Wedding Party
Brianna Gallo
Maid of Honor
She’s Caitlyn’s sister and lifelong best friend. Just two years apart, they’ve been through everything together. They were always enrolled in the same sports because Caitlyn insisted on doing everything Brianna did. They fight like sisters but act like best friends, and Caitlyn wouldn’t have it any other way. This day is going to be filled with joy but the saddest part will have to be that her and Caitlyn will no longer share a last name.
Hannah Smith
Matron of Honor
Caitlyn and Hannah met in college and quickly became inseparable. From festivals to everyday adventures, they’ve built a friendship full of laughter, plans, and memories. This is someone Caitlyn can go to with anything and know she will get the support she needs. Even living two hours apart, they always make time for each other. Hannah will always be one of the most important people in Caitlyn’s life.
Jourdan Brown
Bridesmaid
Jourdan became Caitlyn’s college sidekick and unofficial roommate. There were many college memories together including festivals and trips to downtown Greenville. Though life took her to Florida for a while, their bond never changed. Now that she’s back in North Carolina, their friendship has only deepened over the past year and have gotten the chance to plan their weddings together!
Megan Honstetter
Bridesmaid
Through Tanner, Caitlyn met Megan, who is married to one of the groomsmen. She quickly became Caitlyn’s go-to girl, the one who’s always down for anything and knows exactly how to brighten the day. Megan even has Caitlyn’s favorite drinks memorized and makes them to perfection. They also share the love of Wicked and cry about it together.
Brinkley Elliott
Bridesmaid
Caitlyn and Brinkley met around the ages of 12 and 13, though they didn’t hit it off right away thanks to a mutual friend in the middle. That quickly changed, and before long they were inseparable best friends for years and years. Brinkley even lived with Caitlyn for a year during high school, where they shared plenty of “delinquent” adventures. They started college together, and though Brinkley later moved home to finish dental hygiene school, every time they’re together it feels like no time has passed.
Morgan Fowler
Bridesmaid
Caitlyn met Morgan through Tanner, and their friendship was instant. They spent a lot of time together during COVID, living out their “party dreams” and making countless memories. Even after Morgan and Bryant moved to Wilmington and Caitlyn moved to Raleigh, their friendship has remained strong. Caitlyn knows she can always count on Morgan for advice and long, meaningful conversations.
Alexandria Milne
Flower Girl
Caitlyn met Lexi through Tanner, since she’s best friends with Megan, and the group quickly became inseparable. Lexi is fun, thoughtful, and always a great listener, making every hangout a good time. She knew that Caitlyn had no idea what to do about a flower girl and she instantly said she'd be more than happy to do it! Caitlyn is thrilled to include her in the wedding party and Lexi even gets the honor of walking down the aisle with Tanky boy!
Tyler Quick
Best Man
Tyler is Tanner’s older brother and has been around since day one to show him the ropes. Tyler and Cailyn hit it off right away, and the three of us have shared a ton of laughs over the years. Growing up, Tyler was always around, and somehow, he still is ready to help out, crack a joke, or just be the calm in the chaos. One of our favorite memories together is all the time we spent at our grandparents’ house.
Brandon Price
Best Man
Brandon and Tanner met when they were just 13 years old through mutual friends at school, and what started as a middle school friendship grew into one of the most important relationships in Tanner’s life. Over the years, Brandon has been the kind of friend who always shows up, gives honest advice, and isn’t afraid to have the deep, meaningful conversations when they’re needed most. Whether they're out golfing, spending time with friends, or just catching up over a drink we always all have the best time together.
Nathan Honstetter
Groomsman
Tanner met Nate around the age of 18, and what started as a friendship built on rec basketball games and shared nights out quickly turned into a strong, lasting bond. Whether they were exploring new restaurants, swapping jokes over drinks, or hitting the court, Nate has always been someone who brings energy, loyalty, and good times wherever he goes. More recently, Nate played a huge role in helping Tanner transition into a new career, just one example of the many ways he’s shown up as a true friend.
Tanner Averett
Groomsman
The two Tanners first met around age 9 while playing Little League baseball, and even though they went to different middle schools, they reconnected in high school and picked up right where they left off. Tanner is the life of the party, the kind of guy who brings energy, laughter, and good vibes wherever he goes. He’s also the one you can count on to lift your spirits when you’re feeling down. We love that he's going to be a part of our day!
Damien Jenkins
Groomsman
Tanner and Damien also met in Little League baseball, where they first met as competitors. Over the years, their friendly rivalry extended to recreational soccer, but it ended up turning into a real friendship. Damien is the guy who can always make you laugh, no matter the situation. On top of that, he’s a proud dad to two of the sweetest kids and we love spending time with all of them.
Bryant Fowler
Usher
Tanner met Bryant during their freshman year of high school when they ended up in the same class and it didn’t take long for them to hit it off. Coincidentally, Bryant was also friends with Brandon, and soon enough, all the connections came together to form the friend group they've kept to this day. Bryant is the certified goofball of the group, always cracking jokes, keeping things interesting, and occasionally driving everyone just a little bit crazy (in the best way). But no matter what, we love him like a brother.
Tank Gallo
Ring Bearer
Caitlyn, of course, had to include Tank in the wedding. She adopted him in college, and he’s been by her side through so many stages of life, offering comfort and companionship when she needed it most. Now, he’s officially Tanner’s “stepchild” and proud big brother to Tiger, as well as the three mischievous cats Belles, Binx, and Benji! He's 10 years old now and they will cherish all the moments they have together especially knowing that he is getting older. We love you so much tanky boy and can't wait for you to be a part of our big day!
