Wedding Party
Sierra Hunter
Bridesmaid
Sierra and Kim shared an office at work, which is where they spent their time bonding over stressful work environments including working with Tyler. Sierra is a constant advisor to Kim when it comes to life, a safe place to have a hard day, and shares an equivalent ten year old boy sense of humor.
Rachel Speed
Maid of Honor
Rachel is Kim's sister, so we had to invite her. Just kidding. While Rachel and Kim are twelve years a part in age, Rachel has always found a way to be there for Kim, in fact Rachel was the first person to know Tyler and I were dating (I didn't even tell her, she figured it out in conversation).
Melissa Lydon
Bridesmaid
Melissa and I have known each other since we were five, but had forgotten we knew one another. When we were 18, we worked at the costco food court together. Melissa went home and told her dad that she had met a new friend, which is where he informed her that she has known me for a long time and our families were friends. While, we have lived in different states for several years now we remain in close contact.
Maggie Jones
Bridesmaid
I feel like I have known Maggie my entire life, but I haven't, she is just that type of girl. The girl who ALWAYS shows up and instantly makes you feel comfortable. You can depend on Maggie for anything, so if you have questions or need help during the weekend, she's your girl. Maggie instantly became a part of our family and we wouldn't have it any other way. GUYS- this is Everett's girl and he will fight you ;)
Everett Garringer
Ring Bearer
This guy is a freeloader, but he's Ty's best friend and the reason for our existence. Everett challenges us on a daily basis and we wouldn't have it any other way. He creates chaos and joy everyday and has made the year of COVID fun. We love him and can't wait to see him in a suit on our big day!
Jon Harrington
Best Man
Jon, aka Butters, has been my oldest and closest friend. Upon meeting in the third grade, we have virtually been inseparable. From playing soccer together as kids to rooming together at VMI, we have done it all. Our humor is unique and our memories are endless. There was no surprise that he was going to be the best man at my wedding, even in elementary school.
Paul Conteh
Groomsman
Paul and I met our rat year of VMI and it was instantly a friendship that was worth keeping. Paul was one of the first guys at VMI that genuinely cared about how I was doing (no surprise, he's a great guy) and we were able to talk to each other about all of our hardships over the first year of VMI. Paul has an infectious personality and is loved by everyone that he meets. He is an amazing person and I am truly honored to call him my friend.
Niles Tate
Groomsman
Niles and I developed a pretty special relationship throughout the years at VMI. When he wasn't studying his butt off in Nichols engineering building (he's a really smart guy), we would hang out for hours either around barracks or watching tv in the room. Almost on a consistent basis, Niles and I would head into Lexington to grab some sushi and sake which, looking back, are some of the best memories that I have of being a cadet. Theres a lot to say about this guy's character, but I can tell you that he is one of the most loyal friends you could ever ask for.
Dylan McLaurin
Groomsman
Dylan and I began our friendship back in middle school when I joined his soccer team coached by his dad, Sean (I don't know what it is about me befriending goalkeepers). We kept in contact throughout the years, always checking in on one another to see how each other was doing. During the last few years of college, we really started to get closer until we realized we were talking to each other almost every day. Dylan has always been a very good friend, someone that I can count on and will give you one hundred percent at all times. He's an awesome guy and I am grateful to have him as a friend.
