Wedding Party
Tosha Shatto
Sister of Honor
Though Tosha and Ashley didn’t really grow up together, Tosha has impacted Ashley’s life greatly. Tosha’s love, wisdom, and support has really helped shape Ashley into the woman she is today. Not only Ashley’s sister but her partner in crime, her shoulder to lean on, and her forever friend, Tosha means everything to Ashley and she is so grateful for the special bond they share. Ashley couldn’t imagine celebrating this day with her older sister by her side.
Tavin Bothel
Best Man
Phil met Tavin while they were both auditioning for a college theatre production of “She Kills Monsters”. During a rehearsal, Tavin was playing Mariokart, this then prompted Phil to approach him and of course, assert his dominance. Tavin then became the first real friend that Phil made after moving from Houston to DFW. Several years and Mariokart races later, the two have become best friends. They bonded over their love of video games and started a podcast just to show the world how correct all of their opinions are. It’s amazing how much happier Phil’s life is with Tavin in it.
Brianna Mares
Matron of Honor
Ashley and Bri met in High School through marching band and became best friends very quickly and have since been inseparable. They even worked together for a bit and saw each other basically 24/7. Through laughter and tears, they have shared so many fond memories that will last a lifetime. Bri has been through everything with Ashley and will always stand by her side so of course she will be beside her on Ashley’s special day.
Connor Elliott
Groomsman
Tavin introduced Phil to Connor in 2019, since then he’s been a very close friend to Phil. While Connor hasn’t been in Phil’s life the longest, he’s certainly made a lasting impact in his life. Whether it’s with his often very strange opinions, his delicious cooking, or just being there when Phil needed to talk. Connor is one of the most genuine people in Phil’s life and he’s very lucky to have him.
Allison Palmer
Buddy of Honor
Ashley met Allison on bumble BFF (if it worked to find her fiancé why not a friend?) ever since the first time they talked they had instant connection. Allison invited Ashley to her wedding just a few weeks after they met and they have been friends ever since. Ashley couldn't imagine getting married without her by her side.
Fergus Best
Groomsman
Phil met Fergus through the best man (Tavin). Ever since they’ve been great friends. They bonded over a mutual love of video games and liquor (they were bartenders, not alcoholics) They then further deepened their bond when they unfortunately had the mutual experience of losing a parent. Fergus has been a great listener and companion to Phil for the past 5 years.
