Wedding Party
Katie Stanton
Maid of Honor
Katie and Linda are lifelong best friends. Linda got the privilege (and stress) of being Katie's maid of honor and now Katie gets to return the favor! Good luck by the way. From college roommates to standing by each other on their wedding days. These are memories that will last a lifetime.
Will Shelton
Best Man
If you know Will and Eric's relationship you may be confused to see him in this role. These two have experienced rivalries in basketball, ping pong, WWE wrestling, and most recently pickleball. Please walk on even ground over the next few months. Eric views Will as the best man for the job.
Ginger Schneider
Bridesmaid
Ginger and Linda are sisters. Some people say that sisters are built-in best friends. Linda WOULD NEVER SAY THAT. Just kidding. That is exactly the relationship these two have. From times spent together in school, at home, and working together, their bond deepened. Now they get to deepen their relationship as they watch the little ball of energy, Rosie, keep all of us on our toes. This day couldn't happen without you Ginger.
Logan Lippincott
Groomsman
Logan and Eric share quite the bromance. It runs so deep that it makes Linda jealous. Who would have ever thought that the Joe's kitchen would bring two people together like it did? Logan has become one of Eric's best friends, pickleball partner, and comedic sidekick. This day would not be possible without him. He may even object.
Caroline Schneider
Bridesmaid
Linda and Caroline are sisters. Instead of a built-in best friend, Caroline is more of a built-in worst enemy. Once again, just kidding. Caroline and Linda share a deep bond and always have. When Linda started looking for a man to love, she sure didn't think she would get the male version of Caroline but that's what happened. And just so we're all abundantly clear here, Caroline did in fact set Eric and Linda up. More than anyone else, this day LITERALLY couldn't have happened without you.
Gabe Golden
Groomsman
Gabe and Eric met in high school during Chemistry, shoutout Mrs. Gilstrap. They bonded over Egg Wars and Doritos with salsa. Those small moments led to a friendship that has lasted for years and now, across state lines. There's nothing like a day on the golf course with these two. There will be some of the worst shots you've ever seen and the most laughs that course has seen. This wedding has to include Gabe.
Anna Talley
Bridesmaid
Anna and Linda have built a friendship over the past few years. It's easy to bond when both of your significant others can't stand to lose and you really don't care about losing. The bond has strengthened through Galentine's parties, church basketball games, and leading the 6th and 7th grade girls in Student Ministry. Linda is so excited to share this day with such a sweet friend.
Jared Talley
Groomsman
Eric and Jared have sparked quite the friendship over the past few years. This friendship has developed into a bit of a mancrush. One that could go both ways? There's nothing like getting these two together. Guaranteed laughs and guaranteed fun. It's a great thing that Eric forgave Jared for never responding about the TPC College Ministry all those years ago. This wedding wouldn't be the same without Jared.
Olivia Chambers
Bridesmaid
Olivia and Linda met during their time at North Greenville. They bonded over their combined confusion of literally any and everything that had to do with assignments. When you spend that much time confused you can't do anything other than laugh, and they did plenty of that! There is one thing that these two both did at North Greenville that will not fly on wedding day. You can't be late! It will be such a fun time sharing this day with you!
Austin Lippincott
Groomsman
Austin and Eric have established themselves as quite the duo. Nobody was safe when these two worked shifts together at Joe's. People don't know but Eric and Austin actually got into a fight one time at TopGolf, one that Eric won ;). There was nothing like those nights in the hot tub or in the battle bus. From Minecraft roommates to sharing each other's wedding days, this day will be better because Austin is in it.
Danee Thomas
Bridesmaid
Danee and Linda have been friends since elementary school. This is a friendship that has not only lasted across state lines, but also different countries. That's a bond that can't be broken. Linda had the privilege to stand beside Danee on her wedding day and couldn't imagine having her wedding without Danee involved. Danee, this wedding will be better because of your fun and loving personality!
Tyler Catoe
Groomsman
Tyler and Eric began their relationship years ago on the gridiron. There was no fear like facing the Catoe boys in flag football. Years after high school, they reconnected over a shared love of RVs. Now their friendship strengthens on the Rebounce board, with Drumsticks, and screaming Hey Ma! to anyone that'll listen. It's going to be a true blessing to share this day with Tyler.
Jase Hall
Usher
Jase is such a blessing. He's a great kickball player, an encourager, and loves when Linda brings him a Bojangles biscuit. We hope he can thrive as he helps others find their seat. Jase, we love you and are looking forward to watching Bugsy work!
Carter Creel
Usher
Carter is such a blessing. It really is going to be the coolest thing ever having a celebrity helping people find their seat. It's not everyday you get Russell from Up to participate in your wedding. Carter, we love you and feel free to ask us as many questions as you need.
Hudson Parker
Usher
Hudson is such a blessing. He is funny and wise beyond his years. He's a very atheltic kid, but goodness you stink at ping pong. Hudson, we love you and really hope to hear some super funny sleepwalking stories soon!
Ryan Hall
Usher
Ryan is such a blessing. Ryan it has been one of the many blessings of Eric's life to be your teammate in pool basketball every summer. I'm very sorry that I ran away from you when I saw that snake by the pond, I really hope you have forgiven me. Ryan, we love you and that jumper from the pool stairs is fire.
Rosie Schneider
Flower Girl
Rosie is Linda's niece. Linda has been there to see Rosie grow into the fun and crazy kid that she is. There is a great chance she says Eric's name more than anyone, but we don't know if she'll like him. The times when Eric and Rosie talk on the car rides to community group is like watching a couple two-year-olds hang out. Rosie, work those flowers like only you can!
Mary Cameron Talley
Flower Girl
Mary Cameron is Jared and Anna's daughter. Mary Cameron's introduction to Eric was one he will never forget. Jared and Anna let him hold her 7 days into her life, a moment that equally baffled Eric and made him feel so loved. Mary Cameron is one of the highlights of community group. Mary Cameron, work those flowers like only you can!
John Creel
Officiant
There was never another person in consideration to do this wedding other than Real Deal John Creel himself. Someone who has been instrumental in the life and development of Eric, as well as a former neighbor and trash taker of Linda. John has been a mentor, prayer warrior, and friend of the couple for many years. It is going to be a honor and blessing to be married by John.
Gage Johnson
Ring Bearer
If you know Gage you know he is quite unique. Eric has gotten to see Gage grow up from his time in student ministry. And this dude is like 6'4, it's crazy. Gage and Eric have played basketball together, rap battled each other, and spent way too much time at SAMs together. This is going to be awesome, I can't imagine there are many taller ring bearers than Gage.
