Wedding Party
Lauren Kelly
Maid of Honor
Lauren and I became fast friends as the only freshmen on the TCU Rangers, and from that moment on, we've rarely been apart. What started as a shared experience quickly grew into one of the most important friendships in my life. Over the years, we've made countless memories together—from spontaneous last-minute adventures, like trips to a safari park, to spending hours studying side by side at Black Rifle Coffee, somehow managing to balance schoolwork with plenty of laughter. Lauren has been there through every season of life, offering encouragement, honesty, and unwavering support. She's the kind of friend who can make any situation more fun, celebrate every success, and always show up when it matters most. Through college, career changes, and all of life's big moments, she's remained a constant source of friendship and strength. I am so grateful for all of the memories we've shared and even more grateful to have her standing beside me on our wedding day. There truly is no one I'd rather have as my Maid of Honor.
Andrew Villarreal
Best Man
Carter and Andrew met during their sophomore year of high school after Carter transferred to a new school district. What started as a friendship formed in the back of history class quickly grew into a lifelong bond built on shared experiences, inside jokes, and countless unforgettable memories. From navigating the ups and downs of teenage years to celebrating life's biggest milestones, the two have always found a way to make every moment memorable. Whether they're reminiscing about old stories or creating new ones, there's never a dull moment when Carter and Andrew are together.
Faith Glass
Bridesmaid
Faith and I met on my very first day at TCU, and it didn't take long for her to become one of my closest friends. From our time together on the TCU Rangers to navigating life after graduation, she has been a constant source of friendship, support, and laughter. No matter how much life changes, our friendship has remained just as strong. Faith is the person I can always count on for thoughtful advice, honest conversations, and encouragement when I need it most. She's also the first person I call when I need a spontaneous ice cream run, a girls' night, or someone to help me talk through life's big decisions. Her kindness, loyalty, and ability to make any day brighter are just a few of the reasons she means so much to me. I am incredibly thankful for the friendship we've built over the years and for all the memories we've shared along the way. Having Faith stand by my side on our wedding day is such a special gift, and I couldn't imagine celebrating this moment without her.
Carson Denny
Groomsman
Carter and Denny met while working together at Pilot Point Fire Department early in Carter's firefighting career. It didn't take long for the two to become great friends, spending countless hours together on shift and building memories along the way. Whether it was a slow day at the station or responding to a difficult call, Denny always knew how to keep spirits high and bring laughter to the crew. His quick wit, positive attitude, and ability to find humor in almost any situation made even the longest shifts more enjoyable. Through the challenges and rewards of the job, Denny became not only a trusted coworker but also a valued friend, and Carter is proud to have him standing by his side on this special day.
Callie Caldwell
Bridesmaid
Callie and I met in paramedic school, and from the very beginning, our instructors told us that the friendships we made there would last a lifetime. As it turns out, they were absolutely right. What started as surviving long lectures together quickly turned into a friendship built on trust, determination, and plenty of shared laughter. Through endless hours of studying, early mornings, late nights, and what felt like an endless stream of impossible exams, Callie and I leaned on each other every step of the way. No matter how stressful things became—or how many times we jokingly threatened to drop out—we always managed to talk each other through it and keep moving forward. We became each other's voice of reason, reminding one another why we started and helping each other push through the toughest days. Some of my favorite memories from paramedic school include the countless hours we spent studying together, celebrating the small victories, and finding ways to laugh even when we were completely exhausted. I am so grateful for the friendship that grew out of that challenging season of life, and I couldn't be happier to have Callie standing beside me on my wedding day.
Blaine Burr
Groomsman
Blaine and Carter began working together in December of 2025, just before the opening of a new fire station. Since then, they've spent countless hours together as partners on the ambulance, building a strong friendship through long shifts, shared experiences, and plenty of stories along the way. Whether responding to calls or passing the time between them, Blaine is always good for a conversation and a laugh. If you have questions about hunting, fishing, or just about anything related to the history of Ponder, Texas, he's the person to ask. His knowledge, sense of humor, and dependable nature have made him not only a great partner but also a great friend, and Carter is grateful to have him standing by his side on this special day.
