Wedding Party
Ethan Barnes
Groom
The first time I ever met Ethan face to face was at my church in 2015. We remained friends for about a month and a half, but I loved him before we became *official.* Our first date was a picnic in the back of his truck, right before he left for school. We share so many common interests, one of which is fishing. We go on many fishing dates. The first thing about Ethan that caught my eye is his million dollar smile, the second being his beautiful eyes. One of my favorite things about my husband to be is that he can comfortably fit in to any crowd. My favorite place to see him getting involved in is our church. -Caroline
Caroline Lee Pt. 1
Bride
I had seen photos of Caroline on Facebook throughout my high school years as we had mutual friends, and I thought she was gorgeous! However, I never really talked to her until after I graduated, when I commented under her status about school. From there, we started texting more often and started seeing each other whether it be at her church or just random afternoons when I got off work. I found not only did she have physical beauty but her personality was one that was bubbly and could bring a smile to anybody's face. We started dating right before I left for college, and as the old saying goes "Distance makes the heart grow fonder!" I couldn't wait until I got to see her again. One day I finally decided that I no longer wanted to wait to have to see her on weekends or random nights,
Caroline Lee Pt. 2
Bride
I wanted to see her every day for all my life! after my original plans to propose fell through I finally asked her to be mine at the Duck Pond at Virginia Tech, and thankfully she said "yes!" -Ethan
Allison Lee
Maid of Honor
My A-1 since day one (of her life). We've had our ups and downs, mostly downs, until we grew up and realized we were each others build-in best friends! It only made sense for my original best friend to be my maid of honor.
Angela Taylor
Bridesmaid
Angela and I have been inseparable since middle school. She was the Sam to my Carly! (iCarly reference) All through school we roamed the halls together and constantly laughed at each other for no apparent reason.
Hailie Gerhardt
Bridesmaid
Ah my sweet Hailie. You are the ONLY reason I didn't pull all my hair out during our CNA class and state board. You are what I have always called my "nursing best friend."
Linette Alvis
Bridesmaid
Linette and I became friends when she and Taylor moved next door. Over time, Ethan and I became very good friends with Taylor, Linette, and Levi (their fur baby). Linette is my go-to for any medical related questions and sometimes style advice. I'm very thankful for this friend in my life.
Rachael Carter
Bridesmaid
I'm so lucky to have Rachael as my boss, but also as a very close friend. She has brought so many positive things into my life and I always say how blessed I am to have her in my life. She is great support and always been helpful in building my confidence in my career.
Aislyn McGinnis
Bridesmaid
Aislyn is my junior bridesmaid because I have watched her grow up into a beautiful and sweet young lady. I can't wait to see what's coming in her life ahead!
Pearson Doss
Best Man
Pearson is my first cousin and I've known him my whole life. Though we butted heads the first part of my life, we've grown close over the last several years.
Brad Barnes
Groomsman
Brad is my dad. He and I spent many days fixing/working on projects, as well as going on many fishing trips together.
Evan Barnes
Groomsman
Evan is my only brother. He may get on my everlasting nerve, but I'm thankful to call him my brother.
Maverick Brooks
Groomsman
Mav is a good friend of mine since our days in high school. We played on the football offensive line together and even got through college together.
Brandon Harris
Groomsman
Brandon and I met my freshman year of college as we were on the same hall. We became really good friends throughout college and shared many great moments together.
Addison Doss
Groomsman
Addison is one of my little cousins. He continues to impress me with his level of maturity as well as his skills as a basketball player.
