Wedding Party
Amanda
Matron of Honor
There is so much to be said about this woman. She is beautiful, kind, smart and the most hilarious human I know. Everything she does is from the heart and done in the most perfect way. From the moment we met in elementary school to the FaceTime chats we have now, her and I have never skipped a beat. Ask me a story about her and I and I guarantee you it will make you laugh until it hurts.
Jim Tidwell
Best Man
The Man, The Myth, The Legend. I would not be where I am today without my dad. From the day I was born, he has guided me through life teaching me love, discipline, patience, hard work, and perseverance. Above all, he has taught me "family first". Not only did he coach me through life, but he also coached me on the baseball field. He will always be my Coach, but more importantly, he is (and has always been) my biggest fan. The pride I have in our relationship is second to none. He's taught me everything I know. My dad is my role model, my idol, my best friend. He is my superhero. He is, and will always be, my Best Man.
Shea
Maid of Honor
Shea is me in a different body that lives across the country. The moment we locked eyes at the hair salon it was beyond love. We literally share a heart for all the same things. Nude lipsticks, fashion, hair, dogs, sports, FAMILY and of course our taste for food. Her and I can be anywhere, from Coachella to a movie night in and its always perfect. Shea would fall a sleep on the phone with me when I was home sick living in Atlanta. She even bathed me, fed me and did my make up when I had a little too much fun the night before. If you get the chance to call her a friend, you won't be disappointed.
Zach
Groomsman
My brother from my Godmother. My Cousin Zach is the older brother I never had. Growing up, our families celebrated every holiday and went on vacation together. Being the younger cousin, he used to wrestle me to the ground and act like he was going to drop a loogie on my face. He taught me how to intimidate opponents in Monopoly. He took me on my first hunting trip in the swamp. He took me to my first bar at FSU when I was fifteen (sorry mom). No matter what was going on, Zach always included me in everything he did. On top of all this, I have the honor of being his son's Godfather. Needless to say, I love this guy.
Victoria
Bridesmaid
FINALLY!! I have a sister that I've always wanted. Tori is Jimmy's baby sister and now one that I call my own. I also get to give my "only child" imaginary friends a break. It really didn't take long for a sister-like bond to form between Tori and I. Besides always having a shopping partner and someone to share beauty secrets with I now have a someone to share that explainable sister/ best friend thing with. She is definitely the perfect person for the job! I couldn't ask for better!
Dale
Groomsman
Dale is my only blind date that ever worked out. In early 2009, we met at Taco Mac to discuss me joining his prestigious baseball team, The Atlanta Giants, a serious bromance was formed, and we've been best friends ever since. Dale is the definition of a quality friend. If I ever need anything, Dale is that friend that drops whatever he's doing and helps me however he can. If you've ever been out in Atlanta in the late 90's to 2016, chances are you've had the honor of being in the presence of spin doctor "Seven" (Dale's DJ Name). If I was a betting man, this retired DJ will be making a comeback very soon!
Leticia Perez
Bridesmaid
They say you’ll never meet “the one” in a bar. Well, with this friendship I proved that stigma wrong. When Leticia appeared on the dance floor, it was like a scene in a movie for me. The spotlight is on her with “time after time” by Cyndi Lauper playing in the background. All else fades away and instantly the two of us are connected. Leticia has been a “day one” friend to me. From our first conversation that night, to the ones we have now, we have always shared a very special bond. Leticia is original, smart and beautiful. She’s one that many couldn’t hold a candle to.
Tyler
Groomsman
I'm thirteen years old on Summer Break. I walk outside of my dad's restaurant, Home Plate Grill, and see this kid driving around his sweet R/C car. Immediately, I think he's the coolest kid I've ever met. I invite him into the restaurant for some spinach dip and a friendship was made. We went to different schools until I transferred high schools my junior year. We ended up being in the same homeroom and picked up right where we left off. Tyler's that friend that drives over an hour at 3am to bring you a spare tire because you're stranded out in the middle of no where on the interstate. I've experienced this first hand. No matter what I'm doing or where I'm at, I can always count on him. We always have an amazing time when we're together. Tyler is no doubt one of my best friends.
Rachel
Bridesmaid
Rachel is an Augustine through and through. I love this one for more than just being My cousin Jeremy's wife. Just her laugh alone warms my heart and between her and I there is never a dual moment. When I first moved to Atlanta her and Jeremy would come stay weekends with me at any time. She always had a way of making me feel at home. Not to mention, she gives the best and tightest hugs.
Matt Stover
Groomsman
Stover is my man! I was in my second year at North Cobb Christian School in 8th Grade. Matt had just transferred into North Cobb Christian that year. We immediately hit it off and became great friends. Only having one hundred people in our grade made it very easy for us to hang out and goof around. Over the next few years, Matt and I became best friends. For our Junior year of High School, we both decided to transfer to public school. Being in the same homeroom and carpooling everyday in Matt's sweet blue BMW, which sounded like a race car because it had a hole in the muffler, it couldn't have worked out better. From sleepovers and pickup basketball games to putting God first in our lives, Matt and I experienced everything together. I love this guy like my brother.
Dustin
Groomsman
90% of my friends are from baseball. 5% of those guys are my closest friends. 1% of those guys are my best friends. Dustin is a one percenter. Meeting on the baseball field five years ago has turned into one of my strongest friendships today. There's never a dull moment between us. Dustin is the funniest guy I know. Our friendship hasn't skipped a beat since he moved to Florida in 2016. If you can't become friends with Dustin, it's not him, it's you.
Jacob Fabry
Groomsman
I had several teammates through college. Not only was Fabry one of my teammates, but he was also my "up for anything college roommate." From riding our mopeds through campus naked, to intense games of Death Ping Pong, to college baseball road trips, to locker room shenanigans, Fabes and I did absolutely everything together. We know everything about each other and have experienced everything together. Just about every single one of my favorite college memories include Fabry. He has a heart of gold and is one of the funniest guys I know. I absolutely love this guy. He is truly one of my brothers for life. #MidnightRyders4Life
Troy Mendez
Groomsman
Troy and I first met when we played on the same 15 year old travel baseball team in Atlanta. Fast forward three years and we randomly end up playing baseball at the same college. Not only were we college teammates, but we were roommates for three of those amazing years. Don't let the sweet and innocent appearance fool you, T-Roy was our "Instigator and Crazy Columbian Roommate." If anything ridiculous happened in our house, Troy most likely initiated it. He is the only guy I know to ski full speed down a mountain, hit a HUGE jump, and have no thought about his landing. Through the hours of ping pong, bus trips, hotel rooms, locker rooms and more, Troy and I have shared every waking moment with each other for some of the best years of our lives. He is, and will always be, my brother.
Nathan Tidwell
Groomsman
It took me 24 years to find out one of my best friends lived in the same city, played baseball, was the same age, and had the same last name as me. In 2011, I was hired to coach at Dominion High School by Nathan and his father, Mark. Finding out we all had the same last name made it easy to take the job. Little did we know, a great friendship and brotherhood would be formed. For the past eight years, Nate and I have been through several stages of life together. From starting our own companies to getting tossed out of baseball games, no one can grasp the Tidwell walk of life like a Tidwell. Nate is without a doubt one of my best friends and will be for the rest of my life.
