Chelsea & Jon
Wedding Party
Briley Butler Cross
Matron of Honor
Briley and I met freshman year of college, and we have been inseparable ever since. She is my best friend, my biggest supporter, and my soulmate. I couldn't imagine life without her. If you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: any and all things Harry Potter, dancing (namely, doing the wop), and how much she loves her two golden retrievers.
William Molloy
Best Man
Will and I have known each other since middle school but didn’t become friends until 8th grade (thanks to Phillip). We have been friends ever since. From our days growing up in Knoxville to living in Chattanooga he has always been someone I can count on. I truly value his friendship and am grateful to call him my Best Man. If you see Will at the wedding some talking points are: -Anything having to do with cars -His sweet pup Ruby Aka the Rub Dog -Anything that involves having a good time. -Our trip overseas to Germany (Oktoberfest), Italy, and Spain.
Mallory Tate
Bridesmaid
I met Mallory sophomore year of high school. We've been through a lot together, from tragedies, bad hair days, and drama to celebrations, successes, a Justin Bieber concert, hilarious memories, and the best dog snuggles. She is the most loving and funniest person I know! If you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: Tennessee Wildlife, dogs, and music you can dance to.
Collin Crane
Groomsman
Collin and I met in 3rd grade and quickly became friends. We have been friends ever since, and even though after high school we took different paths we always maintained that friendship. From playing NBA Street in his older brother's room to standing next to him on his wedding day I am lucky to have a friend like him. If you see Collin at the wedding some talking points are: -His two children (Carson & Miller) -Our trip to Hilton Head and the fact we still might not be welcomed back to that resort -His recent pod cast appearance.
Kirsi Noonan
Bridesmaid
The stars aligned for Kirsi and I to meet and somehow always stay geographically close to each other. I don't know exactly when we met, but I know that as soon as we did freshman year of college, we would be friends forever. If you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: anything Disney related, craft beer and fancy cocktails, and how she made it out of Cookeville as the open-minded queen that she is.
Robby Martin
Groomsman
Robby and I were those friends that had a bunch of friends in common all through middle school. It wasn't until high school were we really started to get to know each other and became friends. Robby is someone who will always be there to offer advice and help when you need it. He is someone who will push you to be the best version of yourself and wants nothing but success for all of his friends. If you see Robby during the wedding here are some talking points you can discuss with him: -Kobe Bryant (That is all you need to say and he can take the conversation from there) -His new role with his new company, and -His top 3 favorite books he believes everyone should read
Brooke Meaders
Bridesmaid
I met Brooke at work when we first moved to Atlanta. Since then, she has become a precious, precious friend. We have cried together, laughed together, gone to the beach and Disney together, and battled it out at countless game nights together. To know Brooke is to love her, and I love her fiercely! If you see her at the wedding, conversation topics could include: her dog Murray, anything and everything in the literary canon, being confused for each other at work for four years, and being a kick butt teacher!
Phillip Ballard
Groomsman
Phillip is the closest thing to a brother I had growing up. When I moved into the neighborhood it took a time for us to warm up to each other. After that we were at each others house so much the front door was always open. From playing on numerous sports teams together & playing video games until 3am. Phillip is one of the best and most honest friends I have ever had. He never is one to shy away from the blunt truth and that is something I admire about him. He and his parents (Todd & Marie) to this day I consider my second family. If you see Phillip at the wedding here are some talking points: -You can ask him about his new job and moving from Chicago to right outside Atlanta. -Anything fitness because that his hobby/passion and is always setting new goals for his fitness journey.
