Caroline & Riley
Wedding Party
Megan McMillan
Maid of Honor
I have known Megan my entire life, literally. Our moms are best friends; and we, in turn, are sister/cousins. I can remember from a young age wanting to be just like Megan; especially when it came to her sense of fashion. It is fabulous and her shoe collection is to die for! Megan is the older sister I never had, but always wanted. She has been there for every major life event; my birth, graduations, moving, holidays, etc. Having Megan stand by my side on the biggest day of my life was a no brainier. I love her so much and am thankful to have her in my life.
Jacklyn McMillan
Maid of Honor
I have also known Jacklyn my entire life. She and Megan are sisters and we are sister/cousins. Growing up, I was always stuck to her side and I wanted to do everything she did. Jacklyn is full of life, beyond witty and super smart. I can always count on her to make me laugh. She embodies everything I hope to be one day. Jacklyn is the older sister I never had, but always wanted. It was a no brainier to have her by my side on the biggest day of my life. I love her a ton and am so thankful for her!
Rachel Schillo
Bridesmaid
Rachel and I met at East Carolina University while serving as ECU Ambassadors. We were also sorority sisters in AOII; where Rachel was my "Big". During our time at ECU, we made lots of special memories together. We even won "Best Big/Little" for our sorority one year! Rachel and I now live in Nashville, where our bond continues to grow and deepen. In fact, Rachel was the one who convinced me to join Bumble (where I met Riley). She was my "hype girl" when I was so nervous to go on our first date. I can always count on Rachel to give honest and unbiased advice, or to come help me at the drop of a hat. I am so grateful that ECU brought me one of my lifelong best friends. I couldn't imagine my life without Rachel's friendship!
Jessie Listoe
Bridesmaid
Jessie is the best sister-in-law a girl could ask for! To be completely honest, I'm not sure how my brother convinced her to marry him. I'm really glad she said "yes" though. Jessie is kind hearted, smart, funny and the epitome of a Southern girl. I can always count on her to say "yes" to new adventures; like spontaneous beach trips and spending way too much money at Altar'd State. Over the years Jessie has become not only my sister-in-law, but also one of my dearest friends!
Mary Faith Gregory
Bridesmaid
Mary Faith and I met in 2015 while serving as Educational Leadership Consultants (ELC) for our sorority, AOII. I remember meeting Mary Faith and thinking, "Wow, this girl has it all together AND she has perfect hair!" She is my "Joanna Gaines" bestie and Nashville neighbor. She can transform a room, from drab to fab, in no time at all! Mary Faith and I have made many lasting memories together: being a bridesmaid in her wedding, 25th birthday trips, NYC at Christmas and fun summer pool days. I'm very grateful to AOII and the ELC program for introducing us. I'm thankful for our friendship and excited for all the future memories we'll make.
Kate Donahue
Bridesmaid
Kate and I also met while serving as ELCs for AOII. She, Mary Faith, and I share a very special friendship. We affectionately dub ourselves "tres amigas". Kate is my "Elle Woods" bestie. She embodies everything good, pink and sparkly in the world. She is also a planner extraordinaire, all while looking effortlessly flawless. I can always count on Kate to sing (Legally Blonde The Musical), eat pasta, and indulge in a good glass of red wine with me. I'm so thankful for our friendship. I can't wait to see what adventures we get into in the future!
Mary Virginia Ireland
Bridesmaid
I met Mary Virginia (or "Marv" as I call her) during a Christmas trip to New York City with our mutual friend, Mary Faith. I remember my first impression of Marv being, "There is nothing this girl can't do!" She spoke fluent Spanish to the pizza man, color coordinated a perfect daily schedule for our trip, and even gave her hot hands to a homeless man. My initial impression of Marv remains unchanged. She fearlessly moved (from Tennessee to NYC) to accept a position at New York University. Marv is one of the kindest people I know. She has a heart of gold and will do anything for anyone. I am so thankful for her friendship!
Cristen Harry
Bridesmaid
Cristen and I met through our mutual best friend, Rachel. Whether it is our weekly girl's night, trivia night, or random outings; I can always count on her to say "yes" to new adventures. Although we haven't known each other long, Cristen has quickly become one of my closest friends. I look forward to all the fun times and future memories we'll make!
Kyle Lee
Best Man
Kyle and I met sometime during our years in middle school. We have maintained our close friendship ever since then. We share a love for music and Predators hockey; like no other bromance out there. I can’t wait to have him by my side on our special day!
Parker Steed
Groomsman
My one, and only, little brother (for now)! We share a love and passion for cars, something our father instilled in us at a very young age. I’m sure he’s excited to gain a wonderful sister in the family!
James Wood
Groomsman
James and I met in middle school and have maintained our friendship all these years. We were even roommates for all four years of college. We've shared some of the best times of our lives with one another, and have lots of stories which I’ll never forget. James is a person I know I can always count on. I can’t wait to have him by my side!
Christian Listoe
Groomsman
When a city boy meets a country boy, you get ... a great friendship! I couldn’t have dreamed of gaining a better brother-in-law. Christian has been so welcoming, and great to me, since the first time we met in the fall of 2017. I can’t wait to officially become brothers-in-law!
Chris Sherry
Groomsman
It’s getting repetitive, but I also met Chris in middle school. It’s amazing that we are all still best friends even after all these years. Almost every day after high school, I would be hanging out at Chris' house; and on the weekends, we would be tearing it up on the paintball field. We have lots of great memories together, and I look forward to making more on August 8, 2020!
Sam Long
Groomsman
Finally, somebody I didn’t meet in middle school! Sam and I met in second grade (right after I moved to Tennessee) and we instantly became best friends. We were stoked to learn that we lived in the same neighborhood. As we got older we went to different high schools, and colleges, but still managed to maintain our friendship. I’m so excited to have him by my side at our wedding!
Cody Wells
Groomsman
Cody and I met sometime in ... you guessed it, middle school! We’ve shared many sleepless nights of Xbox in our dorm rooms together. We joined the Kappa Sigma fraternity together and we share a love for Predators hockey. He’s been a great friend and someone I can count on. I'm thrilled to have him by my side!
Brandon Wester
Groomsman
I have known Brandon since we were kids in 6th grade. We spent a lot of our time running around the neighborhood, with James Wood, trying to stay out of trouble. I stood by Brandon on his big day and I'm super excited that he will return the favor!
