Wedding Party
Carly Beckham
Maid of Honor
Carly's nickname to me is "sunshine" and once you meet her, it will be so easy to tell why! Carly lights up every room she walks into. She is one of the sweetest, kindest souls you will ever meet and would do anything to help someone in need. She is so thoughtful and caring and my life would not be the same without her in it! We have shared so many amazing memories and have shared so many laughs, smiles, tears and adventures. (the watermelon #iykyk.) Carly and I met in 7th grade and immediately clicked from there. When her family moved, I was devastated but I knew that distance was no match for our friendship. We stayed in contact through texts, calls, facetimes and although I wished I could hug her sweet self more, we only grew closer. Before the start of my junior year, my family got the news that we were moving to Jacksonville and that I would get to finish high school with my best friend! Some people's most prized possessions are objects, things they accomplished. For me? One of the nearest and dearest things I hold in my heart is Carly's friendship.
Joshua Tarr
Best Man
Josh is my stepbrother. Josh came to my school Wolf Branch in fourth grade and we started playing sports together. Ironically, my dad would end up marrying Josh's mom. We went from best friends to brothers! Josh is one the most genuine people I know and always takes care of his own. As we got older Josh, and I became closer as the years went on. Josh then moved away to Kansas City and now Tampa Bay. Although he is farther away, we have remained very close and when he comes to visit, it is like he never left. When I met Cassidy, Josh was the first person I called to tell him about it. He was extremely supportive and excited to see where it would go. If it was not for Josh in my life, I would be a worse person. I am excited to get to have him be my best man and enjoy this special day together. We ride together, we die together #BadBoyz4Life
Timmy Polacek
Groomsman
Timmy has been my friend since the first year I started umpiring at the park. Andrew and Timmy are twins, and the moment I met them, I thought these guys are my type of people. We had a lot of fun that first year out at the park and I got to become part of their family. I would of never thought though on what our friendship would become. Over the past 12 years all three of us have gotten extremely close and it has been a great ride. We talk to each other every day and I know it is unique to have a group of friends like these two. Not everyone gets to experience what we have in our friendship. Timmy is a great guy who will work harder than anyone to get a job done and will not stop until it is perfection. After I met Cassidy, I was excited to introduce her to Timmy. In the start, she was overwhelmed how we acted together but now Timmy and her are extremely close, and she realizes how important our friendship is. I admire Timmy as a person and if you need to figure out which one he is , he is on the dance floor, or taking a shot. #TboneMalone.
Lance Kohler
Groomsman
Lance and I became friends once I started hanging out with Andrew and Timmy. Lance was their best friend in high school and then we are started hanging out together. I knew that Timmy and Andrew and I had a unique bond, and we are all the same type of person which I knew was special. Yet, my I met Lance, I realized he is just like us as well. Lance is a great guy that will always bring the party and great mood. From our golf outing to beer drinking bar hoping experiences, it has been great getting to know Lance. I am so excited to have him celebrate with all of us.
Andrew Polacek
Groomsman
Andrew and I have had a hell of a friendship over the past 12 years. From meeting at the park, to basically adding myself to his family, we have seen it all together. Andrew like his brother Timmy is one of the hardest working people I know and one of the most intelligent people I know. His dedication to his business made me realize how good of a person he is and then he met Kayla and are friendship got even closer. I was so happy when Andrew married Kayla and they have been the people I lean on the most. Now, Andrew has two boys Grady and Griffin who have made my life even better. We still get to hangout all the time as a big group, and it is a unique friendship we all get to share. I am so excited to have Andrew in the wedding. We talk on a daily basis and it usually is talking about how we need to slow down on drinking, what a stupid bet that was that we placed, or how can we get both of us free and go do something. We have come to realize honesty is the best thing and it has saved us both a lot of trouble. #Sauceistheboss.
Jessica Carrell
Matron of Honor
Jessica, Dave's stepsister, is also an amazing mother to three beautiful kiddos, Dakota, Brooks and Magnolia and a wonderful person in general. When I first met Dave's family, I was nervous. Jessica changed that very quickly. Her loud, hilarious and expressive personality made me feel so welcome and loved. Meeting her sweet babies was another indication of how amazing she was, due to how sweet, polite and respectful they were. I always appreciate talking to Jessica about anything and everything at family nights. She is the best hype woman, life of every party, espresso martini expert and mama you will ever meet. I am so lucky to be gaining such an amazing sister-law to share all of the laughs, ups and downs with.
Jasmine Grimm
Bridesmaid
Jasmine and I met when she was two years old and I was four. Yup, you read that right. We have been friends for 22 years! Over those past 22 years, there have been countless sleepovers, milestones we have supported each other through and moments where we have laughed until we cried. Jasmine is such a kind, genuine, supportive and beautiful person on the inside and out. Her dream is to be a Speech Language Pathologist and help others. Jasmine has always had the biggest heart and is always looking for ways to support or help others. I am so so lucky to call her one of my best friends. I love when we get to call or facetime to catch up. We typically end up chatting for 2 hours without even noticing. Friends like Jasmine are hard to come by, so I will hold on to her forever. #babycakesandsugarlipsforlife
Grace Grimm
Bridesmaid
Grace and I have been best friends since she was two and I was four. I am beyond grateful for those 22 years of friendship. Grace is a one of a kind person. She is so gentle, sweet, loving and loyal. However, she is also one of the most hilarious and outgoing people I know. Her laugh can act as a domino affect and her smile is contagious. It is difficult to feel anything other than happy when you are around Grace . Grace and I have supported each other through so many milestones and I am so lucky to have her still by my side. Grace will be showing off all of her sick dance moves and grabbing people who are sitting down to make sure they have a good time. She is someone who will always be one of my best friends. #honeybunchesofoats
