Best Man
Pierce and I met when we were both 7 years of age. We grew up on the same street. Everything boys and young men do with their best friends growing up, we have done together. Pierce has been my designated Best Man for decades, and will remain so for decades and beyond.

My sister Heather proved her loyalty and faithfulness from day 1 when she decided to be born on my birthday! Since then she has been by my side, helping me move a million times, decorating my classroom a million times, and helping me plan this wedding! Heather has an adventurous spirit, a love and dedication to her family and pets, and a love for the beautiful outdoors! I’m so lucky she is my sister!

Chad is my ‘younger’ brother by 19 months. I don’t call him my ‘little’ brother, because we are about the same size, and because he’s easily several times stronger than I am. Chad is an expert fisherman, and a health & fitness guru. He’s always been a loving brother, and I’m blessed to have him in my life.

Jamie is my best friend. They say that opposites attract, and this is so true of Jamie and I. Because of Jamie, I’m a little more fun, a little smarter, and a little more adventurous! I can’t imagine life without an awesome friend like her!

Chris is my little brother and the most hilarious and goofy person I know! He can make me laugh like no one else! Chris makes life fun and makes friends wherever he goes. Besides being funny, he’s also a jack-of-all-trades, an awesome artist, has built a car engine, painted his VW bug, and designed and constructed a catio- do you even know what that is?! He sets goals and achieves them. I’m very proud of my brother!

I’ve been friends with Kristi since Kindergarten! How many people can say that? We’ve made so many memories over the years from being in Camp Fire Girls together, playing sports all the way through high school together, and then living in Midtown just a few streets away from each other. Kristi is the most amazing athlete I know and a true and loyal friend.

I met Zac in 2001 when he coached my JV football team at Oak Ridge. Over the years, we have strengthened our friendship through civil, yet rigorous, discussions and debates on virtually all of life’s most important, and unimportant, topics. Zac is a visionary man of integrity with a heart for the people; and, is my go-to source for intelligent ideas and stimulating conversations.
Bridesmaid
Erin and I first met as roommates. We had mutual friends but we didn’t even know each other when we first moved in together- kinda like a blind date. Little did I know that we would become such close friends, and even coworkers for a short time. When I’m with Erin and her kids, I feel like family.

I have known Jeremy for a decade or so. We enjoy exercising our freedoms and wilderness skillsets in the Nation’s dangerous and rugged backcountries. Jeremy is a stand-up family man who I can always trust will do the right thing. Should I ever need additional support with protecting my family, I know I can rely on Jeremy. Jeremy will be my go-to brother in arms in the event of an Alien, Zombie, or second British invasion.

Millicent is a truly amazing woman. I am inspired by her every day- she is a godly woman, an amazing wife and mother, and an amazing business woman too! She is one of the most encouraging, positive people I know! We’ve only been friends for a short time, but she has already made such a positive impact on my life.
