Wedding Party
Britt Reid
Best Person & Groom's sibling
As his older sibling, I have had the pleasure of knowing Kevin for his entire life. We’ve often said that, even if we weren’t born into the same family, we would’ve found one another and become good friends regardless! We are also part-time roommates when Kevin touches down in New York in between his various galivants around the globe. Kev and Britt love traveling together to fun new places and seeing live music when we get the chance, watching epic fantasy shows with bangin soundtracks, and exploring the game maps of the newest Assassin's Creed games. You’ll catch Britt at the wedding reception requesting all the bops and leading everyone out on the dance floor! Song I can't wait to hear on the dance floor: I have to pick just one?! I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Espresso, anything by Chappel Roan
Emily Ann Clemons
Co-Maid of Honor
I met Emily because we both worked at a dance studio in Huntsville. She was one grade above me, but we were in the same dance classes and both working as assistant dance teachers. At summer kickoff, our boss volun-told Emily that she’d need to drive me to dance and home every night (we lived close together). We now laugh at that moment, joking if Em was rolling her eyes that she had to drive me around or if I was scared that the older, prettier bigger kid would be driving me every day with both of us in the hot seat for small talk. What started as a quick drive became the foundation for the friendship we have today. Debriefing about our days, venting about the silly things that happened at dance, being excited together for recitals, competitions, and school musicals, these are just scratching the surface of the memories that bonded us. Emily became my best friend through hundreds of small moments and life talks during some very formative years. She became someone who I trusted, who I learned is loyal to her core, and who loved surprising me with random acts of thoughtfulness. From sleepovers to dance recitals, (lots of) international travel, to living together in NYC, embarking on new life stages and career journeys, planning surprise engagements!, and countless moments in between, I’m so grateful for that first car ride, the beginning of a friendship I know will last a lifetime.

Matt Brown
Groom's Party & Bride's older sibling
I became close with Kevin while Em and Kevin were living in Boston where we bonded over video games, board games and generally nerdy things. My wife, Sam and I now live in Huntsville and are parents to the newest Brown, Emily and Kevin’s incredible Godson and nephew, Murray! Song I can't wait to hear on the dance floor: Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston
Catie Brown
Co-Maid of Honor & Bride's younger sibling
Em is my amazing, spectacular, brilliant big sister, and I am the luckiest little sister in the world! From dressing up and dancing in the backyard to traveling the world together and, let’s face it, still calling her to plan all my important outfits, Em has been my rock and role model all my life. If teleportation existed (sorry, Kevin!), you’d find me and Em answering life’s big questions and laughing at our more absurd memories over a glass of wine and a pasta at Saponara’s every day they’re open! We’ve seen each other through the rain and the rainbows and I am incredibly grateful to have found a best friend in my big sis :) I can’t wait to celebrate her and Kevin in Italy! Song I can't to hear on the dance floor: Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye
Chris Brown
Groom's Party & Bride's younger sibling

Samantha Brown
Bride's Party & Bride's sister-in-law
Emily is the sister I never had but gained through marriage! Song I can't wait to hear on the dancefloor: My Girl by the Temptations
Jarrett Evans
Groom's Party
Kevin and I met in college, through our business fraternity AKPsi. We decided to live together the following year and from there a great friendship was born. From Columbia, Charlotte and NY/London we've stayed close throughout the years. Some of our best memories were road tripping to Emily’s family lake house where we experienced everything from torrential rain to flat tires. Despite the challenges on the road we always made it to our final destination, Scottsboro Alabama. That lake house ended up being the magical place where Kevin and Emily got engaged. They didn’t know it at the time of the first trip but I'm glad I got to be with Kevin during that original journey there. Song I can't wait to hear on the dance floor: You’ll Never Walk Alone Dropkick Murphys
Alli Cromartie
Bride's Party & Groom's older sibling
I am Kevin's eldest sibling but Emily's "won me over and is my sister now too!" Song I can't wait to hear on the dance floor: Outkast by Hey Ya
Zach Winch
Groom's Party
I met Kevin during the fall of 2015 at the University of South Carolina. We were both part of the same business fraternity and bonded very quickly over our love of Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings. Our friendship continued after college and really grew once he and Emily moved to Boston when Emily was pursuing her master’s degree. We would spend many weekends going to local breweries, grabbing dinners, and exploring the city together. I am honored to be standing up next to Kevin watching him marry his best friend, Emily. Congratulations to the happy couple!
Sara Gattis
Bride's Party
I met Emily at our dance studio where we became loooooonnngggg time family friends!! Basically like the little sister I never had! Song she can't wait to hear on the dancefloor: Anything by Elton John
Justin Neff
Groom's Party
Justin and Kevin have also been friends since high school and stayed close after graduation, keeping especially close when they both lived in Charlotte post-college—Their claim to fame together is sweeping every round of Star Wars bar trivia together along side his now wife Meghan. Justin will be celebrating from afar. The song he’s going to try to force onto the dance floor is probably the Home Depot Beat (much to Emily’s dismay).
Allison Johnson
Bride's Party
I was Emily's first friend! (aka her 6-month older than her cousin who was actually probably her first friend) Song I can't wait to hear on the dance floor: Wake Me Up by Avicii
Jake Nelson

Jake met Kevin Junior year of high school and started a friendship that’s continued for over a decade. Often the glue that keeps their high school friend group close, Jake has hosted many of our memorable get-togethers, from his Weddington neighborhood to his college apartments to his home in Durham. Jake will be celebrating from afar.
Hollan Humphrey Colvin
Bride's Party
When asked as she knows Emily: "Emily and I met in NYC during Summer 2016 (aka the best summer ever) through Emily Ann. After college graduation, we both moved to NYC and over our 5 years there became the best of friends. Time and distance have since separated us, but there’s no better friend than Emily Brown" The song I can't wait to hear on the dance floor: So Close by NOTD (iykyk)
Kelcey McClung
Bride's Party
One of Kevin's best childhood friends, I met Emily when Kevin introduced us after the stars aligned! (what she is leaving out is that this was on HER wedding day) Song I can't wait to hear on the dance floor: Pepas by Farruko
Hayden Lee
Bride's Party
I met Emily through a large web of mutual friends in New York City. Somehow a girl from Alabama and a girl from Oklahoma became best friends through the big city. We have had so many fun memories with so many more to come! The song I can't wait to hear on the dance floor: Dancing Queen by Abba
