Maid of Honor
Alex is technically Nicole's cousin, but they've always been close like sisters. From when they were young girls pretending to be mermaids in the swimming pool, to choreographing dance routines at every holiday function, you will never stop smiling around them. Nicole has always admired Alex's larger-than-life personality and the way she can light up a room.
Best Man
Cody and Shon first met in 2016 through Shon's now wife, Sam. They have grown close over the years, pushing each other to step outside of their comfort zones. With similar hobbies and interests, these two are a dangerous pair. Shon is loved for his life experiences that give him such real perspective, his contagious "be better" mentality, and the fact that he always has some wild adventure up his sleeve.
Matron of Honor
Gia is Nicole's oldest friend. With nearly opposite personalities, they have always been the perfect balance. If you need a good belly laugh and a tutorial on how NOT to dress your children, please refer to any and all photos of them between 1991 and 2005. Additionally, if you need directions, a ski partner for the slopes, or really anything that requires athleticism and coordination, I strongly encourage you to look for another pair.
Groomsman
Dustin is Cody's step brother with one of the greatest sense of humors in the Padgett family. He is admired for the way he can be the life of the party, yet other times totally content sitting with his fishing pole on the dock at the lake for hours all by himself.
Bridesmaid
Megan is Nicole's very best friend from high school. They met during pre-season for field hockey their freshman year. After two seasons they retired from their athletic careers and found a much more desirable path - managing the Varsity football team! After thirteen years, Megan has been present for nearly all of the big moments in Nicole's life (even the night she met Cody)! Nicole's wedding wouldn't be complete without Megan standing by her side.
Groomsman
Kyle is Cody's step brother and the father of our handsome ring bearer, Kasen. Cody has always admired what a great father and husband Kyle is and the balance of family & fun he has been able to maintain. Cody loves visiting his family in Georgia, especially in the summer, because he knows he will be able to enjoy Lake Jackson and wake surfing with Kyle.
Bridesmaid
Talia is arguably one of the most caring, selfless people Nicole knows. If you can believe it, she actually joined this crazy family by choice! Talia married Nicole's brother, Anthony, and they have two children Dominic, our usher, and Rosalie, our flower girl.
Groomsman
Anthony is Nicole's older brother and father to Dominic and Rosalie. Arguably one of the most well-read people we know, he is up-to-date on everything going on in the news. With that plethora of knowledge, comes Anthony's innate ability to debate ANYTHING - no topic is off limits. When he isn't talking to just about anyone who will listen, he's playing golf, practicing jiu jitsu, welding some piece of metal, or doing card tricks. Definitely a class-act.
Bridesmaid
Haley is Cody's sister and the mother to beautiful baby Jaymes. Despite their six-year age gap and living in different states, they have always had the closest bond. Cody has always valued Haley's opinion and knew Nicole would need her stamp of approval.
Groomsman
Royce is Cody's brother in law and husband to Haley. With all of his experience from his day job as a liquor distributor, if you need any drink suggestions at the wedding, turn to him for advice!
Bridesmaid
Kelly is Nicole's best friend from college who she lived with in Baltimore until they graduated in 2013. When Nicole first told Kelly about Cody, she was SHOCKED. She couldn't believe her best friend had fallen for HER TYPE, the southern-gentleman, country music-loving man who drove a pickup truck. Nicole has never made Kelly more proud.
Usher
Dominic is Nicole's nephew who is just as brilliant as he is handsome. He loves video games, jiu jitsu, and having boys night with his dad - watching movies and challenging each other who can stay up the latest!
Flower Girl
Rosalie is Nicole's niece and the daughter of Anthony and Talia. Don't be fooled by her seemingly shy demeanor - she is sassy, creative, and wise beyond her years. Get her talking and it's guaranteed she will keep you laughing!
Ring Bearer
Noah is the son of Nicole's Matron of Honor, Gia. He has officially entered the "terrible two-s," but is always able to avoid being in trouble long - how, you ask? - THAT CUTE FACE.
Flower Girl
Jaymes is the youngest addition to our family and the daughter of Haley and Royce. She has the biggest cheeks, the brightest smile, and will steal. your. heart!
Ring Bearer
Kasen is Cody's nephew and the son of his groomsman, Kyle. At 4 years old, with a big personality and even bigger heart, Kasen is always ready to play and bring you along to join him. If he reaches out for you at the wedding, make sure to just grab his hand and follow him wherever he leads you.
Officiant
Tim is a close friend of Cody and Nicole. As someone who watched their relationship blossom, not to mention, having a deep faith, he was the person that immediately came to mind when they were looking for the perfect person to marry them.
