Wedding Party

Danielle Henry

Maid of Honor

I met Danielle when she first moved to Pensacola from Atlanta. Her Dad was a Pastor at the church I was attending, and I remember the weeks before she moved he would always say "You need to be friends with my Daughter" every time I would see him. We instantly clicked over how similar some of our backstory was, and quickly became the friend that each other would confide in. I was honored to stand by her at her wedding, and can't wait for her to stand by me in mine!

Taylor Daniel

Bridesmaid

I don't remember a time where Taylor and I were not friends. We met in Middle School, stayed best friends despite attending different High Schools, and kept in contact through college. During Middle and High School, I practically lived at Taylor's house to the point her Mom just assumed I would be there every day when she got home. From hanging out at the mall and going to late night movie premiers in middle school to now being in the careers we always talked about, and both about to marry the loves of our lives. In the 10+ years I've known her, I always knew I would have her by me on my special day!

Sarah Holt

Bridesmaid

Sarah was one of my "church friends" who quickly became one of my best friends. Sarah has always genuinely cared for those around her and wanting them to become the best version of themselves as possible. Sarah is the blunt friend who will not sugarcoat what she knows you need to hear to make you a better person. If Sarah wouldn't have been that friend for me, I would have gone down a different path during some of my hardest years. I always knew and still know that if I call, Sarah will always pick up. When I told her I was having a destination wedding, without hesitation, she said to just tell her when and where. She has helped me through some of my worst days, and now I get the honor of having her with me on the best day of my life!

Shelby Lane

Bridesmaid

Blaise Lane

Best Man

Eron met Blaise in 2016 on a job in downtown Nashville. Their work relationship blossomed into a comedic best friendship/brotherhood of movie quotes, lots of inside jokes, and a ton of long talks about life. After moving from West, TN this was the first real friend outside of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Eron made. Eron now works for Blaise at High Caliber and is an instructor alongside him teaching classes at APPS. More great things to come from their friendship in the future for middle TN.

Jeremy Akin

Best Man

Eron met Jeremy Akin in 2008 and had an instant connection with him through Jiu Jitsu, dark humor, and the willingness to put others first. This was shown in a lot of ways but the biggest one is giving Eron the opportunity to move to Nashville, stay in his house, and teach at his school making everything else possible. Jeremy is the head instructor and creator of the Profectus brand that our association trains under here in middle TN, and promoted Eron to his Black Belt in August 2021.

Beau Welsh

Groomsman

At the same place in 2016 downtown, Eron had a fantastic manager that turned into a lifelong best friend in Beau. Throughout the years he has always been a great voice of reason as well as someone who will make some fun mistakes with. Not only is he a great magician but he is also a fantastic father who has recently introduced his son to Jiu Jitsu as well as started to train for himself.

James Wesley Redd

Groomsman

The longest and now the most far away best friend is Redd. Eron and Redd’s fathers worked as firefighters together growing up so it was only fitting that their sons became best friends as well! A friendship started by trying to stab each other has turned into a best friendship we would stab somebody else to protect. Co-workers, to housemates, to best friends along with so much more. Many nights drinking grenade shaped energy drinks and losing countless hours playing all types of games together has led to an amazing life. These two would not be who they are today without the heavy influence of one another.
