Lindsay & Sam
Wedding Party
Kalie Schubert
Matron of Honor
Kalie and Lindsay met by complete chance during Kalie's preference round of rush at UGA at the Kappa Delta house. In just their short conversation, they had made a connection full of similar stories and values that would set the stage for a life long friendship. Lindsay considers Kalie the little sister that she never had growing up and can't wait for her Kails to be by her side during this adventure too!
Ted Bryant
Best Man
Ted is Sam’s only brother. He is 3 years younger, but to Sam’s displeasure, about 3 inches taller. They went to different schools growing up, so they had different friend groups for the most of their lives. Sam always wanted to be someone Ted could look up to. While the spent the majority of their early years fighting and bickering, as siblings do, they have grown closer than ever over the last 5 years and Sam could not think of anyone he would rather have directly by his side on his big day.
Hailey Miller
Matron of Honor
Hailey and Lindsay were roommates during part of their time at UGA, where they became best friends. Hailey is the most loving, supportive, and genuine friend that a girl could ask for and they have fun during all of their adventures. Even though Lindsay moved out of state, they keep in touch through trips and FaceTimes and remain just as close as the good ole college days.
Davis Grindle
Groomsman - In Loving Memory
Davis and Sam met as young kids and grew up in the same neighborhood together. They were inseparable for many years and lived together as roommates for a period of time as well. Sam and Davis were mistaken for brothers all of the time because of the amount of time they spent together. Sadly, Davis was taken from this world at the far too young age of 24. While Sam wishes that Davis could be here to celebrate this day, we all know that he will be looking down and watching from Heaven.
Sam Gustafson
Maid of Honor
From Athens, Ga, to Australia and New Zealand, and all of the in between, Sam is Lindsay's go to 'let's have a great time gal'. Sam knows how to make everyone she meets feel special, supported, and loved; she also can create an adventure in anything, even if that means trying to make studying for finance tests fun! Some of Lindsay's favorite memories during and after college are with Sam, and she can't wait to have Sam by her side for this season of life too!
Don Grindle
Groomsman
Don and Sam grew up together in the same neighborhood as children and played on the same sports teams as kids. Growing up, you could almost always find Don and Sam outdoors or at the local swimming pool. They worked together for a few years running a restaurant together in Bellemeade and Sam was Don’s best man in his wedding a few years ago.
Jess Mattson
Bridesmaid
Jess is one of the gems that Sam and Lindsay found at Nashletics, their first CrossFit gym all together in Nashville. Jess and her boyfriend Austin are some of Lindsay and Sams best friends and have been by their side since the beginning. As a yoga teacher and therapist, Jess constantly pours into those around her but still is able to make her people feel so special and loved. Whether having girls days with drinks at Diskin or taking long couples weekends to the lake, since meeting, Jess has, and continues to be, a constant in Lindsay's life and relationship with Sam.
Austin Mansell
Groomsman
Austin also went to Lindsay and Sam's gym, Nashletics and between working with Lindsay and working out all together, Austin quickly became one of Sam and Lindsay's best friends. As roommates, Austin and Sam could always be found by the water, whether it was the pool, on a pontoon, or at the lake. Austin and his girlfriend Jess have been such a huge part of Sam and Lindsay's lives, even before Sam and Lindsay started dating, and they all know they will be friends for life. Sam could not be more excited to have Austin next to him on his wedding day.
Jenn Monaghan
Bridesmaid
Frequently sending texts to each other that start off with "Hey Sister!", Lindsay considers Jenn her Nashville family. Jenn was one of the first people to not only welcome Lindsay to Nashville, but to make it feel like home. Lindsay got to know Jenn while working in her department as an intern, but you can now find them trying out new patio spots around town and talking and laughing for hours. Jenn gives the best advice and is always easy to have fun with.
Nathan Greene
Groomsman
Nathan and Sam met through a local gym. They instantly connected over a shared interest in fitness, as well as the outdoors and animals. Nathan is one who is always up for an adventure and can climb and row with the best of them. He is also one of the original members of the trivia team that Sam started over three years ago, and he attends every Tuesday night. Nate is a man of many hats and, as both Sam and Lindsay’s financial advisor, if you have any questions about mutual funds or collateralized debt obligations, Nathan is the guy to talk to.
Lexie Lawhon
Bridesmaid
Lexie is an absolute ball of sunshine who's passion for life and people is absolutely infectious; it's impossible to not laugh, dance, and have a good time when she's around. She was one of Lindsay's first friends in Nashville and helps to make the city home. Lindsay and Lexie love to explore Nashville together, especially when it involves "ordering one of everything" at a new restaurant.
William Powell
Groomsman
Although you might mistake Will for one of Lindsay's uncles, he's actually her third youngest brother. Sam and Will became best buds instantly over their love of golf and shooting; there's never a shortage of good times when they're together. Sam's pretty sure he still owes Will $30 from their last round of golf and might have to settle up at the wedding.
Virginia Ingram
Bridesmaid
Virginia and Lindsay have been friends for what feels like forever. They used to spend their summers at CJL living in tents, and would have to wait to see each other until the next summer. Now as adults, Virginia and Lindsay have remained best friends, and were huge support systems and cheerleaders for each other while navigating college, graduating, and job hunting. Virginia was even in Nashville one of the first times that Lindsay and Sam hung out.
Tanner Baker
Groomsman
Tanner, the oldest of Lindsay's brothers, spent a lot of time bonding with Sam during the beginning of quarantine, in 2020. Tanner and Sam both are sharp shooters at the range and enjoyed working out and watching football together. Regardless of their love for different teams, Sam is so excited to have Tanner by his side.
Becky Wright
Bridesmaid
Becky is the most fun loving, supportive hype girl in the world and has a heart of gold to go along with it. It's a no brainer to have her stand by Lindsay's side on her wedding day, as Becky was at Nashletics when Lindsay and Sam first starting hanging out. She actually bet Lindsay $20 that they would get married before they even started dating.
Jack Powell
Groomsman
Jack is the youngest of Lindsay's brothers, but that hasn't held him up from hangin' with the big kids. Jack and Sam formed an instant connection over paintball and soon found out they had a common passion for both golf and hunting for the best crème brûlée in town. Whether you're laughing at his present wrapping skills, or at a joke he's just cracked, you're sure to have a good time when Jack's around.
Jess White
Bridesmaid
Jess and Lindsay became dog moms at the same time and love their pups with their whole hearts. Jess is the most loyal, driven, and supportive friend this world could give someone. No matter the day, Jess is by your side ready to have fun, catch some sun, or grab a sweat session at the gym. Lindsay couldn't be more blessed by this girl's friendship and getting to have her by her side
Trey Baker
Groomsman
Trey is Lindsay's second oldest brother whom Sam grew close to during the beginning of quarantine in 2020. With Lindsay and Sam living in Atlanta for 2 months, Trey and Sam spent lots of time getting to know each other and bonding over games and TV shows such as Rummikub and The Masked Singer. Trey loves to play games and have fun, so you will be sure to see him around the games at the wedding.
Aaron Diehl
Officiant
Sam and Lindsay met Aaron through one of Sam's best friends, Amy. It was not too long ago that Sam and Lindsay sat at Amy and Aaron's wedding and celebrated the life they were building together. Aaron is such an incredible friend, husband, and father, and he truly embodies how to be a Godly man. His love and passion for the Lord shines through to everyone he meets and through all of his actions. Aaron loves others the way God calls us to love and Lindsay and Sam could not be more blessed to have Aaron marry them.
