Wedding Party
Emily Noles
Maid of Honor
Emily and I have been friends since our sophomore year of high school. We were also college roommates the first two years and learned more about each other than either was prepared for, but ultimately it's made our friendship stronger. We love our coffee, dawgs football and pop culture. She is always the most bubbly person in the room and when we're together, there is no shortage of laughter. She's my number one girl so naturally i couldn't imagine anyone else by my side.
Dominic Landry
Best Man
Dominic and I met each other in elementary school through a Sunday school class at church. Growing up, we were on the same basketball teams, shared rooms at church camp and frequently played each other in tennis. Some of my favorite memories with him include spring break our senior of high school and a 12 day road trip we took up the east coast after our freshman year of college. I was actually a groomsmen for the first in time in Dom’s wedding in 2016, so I’m glad to have him participate in mine as well.
Lauren Camdzic
Bridesmaid
Lauren- my favorite and only sister. We used to be pretty neutral about each other's existence with such a large age gap, but now you can find us spending almost all Fall Saturdays together as we cheer on the dawgs. She also created the cutest little human on the planet, my fave niece, Annelyse. We constantly rave about UGA, country music and Starbucks' iced chestnut praline latte. She is a gorgeous wife and fierce mom providing a great example for me to follow. I'm so honored to have her as a bridesmaid.
Ben Vasquez
Groomsman
I met Ben at North Metro Church in 2013. He had just moved from North Carolina and we quickly became friends from participating in different church functions. Ben is the best dancer out of everyone in our wedding party, including me. As with everything else though, he is pretty humble about it. My favorite memory with him is a mission trip to Vancouver, Canada. It was incredible to see him still so grounded and faithful to God’s Word even in the different environment, and I’ve looked up to him ever since.
Katarina Obermeyer
Bridesmaid
Me and Katarina have known each other since pre school !! but we didn't become besties until the 4th grade. From then on we've been K&K, double trouble, partners in crime, anything corny you could think of. I took her on just about every spring break and we have a million matching air brush T-shirts courtesy of her brother. We worked together at Six Flags all throughout high school, and remained friends in college despite the long distance from Athens to Statesboro. We are practically family and I'm so excited she gets to be in my wedding and I in hers later this year.
Harrison Busbee
Groomsman
I remember first meeting Harrison in the 5th grade even though I knew of him since the 2nd grade since his aunt was also my teacher. We became closer friends in middle and high school from church and then attending Collins Hill High School together. We both transferred from GCSU after freshman year and ended up at UGA where we lived together for 2 years. Some of my favorite memories with him during that time include driving all night to Mizzou to watch the dawgs beat the tigers and then when we went to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for Spring break with our college ministry in 2015.
Merrick Steffes
Bridesmaid
Merrick discipled me throughout college. We met my freshman year through a mission trip to Jamaica. She is unlike any friend I've ever had. She is fun, light, free, wise and unapologetically herself. She has taught me so much about what it looks like to live Kingdom minded and how to love and be loved by the Father. She carried me through the good and bad times of college. I swear I couldn't have done it without her. She is also the reason i can receive love via physical touch despite it being far from my love language bc she never let that stop her. You're welcome, Tyler. If I didn't have my girl Merrick up there with me, her absence would be felt.
Andrew Alden
Groomsman
Andrew and I have known each other since elementary school. We went to the same church and played on the same sports teams growing up. We had a lot of sleepovers, spent many summers at the pool and I lost to him many times playing Madden on Xbox or PlayStation. We stayed close friends after high school and roomed together our freshman year in Napier Hall at GCSU which remains one of my favorite memories with him.
Chelsea Holland
Bridesmaid
I became friends with Chelsea through my sister Lauren. Chelsea let me live with her between leases after my junior year of college and since then she's been my big sister 2.0. I am basically her dog Lola's godmother since i raised her when she was a puppy. Me and Tyler helped her move to Arizona like 5 months after we started dating so we credit our epic roadtrip West to her. She is the life of the party and I'm so thankful she's made the effort to be in my wedding party all the way from Phoenix, Arizona.
Mark Riggins
Groomsman
Mark and I met in the 8th grade at Creekland middle school. We were playing dodgeball in the lower gym and I remember thinking he must be a surfer from California. Shortly after, his family started coming to the same church as mine and we’ve been good friends ever since. Some of my favorite memories with him include celebrating his state championship in soccer, road tripping up the East Coast in 2013, and most recently his bachelor party in Lake Lure, North Carolina in June 2018. It was such a beautiful place that I returned there in July of 2018 to propose to Kerri.
Abby Agee
Bridesmaid
Abby is my future sister in law. Tyler first introduced us at a Taqueria del Sol and I remember being so nervous. She is very kind and has always made me feel comfortable and part of the family. We graduated college the same year and Tyler took us on a trip to Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire and we had the best time. She has been so great and I'm so happy to gain another sister.
Taylor Dodd
Groomsman
Taylor and I go back to 1st grade Sunday school at North Metro. He gets the credit for my taste in country music and I jokingly get the credit for his UGA football fandom. We’ve played on the same baseball teams and gone to Pigeon Forge for spring beak together. Once, we even managed to make some money singing Tim McGraw karaoke while we waited for a table at Outback. A favorite sports memory of mine actually happened with him when we watched UGA storm the field and upset UF during the Tebow era at his house in 2007.
