Kendrick & Chelsea
Wedding Party
Jamie Chestnutt
Matron of Honor
My sister! She is a beautiful person inside and out. She completes me. Although we are 13 years apart, you wouldn't even know it! Jamie continues to teach me about life and I admire her so much. She can always talk me down when I may be throwing a tantrum that no one else knows of. She is my big sister and I'm so thankful for her.
Cedrick Adams
Best Man
This is my guy, since the beginning of time. When I think about some of my best times in life, he has been there with me. From our College Suite nights that I just can't explain, to nights sitting and talking about the next chapter where life can take us. I have enjoyed every moment and wouldn't think of anyone else I would want to share this moment with me.
Erica Hogan
Bridesmaid
Erica is Kendrick's cousin. One of the qualities that I love about Kendrick is how close he is with his family. Because of that, his family treats me like family. Our first year dating I was already considered 'Cuz.' Erica and Kendrick have a special relationship, which has grown into my relationship with Erica. I'm thankful to have a family like Kendrick's and thankful for my relationship with Erica! She even helped me straighten out some wedding details because I was a terrible bride planner. (Like, really). I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her and the rest of the family :)
Grant Stepp
Groomsman
First time I met this dude, I thought he was a square. He had his bubble coat and Tim's on. Grant and I worked at WKU in Facilities for about a year before he became bight time one me. Little did I know that 'G' would become one of a corner stones of my village. It can be anything- questions about a job, quick trip to grab a drink, a round of golf, or just kickin' it. But, each time I am with him, I learn something. True definition of a friend and I am glad I can call him my friend!
Christina Smith
Bridesmaid
We were server buddies at Overtime. Most work days were great, some were not, but time together has always been a blast! We've maintained our friendship since I have moved 4 years ago, and that means something! We don't talk everyday or week, but she's a friend I have always counted on to be there and she always has. She's very important to me and I'm so thankful for Overtime bringing us together!
Jermaine Robey
Groomsman
If I ever told anyone about someone who has influenced me since a young age, I definitely talked about this guy. He was "Big Cuz". I was always trying to be around Robey. Anywhere he was at, I was trying to be there, but, obviously, Gayle wasn't going for that. There were conversations and lessons learned with Jermaine that I still remember today. Throughout our time we have had our bumps like any relationship but I do know one thing, cuz always got my back!
Megan Willey
Bridesmaid
She goes by Meg. I don't think I've EVER called her Megan! Believe it or not, thanks to the creation of Facebook and WKU, this friendship was made. Meg is the most loyal friend you will ever meet. She has your back no matter the circumstance! She is hilarious, a good time, and a great listener! Her and I have actually been the only friends that have gotten into petty arguments, which have all been over a boy. Kendrick is actually the only guy Meg has approved of ;)
Jeremy Garrett
Groomsman
Most people know him as "Gutta Cut Me" but not me, he's 'Gutta.' I can remember when we were in HS and our football lockers were right beside each other. He was #67 and I was # 68. He always thought he was stronger and faster than me, but I would always let him win. This guy has turned into someone I confide in when I feel down. He's someone that will have you thinking outside the box and on another level. One of the funniest dudes I know and definitely the definition of family.
Randi Lee Jones
Bridesmaid
We were server buddies at Overtime. Randi is capable of being friends with anyone and majority of the time, she makes a new friend any where she goes. Randi pulled me under her wing and protected me when entering the restaurant world. Randi is the most welcoming human being you'll meet and because of this, she also got really close with my other friends, which is a very special to me! She is truly one of kind and again, so thankful Overtime brought us together. She is also the main person who linked Kendrick and I together! ;)
Cory Clark
Groomsman
Fink Fink, one of the few great things that come from my time at Morehead was the friendship with this guy. It's always a party when we are together. Never have I met someone that is so much alike, we both love our self, must always be right and enjoy having a good time. He's talked me off the ledge a few times, and most of the time, he's just been there for me. Just a good dude!
Katlyn Taliaferro
Bridesmaid
Whose Katlyn? Her name is "Tali" and if you don't know Tali, you should! She is always down for a good time and she is one of the funniest people you'll ever meet. Me and Tali have been friends since middle school. There are so many great memories with Tali that I cherish so deeply and I so badly wish I could go back and relive those with her! Tali is a genuinely caring person. She could probably out drink all of you also! Don't let her tiny self fool you!
Gary Jones
Groomsman
G Jones! Every since him and Cimone began to date, he has been family! He really became fam when he let me and Ced drive his red Honda that we all still love to this day! Gary has always been there for me. Give us some Crown (but no diet coke for him) and we could sit and talk about life all day!
Morgan Tipmore
Bridesmaid
She goes by Moe and only Moe (according to me). We have been friends since we were 3! If you haven't heard that, I'm surprised. We tell EVERYONE! :D Moe has been my first friend and will be my forever friend. We go back to St. Puis Daycare, Bishop Cotton, O'boro Catholic Middle and High School, WKU, and friends there after. We have been through so much over the years and we have always remained close. I am so thankful for her and for the person she is! She makes me laugh. All the time!
Adam Campbell
Groomsman
I always tell Adam I wish I knew him back in his college days; we could have been road dawgs. I met Adam, I think, when I met everyone else on that Christmas many moons ago. He's never treated me any different since the beginning. He, too, is full of wisdom and I will pick his brain about anything. When he can get away from his busy life, it's always a good time with him, whether it's tailgating in Lexington or on someone's golf course!
Hannah Wallace
Bridesmaid
We met in 4th grade when she came to the cool school (Bishop Cotton). We played ball together, shared many nights in her parent's basement doing who knows what, had LOTS and LOTS of adventures together that I can't speak of, and are the only ones who really know what each other are talking about. We understand each other and can read each other's mind like no other! She's always been there for me and I care so much for her!
Trey Johnson
Groomsman
My dawg, Trey! Fam has always taken care of me ever since high school. He always looked out for me in school and we even lived in the dorm for a little bit together. My team (Cowboys) use to kill his Jets back in Little League football days; I know that still eat him up! Each time I see him, it's always love. One thing about Trey, he's always ready to ride!
Kelly Cunningham
Bridesmaid
"Kell Bell", "Kelly-Chong"- Again, thanks to Facebook and WKU, this special friendship was made. Many, many, MANY fun times together. She's one of the funniest people I know. We have shared memories, outfits, and talks. She has always been so loyal and a person I will forever be grateful for! She has a huge heart and she cracks me up. She's an amazing person and I love her so!
Glenn Dalcourt
Groomsman
Since 'knee high to tree high' this been my dude. We have been in the same friend circle as long as I can remember. We have been playing sports together for as long, before he quit playing football because he got trucked (we ain't gonna talk about that). We even played on an All-star basketball team that lost about every game we played (red squad). Now that we are old, we have Facebook memes and are always trying to find the way to get rich.
Tara Arnold
Bridesmaid
This girl- she will drop whatever she is doing to come help if needed. She has bailed many of us out of a situation that could have turned terrible and would drive across the country if you asked her to! WKU, especially dorm Gilbert, brought us together. SO many great times together! She's a very loyal friend and I'm truly thankful for her friendship :)
Haleston Flood, Junior
Groomsman
Big Money Flood, another family member! Some say we should be brothers because we are always together. Every since college suites, when he created alcoholics, we been rocking with each other. Some of my most memorable times have been with Flood. We have traveled, golfed and golfed some more, drank, ate and just lived life! If he has a dollar, I have a dollar. He's a solid dude and I don't know what I'd do without him!
Kristin Mudd
Bridesmaid
We were server buddies at Ovetime. Kristin will make sure you live life to the fullest. She's adventuress, witty, and a great time. She is absolutely hilarious also! She's a friend who you may not talk to for a few months, but when you get together, it's like nothing has ever changed and you're back in time. Friends like this are important and these people are much needed! She inspires me and so thankful she was placed in my life.
Dr. Chris Blakely
Groomsman
'Doc' and I meet a few years ago and he began to pour into my life. Everyone, and I repeat, Everyone needs a Doc Blakely in their life! He's the smartest and most talented person I know! I know he would give me the shirt off his back and no matter where he's at, it's just a phone call away. I will forever be grateful for him and his family. I guess his wife, Camilla, is 'ight too!
