T + K
Our Unofficially Official Bridal Party
Jeffrey Welch
Best Man
The title of "Best Man" does not begin to describe the man that Jeffrey Welch is to me. He is my father, my first hunting & fishing buddy, my first baseball coach, and he comes with the best dad jokes around. With a heart of gold, he has put up with my smart mouth all of my life. I'm thankful for all he has done and will do for me and my future family. TIME SERVED: 30 YEARS
Nina Warner
Matron of Honor
My beautiful big sister. So much of who I am today is because I watched Nina do it first. She has always been effortlessly chic, kind, and so damn cool. She has always been the older sister of my dreams. For those reasons and so many more, I've always looked up to her as a role model. A sister/bestie/idol? Get one, but you can't have mine. TIME SERVED: 30 YEARS
Cooper Phillips
Groomsman
Cooper Phillips. Where do I begin? Cooper & I met around a fire pit at the "Green & White House" in Troy, AL during my first year at Troy University. After striking up conversations about hunting, guns, football, and family, I knew I could be friends with this guy, but had no idea he would become the brother I never had. Cooper is sure to be heard not by his speaking voice, but by his contagious laugh that will fill up an entire room. TIME SERVED: 10 YEARS
Layla Schoppman
Matron of Honor
My Babs. My oldest friend. Layla has always known exactly what to say to bring me back down to Earth. Just jarring enough to get me back on track, but soft enough to keep me from crying. Our friendship has always surprised people because we are polar opposites. She’s the keeper of all my deepest, darkest secrets and for good reason. TIME SERVED: 17 YEARS
Josh Phillips
Groomsman
Josh truly has watched me grow up. He has always been a big brother to me & for that I am grateful. Whether it was sports, girls (now no longer plural), family, hunting, fishing, or just life, Josh always had the right thing to say when I needed it most. Sometimes it might've been with a smart mouth, but (mostly) justified. TIME SERVED: 23 YEARS
Karley Flores
Maid of Honor
My life is so much richer with Karley in it. My baby sister's super power is always being able to cheer me up or calm me down, no matter how bad the world is falling down around me. Just having her in the room is enough. She's also wicked smart and has the best sense of humor I've ever come across. TIME SERVED: 26 YEARS
Adam Aceino
Groomsman
Adam is my brother-in-law and the only human on the planet that can set my sister, Morgan Aceino, straight when needed. And for that, I respect him. You can find him in a trout stream, overlanding some massive rock structure that very few would consider tackling, smoking some great BBQ, holding his favorite IPA, and hunting whitetails/turkey/duck. Most recently, you can find him taking my niece (Ava) and my 4-legged niece (Cali) for walks to test out all of the new modifications he's made to Ava's stroller. TIME SERVED: 14 YEARS
Morgan Aceino
Bridesmaid
You're looking at the person who handcrafted Tate Welch's sense of humor. Morgan is probably one of the most interesting people I've ever met. She will talk to you about any and everything and LOVES to teach without making you feel silly. She’s also so good at everything? Literally everything. She hosted a dinner party of 7 three days after giving birth. True story. We need more Morgans in the world and I'm getting one for a sister. TIME SERVED: 4 YEARS
Trae Flores
Groomsman
Trae is my soon to be brother-in-law! I can't thank him enough for accepting me into the tribe back in 2019. I look forward to our journey as bros and I hope he feels the same cause now he's kind of stuck with me. He can thank his sister for saying yes. TIME SERVED: 4 YEARS
Kara Riethmaier
Bridesmaid
If Kara hadn't come into my life when she had I wouldn't have had someone to teach me about brutal honesty. You can trust everything that comes out of her mouth. She's also the best hype woman you could imagine. I'm lucky enough to have been able to call her my sister for the last 18 years. TIME SERVED: 18 YEARS
Benny Seigel
Groomsman
Benny is a guy that the Lord knew I needed in my life. This guy is always down for an adventure, will make anyone laugh, and has the biggest heart. If, for some reason, you can't find Benny, he's probably on a boat in the Gulf of Mexico or off the coast of Ft. Lauderdale, which I have always been jealous about. TIME SERVED: 11 YEARS
Sydney Flores
Bridesmaid
My cousin Sydney is one of the strongest people I know. She constantly tries to see from another person's perspective with no judgement. AND THE SENSE OF HUMOR??? She is the queen of matching energies about anything you bring to her. Wise beyond her years and the most thoughtful person. TIME SERVED: 24 YEARS
Mike Kilpatrick
Groomsman
It was the summer of 2006 when I met Mike and my life forever changed. The hours of Red Dead Redemption, playing basketball in the hottest gym on earth, and eating Abi Welch's famous shrimp scampi... We had some of the best times. I can't thank him enough for being a big part of who I am today. TIME SERVED: 17 years
Nicholle Nizer
Bridesmaid
Nik is the coolest friend I’ve ever had. She sees the world in so much more shape and color than the average person. I always come away from our time together feeling inspired by a new perspective. She taught me that I could make myself into anything I wanted from scratch and start all over again if I wanted. TIME SERVED: 6 YEARS
Kyle Buckner
Groomsman
Buuuuuck!!! The absolute one-liner king. I challenge anyone to out "one-line" Kyle Buckner. I met Buck the exact same night I met Cooper. He is a guy that even a stranger could count on. He is rock solid. TIME SERVED: 10 YEARS
Brianna Halpin
Bridesmaid
Sometimes I think Brianna and I’s parents separated us at birth. I have never met anyone who saw me clearly for who I am so quickly. We are constantly reading each other’s minds and finishing the other’s sentences. It’s weird. It’s humiliating. It’s the best thing on the planet. Everyone should have a B in their corner. TIME SERVED: 6 YEARS
Harold Allred
Groomsman
The entire planet can thank Jesus for Harold & I not growing up together. Lord knows we would have been a handful. Harold has never met a stranger & never will. He is one of the best guys I have ever met. If you're looking for a laugh or someone to share a Johnnie Walker Red with, then look no further. So glad we found each other! TIME SERVED: 5 YEARS
Colleen Gagnon-Beal
Bridesmaid
Colleen is the silliest, kindest, hardest working person I know. She’s the friend you call when you wake up on a Sunday morning and want to go to Trader Joe’s, but not alone. She’s always down for dinner, a class, an adventure, anything you can think of. TIME SERVED: 6 YEARS
Amber Reid
Bridesmaid
Oh boy, Amber Reid did not like me when we first met 5 years ago. As some of you might know about me, that turns making you my friend into a challenge. Look at us now. She’s a bridesmaid in my bridal party. Mission accomplished. She is loving, hilarious, and brutally honest. All of the makings of a very best friend. TIME SERVED: 6 YEARS
Alex Morris
Bridesmaid
Speaking of people who didn’t like me… enter Alexandria Morris. We knew each other in high school and I was way too loud for laid back Alex. Fast forward a couple years, and we were inseparable. We’ve been to countless concerts, music festivals, and eaten an obscene amount of hot wings together. TIME SERVED: 11 YEARS
