Wedding Party
Brittany Wilson
Matron of Honor
I am beyond lucky to have my best friend, Brittany, standing by my side as my Matron of Honor. Our friendship began years ago when we both worked as nurses at the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters. From the very first shift together, we clicked. Whether it was the long hours, the chaotic shifts, or the shared passion for helping our little patients, Brittany was my rock. As time passed, our bond only grew stronger, and we became more like sisters than friends. What I never expected, though, was that our children would grow up to be best friends, too. Watching our little ones form their own unbreakable connection has been one of the most heartwarming parts of our friendship. It feels like it was always meant to be — two families that were intertwined forever! Brittany has been there for me through thick and thin. She has seen some of the darkest times and has never blinked once. She's the person I call for advice, support, and lots of laughter. She’s not just my best friend — she’s my family. I am so grateful to have her beside me on this special day, and I couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her standing by my side.
Mike Barham
Best Man
Mike has been a huge part of Cody’s life for years, both as a friend and a trusted colleague. Their friendship started in the work world, where they quickly bonded over shared projects and mutual respect. Mike owns his own HVAC company, and over the years, he’s been the go-to guy for all the heating and cooling needs at Cody's homes — truly a partnership built on trust, craftsmanship, and a ton of laughs. But their connection goes beyond business. Mike’s wife Aimee was also Cody’s cheerleading coach, and it didn’t take long for the two of them to hit it off and form a bond that’s lasted ever since. From long nights of working together to casual hangouts, Mike has always been there to offer advice, support, and, most importantly, a good time. We’re incredibly lucky to have Mike standing by Cody’s side on this special day, and it’s a true honor to call him not just a friend but a part of our family. His loyalty, humor, and kindness make him the perfect Best Man, and we can’t wait to celebrate with him!
Stephanie Hicks
Bridesmaid
Stephanie has been one of the most influential people in my life, and I am beyond grateful to have her as one of my bridesmaids. We first met when she became my preceptor at the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters, where she taught me how to be an operating room nurse. I was so fortunate to have someone like her guiding me — not just in the OR, but in life. Her patience, wisdom, and sense of humor made those early days unforgettable, and I quickly realized I had found a mentor and a friend in one. Over time, our bond grew deeper. Stephanie didn’t just teach me about nursing; she became my confidante, my go-to for advice, and, most importantly, one of my best friends. And now, it’s amazing to see our friendship continue to grow as both of us have sons who are also friends. It’s like our paths were meant to cross. Stephanie has been there for me through some of the best and hardest moments of my life, and I’m so thankful to have her standing by my side on this special day. She’s one of those friends who makes everything better just by being there, and I feel incredibly lucky to call her one of my very best friends.
Raif Hastings
Groomsman
Raif is not only Cody's brother, but also one of his best friends and adventure partners. From exotic vacations to spontaneous trips, these two have explored the world together, creating memories and stories that’ll last a lifetime. Whether it’s hitting the most happening club in Las Vegas or lounging on a beach in some far-off destination, Raif and Cody share a bond that goes beyond brotherhood — it's a true friendship built on a shared love for adventure and experiencing life to the fullest. Raif’s always been there for his brother, through all the big moments and the quiet ones. He’s a constant source of support, laughs, and a little bit of friendly mischief. It’s an honor to have Raif standing by Cody on his big day — not just as a groomsman, but as a brother who’s been through it all with him.
Alyssa Ellis

Alyssa is not just my sister-in-law, she’s become a true sister and one of my closest friends. From the moment I met her, she was part of the family right away. Our bond has only grown stronger over the years, especially between all of our 4 crazy boys, and I am beyond thrilled to have her standing by my side on such an important day. Alyssa has a way of making everyone around her feel loved and appreciated. Her kindness, laughter, and support mean the world to me, and I feel so lucky to call her family. She’s always been there to celebrate the highs and offer comfort through the lows, and having her as one of my bridesmaids is truly a dream come true. I can't wait to share this special day with her, and I’m so grateful for the incredible sister-in-law and friend she is.

Whether it’s tackling a tough project or lending a helping hand, Nick and Cody have become a great team. Their connection goes beyond friendship — it’s built on respect, loyalty, and a shared passion for putting in the effort to get things right. Nick is the kind of guy who shows up when it counts. His support, humor, and determination make him the perfect groomsman, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have him standing by Cody's side on this special day.
Lauren Wiggin
Bridesmaid
Lauren and I started off as neighbors, but it didn’t take long before we became more like family than just friends. From the very first day, there was an instant connection, and before we knew it, our kids were also friends — making it even more special. We’ve shared countless late nights doing “curb walks” (those walks where you talk about everything and nothing) and many last-minute playdates, always laughing about how we managed to pull them together on a whim. Lauren is the kind of friend who’s always there when you need her, whether it’s for a quick chat or to help keep the kids entertained for a few hours. Her generosity, kindness, and sense of humor make her the perfect bridesmaid, and I am beyond lucky to have her standing by my side on this special day. Our friendship is one of the greatest gifts I could have asked for, and I can’t wait to celebrate with her!
Cory Hastings
Groomsman
Cory has been a constant in Cody’s life, not just as a brother but as one of his friends. From childhood to adulthood, they’ve shared countless memories, inside jokes, and have stood next to one another during some very difficult times. Whether they were teaming up for family projects or just hanging out, Cory has been there for Cody, offering support, advice, and a lot of laughs along the way. Their bond goes beyond just being siblings — it’s built on mutual respect, trust, and a shared love for life’s simple joys. Having Cory as a groomsman is a true honor, and I know Cody is grateful to have him by his side on such an important day.
Jessica Sears
Bridesmaid
Jessica and I have been best friends since high school, and our bond has stayed strong over the years. From playing softball together to navigating life’s biggest milestones, she has always been by my side. Even though we’ve had our share of long-distance separation, our friendship has stood the test of time. No matter the miles between us, we’ve always found ways to stay connected — through late-night conversations, shared memories, and the joy of watching our kids grow up together as friends, just like we did. Jessica is one of the most loyal, loving, and supportive people I know. She’s been there for me through thick and thin, and I’m beyond grateful to have her standing by my side as one of my bridesmaids. Our friendship has truly been one of the greatest gifts of my life, and I can’t wait to celebrate this special day with her.

Stevie and Cody go way back, having first met through mutual friends a long time ago, and their friendship has been a constant over the years. Stevie is the kind of guy you can always count on, no matter the time of day or night. He’s the friend who picks up the phone without hesitation, ready to help out with whatever you need — whether it’s to share advice or to lend a helping hand. Stevie’s loyalty, generosity, and genuine nature make him a truly irreplaceable friend. Having him as a groomsman is an honor, and Cody is lucky to have someone so dependable and supportive by his side on this special day.
