Heather & Robert
Wedding Party
Megan Crameri
Matron of Honor
Megan and I have been BEST friends for over 15 years! We went to high school together, but were immediately life long friends after graduation. Megan and I have always been the friends who never skip a beat! We have had so many unforgettable memories over the years. From trips in the Mustang blaring Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart' to Country Fair, Cowboys, Blue Lot Opening Days, and her gorgeous wedding to Megan giving birth and making me an aunt to her sweet boy Charlie and 2nd baby boy Jack Henry this year (3/2/2020). Cheers to a lifetime more memories to come! I love you SO SO much! xo
Bob Nichols
Best Man
Better known as "Poppy". I've always wanted my dad to stand by my side when I got married. He is my hero and sets the example of the husband and father that I will strive to be. He has always supported me and was my number one fan. Whether it was timing 40's at night out on the street or driving me out to see Trainer Neal, he was always there for me. I can't wait to celebrate Heather and I's special day with Poppy.
Melissa Laprade
Matron of Honor
Mel... It's actually happening! Melissa and I have been talking about our wedding days for YEARSSSSS! We were instantly connected at the hip almost 14 years ago when I was invited to Melissa's house for a Christmas party, and have been BEST friends ever since! Laughing our way through life over bonfires and beers throughout the years with "my person" has been one of my favorite things EVER! I don't think you can find a funnier pair... or at least we think so! Freedom Park Bubba Sparx, ladel shots, white tights and denim jackets, "casseroles", Jimmy Snacks karaoke... so many more I can't even count! LOVEEEEE you! xo
Andrew Cawood
Groomsman
C-A-Wood! We have been great friends for over 20 years. We officially met when Andrew introduced himself at the region track meet our senior year of high school and he said we were both going to be at The Citadel that next fall. By total chance we ended up in the same company and have been close ever since. You build a special bond with guys when you have to go through that "4th class system" together. I know I can always count on him and my face usually hurts when we hang out because he keeps me laughing. I love that Andrew will be part of our wedding.
Elizabeth Bowman
Bridesmaid
Talk about ride or die! Elizabeth has always had my back... even if she has to correct me when I'm wrong. I think God gives you those friends that shape the way you look at situations in life, and gives you a different perspective... and Elizabeth has alway been that friend for me. Elizabeth and I went to middle school and high school together, and while other groups of friends come and go... I can always depend on Elizabeth. From love advice and deep talks to our favorite new beauty products and MAC lip colors, love you girl! xo
Damon Davoudpour
Groomsman
P, Pedro, Club Hydro. 25+ years of friendship! Many great times playing football together since the 8th grade. Still remember being in the huddle together sophomore year when I broke my finger. We share a passion for "football fashion" "Look good, feel good, feel good, play good!" The only guys that would show up to an adult flag football league early to "spat-up" our cleats so we can look fast for the game. So many great times in Vegas, Nashville, Atlanta, and countless online battles in NCAA '14. No matter where he was in the country we could reconnect and have a blast together. Looking forward to having Damon take part in our special day.
Meredith Lewis
Bridesmaid
Meredith has the biggest heart of gold. She has always been one of the most generous and kind-hearted friends! We met through mutual friends in 2015. Bonding over ALABAMA football--- RTR!--- and trips to Mobile for the "Stripers" ball... ha. Meredith and I always find ourselves laughing and having a blast! Cold morning 5K's, mimosas and organic margaritas, "house" shots, Iron Bowls, Mitchell Tenpenny, making you go with me to meet "El Pres" and NYC are just a few of the best memories and experiences with Mere. xoxo Love you to pieces!
Jay Smith
Groomsman
Jay Bird, Mule. Jay and I met the first day we reported to The Citadel. We ended up being assigned to the same company and we quickly changed the name cards on the doors to make sure we roomed together that first year. We ended up bonding and living together for the next 4 years. So many great times hanging in the barracks, running wild through Charleston and introducing me to The Carolina Cup. After graduation we lived in a pink house, 256 1/2 Rutledge, with Cawood and that summer and fall were some a greatest memories I have from Charleston. There should probably be a movie script written about that pink house. I'm so excited that Jay will be able to share our special day.
Maria Condon
Bridesmaid
Maria Maria! Instant DEGA friends, but most of all girlfriends for LIFE! I met Maria so many years ago at Talladega of all places! Bonding over jello shots... little did I know what a great friend I was gaining! Maria is the boss b*itch I aspire to be! From salsa dancing in Miami and busting our butts trying to snowboard in Breckenridge to the best BRUNCH in Ellijay for my 30th Birthday, Maria and I can have a blast no matter what is happening. So thankful to have Maria in my life! LOVE you Mama! xo
Marc Watson
Groomsman
Marky, Aardvark, Watson. 25+ years of close friendship. We go back to our middle school football days and then rooming together freshman year at "Camp Walton." So many great times riding around town in the jeep, having epic battles against Spain in the World Cup, and summer training with Antonio and the crew. We left for college and still remained close. After graduating we lived together with the Snyder brothers and the cat and then stayed roommates at Ol' Coyte Ct. We still share our passion for college football, world class sprinting, and critiquing everyone's running technique. I can't wait to share our special day with Marc.
Paige Nick
Bridesmaid
Paige was my first friend! As my oldest cousin, I have always looked up to Paige and have tried to emulate how sweet and kind she is to everyone! You can always depend on Paige for anything. With such an infectious laugh, one of our favorite things to do is poke fun and laugh at the women in our family. One of my favorite nights was going out with Paige on my 21st Birthday! What a night! I will always cherish the "built-in" sisters that I have with my cousins! Love you! xo
Ryan Hurley
Groomsman
Champ! 25+ years of friendship! Ryan and I really bonded back in Spanish class in high school. We partnered up for our conversions and would crack ourselves up coming up with material to talk about. Hurley came out for track and we shared the same love for track and Method Man (Release Yo Delf) We had some great times riding around on weekends in the MG and hanging in Ryan's basement. We had many great times in Marietta and later on in Athens. Heather and I still talk about how much fun we had during the rain soaked trip to Athens in 2015(UGA vs. Bama) and hanging with Ryan and Emily in downtown Athens for the night. I'm so happy Ryan will be a part of our wedding.
Meagan Rampley
Bridesmaid
Meagan is my youngest cousin with the biggest personality of us all! We could always bond with each other traveling to cheerleading competitions and our family trips cramming in with all the women in our family! I admire the Godly woman and mother that Meagan has become and made it look so easy with 3 munchkins! As another "built-in" sister, I know I can always count on Meagan for advice and a comforting hug at the end of the day. Love you so much xo
Stephen Olson
Groomsman
Olson. 25+ years we have been friends. First meeting during those great backyard football games in Camden Place and then 4 years of homeroom in high school. "Seated, silent, ready for announcements"-Mrs. Rathjen. I knew I could always count on Olson to be there for a laugh or help me study for history tests. So many great memories from the "Hydration team" at the Olympic trials, observing the ER at Grady, frequent visits to Athens, and some memorable trips to Austin. I'm excited for Stephen to be a part of our special day.
Katie Busby
Bridesmaid
Oh Kady! I was so blessed to become friends with Katie through Melissa... and we have been the Dixie Chicks ever since. Katie is one of the most humble, honest, loyal and loving friends that I have ever had. From her Trash Bash 30th Birthday to "yelling" aka singing in front of her fire place, every hang out and girls night with Katie I find my stomach hurting from laughing all night. Katie has nailed career, motherhood, family, and faith. I hope to do half as good of a job as you! LOVE you! xo
Jay Ingram
Groomsman
Jauron! Jay and I met when we first reported to The Citadel back in the fall of 1997. We were the only two DB's in the freshman football class. Jay and I had each other's back and stuck together throughout that first fall camp and then the next four years. We instantly had a connection through our love of football and track. So many great memories from the glory days: playing in "The Swamp" sophomore year, winning SoCon 4 x 1 title, winning the Penn Relays military 4 x 1, and playing for the man, Coach Jones, all four years. Countless laughs as well related to anything "Coming to America". I'm so happy that Jay will be a part of our wedding.
