Wedding Party
Topanga
Maid of Honor
Topanga and I have spent eighteen years as roommates and share the same parents. I'm very lucky to have her- not just as a sister, but a partner in crime and a best friend. There's no one I would rather have as MOH by my side. Fun Fact: Topanga (or "Pang" as I like to call her) is a very accomplished volleyball player and just signed onto a college team in Missouri!
Russell
Best Man
Russell and I met in 6th grade, starting out as fellow rebels (hellions, if you will) and ended up riding dirt bikes together by the end of middle school. Since then, we’ve pretty much been the best of buds both on and off the bikes. Russell is the one guy I can both talk dirt bikes with and always count on for some quick whitted, dark, but intelligent humor! Fun Fact: Russell is not only quite the chef, he is also an Aries, much like my other best friend, Chey.
Grace
Bridesmaid
Gracie and I met in kindergarten and have been the best of buds ever since - seventeen years of friendship and going strong! We have done everything from liking/chasing the same boy, touring colleges together, road tripping, and even worked together at Sage Garden Cafe in Frankfort, KY. We consider each other more sisters than friends and I wouldn't have it any other way. Fun Fact: Grace's sense of humor is as fiery as her red hair- watch out!
Corey
Groomsman
I’ve known Corey since the 6th grade. We didn’t really vibe when we met, as he was more of a ‘country folk’ - or a fourth generation Crestukian as he calls it, and I was a skater punk. However, fast forward a handful of years and a few Supercross seasons later and he’s now one of my right hand men. Fun Fact: Corey traded in his mango orange Dodge Charger for a Jeep Wrangler and won’t shut up about his love for it!
Katrina
Bridesmaid
Kat and I have actually known each other almost as long as Grace and I have, but originally we didn't like each other at all. We became friends in the Summer of 2016 when she started working at Sage Garden Cafe with me. We got really close a few years later when she and Grace became roommates! Fun Fact: Katrina is a wickedly talented hairdresser at a high end salon in Lexington, KY and is the only person I will let touch my hair.
Drew
Groomsman
Drew and I have spent twenty-one out of my almost twenty-seven years, growing up together. We have not only shared parents but shared experiences - like living abroad in England and doing some crazy sightseeing in places like Germany, Belgium and France! I’m grateful to have a brother with such a big heart and I’m glad he will be standing beside me on my wedding day. Fun Fact: Drew is CPR certified which will come in pretty handy when I need to be revived after slipping the ring on Chey’s finger and passing out😉
Lydia
Bridesmaid
Lydia and I played on the same JV Vollyball team in 2012 and lets just say she knew what she was doing and I did not... she tried to help me out, but naturally I thought she was kinda bossy and didn't want to be friends. I completely changed my mind and grew to love her a year or so later when she started working at Sage with me and Katrina (Grace came later) and we have been buddies ever since! Fun Fact: I actually drove out to Jackson Hole, WY to stay with Lydia and her grandparents for a few days in 2017!
Cain
Officiant
Cain and Chey met while working at Sage Garden Cafe too (can you sense a theme here?) Cain was actually there before I was and quickly took me under his wing. It's hard to define in words what our friendship is exactly, but I am grateful for it. I heard several years ago that Cain officiated weddings and I have been patiently waiting to ask him to officiate mine! Fun Fact: Cain is an incredibly talented artist who is in the process of drawing and creating a comic book. For some very cool reason that I haven't figured out, he decided to draw/model The Apprentice character in his comic after me. If you hear him call me "Kid" - that's in reference to my character's name!
Sicily
Flower Girl
Sicily is the beautiful daughter of Derrick’s mentor Schiff, and is the cutest flower girl around! Fun Fact: Sicily enjoys working out with her parents and all the members at Militia Fitness- she can do cleans like a pro!
“Schiff”
Groomsman
Derricks mentor of many years and ultimate gym buddy. Also the proud dad of the flower girl!
