Mackenzie & Zachary
Wedding Party
Alexandria Wood
Matron of Honor
I have the honor and privilege to call Mackenzie not only my sister, but my best friend. Through all the different seasons of life we have faced together, I’m so grateful to have her as my rock! I have loved watching her spunky personality as a toddler turn into this feisty, confident young woman. With love and prayer over them both, I cannot wait to stand by her side as she marries her best friend! Let’s CELEBRATE!!

My favorite memory of Mackenzie is hard to choose because I was lucky enough to grow up with her and see her grow through different phases of life. Some of these moments include locking ourselves up in the game room for video games, weekends on the lake, and summer trips. All in all to say I’m blessed to know Mackenzie is an understatement and excited to see the journey of marriage that she and Zac will undergo.

Bridesmaid
Even though Mackenzie and I met and became friends early on in college and made SO many amazing memories, my favorite memory was being included in her wedding dress shopping trip. We hadn’t seen each other in so long, but it was like nothing had changed. Having friends that live 1,000+ miles away is difficult, but I am so thankful to have a friendship like ours.
Catherine Weiss
Bridesmaid
Mackenzie and I met at The University of Tennessee when we moved into our freshman dorm as suite-mates. She said, “Hi I’m Mackenzie!” and gave me a huge hug. I was terrified and stood there stiff as a board. Mackenzie is a wonderful friend that is always there during the good times, like Cinco de Mayo, and even the hard times. I am so grateful that we were randomly matched to be suite-mates six years ago.

Zac and I first met in one of our fraternity brother’s dorm rooms shortly after the start of freshman year. I beat him 6-0 in FIFA, so he spent the next few weeks trying to compete with me. That turned in to countless hours of video games, hanging out, and singing our favorite songs by CCR and Hootie and the Blowfish. Zac is a friend that I know I can always rely on, even though he is not very good at FIFA.

I have a lot of favorite memories with Zac, but my favorite memory of us was when Zac just turned 16 and he got his first car. From that time on, our relationship as brothers got stronger and we started becoming friends. I would say for me, it was once we started building a friendship, because I was going to be Zac’s annoying little brother regardless. I will always be a friend of his for the rest of our lives and that is a blessing to me. I’ve looked up to Zac for a long time and he is the type of person I want to become one day.

I met Zac during fraternity rush when I was a freshman at the University of Tennessee. Zac acted as a mentor and friend and eventually became my big brother in the fraternity He has always been a reliable friend to call upon.

Zac and I attended the same highschool together in Hendersonville. We both knew of each other, but being in different grades and playing different sports prevented us from becoming friends until college. I was a sophomore when Zac rushed Sigma Nu which created a friendship which later led to Zac becoming my little brother in our fraternity. After that, it was hard to find a day where Zac and I were not studying in the library or hanging out. Both being competitive individuals, we spent several nights a week together in the library pushing each other to do as well as we could in our studies. Zac and I still talk weekly to this day and I am beyond proud and excited for Zac and Mackenzie. Furthermore, I am honored to be included in such a special day for two people that deserve each other.

Zac and I met in college through fishing. It only my took a couple days on the river to realize that we shared the same opinions on all the important matters: fly fishing, Trump, and Sweetwater 420s. After that, it was hard not to become close friends. We don’t get to fish as much together anymore, now that Zac has moved on to bigger and dumber fish, but that hasn’t stopped us from staying in touch constantly planning our next time on the water together
