Wedding Party
Brittany Autry
Matron of Honor
As my amazing older sister, Brittany has been my lifelong role model, biggest cheerleader, and best friend. Her strength, love, and unwavering support mean the world to me, and I couldn't imagine this day without her by my side. I'm so lucky to have her as my sister—and my matron of honor.
Sofia Blankenship
Maid of Honor
Sofia is more than just my best friend—she’s my chosen family, my bonus sister, and the person who’s been by my side through all of life’s ups and downs. Her loyalty, laughter, and love have shaped so many of my happiest memories, and I’m beyond grateful to have her standing next to me on this special day.
Kaitlin Martin
Bridesmaid
Kaitlin and I have been best friends since 2014—growing up together, sharing endless memories, and becoming like family. Her friendship has been a constant in my life, and I’m so grateful to have her with me to celebrate this special moment.
Rachel Martin
Bridesmaid
I met Rachel in college, and we quickly became close friends and eventually roommates. From late-night talks to sweet treat runs, she made those years some of the best of my life. I’m so excited to have her by my side as I start this new chapter.
Courtney Benfield
Bridesmaid
Courtney and I met while working at the same school and eventually had the joy of teaching on the same team. Our shared experiences in the classroom turned into a wonderful friendship full of laughs, support, and unforgettable moments. I’m so grateful to have her by my side on this special day!
Tori Sprouse
Bridesmaid
Though we met later in life, Tori has become such a cherished friend. Her joy, authenticity, and unwavering support have been a true blessing. I’m incredibly thankful for the beautiful friendship we’ve built and so happy to have her standing with me on this special day.
Ella Madden
Flower Girl
Our sweet flower girl holds a very special place in the bride’s heart. The bride was her nanny for several years, and during that time, they formed a bond full of laughter, stories, and countless memories. It means the world to have her walk down the aisle and be part of this special day.
Jacob Maragno
Best Man
It is only fitting that my best man is also my best friend - and my brother. Jacob has been by my side since day one, literally. We've shared childhood memories, life lessons, questionable fashion choices, and countless laughs. Having him stand beside me on the biggest day of my life means everything — not just because he’s my brother, but because he’s earned the title of Best Man every step of the way.
Brett Beamesderfer
Groomsman
I met Brett in college, and somehow we've managed to stay friends despite everything we did during those years. We’ve talked on the phone nearly every day since — which at this point, probably qualifies us for some kind of long-distance relationship award. Brett has been a constant presence in my life, so having him as a groomsman was a no-brainer.
Andrew Miller
Groomsman
I met Andrew when we both moved to Charlotte around the same time. We started playing hockey together in high school, college and men’s league – and even won a few championships along the way. We were roommates all four years in college with countless memories that were made along the way. He’s such an amazing friend on and off the ice, I cannot wait to have him by my side on the big day.
Patrick Kalbaugh
Groomsman
Patrick was one of the first friends that I made after moving to Charlotte. Ever since that first day of freshman year in high school we have been extremely close since. I can proudly say that I was the one to get him into hockey and now he might be the biggest LA Kings fan you know. I am so glad to have him by my side as I start this new chapter.
Matt Allen
Groomsman
I met Matt later in college, but it didn't take long for us to become close friends. After school, we ended up living together for 4 years where you would find us at Gin Mill every Friday night and Tavern on Sunday to watch football. I am beyond grateful for his friendship and glad he'll be standing by my side on the big day.
John Holzer
Groomsman
John is hands down one of the funniest people I know – the kind of guy who can make an ordinary day unforgettable just by being himself. We met in college and have always been very close since. Whether we were surviving classes or just hanging out, there was never a dull moment with OG Holz. Grateful to have him by my side for this special day.
Eric Patterson
Groomsman
I met Eric after college through hockey, and we quickly became great friends. The constant late night car pools to hockey and staying after (Sorry Megan and Savannah) to watch Sunday night Football are some amazing times we've had together. I am beyond excited to have him by my side.
Brad Ricketts
Groomsman
I’ve been friends with Brad since college, and he’s been a big part of my life ever since. Between the constant random nights in college, to being one of Niner Hockey’s biggest supporters and constantly hitting the links together, Brad was always there when it matters. I am really glad he’ll be standing with me on the big day.
Brian McLeod
Groomsman
I met Brian in college, and we made countless memories together — especially during our time at Sidney Crest Ave. From late nights to unforgettable weekends, those years wouldn’t have been the same without him. Now he’s living in Austin, Texas, and visiting him is always a highlight. He’s been a great friend through it all, and I’m excited to have him as part of the wedding.
