Wedding Party
Lauren Bradshaw
Maid of Honor
Lauren and I may have only met one year ago, but we quickly became friends and then roommates. She has been a blessing this past year, and has never ceased to encourage and be supportive of both Kyle and I! Her love for music, life, and Jesus is contagious. Love you girl!
Emily Boone
Bridesmaid
I met Emily when I first got to Pensacola. She is a true southern bell. She opened her heart and home to me and she was the first friend I made here in Pensacola. While Kyle (stationed in Guam at the time) and I were just starting our relationship she encouraged me, and was there for me when the distance seemed too much.
Ashley Heckman
Bridesman
Ashley has been my friend longer than anyone else. We were childhood friends back in Lincoln, where we attended the same church. I'll never forget the trip to Colorado we took when we were both so young. She has been there for me through thick and thin and continues to be there for me, supporting me even though we are separated by a thousand miles.
Alina Wang
Bridesmaid
Alina, was one of my first friends in Guam. Alina and I were deployed on the LHD Bonhomme Richard together. She was my travel buddy, which really meant her planning all these crazy excursions and me following along. It also meant eating delicious food all the time! Now stationed in Virginia, we still stay in contact, but this wedding will be the first time we get to see each other since Guam.
James Obrien
Best Man
The BEST man! There aren't enough words in the dictionary to explain James. He is a Brother, Father and Best friend all in one. He is an amazing father of 2 and an awesome husband. James is the sole reason next to my father why I am playing drums today and why I am as good as I am today. He expected perfection when I played and in life which has helped me every day. If you ever need anything, anywhere, James knows somebody, and exactly what to do. I can't say enough about the man. He has been there for me every step of the way since the day I met him.
Keith Robb
Groomsman
Keith pulls out my countryside. He is a father of 2 awesome boys and a husband to a beautiful wife Nikki. Kieth brought me in and his wife said if I'm the one to make him happy on deployment then I'm good in her book. They have invited me into their awesome lives and never looked back. Talk about southern hospitality. From southern accents to southern music to paying for every drink at the bar in Atsugi to playing Monopoly games every night until I left Guam. Kieth is simply a solid brother and family to me and would take the shirt off his back to help anyone. He lives life to the fullest, loves his family and his toys. Couldn't thank him enough for all the laughs and all the love. A straight killer on the grill!!!
Jerome Roberts
Groomsman
Good ole Sam Owens. Jerome is a father of 1 young boy and an incredible husband. I met Jerome in Guam and had the pleasure of serving with him on deployment. The man has the biggest heart and really pushed me to do amazing things in the Navy. Even when I didn't want to hear it he told me the harsh truth. I NEEDED IT! He helped me amazingly and has always been there for me in the toughest of times. He knows how to push people in the Navy to become great along within the gym. Needless to say, the man has some large hands. if God allows me to play in a popular band Jerome has a job being the bodyguard for the entire band! Cannot say enough about the man, he has always covered my six.
Colin Henry
Groomsman
Colin Henry is another brother I met in Guam. After one conversation with the man we just clicked. He is a hard worker and will do anything to help any person. First, he deployed with Jessica and treated her like a little sister. Always helped her and cared for her as if she was his own blood. We have had some hilarious laughs to the point we are gasping for air. It's always a good time when Colin is around. The guy is old school and smart as can be. I don't know how he does it but his charm seems to get him anything upgraded. From first-class flights to basically owing $100 and only paying $10. He always seems to make time for all of his friends and also has one of the biggest hearts a human can have.
