Erin Claire & Kelby Jay
Wedding Party
Jordan Isbell
Maid of Honor
Fun Fact! Jordie agreed to be my maid of honor just hours before she became a bride to be herself! Sorry your double wedding plan didn't work out, Dad... real sorry about that.
Casey Dan Schneemann
Best Man
The man, the myth, the legend. Rumor has it that the vaqueros of northern Mexico can hear this man's yodel anywhere on the rancho. Casey Dan and I have been friends since we first met my freshman year at Tarleton State. We've spent many late nights together sharing stories of life, what's to come, or loudly playing guitar naturally with a cold beer.
Ashley Hodge
Bridesmaid
Oh so thankful the universe matched me with this soul sister of mine so many years ago. A few of our favorites: coffee, candles, Hallie ;)
Jeremy Ratcliffe
Groomsman
Jeremy's Ratcliffe and the dirty furry caterpillar resting atop his upper lip have been there, and done it all with me. Jeremy and I first met my freshman year at Tarleton State. Our friendship grew over the years, but it wasn't until I was initiated into the Purple Poo a year following his own did it really take off. I've had the absolute privilege of not only becoming friends with Jeremy, but his wonderful family too.
Juliann Jaime
Bridesmaid
It's an absolute miracle that Kelby survived the years of us living together in college. Long live Neblett!
Chad Kresta
Groomsman
Big Chad and I first met my freshman year at Tarleton State. I've always admired Chad's way of doing things, and that is to work hard and have fun. I've never known this man to turn down a good time! Chad and I were supposed to graduate around the same time, but when he changed his major another year of classes were tacked on his resumé. While Chad was still taking classes I was searching for a job and working part-time, which allowed for Chad and I hangout a lot. From cooking up something in the kitchen at he and Macy's house to riding pasture late at night calling in coyotes, Chad and I's friendship grew even further.
Kellie Shuck
Bridesmaid
The one who started it all... thanks to this peach I met my husband!!!!
Wesley Bracey
Groomsman
Ole' Wesley and I have been friends since we first met my freshman year at Tarleton State. There, that's the only story I can tell about Wesley because the rest are not appropriate and should never even be spoken of. At first, Wesley was tough guy to read. The kind of guy who upon first impression stood in the back with dark shades on, a beer in his hand and had very little to say. Once Wesley and I clicked and realized that we shared a lot of the same interests it's been like driving down the road at ninety miles an hour and throwing the steering wheel out of the window ever since. A man could not ask for a better friend and i'm truly grateful our paths crossed.
Kelsey Stephenson
Bridesmaid
Thank you for keeping me young because we all know I'm an 80 year old at heart. I'm not a regular big, I'm a cool big!
Colton Watson
Groomsman
Colton and I have been friends since we first met my freshman year at Tarleton State. Being a freshman in college and in a new town surrounded by hundreds of strangers is difficult for most, but not with this man by your side. Colton and I hit it off from the beginning and he more, or less took me in. He showed me the ropes in Stephenville and introduced me to many people who i'm still friends with today. I admire Colton and the man he is. To me he's a testament that no matter what life throws your way, perseverance is key. Through Colton I also met his older, better looking brother Allen who I also still maintain a great friendship with today.
Keyla Gammarano
Bridesmaid
Here's to hoping we grow up to be our mothers xoxox
Alex Pierce
Groomsman
This top cowhand turned banker from Northern Virginia really got lucky when was awarded a rodeo scholarship to Tarleton State so that he could meet me. I remember the very night I first met Alex and thinking to myself, who's this goober? That goober would turn into one of my great friends. Alex and I couldn't be separated. With the same major we shared many of the same classes together and through most of college even lived next door to one another. Life has a funny way of introducing you to complete strangers from thousands of miles away and turning them into life long friends.
Nadia Patterson
Bridesmaid
The one who has made it through every stage of life thus far with me, cheers Nad! We made it!
Kit Henderson
Groomsman
Kit Kip Henderson and I have been friends since our days as Wolverines at Waters Elementary. We remained friends after while also attending the same Junior High and High School. Over the years, Kit has stayed at my house more nights than I can count and I his. He took many vacations with my family and even worked alongside my Pepa and I. We went our separate ways in college, but weekends when we both returned home we picked up right where we left off. I'm very grateful for Kit's friendship and look forward to many years to come.
Joe Don Cavender
Officiant
My uncle Joe Don couldn't be a better fit as Officiant for Erin and I's big day. His academic titles, which include MSN, RN, and CPNP-PC are just the tip of the iceberg. The vast amount of Joe Don's character that few may not know, but soon will is his example of what a Husband should be, a Father, and a kindhearted person. I've always loved the big man, but Erin has also come to share the same love that I have for him. Her and I both could not be more grateful for someone like Joe Don in our lives. Erin and I asked Joe Don with a gift on Christmas to officiate our wedding. At first we weren't sure how he felt, but by the end of the night he had already begun researching how to become ordained and offering to help in any way. We can't wait for our big day and to have Joe Don by our side.
