Wedding Party
Hayden May
Best Man
Hayden and Donnie have been best friend for most of their lives. They met through school and spent most days together growing up. They worked multiple jobs together, and remained friends despite going to different high schools and eventually living in different cities when Hayden went off to college. Even today living on different sides of the country, Donnie and Hayden are still as close as ever. Many people don't know this, but Courtney and Donnie credit Hayden for starting their relationship!
Elizabeth Hayhurst
Maid of Honor
Elizabeth is not only Courtney's little sister, but her best friend. Its true when they say that your sister is your built in best friend and greatest confidante. Even though Elizabeth and Courtney bickered as children as all siblings do, they are now inseparable! Donnie and Elizabeth have also become extremely close over the years that Courtney and Donnie have been together. Sometimes they even talk more than Courtney and Elizabeth do. We couldn't image our big day without her.
Jeff Mashburn
Groomsman
Jeff and Donnie's paths have crossed multiple times since they met when Donnie was in high school. They worked together at various places and met multiple times since Jeff was close with Hayden's family (Donnie's Best Man). Over the past few year, however, Courtney and Donnie have become much closer with Jeff. They have had the opportunity to be a part of his life as he and his wife Naomi (Courtney's Bridesmaid) grow their amazing family. Courtney and Donnie are so thankful for Jeff and his family.
Naomi Mashburn
Bridesmaid
Courtney and Donnie met Naomi through Jeff (Donnie's Groomsman) when they began dating a year or so after they did. Since then, Naomi has become one of Courtney's closest friends and supporters. Courtney and Donnie love spending time with not only Jeff and Naomi, but their two sweet children Carter and Ella (ring bearer and flower girl). Courtney and Donnie have loved watching this beautiful family grow and are so honored to have all four of them as part of their special day!
Josh Grooms
Groomsman
Josh is a former coworker of Donnie's. While they did not get the chance to hang out much while they still worked together, Josh and Donnie have become good friends since they both started at new companies. Josh is a very fun and down to earth guy and has been a great supporter of Donnie in all of his decisions. Courtney has also loved getting the opportunity to meet him over the past few months. They are both so excited to have Josh standing by them on this happy day.
MG Scharf
Bridesmaid
MG and Courtney met when they were getting their bachelors degrees together at Samford University. They also played volleyball against each other at rivaling high schools. MG is now going through graduate school with Courtney and is one of her best friends. MG is always there for Courtney regarding all things academic, work, or just life related. She is one of the most determined and kindest people Courtney and Donnie have ever met and they are so excited to celebrate their big day with her!
Stephen Cooper
Groomsman
Stephen and Donnie met at one of Donnie's first full time jobs. The job involved working in the lawn care industry, a field that Donnie did not know much about at the time. Upon starting, Stephen took Donnie under his guidance and taught him everything he needed to know. Since working together, he has continued to be a great friend and mentor to Donnie, especially now that Stephen runs his own business. Donnie and Courtney have loved having Stephen in their lives and are excited to have him as part of their wedding!
Alex Aerni
Bridesmaid
Alex and Courtney met on one of their very first days at Samford University. Even though they did not know each other well for the first year of school, from sophomore year on they have been best friends. They bonded quickly over their love for nutrition and still remain close friends to this day. Alex is by far one of the sweetest and encouraging people Courtney has ever met (and pretty much the reason she made it through school without dropping out). She cannot wait to have Alex by her side for her wedding day!
Carter Mashburn
Ring Bearer
Carter is Jeff and Naomi's son and one of the sweetest and cutest little boys you will ever meet. Courtney and Donnie have loved getting to watch Carter grow into his big personality and cannot wait for him to walk down the aisle with them along with the rest of his family!
Ella Mashburn
Flower Girl
Ella is Jeff and Naomi's daughter and the absolute most precious little girl. Courtney and Donnie had the honor of being in Jeff and Naomi's lives when she was born and have loved watching her grow over the past few months. They cannot wait for her to stand by them during this celebration!
