Wedding Party

Although everyone who is sharing this day with us holds an important place in our heart, here are a few we couldn't say I DO without them standing beside us.

Krista Littleford

Maid of Honor

The yin to my yang, the partner in many of my wild stories, the girl who I hold close to my heart. I remember like it was yesterday, the first time I met her. She rolled into our friend Matts house with her overly large hoop earrings and loud slang having voice. She was the new fling in one of my best friends life, and I just couldn't get myself to like her. Who would've thought that soon she would actually become my best friend, and future wife to my best friend. We've been through so much together. The loss of a great friend, the passing of her two fur babies, biker rallies, beach trips, drunken waffle talks. the list goes on! Although our lives have caused some separation in between, and expected changes have occurred, there is one thing that remains the same. Our bond <3


Erin Robertson

Maid of Honor

Believe it or not, Erin and I actually first became friends back in our teenage days, whose friendship was rekindled due to the friendship of her now husband and my now fiance. Since reconnecting, we haven't left each others side. Praising one another through the good times, and leaning on one another through the tough times. Picking each other up out of bushes on the streets of Nashville, finding lost shoelaces, and just being unapologetically ourselves. Our friendship has become something i deeply cherish. From her genuine soul, and kind heart, there is no way i could say i do without her by my side.

Kaylee Lumpkins

Flower Girl

Since the day she was born i made a promise to give her a life she would be proud of. One she would grow up and use as guidance in her future. Watching the bond she has developed with Justin verifies I have done just that. And although this child of mine is a force to be reckoned with, she holds one of the kindest hearts. Capturing the hearts of anyone she comes across. I absolutely adore that i will be able to share one of the best days of my life with my greatest blessing.


Layla Sams

Flower Girl

"Don't forget for a single minute, you don't grow under my heart but in it." Layla Marie Sams, what a blessing she has been in my life. From her kind soul, big heart, and relationship with Kaylee. She is one of the greatest gifts that has come from meeting her father. I may not have given her life, but she has brought so much life to me. To share this big day with her, and to know I have her blessing, will be something I will always cherish.

Hannah Curtis

Bridesmaid

Oh Hannah Banana. So many words, memories, and scars to describe this one. Growing up we were always one of the closest siblings, even with the horrors we put each other through. From trash can dunking, knife chasing, and blackmailing. Despite our chaotic childhood (God bless our Mother) our relationship has only become stronger, and I have nothing but admiration for the mother and wife she has become. I know it seems as a given to have my sister in my line up, but just know I truly couldn't do this without her by my side. As my wine glass to her stated - I cant marry my mister, without my sister!


Amber Mackey

Bridesmaid

My OG. 13 plus years & counting of endless memories. From our rebellious teenage days, to now watching our daughters create a friendship just like ours. The bond we have, and continue to have is timeless. She's always been there to pick me up when times got hard, and embraced anything that made me happy. It is not to often you find a friendship like this, or a friend like her. Can't wait to say I do with one of my truest friends by my side!

Jessica G

Bridesmaid

My sissy. Although growing up we had the typical big sister little sister relationship, time and age has really brought us together. The connection, and friendship we have now means the world to me. She is always the first one to lend a helping hand, or speak encouraging words at the most perfect time. Plus, we cant forget that she is just about the one to thank for this wedding. Lol So cheers to your HUGE involvement, and Im so happy youll be by my side throughout this entire experience!


Sarah Tackett

Bridesmaid

Our littlest sister, the one who always got the most picked on by us, yet most spoiled by dad....still. I know they always say you look up to your older siblings but I've honestly always been so inspired by her. The way she confidently knows what she wants, and will do what it takes to get it. To have watched her grow up from my little baby sister, to now a beautiful WIFE, still having one of the biggest hearts out there. It was a complete honor to have been by her side when she said "I Do" and means that much & more to have her by mine.

Blair Hayden

Bridesmaid

As in the words of Kaylee, our B. I've been through some hell of times and one common factor was her support throughout it all. Good times or bad, I could never forget all that this girl has not only done for me, but also my child. When you sit back & observe a friend love your child as if it was her own, its a feeling that never leaves you. You hold on to that & cherish it always. & For that & so many more reasons, Im completely happy to have you be a part of one of the best days of my life!


Jessi Pogue

Bridesmaid

My Meatball. My "shes to young for you bro", my Pogue. One of the best things that came from being a part of our Wolfpack was gaining a friend like her. A heart full of love, laughter, and generosity. A friend who will always put others before herself, so unselfishly and unapologetically. So it is to no surprise that I couldnt imagine saying yes without her support on my wedding day!

Taryn Lowry

Bridesmaid

She knows I cant write this little message with out screaming - Its time to TARYN-IT-UP!!!!!!! My favorite redhead, weight lifting, wine sippin, fire cracker. The girl who has changed the absolute least personality wise, and I couldnt adore that any more! 10 years later and she is still the same girl who hates heels, favorite color to wear is anything black, completely loathes dresses, and still supports me in anything that sets my heart on fire! Shes one of a kind & so happy to have her in my life!


Brittany Gough

Bridesmaid

Because of the friendship we have, i will forever be thankful for taking that crap of a job that brought us together. We have been by one anothers side through some of the highest highs and some of the lowest lows, always showing support and love. I know when life gets tough or when great things happen, you will always be there with open arms. You are a rare soul, and for that, i am 1000000% grateful to know youll be standing beside me on the day i marry my Manicorn.

Cody Robertson

Best Man

Growing up Cody was like the little brother I never had being our Mom's were best friends and would hang out all the time. I've watched him grow from the little boy I would dominate in basketball outside the house into the man that makes me take shots from beating me on luke's nerf basketball hoop. Our friendship has went to a whole new level these past few years and I'm proud of the man and husband he has become today. But most of all proud to call him my best friend. I can't wait to have you represent me as my Best Man Bro!!!!


Luke Sams

Daddy’s Best Man

From the first moment I saw my boy I knew we would have a special bond. He isn't only my son but honestly a best friend. From our daily catch with the Football to our constant roasting of each other. We just continue to grow closer to each other. He's the pride of my life and my reason for living. I can't wait to watch him walk down the isle as my co Best Man and support us in our happiest of times. I Love You Lukie Pookie!!!

Rodney Fleegle

Big Rod!!!! First I wanna say sorry for picking on you in pee wee Steelers. If I would of know the brotherhood we would form in the future I swear I wouldn’t have lol Ive always considered you more than a friend and more of a brother. We’ve spent years away with Navy and college yet still always came back like we didn’t miss a beat. That’s the sign of true friendship and something I’ve always cherished from you. I love ya bro and can’t wait to have you stand with me for my special day.


Justyn Lankford

Groomsman

Spank!!!!! What can I say man you’re the longest standing friend I’ve had. We’ve been through it all. From pee wee to dirt bikes and trips to Disney with baseball. Life might keep us from seeing each other as much as we would like but no matter the time or distance we always pick right back up. I’m proud of the man and father you’ve become and glad to not only call you friend but also brother. I wouldn’t want to have my big day without you by my side. Love ya bro
