Wedding Party

It means the world to have my brother, Ryan, by my side as my best man. He's not just my brother; he's my best friend and the person I've always looked up to. His authentic and thoughtful presence has been a constant source of support, whether he has realized it or not, and he just has a way of making everyone feel seen and valued. Watching him as an incredible husband and father to his two girls has been truly inspiring. I am incredibly fortunate to have a brother, best friend, and role model by my side as my best man.
Stephen Sircy
Groomsman
Stephen, our friendship truly deepened on the trail backpacking, facing a number of challenges whether it was blisters, welts, dehydration or cold exhausted days. Those adventures really showed me your incredible character. You're always positive, endlessly encouraging, and you even pretend to need a break just when I do! Your quiet confidence and humble nature are inspiring, and you have a way of making everyone around you feel confident too. Your deep love for your family and unwavering commitment to your values are something I deeply admire.
Ilex Pounders

Ilex, you've been a loyal friend through and through. Your intentionality in everything you do and your constant consideration for others are truly remarkable. As a risk-taker and entrepreneur, you're a real inspiration. Whether through our weekly basketball games early on—where your rock-solid character always shined, even in competitive moments—or simply making time for a midweek lunch or a football game, you're always there. You're an incredible husband, father, and a truly loyal friend.
Matthew Stevens

Matthew, as my future brother-in-law, I've learned so much about you over the past four years of dating Kayla. It's incredibly clear how much you care for your family; you're a dedicated husband and father who leads his family so well.

You are one of my best friends, constantly encouraging me and Dane and enriching our lives with your presence. I am incredibly grateful to have you stand by my side as my maid of honor.
Stacey Blackmarr

Lauren Brett
Bridesmaid
Lauren, your joy and excitement for life is infectious. I still remember when our friendship began over a decade ago in a little coffee shop in Chattanooga as we bonded over the joys and struggles of ministry. You, my friend, teach me what bravery and perseverance looks like. You serve others with humility and quiet strength, and you live out your faith with joy and courage. I am honored to have you in my life. I am blessed to call you a friend, and I am overjoyed to have you as my bridesmaid.

Baxter Fowler
Ring Bearer
Baxie is the king of snuggles, treats, belly rubs, and adventures. He's the best furry friend anyone could ask for, and while we may not actually trust him with the rings on the big day, there's no way we could say, 'I do' without our favorite pup in the mix.
