Krista Baldwin
Bridesmaid
Krista and I go way back to Samford University. She was my roommate freshman year and we played basketball together. She has seen me at my highs and at my lows. She has pointed me towards Christ after rehabs, concussions, ankle sprains, and many other things. She has always exemplified how to keep laughter at the forefront of all things. She is a freak athlete, high school basketball coach, the wife of a military man, and so much more. However, the most remarkable think about Krista is her love and selflessness. She is always taking care of the people she loves.
Ellen Paroli
Bridesmaid
Ellen and I played basketball at Sammy U together. She is a teacher, basketball coach, and wife. She is immensely gifted, a regular at orange theory, extremely cerebral, and able to relate to just about anyone. My favorite thing about Ellen is how hard she makes those around her laugh. She has the ability to make you laugh till you cry one minute, and have a genuine conversation the next.

Katherine Massa
Bridesmaid
Katherine and I go way back to our Samford days. She was our manager when I was playing basketball. I remember being shocked by her work ethic and her selflessness.

I am excited to call her family!
Anna Mae and Collyn Dorizas
Junior Bridesmaids
Anna Mae is one of a kind. She is witty, artistic, has a hidden singing talent, and is an unbelievable baker. She is a no-nonsense gal, but simultaneously quick with a joke. Couldn't be more grateful to have her as a friend. Collyn, AKA Colly, is the most upbeat, outgoing, and complimentary kid on the block. She is childlike at heart and unashamedly herself. Whether it's spiritual, silly jokes, or how to bake/cook something, she and her older sister are always teaching me something! So thankful to call her a friend.
