Kristen & Andrew
Wedding Party
Ashley Popovich
Maid of Honor
Some people go their entire lives looking for a best friend---mine was there from day one. Ashley is the older twin by 2 minutes and will forever hold that over my head. We both went to Clemson University and are the biggest Clemson Tiger Football fans! She was the first person I told when I got a tattoo and kept the secret until I graduated from Clemson. She is one of the most creative and passionate people I know and I am so excited she gets to stand next to me on my big day as my maid of honor!
Ashton Worrall
Best Man
The first time I hung out with Ashton outside of school I destroyed my new-to-me Ford Explorer.... We had a snow day and he convinced me to take my bone stock explorer off roading in the empty land next to the airport (which come to find out by some not so nice police men was airport private property...) Since then we have been best friends. Countless projects and countless hours of boating. I am honored to have him as my best man.
Leah Kaisner
Matron of Honor
We met in Central Spirit at Clemson University and became close friends at Clemson FCA Production Team (Go Team Lights)! Leah and I went to an FCA shag together in the same place that Andrew & I got engaged in. Leah is married to Drew and I am the official third wheel of their relationship. Catch us at a LANY or Colony House concert together. So grateful that I get to have my biggest hype girl stand next to me on my big day!
Michael Shepard
Groomsman
Michael AKA "Legless" has been there from the start. Mike worked in the same production crew as me at the Chruch we both attended and later worked at. The first time I moved out of my moms house was moving into Mikes... (Still so sorry for being so messy.) Countless hours of random shenanigans and many more to come!
Lauren Masterson
Bridesmaid
Lauren is my older sister---- I have been looking up to her since the day I was born. I am so grateful I got such a kind hearted and fun sister to look up to my entire life. She married Josh Masterson and has two lovely pups Callie + Pippa!
Brason Stevenson
Groomsman
I met Brason at a concert I was providing lighting for and shortly after showed up at his church to help with production. Since then, Brason has always been there for me. We have spent many nights late at the church working and he never complains. Brason is one of the most giving and dedicated workers I have ever met. Even when I am on tour and haven't seen Brason for weeks or months we still talk regularly and check in on each other.
Rachel Wilson
Bridesmaid
Rachel was the first friend I introduced to Andrew! She and I met through Clemson FCA Production. We bonded over hipster bands and good coffee. Rachel and I both studied Sociology at Clemson and love to reminisce on the terribly long papers we had to write in college. You can catch Rachel staying in my room for extended sleepovers ( YAY ! ) or us at Chipotle. Rachel is the type of friend where you can sit on a couch and talk to her for hours about anything and she will encourage you through it all. I am so honored she would call me a friend but also so honored she would say yes to being a bridesmaid.
Jared Harder
Groomsman
The voice's Jared Hared ladies and gentlemen.... Jared was with me on my first ever full production tour. Let's just say it was a learning experience. We slaved away working 18-20 hour days back to back for 5 months. Once that tour ended we went separate ways but always stayed in contact. Early 2020 brought me working for a country artist full time that needed a backline tech. Jared was my first suggestion. Now we get to work together again and make faces at each other across the stage.
Megan McCain
Bridesmaid
Megan and I have been friends since High School. We met through Seacoast Church and went to Togo, Africa together! Megan and I can be found having a coffee date at one of our many local coffee shops or eating sushi at Locals on Mondays. Megan is the type of friend that always feels close, even when I move away from Charleston. I was a bridesmaid in her wedding and I am so honored that she would stand next to me in mine.
Michael Soto
Groomsman
Michael Soto... The reason I am where I am today! Michael was my idol when I was a little guy in youth group watching Michael do all the production in our little church. I bothered Michael so so much to let me do anything including just wrap cables. Michael was always so nice and mentored me from the start. Once I got a little older we became close friends and to this day bounce audio ideas back and fourth. The dream is to work tougher one day on the same tour!
Kessy Spivey
Bridesmaid
On the first day of my internship at NewSpring I thought Kessy was an intern with me (she wasn't). Our first conversation was us talking about Star Wars and that is really a great foundation for a solid friendship. Kessy and I then started to serve on the NewSpring Powdersville Production Team together and became quick friends. She (and her husband Ben) have been a rock for me over the past year and I am so grateful God placed them in Andrew and I's life. Also if you ever need to know how to make slime, Kessy is your girl to show you. She is basically viral with her how to make slime video. Kessy also makes me cookies basically every time I come over---and they are about as sweet as our friendship is. (WOW. Cheesy? Maybe? I am okay with it).
Christian Herring
Groomsman
Cowboy Christian.. Christian currently lives with me and Ashton in Waxhaw. Christian is like a little brother to me. I have known Christian for 5 years. He used to come to Virginia to visit me and Ashton and take the boat out. The year I have been in Waxhaw has been filled with adventures and memories with Christian.
Kassidy Gomes
Bridesmaid
Kassidy and I met through Clemson FCA! She and I became close friends post college grade life when we both started serving at NewSpring Church Charleston Campus. We would have weekly dates at our favorite downtown coffee shop Kudu and go on adventures together. These adventures include us going to the ACC Championship game together in the pouring rain and us going to Carowinds Amusement park and me smashing my face open. What. A. Time. Kassidy is one of the kindest and most genuine people I know. She is also an extremely talented photographer. I have loved getting to be her biggest supporter and fan as I watch her chase after her photography career. I couldn't imagine getting married and not having her stand by my side!
Wesly Corwin
Groomsman
Wesly and I go way back. Wesly came in when I was leaving the production crew of the Chruch Mike and I worked at. (the circle of life..?) We became friends and realized we have a lot in common. Since then Wesly and I have done many shows together and just recently took a 2 day OBX trip and of course Wesly brought lighting equipment. We started our bonding with out constant midnight IHOP runs!
Megan Brooks
Bridesmaid
Megan and I went to Wando High School together. We were acquaintances until post college when we met at Seacoast Churches Young Professionals Ministry and after a few coffee hangs it was clear we were going to become close friends. God really did place Megan in my life through that hard season and I am so grateful for the support she brought me then and continues to give me now. She is one of the most thoughtful people I know. On the week of her wedding she was texting ME If I needed help with any wedding things. She’s amazing. I am a Bridesmaids in her wedding and I am so excited to have her as a Bridesmaid in my wedding!
Preston Russ
Groomsman
Preston and I also met on instagram... He was an audio person who sometimes posted pictures of trucks so obviously I had to follow him. A year or two later come to find out I would move to the same little town that he was born and raised in. Now we see each other almost everyday and are best buds. In our short time as real life friends we have made some amazing life long memories.
