Kirsten Michelle & Charles Benton
Wedding Party
Blake Crepps
Man of Honor
Kirsten's oldest brother, former Naval personnel, husband to Cayla Crepps, and father to Winter Crepps. If he does not have a baby bottle in his hand, you will find him on the dance floor with a different kind in his hand. Being Kirsten's big brother, it is only right to have him by her side throughout this time of celebration.
Lexi Morris
Bridesmaid
A nurse from Bardstown, Kentucky but with New Jersey blood and the biggest UK sports and white claw enthusiast there is who has been by Kirsten's side since elementary school. From teammates to each other's biggest fan, it only made sense that she would be there on the one of the most important moments of the bride-to-be's life.
Cady Schoeck
Bridesmaid
A recent Lindsey Wilson College graduate and former cross-country and track teammate of Kirsten's, she has been by the future Mrs. McGill's side all throughout college. She is full of jokes and laughter and if she could paint the world the color green she would. You will see nothing but laughs and smiles from her, but watch out she just might racewalk down the aisle.
Annabelle Walker
Bridesmaid
Future nurse, former XC and track teammate of Kirsten's, and dog lover from Louisville, Kentucky. Kirsten and Annabelle literally have ran hundreds of miles together talking about this day but will enjoy the short walk down the aisle the most. All of the miles ran together were worth the 25 feet on the big day.
Kaylee Covey
Bridesmaid
From Irvine, Kentucky, Kaylee and Kirsten bonded over several nights of dedicated to becoming teachers. The collegiate softball pitcher loves every kind of music and making sure Kirsten always has a smile on her face no matter the situation. At the beginning of their friendship, Kaylee said, "People are either lessons or blessin's," and we are definitely blessed to have Kaylee to be a part of this special time.
Alex Duenzl
Bridesmaid
Alex who currently resides in Columbia, Kentucky has been by Kirsten's side from high school all throughout college who also is a fellow teacher. She is a free spirit who always has a smile on her face and dances at random times. We cannot wait to dance the night away this this special person and prepare yourself for her contagious energy.
Claire McLaughlin
Bridesmaid
This collegiate golfer is all the way from Scotland. She loves Star Wars, dogs, and out drinking grown men and frat guys. Claire was a former roommate of Kirsten's and a part of the beginning Benton and Kirsten's relationship. We are blessed to call this brilliant and sarcastic person a dear friend. We could not complete this mission without her.
Barrett McGill
Best Man
Benton's youngest and only brother who is currently a catcher at Midway College. When he's not working at Lowe's, he is on the lake fishing and trying to outdo his big brother, although it has yet to happen. He will be rocking a couple of chains and a cowboy hat, so you will not be able to miss him on the big day. Kirsten is excited to add another brother to her list, and Benton wouldn't want anyone else in charge of the rings...
Nick Parrish
Groomsman
Nick is from Louisville, Kentucky and graduated from Bellarmine University where he played baseball. Baseball has done a lot for Benton but meeting his best friends along the way are definitely one of the best parts. Dubois County Indiana was the first time that Benton and Nick met when they played for the Bombers in the OVL Collegiate summer league. Even though Nick doesn't like Marvel you sure don't want to get into an argument with him about his Dallas Cowboys. Benton is blessed to have met Nick and have him by his side on this very special day.
Alex Franzen
Groomsman
Alex is from Alexandria Kentucky and if he’s not on the golf course you can find him serving the “Lord’s Chicken” at Chick-Fil-A. Alex and Benton became close when they first met around the ping pong table in Massie hall and from the table to the field Alex always pushed Benton to be the best he could. Alex and his wife Kylie will be a great couple for us to look up to as we start our life together.
Jake Hansen
Groomsman
A Western Kentucky University graduate, Jake is from Owensboro Kentucky although that is not where they met. Jake and Benton have travelled many places together and also connected through baseball. Whether it be Panama City or Myrtle Beach, Jake is always in for a good time and will definitely be the life of the party.
Rylan Thomas
Groomsman
If Rylan isn’t in the deer stand with his dad “Hippie” you can find him on the sideline or dugout. Rylan is from Franklin Kentucky and besides Joker Phillips, he’s the only high school quarterback to win a state championship. Rylan played baseball at Kentucky Wesleyan with Benton and was by his side for a majority of their 4 years there. Rylan was there through college, and he will be there when we start our married life together.
Timmy Rogers
Groomsman
Originally from Lawrenceburg Kentucky, Timmy was Benton’s first roommate in college. 3 of the 4 years that Timmy and Benton were in college they lived together. Timmy has been there from the start to the end. Even though he’s a Yankees fan, he will be seen wearing a Marcus Stroman jersey from time to time. He might even have it on for the big day.
Josh Graves
Groomsman
Josh Graves, better known as “Gravy Train”, has known Benton since they could pick up a baseball. Josh’s dad, Terry Graves, was Benton’s coach for their travel team the Bardstown Bats. Josh has recently gotten married to Katelyn Graves, and they have since opened up an ice cream shop in her hometown. They adore each other, and it will be be great to have a them both there on the big day.
Winter Crepps
Flower Girl
Winter Marie Crepps is the daughter of Blake and Cayla Crepps. She loves Disney music, UFC fight nights, and a tall bottle of milk. This little girl was born such a fighter, she even wrestles with an octopus for fun. She definitely has Blake wrapped around her finger and loves to be spoiled by anyone. Get ready to enter the cute zone when she carried down the aisle. She is truly a miracle and Auntie K and Uncle Benton cannot wait!
