Wedding Party
Kyle
Best Man
Kyle is Derrick's brother and has been his best friend all his life. Through thick and thin they have always been there for each other regardless of the distance between them. Kyle enjoys riding his motorcycle, having a beer or whiskey, smoking cigars, and playing some terrible golf (although he is slightly less terrible than Derrick).
Emily
Maid of Honor
Megan met Miss Mason Dixon of Delta, PA through a mutual friend Tori. Emily and Megan did not hit it off at first, but thankfully God had other plans for them. As time went by spending what seemed like all summer on the beach together and going to church on Sundays they became closer and closer until they eventually became best friends. Emily is Megan's go to for advice and reflection. These soul sister's share a love for Kenny Chesney, the beach, girls night that include wine, movies and making pita pizzas, and going to church.
Trevor
Groomsman
Trevor and Derrick grew up together. Although they weren't always friends, YMCA youth basketball got pretty intense back in the day! Trevor is one of the kindest people that Derrick knows and is an outstanding father and husband. Trevor is always laughing and making the best of any situation.
Alex
Matron of Honor
Megan and Alex met at the gym when Alex approached her asking about what kind of vehicle Megan drove, never knowing that they would run back into each other at a bar to find out that Alex had purchased the same vehicle she had asked about. After a few times of hanging out Alex eventually took her to what she called "Down in the county" or as it says on a map Pamlico County, NC. Megan thinking that this was an initiation for a friendship, Alex soon realized that Megan fit right into the small hick fishing town and it's been a hermit crab friendship ever since.
Masyn
Groomsman
Masyn is another childhood friend of Derrick's. They played basketball together from the time they were 5 until they graduated high school. Masyn is always found with a smile on his face and is no stranger to the dance floor.
Victoria
Bridesmaid
A friendship of thick and thin. Tori and Megan met 5 years ago on Halloween when Megan's mom decide to spark random conversation with this stranger about what her plans were after she got off work like she was trying to set up a date. Tori wasn't from the area and didn't know anyone; little did they know they would find themselves out later that night bumping into each other saying how they were glad the other one made it out. This west coast girl and east coast girl instantly became the best of friends. This girl can tackle like a line backer for the Green Bay Packers which is their favorite team. You'll find these two watching football, eating pizza and drinking beer or Tori trying to convince Megan that Justin Bieber is cool all while its 9 o'clock on a Saturday. (inside joke).
Tyler
Groomsman
Tyler and Derrick grew up playing basketball and football together and eating their parents out of house and home on the weekends. These friends have always stayed in touch over the years regardless of where they were at in life.
Jeff
Groomsman
Jeff and Derrick were stationed together in Okinawa in 2014 where they quickly bonded over whiskey, cigars, and good old timey music. Somebody should have told them that those were the good days so they could have enjoyed them more. Jeff is an avid hunter who is most at home out in a tree stand before the sun even rises. Jeff is also a self proclaimed "cutter of the rug" so be on the lookout for some outstanding dancing coming from him on the day of the wedding.
Robbie
Groomsman
Robbie (also known as the Big Cat or Deb) and Derrick first met at Communications School in 29 Palms in 2013. After chasing a drunk Robbie around the sand of the desert Derrick knew they would be thick as thieves. After each spent 2 years stationed overseas and losing contact they ended up stationed together again at Camp Lejeune in 2015 and picked up right where they left off. It's the Deb and Gibbs show, season 3.
Anne Marie
Bridesmaid
Brains and beauty! Here is a special friendship for you... Anne Marie and Megan have only hung out once and it was the same weekend they met each other for the first time. Instantly connecting, they share a love for sunshine, sand, waves and also talking about how their significate others are always on the golf course or playing video games. Anne Marie will tell you her pup Olie is a wise pup that loves her more than his dad.
Rob
Groomsman
Rob and Derrick met at Sergeants Course back in 2015 and quickly became friends. Not one to take life too seriously Rob has never met a person he could not be friends with. Rob and Derrick share the same sense of humor and often can be found shouting "Nothing wrong with that" at each other. Rob also has been a great friend to Megan, often helping get her out of her sad moods when Derrick has been away for training.
Meagan
Bridesmaid
Meagan and Megan met through a friendship app while Meagan was stationed at Camp Lejeune, they decided to meet up for drinks where they learned that one of them likes pickles and the other one doesn't. Can you guess who doesn't like pickles? That's right, its the one that has an extra A in her name. There was no hesitation to become friends! Megan will tell you that she trusts Meagan enough to tell her anything. These two share a love for EDM and the beach. This beautiful lady will light up a room with her smile.
Evan
Groomsman
Evan and Derrick met at Officer Candidate School back in 2018. Evan and Derrick were in the same Fire Team so they spent almost every moment training together over 10 weeks. During this time Evan and Derrick became great friends. Time that was not spent training was spent talking about life and learning from one another. Evan likes to joke about how old Derrick is and how his old knees barely made it through those 10 weeks. Evan is an avid hiker and can often be found exploring around his home state of New Mexico.
Emily
Bridesmaid
This sweet soul met Megan at Derrick and Evan's Officer Candidate School graduation. Megan will tell you she's the kindest person she knows and she'll give you the shoes off her feet (literally). A fourth of July trip spent wandering around Washington ended in Arlington National Cemetery where Megan's feet were becoming so painful she was starting to struggle to walk, this is because Megan made a bad decision to wear some extremely broken in shoes (not smart on her part).... Emily, the kind person that she is took the shoes off of her feet and switched with Megan so she could have some relief. Emily and Megan share a love for Tequila! You'll find this sweet soul hiking around her home of New Mexico with her significant other Evan.
Jessica
Bridesmaid
Jessica is Derrick's barber (holla at your girl if you need a house cut), so you can guess how they met. This sweet hippie soul became Megan's very first Upstate NY friend. A bond slowly started to form as Jess trusted Megan to watch her adorable son Lio on her days off. If you ask Megan, she likes to describe her friendship with Jess as easy or Megan might even say "being around Jess reminds me to be kind and understanding, with being around her feeling like there is no wrong in the world". Jess is the most gentle, easy going, kind person Megan has ever met.
Freddy
Officiant
Freddy is another friend that Derrick made while at OCS. LT Friebott, as he demands Derrick call him, is always out and about with his dog Jax going hunting or shooting. Freddy was a college lacrosse player at The Ohio State University and played professionally until he got injured. Him and Derrick now both have separated AC joints, just on opposite shoulders. As you can tell from his picture he is a master of camouflage. Expect to see Freddy and Evan exchange some friendly banter throughout the night.
