Wedding Party

Jo Broussard

Matron of Honor

Emma and Jo have been friends since their early childhoods. They would often spend long stretches at each other’s houses, becoming inseparable by middle school. They promised each other when they were teenagers that they would be each other’s maid of honor one day, and that promise, and friendship, has followed them into adulthood.

Brendan Holliman

Best Man

Drew and Brendan have known each other since they were in the 5th and 4th grades, respectively. They bonded over their shared small town, and their love of band, and their shared faith. Their friendship persisted into adulthood, which made the decision to make Brendan the best man a no-brainer!

Anna Palmer

Bridesmaid

Anna and Emma were fast friends at their family group, but grew even closer as roommates when they were both interning at the BCM. They bonded over lots of hilarious shared experiences like attempting a 3 mile trek to Walmart during the Snowpocalypse of 2024, a hospital trip for a dislocated shoulder from rough housing, and planning both of their weddings. When thinking about bridesmaids, Anna’s name was one of the first to come to mind!

Levi Hammond

Groomsman

Levi and Drew have been close their whole lives. They grew up only a short drive from each other and spent many Sundays at their Nana’s house, becoming closer to siblings than cousins.

Caytlee Runnels

Bridesmaid

Nathan Brown

Groomsman

Nathan Brown completes the trio with Drew and Brendan! The three of them have been close friends for nearly 10 years! They all grew up together in the same small town, same school, and played in the same band.

Avery Pennington

Bridesmaid

Avery and Emma were part of a larger friend group, but grew closer when it became clear they shared a lot of interests. Avery was the first person that Emma told that she liked Drew, and was actually there at the beginning of Drew and Emma’s relationship, when it was still all giggles and crushes at Panama City Beach on a mission trip. Avery was the one who had to deal with all of Emma’s what ifs and doubts before Drew even asked her out. Who better to walk into this next chapter of their life than the one who was there at the first page?

Brett Birch

Groomsman

Drew and Brett met in UAM’s choir during Brett’s freshman year. Their friendship was built on jokes made during rehearsal, their shared faith, and their seriousness about their music careers. Their antics in choir and at the BCM made them close friends.
