Hannah & Justin
Wedding Party
Victoria
Matron of Honor
I met Vicky in 2016 at St. Francis. We became super close friends after just one day. We hung out after work every. single. day. When you meet Victoria, you will see why it's so easy to become her friend. She moved away a few years ago, but we still stayed close. We talk on the phone almost every day when I get off work. She came back to Arkansas for a month early 2020 and stayed in my garage that I flipped into a bedroom for her (garage roomies? that's real friendship). I stood by her as she got married and I can't wait for her to stand by me when I get married!
Ashley
Bridesmaid
I first met Ashley in 2016 at St. Francis (you will realize that St. Francis is a huge part of my life) at first, I was SO intimidated by her. I mean LOOK AT HER! She is the best doctor to my fur kids and she's drop dead gorgeous. We started hanging out outside of work because of Victoria. In fact we would show up to her house randomly and break into her backyard while we waited for her to come back home from her runs. After lots of trivia nights, late nights at the clinic removing spleens or socks from dogs, game nights, and being bridesmaids together in Victoria's wedding it was a no brainer that I needed her for my wedding too.
Bryce
Bridesmaid
Before Justin worked at the north branch, Bryce did. I was able to meet her there while I covered their branch one day. The first night we hung out outside of work through a mutual friend, we realized we had SO much in common. We became super close, super fast. For the longest time we would have 3-5 sleepovers each week. I can't tell you how much junk food we went through. If I wasn't hanging out with her back in the day, I was probably sitting at home with Baxter honestly. Bryce eventually took a job that required her to travel and one of the first things I made her promise to me is that she would come back and be in my wedding one day no matter where she ended up. 5 years later, she kept that promise.
Gracie
Bridesmaid
Gracie is like, THE LIFE of the party. She came to St. Francis in 2019 and I remember telling Salena, "we've got to hang out with this girl." So what did we do? We planned a spontaneous out of state trip and she volunteered to drive. Gracie has the most contagious smile and laugh in the room. She is always down for whatever life throws at her. She helped me paint Justin's office when we bought a house, never skips a bachelor or bachelorette night, and makes bears den nights worth the trip. When you get to meet her, be sure and ask her about the night we trimmed her ferret's nails. I am so excited to have Gracie through this process!
Hannah
Bridesmaid
Two Hannah's, say what?! I can't Imagine not having Hannah Banana by my side through this chapter. Fun fact: I'll be standing by her side next Fall for her big day too!! Hannah keeps me sane every Monday - Friday and knows me better than I know myself. She is an amazing friend that is always down for ANYTHING bridal or brunch. I could literally count on her for almost anything! We have gone from placing IV catheters together to wedding planning together, which is a bond that can't be broken if you ask me. I am so excited for her to be with me through this!
Taylor
Bridesmaid
Back in junior high my dad got me a season pass to Magic Springs, we went so frequently I began to make so many friends from Hot Springs that I wanted to move there. Taylor was one of those friends. We kept in touch year after year when we were younger and always made plans to go to Magic Springs at the same time. Once high school rolled around we didn't talk much. It was just a few years ago that we reconnected! I noticed through social media that even as we got older, she did all the things I loved doing. I reached out to her and it was as if we never stopped talking. Soon we were making plans after plans after plans, including her being a bridesmaid!
Tre
Best Man
Tre has been my best friend since High School, and was my roommate for a few years. Tre and I have spent many hours staying up late playing Playstation and hanging out. He is the only person I trust when it comes to comic books, superheroes, and the most random movie information that nobody else would know. He is also the most stubborn person I know. He won't seek medical attention for anything and thinks his body will heal itself by sheer will. Give him a few beers, challenge him to dance, and wait for something on his body to start hurting.
Jesse
Groomsman
My oldest memories with Jesse were going to his dorm for the weekend in Batesville to hangout. When he moved back to Conway is when we really started to get to know each other more. It started with playing basketball weekly, to poker nights, and now we run a business together. Jesse is one of the most loyal people I've ever met and would give you the shirt off his back. He is also the proud father of 3 dogs and 2 cats (and counting).
Brandon
Groomsman
"...and they were roommates" I met Brandon through mutual friends in High School. When I first moved out of the house, Brandon, Tre, and I lived together for a couple of years. Brandon is one of the funniest people I know, he has never met a stranger and can bring life to any situation with a witty joke. He is one of the biggest Razorback fans and never goes anywhere without a cooler and beer.
Colton
Groomsman
I met Colton while I was working at Ace Hardware during college. His brother, Chase, worked with me and Colton would come in frequently to see him. It wasn't long before Colton and I began hanging out regularly and he has become one of my best friends ever since. Colton is my resident beard expert, and is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.
Ean
Groomsman
I first met Ean when hanging out with Austin in their neighborhood. He only lived a few houses down so whenever two of us hung out, the whole street did. Ean quickly became one of my best friends with all of his goofy jokes. Once we were of age to get vehicles and drive, Ean and I would ride to school together almost everyday. After High School, Ean left for the Navy for a bit but we still kept in touch and when he came back we were still friends like nothing had changed. We enjoy going to the gym and hunting together to this day.
Austin
Groomsman
Austin and I met in Middle School where we rode the same shuttle bus from school. We had a mutual friend that lived near him that we would hang out with and that is how we got to know each other more. Austin was the oldest of all the kids and was the first to get a license and a car. We used to ride around all the time doing nothing for hours. Austin moved to Jonesboro for College but even still we remained good friends. Nowadays, Austin lives in Little Rock and we still enjoy doing a lot of the same things, including working out.
Ruxin, Baxter, & Arlo
Ring Bearer
The most important ones yet, our kids! Most people don't know us without them because they are such a big part of our family. So, of course they are part of the wedding! P.S. - we have a cat but she isn't very personal, love you Connie!
Lylynn
Flower Girl
Lylynn Reigh.. the cutest little flower girl you ever did see. If you can't find her during the wedding, chances are she is looking for one of those "dawgs" to pet. Lylynn is our niece and will almost be 3 years old during the wedding. We are hoping she feels up to the task of being the flower girl on the big day, sometimes she can be a bit moody!
