Where You’re From & What You Do: I’m from Clarksville, AR, but I grew up in Scranton, AR. I help out on my family’s cattle and turkey farm, but most of my time is spent as an Elementary Education major at Arkansas Tech University. A Fun Fact About You: When I was a toddler, my parents and I went to a petting zoo. There was this baby tiger; of course, being a toddler, I got a little too close. The tiger decided it wanted to play, and well, let’s say I ended up with a few scratches. So, I like to joke that I’ve officially been "attacked" by a tiger! How We Met/Our Relationship: We met during our sophomore year at Arkansas Tech University, and from then on, we have basically been attached to the hip! We’ve been through so much together, and I’m so grateful for this friendship that keeps growing stronger. Favorite Memory Together:There are so many memories to choose from, but one that always stands out is how we can make each other laugh with just a look or one of our multiple inside jokes. Whether it’s a random moment or something simple, we always find a way to have fun and make even the smallest things feel meaningful. I love how we can bounce off each other’s energy no matter what! What You’re Most Excited About for the Wedding: I’m so excited to see Myia and Landon get married! It feels like we’ve been talking about this day forever, and finally, seeing them get to this point is exciting! It’s going to be such a beautiful day!!!

Where You’re From & What You Do: Greenwood Ar and Software Engineer at JB Hunt A Fun Fact About You: If an activity includes adventure or competition, then I love it. How We Met/Our Relationship: We met sometime in 2nd and 3rd grade through travel ball Favorite Memory Together: A bad storm had come through Greenwood. And I remember the next morning, we got a message from Landon asking us to help move his trampoline back. Well, the group of friends said yeah, sure. But Landon sent a picture of the trampoline. And the trampoline was on top of the house. It was hilarious. We eventually got the trampoline off, and if you know, Landon’s house and all the guys were able to hang out afterward. Landon’s place is where you want to be, so it’s always a good time with the guys. What You’re Most Excited About for the Wedding: I’m excited to see Landon get hitched and start a new chapter in life. He’s a very consistent and genuine person who constantly serves the people he loves. He deserves this, and I’m stoked to see him move into an exciting part of his life. Myia matches Landon perfectly. It’ll be an amazing time to see him enjoy the time with Myia, and I’m blessed to be able to support them however I can at the wedding. That’s what I’m looking forward to.

Where You’re From & What You Do: I was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, though I usually say I’m from Phoenix, Arizona! We lived there for 16 years until our family wanted to move somewhere closer to home, which brought us to Fayetteville in the summer of 2019. I started my career as a Cosmetologist in 2023, graduating from beauty school in 2024. A Fun Fact About You: I had Spinal Fusion Surgery at the age of 16 due to scoliosis and have the coolest scar to show for it! How We Met/Our Relationship: I took Myia as a client for a simple trim! It must’ve been a great haircut since she followed me to my next salon, even though the prices were higher! Myia has been one of the few women I’ve met who’s made growing up feel a little easier. She’s a reminder that having friends is still so important, and it feels like an answered prayer. Favorite Memory Together: Oh my gosh, the first time we put a toner on Myia’s hair. Myia wanted to use this beautiful cherry-cola color. Her hair came out so BEAUTIFUL, so much better than I’d expected, and I just remember the excitement we’d both felt! For her, it was the new look, but for me, it was the relief of: “It worked!” What You’re Most Excited About for the Wedding: I am most excited to meet the family and friends! Being the hair stylist, I’ve heard a few stories so far. I’ll put faces to names, get to meet everyone who cares for Myia, and get to witness a beautiful family!
