Wedding Party
Staci Marie Stewart
Bride
Just your bubbly/funny girl from a snowy place where they eat the BEST PIZZA/chicken wings and scream GO BILLS while jumping tables. She has come along way making friends everywhere she goes and you can't help but LOVE her. She is known to many people with the following nicknames: Assmonkey, Stac, Mooks, Mommy, Stu and now Mrs. Smith!!! 👰♀️
Jonathan Michael Smith
Groom
What can we say besides "He is the REAL deal" this California native moved to the state of best BBQ (I know that can be debated) smoky mountains and sandy beaches of North Carolina. Many call him Jon, Jonny, Jon Jon, Smiff, Daddy and now HUSBAND. In his spare time when he isn't changing a diaper or chasing after toddlers you can see him on his Harley going for a RIIIDE!!!! 🏍️
Tatiana King
Maid of Honor
Big duties for the BEST girl. If you know Staci then you know Tatiana. Those two have grown up together you would imagine them as sisters or even best friends. Yes, occasionally they are known to borrow clothes. hahaha You may know her as Pooks, lovey, Tati or Tot but this girl has wit and class to say the least. She is full of smarts and uniqueness to add the cherry on top to this beautiful family.
Jazmin Emmanuel
Bridesmaid
Highschool friends make the best of friends, don't they? Scaling back to the trenches of Leonardo da Vinci HS, these two gals hit it off right away. Well, maybe not right away. Staci's personality had to grow on Jaz and eventually after many Poptarts, Morning Glory Bagels, laughs and occasional Spanish cheat sheets they grew to be the best of friends. Jaz is known to tell it how it is but also the life of every party. I guess you can say she is the right amount of feist and sweet to keep the party going. These two besties have so much love for one another that it has brought them through their teenage years, motherhood and life.
Kirsten Felsman
Bridesmaid
Who can say they are still friends with their childhood best friend? Staci sure can. And what is so funny is both these girls lived right across the street from one another and refused to be friends at first. haha "Girls will be Girls" as they say. Well after some time and forceful pushing from both their mothers these two ladies would eventually become inseparable. From overnight sleepovers, barbies, choreograph dances to boyfriends/marriage, kids, jobs and bills these two long life friends still kept their sisterhood and friendship intact. Always remembering that no time/distance will ever stop them from loving one another.
Charise Lesane
Bridesmaid
I hear the friend you make as an adult is something magical. If you ever see Charise & Staci together you can definitely count on laughing so hard you are on the floor. Trust me it happens quite often. Charise is the kind of friend that just embraces any shenanigan Staci comes up. Everyone deserves a Bonnie to a Clyde. Charise is fun natured but her personality is soft and spiritual. She is the friend that you need to pull you back to the Bible when you fall off course. She is every bit of AMAZING.
Sophia Smith
Flower Girl
Don’t let this innocent face fool ya! She has sass and spice enough for the whole family. She is known to use her voice to get her way. Trust me you soon shall see. This sweet girl adds an element of spunk and just the right sweet to get EVERYTHING she wants even an extra snack. 😉
Joshua Smith
Ring Bearer
Joshua, Joshi, Fun Bun,…..Jj, this 4 year old is everything fun and exciting. He can hold a conversation about everything solar lights to ceiling fans and anything in between. He is very detailed orient and observant. Trust you will have a laugh or two because you never know what he will say next. 😂
Matt Gillum
Best Man
The man with the game plan. No really, why do you think he's the best man? The best planner ever! ;) This man right here has been Jon's best friend ever since he was in the Navy. To the good ole Smoke Pit days to the Sun Rises on the beach, they have been best buds ever since. No matter if they are a couple feet away or thousands of miles away, they have always made time to visit or catch up with one another. "I don't Dance" will be on the Wedding playlist, just ask these guys about it!
Jonny Brooks
Groomsman
Oh man, what couldn't we say about this guy? Tattoo's, Beer & Motorcycles, that is the life! If you ever needed a laugh, come talk to this man, I promise you won’t be disappointed. Obviously you can see why both Jonny's are friends. To them both being Cancers, birthdays being 4 days apart, Computer Nerds, riding Harleys and just down to have a good time. These guys worked together for 9 years and have been inseparable in every sense. Just ask them about their 3,000 mile rides they do in just a few days multiple times a year.
Michael Allen
Groomsman
Mikeeeyyyyy, the Buy & Seller and Poker player of the group! This guy is always up for a "Good Deal", but be ready to do some serious negotiations. From middle school summer vacations of Halo and Portal on the Xbox to backyard bone fires and BBQs with all the homies. You could always find something going on at this guy's house even if it just meant kickin it. Mikey has been the single source of bringing all the "Garner" boys together. You can't forget about his furry best bud "Baine Thomas" who has always been in the picture!
Travis Bowman
Groomsman
The black hole, nuff said. ;) (You Garner boys know what I'm talking about) From joining the Army right after high school to now being a RN. This guy has a lot to be proud of! You will always find him talking to new people with such an open heart & mind. The many laughs & cruel jokes still continue, do these guys grow up? From the video game days being "Nerds" to the NYC trip or even ECU drama. (Don't wanna go there) there has never been a dull moment. Travis likes to spend his time Fermenting Beer. Yes, you heard that right and spending quality time with his fiancé Haylee. Wedding to follow, Woot Woot!
Will Andrews
Groomsman
William Caesar Sir! (Toad in the road) From his Gun and Military collection, you can find him at the NC Dixie Gun & Knife show every year at his own booth. If you were ever curious about anything "Military Gear" related talk to this guy. From early childhood Skateboarding and Surfing you can now find this guy often at his family beach house with his Wife and Son. With one little guy here and another baby girl on the way, he will definitely have his hands full. From being the smart decision maker of the group and keeping us all Garner boys safe he's still down to get party, don't be fooled!
Eric Cox
Groomsman
Oh, Baby Eric! Not so small anymore Bud. From being the youngest of the group and sticking in there when times were tough you have earned the title of being the real MVP. You could say there was a lot of "Brotherly Love" within the Garner boys group with this guy. From getting into the Flipping game with the boys, to just kickin it he has definitely made a huge imprint. You can find Eric cheering on his football team the "Colts" to watching basketball, spending quality time with his girlfriend Emily or working overtime at LKQ.
Big Daddy Popcorn
Being the BEST CAT EVER!!!
This handsome debonaire golden angel that the Lord has blessed us with named Popcorn is a man of many names. Pop, Big Daddy Pop, Papichulo and Poppy. He has been the "golden" child of the family and everyone just loves him. How can you not as he has the best personality. Who knows he may grace us with his presence if it fits in his busy schedule. 🐈🐾
Penny

A very social and sweet cat to everyone she meets. She is known to destroy toilet paper, plastic bags, cardboard and electrical cords. She can be yours at the price of $0.00. LOL
