J.T. & Una
Wedding Party
Emma Dodds
Matron of Honor
Emma and I have known each other since I was in first grade and she was in third grade. She is truly my big sister! Emma is my role model, and I have always been inspired by her. She is patient, selfless, and so loving. From being her maid of honor on her wedding day two years ago to now, I could not imagine having anyone else by my side!
Autumn Hines
Bridesmaid
Autumn and I have been best friends since Kindergarten! We have been through all the ups and downs of life together, and we even made it through the awkward middle school phase together! Autumn is a rock in my life, and I have always known that I would not be able to experience this special chapter of my life without her!
Carlie Lambert
Bridesmaid
Carlie was JT's childhood friend first, but pretty soon after I met her, I turned her into my best friend, too! We share a love of books, traveling, and scrapbooking, among many other things. I know that I can come to Carlie for anything and everything, and she will always accept me with open arms. I am so grateful to have Carlie in my life!
Noel Clem
Bridesmaid
Noel and I have been best friends since high school, but our paths have been crossing via mutual friends since early elementary school - it was always meant to be! Noel makes me laugh like no other, and she is always ready for an adventure. Noel is such a caring and strong friend, and I am honored to have her as a bridesmaid!
Katie Nipper
Bridesmaid
Katie and I met our first year of college on the third floor of our dorm building. Little did I know that the girl just a few doors down from me would become one of my best friends! Katie and I had the opportunity to live in Washington, D.C. together for a semester, and I could not have imagined sharing this experience with anyone else!
Jayla Johnson
Bridesmaid
Our story is one of my favorites - we were paired together as roommates our first year of college through a random roommate survey, and we have been inseparable ever since! Jayla is my listening ear and my sage advice giver, and she is always ready for late night girl chats. I love Jayla so much, and I know our friendship will last a lifetime!
Rachel Matherly
Bridesmaid
Rachel and I have been best friends since our first year of college, and we were even roommates our senior year of college! Rachel is and always will be my favorite walking partner and late night ice cream run supporter. I love Rachel for her devotion to her friends, for keeping our friend group organized, and for always bringing the fun!
Joséphine and Charlotte
Junior Bridesmaids
Joséphine and Charlotte are my host sisters from France! I am so excited that alongside their parents, they will be joining us in America to celebrate our wedding! I met Joséphine and Charlotte in 2021 when I studied abroad. Not only did I grow in my French language and culture skills, but I gained new family too. They accepted me as one of their own and I truly love them like sisters! Then, when JT came to France to visit me in 2023, they accepted him into the family and we spent the most magical Christmas all together! I love them so much and I am so lucky to have them in my life!
Matt Mills
Best Man
Matt is the brother of the groom and the best man! Being 3 years apart, Matt and JT have always been friends in addition to brothers and have shared many of the same friends. They both share a love of learning, but Matt’s passion for writing, reading, and history make him the right-brain to JT’s left brain.
John Pattison
Groomsman
John and JT met in college when they were randomly paired together as suite-mates freshman year. After that, they continued to live together as roommates for 3/4 years of undergrad. Since then, John has been JT’s closest friend, gym partner, go-to Fortnite duo, and resident jokester.
Braxton Chafin
Groomsman
Braxton and JT met in undergrad at EKU, as they were both in the honors program together and spent all of college living right down the hall from one another. Braxton and JT share a passion for science, and love to play a good round of golf together. Braxton, John, and JT have all been close friends since college and they still share the same sense of humor.
Luka Mijatovic
Groomsman
Luka is Una’s little brother, and he and JT have bonded over their shared interests for all of Una and JT’s relationship. He can tell you any fact about sports that you want to know, and serves as JT’s go-to teacher for everything he doesn’t know about sports. JT and Luka share a love of playing sports, games, movies, and TV shows. He is also the consultant for ensuring that the wedding playlist is perfect!
Reid Varney
Groomsman
Reid has been JT’s brother’s best friend since they were in preschool, so he has known JT for nearly his entire life! He is pretty much a second-unrelated-big brother to JT. Reid has a passion for cinema, and serves as JT’s go-to movie critic. He and JT also share a passion for tennis and video games.
Matt Lambert
Groomsman
Matt has also been longtime friends with JT’s brother, and his family are all very close to JT and his family. JT and his friends have had many a fun night in Matt’s basement playing games, watching movies, and just hanging out. Matt’s wife, Carlie, is also one of Una’s bridesmaids, because Una and JT have become very close friends with Matt and Carlie over the years of their relationship. Matt has always been the chill, quiet, and reliable friend, but you can rest assured that when he does say something, it’s probably going to be hilarious.
