Wedding Party
Jenny Gallagher
Best Woman
Seth's Best Friend! Jenny helped Seth through grad school at UNC-Charlotte or was it the other way around? Jenny is an Economic wizard but do not ask her about econometrics. They met very early during their time at UNC-Charlotte and became best friends overnight. Jenny likes to point out she was the first one Seth told that he was gay, lol. Seth would not currently be where he is today without Jenny, and for that, he owes her everything. Jenny also has the cutest daughter in the world, Fiona! Seth hopes Jenny will soon move to D.C. as she works on her PhD in Economics.
Katherine Gray
Best Woman
Kat is Joshua's very best friend and they met in 2003 while bonding over choreography involving teddy bears. Some of their greatest memories have been their mutual love of candles and all of the candle party's they have hosted together. Double wick much? While she is not making fun of Josh for not eating his vegetables, they love to adventure together and have traversed from one coast of the country to the other several times. She shares in his obsession with Applebee's but more importantly, she has the best shoulder to cry on and the most encouraging words possible.
Joseph Khalaf
Groomsman
"Great Success" - Borat, Joseph is one of Seth's best friends as Seth Recently Starred as Joseph's Best Man in Joseph and Alison's Wedding. Seth met Joseph during his time as a Kangaroo at Austin College, and Joseph helped Seth get a job as a Tutor at the ASC. Joseph is the smartest actuary Seth knows (Also the only one). Alison is also one of my near and dear friends and Seth can not thank her enough for introducing me to Joseph. Seth is forever in her debt. Let's hope their pants don't end up like Seth's from their wedding... (ripped)
Jason Vickery
Groomsman
Affectionately known as little bro, they have conquered many woods together and built cities inside of woodsheds. He is a hard-working father and husband and Joshua is so proud of him and still apologizes for accidentally hitting him in the head with a baseball bat- so many stitches! Although they are 5 years apart, they have always been close and have supported Joshua's journey of self-discovery from the very beginning. Joshua brought him to a new life in Orlando (you are welcome for Jessica) but has been rescued many times as well from his little brother. They share a love of dogs, campers, chicken tenders and will always be grateful he made him a godfather.
Holden Bell
Groomsman
Seth's Longest friend in the group and they grew up across the street from each other. Seth and Holden grew up together and even roomed together during their first year of college. The dynamic duo you might say, though our grades Freshman year probably did not agree with that. Holden can also make a mean pizza, and Seth could not be prouder of Holden and all that he has done.
Alyssa Vickery
Groomswoman
One of Joshua's favorite humans in the whole world who shares in his love of donuts, WaWa and garage sales. Do you remember the day you brought home the life size teddy bear and the look on your Dad's face? Alyssa escaped with Joshua as a little girl to Disney on his days off and his heart sings every time he hears her words of Uncle Josh. Now they can finally talk about boys and she has always been so very beautiful!
Owen Shirk
Groomsman
Seth met Owen in high school and have been best buds ever since. Owen helped Seth move to Charlotte and drive back multiple times, two of which were 14-hour straight drives, which is not recommended. Owen and Seth have also taken many trips together, one of which was skiing. This involved Seth only skiing on the greens while Owen was ripping the Black Diamonds. Seth was also in Owen and Brooke's Wedding! There is no Owen without Brooke. Seth has known Brooke almost as long as Owen and gave her a Christmas present before Owen did (Secret Santa). She is also a fashion expert if you need any wedding attire ideas!
Brandon Fender
Groomsman
Brandon and Joshua have been friends for many years and have shared joys and tragedies in church and their greatest accomplishments are many choir shows. They can trade memes all day long and the sassier the better and there is no one better to spend the day at Disney with. Brandon inspires Joshua to go to the gym and to never give up. Brandon is one of the most talented, hardworking people Joshua knows and always has his back no matter what- he might have cut a few people.
Joshua Carver
Groomsman
Seth met, well virtually met Joshua during the pandemic and they have been playing games and hanging out ever since. Seth and Josh have probably played more video games together than they care to admit, but no matter the game you can catch Seth putting on his backpack to carry Josh to the W. Josh can also build you a kitchen while also building you a gaming computer. Did Seth mention Josh plays mouse and keyboard? (no aim assist)
Kyle Keene
Groomsman
They were both gay in high school and if only they had been able to tell each other. Imagine how those days would have been different- Joshua sure would have dressed better. Kyle has the most contagious laugh that can drive any sad day away and Joshua has been able to experience that for over 30 years of friendship. They love to trade secrets about fundraising, music and the latest...well...everything. Joshua trusts and respects Kyle completely...especially with his candle orders.
Elizabeth Traylor
Mother of the Groom
Seth's mom and giver of his athletic ability but also his height. Elizabeth has always been Seth's biggest supporter traveling across the country to watch him play baseball or even to different countries for powerlifting. Elizabeth and Heath will be walking Seth down the aisle on his special day!
Linda And Russell Vickery
Parents of the Groom
Bath and body works, hobby lobby and decorating for seasons are just some of the things Linda has instilled in Joshua. Russell has cried every time Joshua sings and he shares in his love of Disney movies. Family vacations, holidays, and Joshua's concerts have always been important and a mark on the calendar of love. When not at Disney, you can find Linda and Russell planning their retirement, next cruise or just doing whatever they can to support and spend time with their boys. Joshua wishes more than anything for years of happiness for Linda and Russell and to get a dog!
Heath Howard
Seth's Brother
Seth's one and only Little Brother. Heath is currently at the University of Arkansas working on his bachelor's degree. During their times as kids, Heath was known for losing Nerf gun wars to Seth. Heath is a loving and caring brother and Seth could not ask for a better person to walk him down the aisle with his mom!
