Lindsay & Austin
Wedding Party
James Payton Huffaker
Groomsman
Payton is one of my oldest and most beloved friends. We met in middle school in Bellevue, TN and continued onto high school together. We've traveled, worked and played music together and share a wide variety of mutual passions. He is a great and loyal friend and I look forward to having him by my side at my wedding.
James Hyung Joon Rim
Groomsman
I met James in middle school and we quickly became fast friends. James, Payton and I worked together in high school at times and always spent time with each other. In college, I would travel to Knoxville and always stayed with James and Payton and we enjoyed seeing shows and gaming together. James has been a wonderful friend throughout the years and will be a dear member of my wedding memories.
Elias Taylor MacDonald
Groomsman
Elias and I met freshman year of high school and immediately became good friends. Our mutual passion for music brought us together and for the next ten years we would play in bands together. He has been an irreplaceable part of my life and is a wonderful human being (and decent musician).
Spencer Gray Moore
Groomsman
I met Spencer in the fifth grade and our friendship took off very quickly. Through birthday parties as kids, and onto bandmates for ten years, Spencer has been a close friend for as long as I can remember. He is fiercely loyal, dependable, and has excellent taste in beer (not as good as mine). I have spent countless hours with he and his family and I look forward to having him next to me on my biggest day.
Ruth Miriam Rasras
Bridesmaid
Ruthie and I have been best friends since 2008, but we've never gone out of style. Ruth is honestly the reason that Austin and I first got together! Because of her encouragement, I had the courage to go out with Austin on our first date, and Ruth was with me right up until Austin arrived at my house. Without a doubt, this friendship has made me the person that I am today. Through everything, she was right on the frontlines. Over the last twelve years, Ruthie and I have truly grown up together, and it has been the honor of a lifetime. When we were kids, Ruth and I dreamt of our wedding days- we always talked about how we couldn't wait to stand by each other, and now I am overjoyed to watch those dreams come true.
Della Hanes Smith
Bridesmaid
My globe-trotting sensation. Even though you live 8,164 miles away, you have always felt like home. We've been best friends for nearly eight years, and we have truly aged like fine wine. We met on the first Tuesday of undergrad, and I have never been more happy to show up an hour and a half early for bible class. The day I met Della, I knew that college was going to be one of the best times of my life, and so much of that is because of her. From the Well, to the Wild Cow, to the couch screaming about Avatar The Last Airbender and Gossip Girl-- you are truly the......creme della creme. We will never be subtle, and I think that's one of the best things about us. Even though you're an international sensation, you'll always be my American Girl.
John Grayson Breeden
Bridesman
My oldest friend! Gray and I became friends in second grade, and there is absolutely no way for me to describe our friendship. He has, quite literally, been there for everything. When we were kids we spent our recess hours playing Foursquare, when we were in high school we spent our afternoons at Bongo Java, when we were in college we spent our Saturdays having pancake breakfasts..as we have grown up, we have both changed so much- but spending time together has always been a constant.
Shannon Delane Clark
Bridesmaid
Shannon and I became friends during our junior year of high school, and our friendship continued to grow throughout college. Shan has introduced me to so many of my favorite things! She introduced me to the joys of a lazy Sunday morning, black coffee, and the perfect cozy movie. Every memory of Saturday morning pancakes, or night spent watching "When Harry Met Sally" is a gift, and I am so thankful for it! Shannon and her incredible family have truly enriched my life in every possible way. When I say I couldn't have done this without her, I really mean it.
Victoria Ann Shaputis
Bridesmaid
Victoria and I went to high school together, but our friendship truly took off in college. After being partners in undergraduate anatomy, Victoria and I started spending more and more free time together- and what a gift it has been. There is no one else that I would rather scream at the television with. She brought me to the dark side of Gossip Girl, the Bachelor Franchise, and even got me to go out on Broadway! If there is anyone that can get me to step out of my comfort zone, it's Shaps. Whether we are at the beach or the hockey rink, there is nothing that we can't/won't do. From high school to grad school, we truly have grown up together. You've been an incredible best friend, sister, and partner. You are the best medicine, Dr. Shaputis. xoxo, you know you love me
Melissa Kate Forbis
Bridesmaid
I slid into Katie's instagram inbox with a meme, and the rest is honestly history. We were acquaintances throughout high school, but truly became close in our undergraduate years. Whether we are curled up with a cup of tea watching "Avatar: The Last Airbender" or stealing an afternoon in the sunshine, there is never a shortage of laughter (or dog pictures.) From being front row (!!!) for Shakey Graves, to standing with you on your wedding day, every single memory with you is a treasure. Katie truly is the spice of life, and I couldn't imagine doing life
