Wedding Party
Hailey Guimaraes
Matron of Honor
My sister is the most incredible person I know, and I'm honored to have her as my Matron of Honor. She’s always been there for me, offering unwavering support and a listening ear. Her hardworking nature, kindness, and thoughtfulness are qualities that I admire deeply. I couldn’t imagine walking down the aisle without her by my side. I can't wait to see her become a mother; I know she'll be an amazing and loving parent.
Katie Cato
Bridesmaid
Katie is more than just a coworker; she’s a dear friend who has become an integral part of my life. Over the past three years of working together, I've come to appreciate her incredible warmth, humor, and her passion for teaching. She’s a truly caring individual who always goes above and beyond to help others. As a mom, she's an amazing role model, and I can’t imagine my wedding day without her by my side. Katie is the kind of friend who makes life brighter and more meaningful.
Caroline Jones
Bridesmaid
Caroline has been my best friend since we were kids, and I'm so grateful for our enduring bond. We’ve shared countless memories, from playing soccer together to cheering on our favorite college football teams. Even when life takes us in different directions, our friendship remains as strong as ever. Caroline is the sweetest and most supportive friend a girl could ask for. I know she will always be there for me.
Makenzie Ramsey
Bridesmaid
Mak has been an invaluable friend throughout my college years, and I'm so lucky to have her as a bridesmaid. We met in our education program and quickly formed an unbreakable bond. No matter what challenges I've faced, Mak has always been there to offer support, advice, and a listening ear. Her loyalty and friendship mean the world to me and I know she will always be there for me, no matter what!
Jena Collins
Bridesmaid
Jena has been more than just a sister-in-law to me. She's become a dear friend who has welcomed me into her family with open arms. We've shared countless laughs, adventures, and even a few tears together. Her kindness has always been a source of comfort and inspiration. Jena and I connected instantly and she has always acted like a sister to me since the day we met. She's the most incredible mother to my nieces and nephews and I look up to her in so many ways. I hope one day to be the type of mother she is to her kids.
Emily Garner
Bridesmaid
Emily is one of those rare friendships that feel like you’ve known each other forever, even though we've only been friends for a short time. We instantly connected during our time as teachers, sharing laughter, tears, and everything in between. Emily has been my rock, my confidante, and my ride-or-die. She continues to amaze me every-time we talk and I know our friendship will just continue to grow stronger.
Patrick Bowdring
Best Man
The best man! What a guy. Pat and I have been through it all. From running around the hallways of Stratford Landing, to spending hours in the infamous jam room, the many trips to Cobb Island, all the way to watching the tide in Tuscaloosa! Pat is one of the most kind hearted, generous, and free-spirited individuals I've ever met. I don't think there is a single person out there who doesn't get along with him. He's the life of every party and always looking to put smiles on the faces around him. I've always been jealous of his care free attitude and positive outlook on life. I'm extremely grateful for all of the memories we've shared and honored to call him the best man.
Willard Mcmullin
Groomsman
Mr. Popular! Willard is a one of a kind guy for sure. You may find him spending his days looking at luxury watches, expensive jewelry, or even in the kitchen whipping up an exotic culinary dish. He is a man of many traits and quite the ladies man as well (we still don't know why). But in all seriousness, Willard is a real ride or die. You can always count on him when you need him and is a real genuine, kind hearted, and caring friend. Willard never fails to make everyone around him die of laughter, whether it was intentional or not! I'll always remember all of the camping trips, ski trips, longboard sessions, and grueling wrestling room practices together. He is one of my closest friends and I cherish all of the memories we've had together over the course of nearly 20 years.
Jack Kern
Groomsman
Jack is a true gem. I greatly admire his unwavering dedication to whatever he puts his mind to and his strong moral compass. He’s a passionate individual who’s always there to lend a helping hand no matter what. Whether it’s on the ultimate frisbee field or on the ski slopes, Jack’s enthusiasm and love for adventure make every moment memorable. We’ve shared countless hours dying of laughter, enduring grueling camping trips, enjoying spontaneous beach trips, and blasting our favorite albums late night from start to finish. He's one of my closest friends and I look forward to hanging out at the White House once he becomes president!
Jonah McMahon
Groomsman
I first met Jonah when he walked me to the clinic after stepping on a bee in kindergarten. Who knew that would spark a lifelong friendship. "Yohan" is always down for a good time and a long night out. We've spent countless nights wondering Old Town, going to unforgettable concerts, losing money at MGM, and having many of those classic 2:00 AM deep conversations about the state of our lives. Over the years, Jonah has always had my back and is always there for the boys. Anytime all the guys get together somebody always asks "Where's Jonah at??" He's loved by everyone. We've been through a lot together and I'm honored to have him as a groomsman!
David Farson
Groomsman
Dave has been an absolute role model to me ever since I moved next door to him back in 2nd grade. He is truly one of the nicest people I've ever met and would drop everything to come help you if needed. He's always been the "smart" one of the group. Good grades, never missed class, and even sang in the school chorus for god sake! For YEARS, we would knock on each other's doors everyday, seeing what new neighborhood adventures we could get into. Whether it was shooting hoops, jumping our bikes on makeshift ramps, exploring the woods, or full fledge wrestling matches in the basement, it was always a memorable time. I don't think we've ever had a single argument, outside of maybe fighting over who had to go get the basketball that rolled down the street. Dave is a true lifelong friend.
Jacob Kaplan
Groomsman
I could go on forever about Jacob. The list of memories we've shared would be too long to type it all out. He is an absolute legend amongst all of us and is loved dearly by everyone. We became great friends from the early days back at Stratford Landing and have stayed close over all of these years. Some of my favorite memories include playing endless games of catch in the backyard, hanging out at Riverside Gardens pool, loitering at the Elkin 711, spending hours roaming around the neighborhood on our bikes, and playing hours of MW2 in the basement. Of course we've made some dumb decisions, such as throwing huge parties at his parents house, or even his neighbors house....Anyway, like I mentioned, Jacob is loved by everyone and I'm extremely grateful for the memories we've shared.
Tensley Collins
Flower Girl
Sweet Tensley Shea, I'm so thrilled to officially become your aunt. You're the most adorable little girl, a wonderful big sister, and a joy to be around. I can't wait for you to be the flower girl at our wedding. You're sure to steal everyone's heart!
Greyson Gibbons
Ring Bearer
I’ve watched Greyson grow from a tiny baby into the incredible little boy he is today. From those early hospital days to our fun-filled weekends together, I’ve loved every moment. He’s so smart, sweet, and full of energy. I can’t imagine my wedding day without my cousin walking the rings down the aisle.
Brecken Collins
Ring Bearer
Uncle Austin and I have had the pleasure of watching you grow into the amazing little boy you are today. You're always full of laughter, joy, and sweetness. You're the best big brother to Finn and your sense of humor is absolutely contagious. We love you more than words can say and can't imagine our wedding day without you.
Finnley Collins
Ring Bearer
Even though you’re only one, you’re the sweetest little boy. You’re so calm and collected, and a wonderful brother to Tensley and Brecken. It’s been a joy watching you grow, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds. We love you!
