Wedding Party
Diane Taylor
Maid of Honor
I met my Maid of Honor 26 years ago in college and my life hasn't been the same since. What started as friendship quickly turned into a lifelong sisterhood. She is my best friend, my secret keeper, and the person who knows me better than almost anyone else. Feisty, fiercely loyal, and effortlessly funny, she has stood beside me through every season of life, celebrating the highs, steadying me through the lows and always making me laugh along the way. I truly couldn't imagine this day without her by my side
Jennifer Smith
Bridesmaid
My older sister who has always been known as the "good daughter", you know the one who actually followed the rules (or just didn't get caught) and set the bar impossibly high for the rest of us. But beyond that title, she's been my built in best friend and the person I can always count on, no matter what. She somehow manages to put everyone else first (including me, even when I probably didn't deserve it), and does it all with patience and love. I'm so lucky to have her by my side as my bridesmaid, but let's be honest, she's been preparing for this role her entire life.
Missy Leroux
Bridesmaid
My ride or die since high school and my forever partner in fun. She's equal parts dance floor queen and comfy clothes on the couch connoisseur. Whether we're out causing a little chaos, traveling the world or solving all the problems from the sofa, she's always down for a good time. Life's been a lot more fun (and a lot louder) with her in it and I couldn't imagine my day without her by my side.
Stephanie Thompson
Bridesmaid
My friend of 23 years, we met at jail lol. She is caring, compassionate and the most loyal person. She's the kind of friend who will drop everything to be there when you need her, and fight anyone who says otherwise. She loves big, stands up even bigger, and is always ready for a good time. Life is better, stronger and a whole lot more fun with Steph in it, and I'm so grateful she's by my side.
Jim Chapman
Best Man
The Best Man for a reason, more of a brother than a second cousin. We grew up never more than a field or two away from each other on River Road and we've shared and exchanged uncountable jokes, insults and laughs for almost 50 years and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Andrew Shire
Groomsman
What can I say? Another 25 year friend, Mr. Dependable in every way & a consummate family man. Shire still enjoys a drink & a laugh with longtime friends & always makes sure you know he's there for anything when needed (up to, & including "dead body burial")
Mike Cranley
Groomsman
We met in jail and have been friends for over 25 years. We've tipped many drinks, shared many laughs and good times over the years. Cran has a big heart and always wants to make sure everyone is having a good time and a laugh (even if it's at his own expense!)
Adam Manlow
Groomsman
Have always thought of this guy as a little brother. Took him under my wing at work many years ago and it wasn't long until he surpassed me in every way. Wise beyond his years, solid as they come and loyal AF.
