Megan Baker
Maid of Honor
Megan and Alyssa met during freshman year in Magnolia Hall at University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Where they lived on the same floor. She was the first person to say yes to hanging out with Alyssa, and from that moment, a lifelong friendship began. From joining the same sorority to becoming my little, they’ve shared so many memories together, and we're so thankful for the friendship they've built over the years
Parker White
Best Man
Jacob and Parker met at a young age, and with the exact same birthday, their friendship started with a pretty special connection. They became especially close in junior high and grew up surrounded by a close-knit group of friends who became like family. Through every stage of life, they’ve always been there for each other, making memories and building a friendship that has stood the test of time. We’re are honored to have him standing beside him on this day.
Lillijan Hunter-Fuqua
Matron of Honor
Lillijan (aka Lil) and Alyssa met through our now husbands, whose friendship brought us together years ago. My fiancé and her husband were part of the same big friend group, and as the first girlfriends in the group, we quickly found friendship in each other. Over the years, she has become so much more than a friend but she’s become family, and I’m so grateful to have her standing by my side on this special day
John Fuqua
Groomsman
Jacob met John back in middle school, and somehow they survived those awkward years together. Their friendship has lasted through school, adulthood, and plenty of unforgettable memories, including being in each other's weddings. Through all of life's changes, their friendship has stayed strong—and now they're not only standing together on our wedding day, but John is also lucky enough to be married to the matron of honor. We couldn't imagine celebrating without them!
Alysa Wilson
Bridesmaid
The bride met Alysa, back in high school, and from the start we shared more than just memories (we even shared the same name). Growing up only a few minutes down the road from each other made our friendship feel even more special, and over the years we’ve shared so many memories and seasons of life together. I’m so grateful for her friendship and so thankful to have her standing by my side on this special day.
Brandon Burden
Groomsman
From middle school video game marathons to weekend hangouts that somehow always end up at his house, these two have built a friendship that's stood the test of time. He's the one who keeps the friend group together, and we're so thankful he's standing beside the groom as we celebrate our next adventure.
Haleigh Candelario
Bridesmaid
Alyssa met Haleigh at work, but she quickly became so much more than a coworker. Through the years, our friendship has grown into family, and I’ve been blessed to play a special role as godmother to her beautiful children. I’m so thankful for her friendship and the bond we share.
Ethan Duprey
Groomsman
Friends since their school days, these two have shared years of laughs, memories, and countless get-togethers with the friend group. He's the kind of friend who's always up for a good time—and thanks to his height, he's also the easiest one to spot in any crowd. We're excited to have him standing by the groom's side on our big day!
Isabella Winegar
Bridesmaid
Isabella and Alyssa started as roommates in college, and before long she became my big in our sorority. I’ll admit, I may have thought she was a little crazy when we first met, but she quickly became someone I couldn’t imagine life without. Through the years, our friendship has been filled with laughter, unforgettable memories, and a bond I’ll always treasure.
Noah Etchison
Groomsman
Who knew one introduction could lead to such a great friendship? Thanks to one of the bride's friends, these two crossed paths and have been causing trouble together ever since (mostly harmless, we think). We're so glad that chance introduction brought another lifelong friend into our lives, and we're excited to have him standing by the groom's side on our big day!
Madison Ward
Bridesmaid
Alyssa met Madison, through the cousin who has always been more like a brother to me, but she quickly became so much more than just his girlfriend. What started as a family connection turned into a friendship of our own, and over the years we’ve grown incredibly close. I’m so thankful for our friendship and grateful to have her by my side on this special day
Walter Byrd
Groomsman
Although we're cousins, we've always been much more like brother and sister. We grew up side by side, sharing countless memories, inside jokes, and adventures that made us inseparable. He's been a constant in my life through every season, and I couldn't imagine celebrating one of the biggest days of my life without him standing beside us. Having him as a groomsman is so special because he's not just family—he's one of my very best friends.
Ashley Taylor
Bridesmaid
Some friendships happen naturally, and that’s exactly what happened with Ashley. We met at work and instantly clicked, and before long she became so much more than a coworker. Somewhere along the way I became her ‘work daughter,’ and I’m so grateful for the friendship, support, and memories we’ve shared.
Nick Rauschert
Ring Bearer
"Well, I was born" -Jacob answering the question of how they met Growing up together, these two cousins have shared a lifetime of memories, family traditions, and plenty of laughs. Their bond has always been special, and no family gathering ever feels complete without him. His kind heart, unique perspective, and unwavering love for his family make him an important part of our lives. We're so honored to have him standing by the groom's side as we celebrate our wedding day.
Jayley Lockwood
Flower Girl
Though there may be ten years between us, Jayley (aka Jay) has always been so much more than just my cousin, she’s been my little sister at heart. It’s been so special watching her grow through the years, and I’m incredibly grateful for the bond and memories we’ve shared together.
Blake Patterson
Usher
Some people play a small part in your love story, but he helped write the very first chapter. We're lucky to have him to thank for setting us up on our first date, and the rest is history. From bringing us together to standing beside the groom on our wedding day, he's been there from the very beginning. We couldn't imagine celebrating this day without him by our side.
