KristiAnna & Jefferson

Wedding Party

Breanna Baxley

Matron of Honor

Breanna and KristiAnna have been inseparable since age five—basically sharing a brain, a wardrobe, and a lifelong text message thread. They spent nearly every weekend together growing up, to the point where KristiAnna’s dad stopped bothering to check - he’d just yell “Breanna!” into the house whether she was there or not. They learned to drive together (barely), skipped school together (hopefully Mrs. Bree’s students aren’t reading this), and navigated every girlhood phase side by side. KristiAnna was Breanna’s maid of honor in 2020, and now it’s Breanna’s turn to return the favor for her forever best friend.

Jeff Thomas

Best Man

Jeff, JT’s dad and best man—because who better to stand by your side than the guy who gave you your name? A true Southern gentleman, Jeff can build just about anything, fix everything else, and still find time to sip whiskey and shout “Go Dawgs!” (much to JT’s dismay).

Annelise Branham

Bridesmaid

Annelise and KristiAnna have been friends since before they were born—yes, really! Their parents were longtime classmates, so these two were destined to be in each other’s lives. Annelise is the life of every party, brightens every room, and KristiAnna couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her by her side! KA stood by Annelise’s side in 2021 when she married her amazing husband, Tanner - now Annelise will return the favor!

Parker Cannon

Groomsman

Parker is from Waco, Texas, and now lives in Dallas. JT and Parker met as college freshman roommates at LSU, living together 4 years (out of 5 - they took that victory lap together!) in Baton Rouge. They quickly bonded over their classes and being Sigma Chi brothers. They share the same friends and love for the Tigers! Parker was the good influence keeping JT focused on his studies and not partying too hard.

Allison Roberson

Bridesmaid

Allison has been a cherished friend of KristiAnna’s for as long as either of them can remember, even if their friendship got off to a rocky start when Allison (allegedly) refused to share her pink scissors in Sunday School at age four. Thankfully, they moved past it, and Allison has grown into one of the most thoughtful, loyal, and genuinely caring friends anyone could hope for. The big day simply wouldn’t be complete without her! Plus, she is probably the only person who loves the color pink as much as KristiAnna.

Rue Stevens

Groomsman

Rue is from Lake Charles, Louisiana. JT met Rue his freshman year of college as Sigma Chi pledge brothers. They quickly formed a close circle of friends and later became roommates in their college house. If Parker was the good influence, Rue was the life of the party grounding JT and keeping his social life a priority. Rue has become a lifelong friend and hunting buddy. KristiAnna tells Rue he’s in charge of bringing the Louisiana/ Cajun flair to the wedding!

Callie Hall

Bridesmaid

KristiAnna met Callie when they were both flight attendants in New York, sharing a tiny apartment and staying up all night swapping wild passenger stories. A proud Texas girl with blonde curly hair to match KristiAnna’s, Callie quickly became more than a roommate, she became one of KristiAnna’s best friends and favorite travel buddies (including a weeklong adventure to Australia!). Hilarious, loyal, and full of heart, Callie brings the fun wherever she goes, and KristiAnna is so excited to have her by her side on this special day.

Austin Parker

Groomsman

Austin hails from Madison, Mississippi and met JT during their freshman year at LSU when they both rushed Sigma Chi. As two out-of-staters adjusting to Louisiana life, they quickly connected over a shared love of the outdoors—and the occasional escape from campus. Austin has always been the life of the party, keeping everyone entertained and on their toes (in the best way). Now living in Chicago, he’s the kind of friend who stays close no matter the distance. His family has become like a second home to JT, with countless memories made at their house and hunting camp in Mississippi, most involving equal parts laughter, storytelling, and mud.

Kelly Dupree

Bridesmaid

Kelly is KristiAnna’s cousin and one of the kindest, most thoughtful people you’ll ever meet. With the calm, caring heart of a nurse and a talent for offering the most practical, grounded advice, she’s the friend and family member everyone needs in their corner. KristiAnna is so thankful for her steady presence, her sweet spirit, and all the love she brings. KristiAnna is overjoyed to have Kelly by her side, both in the wedding and in life!

Dom Kavanaugh

Groomsman

Dom is a proud Evansville, Illinois native who somehow managed to work at the White House and on a presidential campaign, all before the age of 30. JT and Dom first crossed paths as freshmen at LSU, where they quickly bonded over a shared love of sports, politics, and overly ambitious career goals. These two have been thick as thieves ever since. Given Dom’s résumé, it’s only a matter of time before he ends up in the Oval Office—at which point JT expects full Lincoln Bedroom privileges and an open-door policy on Air Force One.

Mary Margaret Slusher

Bridesmaid

Mary Margaret is KristiAnna’s cousin and the queen of quick wit. She is the one you can’t look at when you’re trying not to laugh. KristiAnna was a bridesmaid in her 2022 wedding to her wonderful husband Alex, and now she’s overjoyed to have her fun, joyful cousin by her side for hers! Not to mention, she gets major brownie points for just recently giving birth to KristiAnna’s newest and cutest baby cousin, Rylee Claire!

Leland Ransom

Groomsman

Leland, JT’s first cousin, grew up in the same Atlanta neighborhood as JT, but their bond has always been more like brothers than cousins. From an early age, they were inseparable: fishing, camping, and generally raising hell around town. Whether it was a backyard adventure or a questionable scheme, if one was involved, the other wasn’t far behind. That childhood camaraderie has only grown stronger over the years, and today, Leland remains both a lifelong friend and family in every sense of the word. (Even though he always loses to JT in poker every year without failure!)

Lauren Myers

Bridesmaid

This wedding wouldn’t be happening without Lauren—JT’s amazing oldest sister and the matchmaker behind it all! When Lauren has a vision, she makes it happen, and JT and KristiAnna will be forever grateful for her spot-on intuition and perfect timing. Lauren, being the oldest of her siblings, already feels like a big sister to KA. From giving life advice to helping plan, she’s always there!

Johnathan Myers

Groomsman

Johnathan married JT’s oldest sister, Lauren, but luckily for everyone, he and JT hit it off right away. Bonding over college football, fishing, traveling, and a shared appreciation for a well-earned drink, they’ve built a friendship that’s as strong as their family ties. From exploring Greece and Italy to watching reality TV during COVID lockdowns in Louisiana, they’ve covered a lot of ground, both geographically and culturally (depending on your definition of culture). As a die-hard Georgia Bulldog, Johnathan keeps the family sports rivalry alive and well, especially during SEC season, but all bets are off when it comes to who’s in charge of the remote.

Sarah Anne Gibson

Bridesmaid

Sarah Anne is JT’s middle sister and truly the ultimate mama. Sweet as can be, full of Southern charm, and always ready with a kind word or a helping hand. She’s a double-named, pink-loving, blonde ray of sunshine, and KristiAnna couldn’t have dreamed up a more perfect sister-in-law if she tried!

Nathan Gibson

Groomsman

Nathan, married to JT’s sister Sarah Anne, is a proud Tennessee Vol from Knoxville who met Sarah Anne through JT’s sister Lauren—who also happened to introduce KristiAnna and JT (we’re all indebted). He and JT quickly bonded over college football, fishing, cigars, country music, gambling, and a love for funny memes. Nathan owns a roofing company and may be JT’s biggest competition for future father-in-law Jim’s affection—especially after he drove to Homerville post-Hurricane Helene to fix Jim’s roof like a hero. As a die-hard Vol, Nathan adds another SEC team to the family rivalry, now featuring Tigers, Bulldogs, and one very loud Volunteer.

Alexis Crumbley

Bridesmaid

Alexis and KristiAnna became friends in high school - Alexis grew up in Pierce County and KristiAnna used to burn up the roads from Homerville to Patterson in her red convertible VW on the weekends to go hang out with Alexis! Nowadays, their favorite topic of conversation is their mutual love for fashion, jewlery, and basically all things sparkly. In the picture, they were in Florida for Alexis’s family vacation that KristiAnna tagged along for, and on the same day of this photo, they watched Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding and dreamed about their own wedding days - so this picture is very fitting to use!

Trey Dickerson

Groomsman

Trey is KristiAnna’s older brother, and one of the first family members JT met on a trip to Homerville—which meant Trey was also one of the first to start assessing whether JT was worthy (jury’s still out). The two hit it off quickly, bonding over their shared sense of humor, love of good food, and most importantly, their ability to laugh at KristiAnna’s famously bossy photo directives at every family gathering. Trey is a nurse by profession and the kind of person you want in your corner—smart, steady, and always the calm in the storm. He’s one of those rare people who seems to know a little bit about everything, which means he’s either secretly reading encyclopedias or preparing to dominate Jeopardy one day. JT is grateful to have Trey as part of the crew—and even more grateful to be on his good side.
