Matron of Honor
Katie Morrison is Libby's older sister. Katie graduated from the University of Mississippi and she is the reason Libby chose to attend Ole Miss. Libby grew up visiting her older sister while she was in college and has fond memories of going to the Grove to tailgate for football games and to restaurants on the Square. When Libby was in Kindergarten, they had to write on a piece of paper what they wanted to be when they grew up and draw a picture of it. Libby wrote, with the help of the teacher, "an Ole Miss Rebel just like my sister," and had drawn a picture of a cheerleader with a football in the Grove. Even though Katie is older, Libby has been taller than her sister since middle school. This doesn't stop Libby from continually looking up and relying on her older sister to help guide her through this crazy life. Katie has grown up looking after her sister and remembers when she first started walking. Katie is excited to see her sister take this next step in her life.

They love eating Taco Bell like it's going out of style for dinner, lunch, or any occasion.

Darian is one of Libby's college friends. Darian and Libby worked together as waitresses at an Oxford Hibachi restaurant, Kabuki. They loved hanging out together at various pools in Oxford and eating late-night ramen noodles. Darian was actually the main instigator of Jimmy and Libby's relationship. When Jimmy and Libby first met, Libby wasn't looking for a relationship, but Darian knew Jimmy and Libby would be perfect together. She conspired with Jimmy's friends, including her husband Will, to fix them up, and here we are today! We are all thankful for those friends who push us to do things outside of our comfort zones.
Groomsman
Will is one of Jimmy's college friends. They had lots of bonding nights that included playing Fortnite, freestyle rapping, and playing guitar together. These friends loved to scoot, boot, and boogie during their nights out on the town. The Library was their favorite spot to go out before, during, and after any Ole Miss game. You could always find them on the dance floor in the middle bar dancing to the band, or in the patio bar dancing to the DJ's booming playlist. Will is also Darian's husband and was a co-conspirator with Darian to get Jimmy and Libby together. Thankfully, these two have great match-making skills.
Bridesmaid
Amanda is Jimmy's older sister. Amanda used to be so annoyed at Jimmy because he would always hang out with "her friends" when they were growing up. Yet, she has grown to miss every minute with her brother since he left New York. Amanda has the best fashion sense and tries to help stubborn Jimmy step up his style. Amanda also helped Jimmy plan and coordinate his engagement proposal to Libby. She was such a tremendous help and gave him excellent guidance. Amanda and her husband, Tyler, helped create the perfect moment for Jimmy to get down on one knee. They asked if Libby could take a picture of them, and then, in turn, Amanda said let me get a picture of you two together. Then, Amanda took all the beautiful pictures you can see in the gallery of Jimmy proposing to Libby in front of the lighthouse.

In fact, they love being prime-time motivators for a beer funnel challenge! If you ask any of the Bilello family where Jimmy and Tyler are at a family gathering, they will say, "well I just saw them, but now I don't know where they are?" Once found, they most likely will have a cigar or some Fireball in their hands. Tyler also helped plan and coordinate Jimmy's proposal to Libby. When Libby walked into the kitchen before they all left for the restaurant, she almost saw the champagne Tyler had bought, but he quickly hid it so the surprise would not be spoiled.

Chris is known for coordinating game nights and teaching the family how to play them. Chris also helped plan and coordinate Jimmy's proposal to Libby.

Chris, in fact, needed no help with the children and was the best actor at pretending like he did.

She's calm, cool, collected, and just the best.

Chris constantly introduces many new gadgets to Libby and Jimmy, trying to keep them up to date with the times. On his first visit to Oxford, he bought them a firestick for their new smart TV. That tradition continues to this day. If you get a chance, ask Chris what the last gift he bought Libby and Jimmy was as a house warming present.
