Maid of Honor
Best Man
Brother of the Groom - “I have never been as excited for anything as I am for Corey and Kalee's marriage. Corey has always been there whenever I have needed anything, and seeing someone who is there for him the way he has been for me is a beautiful thing. Kalee is going to be a perfect addition to our family.”

"Kalee and Corey made wilmington my home, they are the friends I chose as family. I was lucky enough to have met someone who shares my same love for champagne and distaste for running. Someone who was willing to drive five hours for a last minute concert. Someone I consider my best friend and my soul sister. I owe my good taste in music and love for sours to the guy who spent his day off trying to fix my phone screen. My Tuesday trifecta and my downtown amigos. I couldn’t imagine two people better suited for each other. Two beautiful souls. Two amazing friends. And one love that will last a lifetime. I LOVE YOU TINYS"

"Time. It’s all about time. I may not have known Kalee and Corey for a long time, but the times that I’ve spent with them have been the best of times. Ya’ll are my people and quite frankly I effin love you guys. Cheers to a beautiful life and a hopefully happy wife. I’m stoked to have two new partners on this rollercoaster of a life."

"I met Kalee in a honors fraternity in college but it wasn’t until Dr. Webster sirs class that our sunshine friendship began to smile super bright. Countless long nights studying for that class and getting each other through senior semester with pizza galore created a friendship that I couldn’t be more grateful for. Without Kalee and her ginormous heart, I wouldn’t have the friendships and relationship that makes this great family we have all created. As one of the most genuine people I know and I couldn’t imagine a better soulmate for her than Corey. You can tell a lot by how people look at each other, and there’s never been a more radiant gaze than how these two look at each other. I can’t wait to do what we do best and champagne toast to a beautiful journey and a lifetime of love."

"After graduating college a few years ago, I began frequenting Wilmington on weekends to visit newly found friends. Kalee was one of these friends. Not long after that first trip, Corey was introduced into my life. It was a glorious scene. He shuffled into the house, greasy and downtrodden from working all day. I offered him a smoke and entertainment. Little did I know this was the first domino to fall in a trail that would lead to a place beside him as he marries the love of his life. Through late nights and many shenanigans, Corey and I have created what some might call a bromance. But, it's really been amazing to watch the romance that has been built between Corey and Kalee. They're beautiful individuals, and make a magnificent couple. I'm honored to be a part of their special day."

"Corey came into my life when I first moved to Wilmington. The moppy-haired guy who worked on the fry side of the kitchen. Turns out we liked the same sort of free-spirited individuals that ultimately became one of the best group of friends I’ve ever made. And that’s where Kalee came in. The girl he loved from day one. The stars didn’t align for quite some time for the two of them, but I was always rooting for them to be together. Corey is the most genuine, kind-hearted person I know and I’m so happy all those nights talking of the woman that was out of reach has become something he can hold for the rest of his life. Watching him patiently wait for the woman of his dreams has been truly inspiring and goes to show if two people are meant to be together, they will be together. It’s fate.”

"My almost lifelong relationship with Corey blossomed in the first grade. Since that time we have been involved in all sorts of mischief and tomfoolery - from destroying everything Payton owns to committing arson. Some of my favorite memories of us include our many trips to Emerald Isle, skateboarding adventures, those wild nights at nicks, tearing up meadow greens and so on and so on. I wouldn't trade those moments for anything. I have a long list of chaos moments we have been involved in, but I think one of our greatest accomplishments is not only us becoming best friends, but the bond our families have will last forever."

"I met Kalee freshmen year of college when I was dropped into an apartment after the semester had already started. We became quick friends because of our shared love for reading, Taylor Swift, and naps. Kalee immediately became a life long friend as we spent our college years and the years after supporting each other through degrees, jobs, and relationships. When Kalee met Corey, he was an instant friend too, because of their shared interests in music, tv, and scary movies I would never watch with her. Their Love Story has been magical to watch and to witness these two soulmates come together as one. Corey brings light to Kalee’s eyes and laughter to her smile, he is the best guy I could have ever wished for one of my best friends to fall madly in love with."

"I met Kalee freshmen year of college at UNCW in 2012. We instantly became great friends, and that has continued regardless of distance. Kalee has always been down to earth, adventurous, supportive, and my go-to person for advice. When Kalee and I were roommates in 2016, I met Corey. Corey, just like Kalee, was extremely kind, generous, and wore his heart on his sleeve. I knew right away that Corey was a great guy. It wasn’t until fall of 2017 that I realized Corey was something special for Kalee. Corey continued to put Kalee first, made her smile, made her laugh, and made her a priority in his life. I have loved watching my two friends fall more and more in love each day. I cannot wait to stand by Kalee’s side, and be there as Kalee and a Corey start this new chapter in their life."

“I met Corey while I was stationed out in North Carolina and he was one of the few people out there that welcomed me with open arms. During my time there we became great friends. Corey and a few others made North Carolina a home away from home for me and I will always be grateful for that. We would always have guy talk and he would tell me how crazy he was about a girl named Kalee, you could even tell then that she was the girl of his dreams. It's heart warming to know that they are finally getting married. I wish the best for the both of them and may they have an amazing future together!”

"I’ve known Corey since we were wee lads. He’s been a lifelong compadre and we’ve been through so many ups and downs together, living with each other in multiple cities over the years. To be frank, I was quite upset when the proposal didn’t come my way. However in the end I realized there is nobody better than Kalee. As cliche as it sounds, it’s impossible to transcribe into words the relationship they have. It’s something truly special and sublime and I couldn’t be more excited for them to finally tie the knot."
