Matron of honor and groomsman
Maebry is my older sister and was my first ever friend! I had the honor of standing by her on her wedding day and I cannot wait to have her by my side. After Gabe proposed he told me that he was sad that he didn’t have an excuse to hangout with Maebry anymore, he had a lot of fun with her while she helped him pick out my ring. They have such a wonderful relationship and I couldn’t be more grateful. They even have their own “secret handshake”. I seriously don’t know what I would do without her. She is my best friend. My brother in-law Clint is truly one of a kind. He is the funniest and most charming guy that I know. There is never a dull moment when he is around. We are so happy that they will be apart of our special day!
Maid of Honor
Sadie is my 16 year old little sister. She was 6 when Gabe and I started dating. She is OUR little sister. Gabe might not admit it but he would do anything for her! She keeps us on our toes and we love her very much!
Best Man
Gabe’s dad is one of the nicest men you will ever meet. He always has a smile on his face. Some of Gabe’s favorite memories are riding in the truck with his daddy when he was little. We love him very much!
Junior Best Man
Cayson is our sweet nephew. He may be the only person that Gabe loves more than me. I keep telling Cayson that he is going to be in our wedding but he keeps insisting that we are “already marries” He is our angel sent from heaven! We love being Aunt Marly and Uncle Gabe!
Groomsman and bridesmaid
Lindsey was my first best friend’s neighbor. Daryl Anne and I couldn’t have a slumber party without her so we became the 3 amigos. We all three grew up inseparable. She is a great friend and even greater mother! Tanner and Gabe grew up down the dirt road from each other, they were always friends but when Lindsey and Tanner started dating they REALLY became best friends. They were more inseparable than Lindsey, DA, and I.
Ring Bearer
Lindsey and Tanner blessed us all with this precious boy. He is an outside loving, turkey calling, deer hunting boy! We are proud to be his “uncle Gabe and mar mar” I consider myself so lucky to be apart of this little guy’s life. We sure do love watching him grow!
Bridesmaid
Daryl Anne is my best friend! We have been friends for as long as I can remember. I jokingly tell people that I didn’t get to choose her, our mothers chose for us! Her parents are my parents, I truly do not know where I would be without my Debs and Rick! You know the love is real when he openly calls me his favorite daughter. We butt heads often and drive each other crazy but we love each other unconditionally. Dab is the extra sister I never wanted but the best friend I’ve ever had.
Bridesmaid and Flower girl
Some of my favorite memories as a child are visiting Marybeth and Catie in Atlanta. When they moved back to Nashville when we were in 2nd grade I was so happy! We have been so close ever since then. Cousins are built in best friends! When Marybeth and I are together I am never not laughing. Bee gave me my beautiful Raegan Lane in January of 2018. She is the sassiest 2 year old in the world. I love that Raegan Lane so much. I love watching this angel grow into Marybeth’s twin more and more everyday. She is going to be the most beautiful flower girl!
Groomsman and Bridesmaid
Blake and Kari have been apart of our family for so many years now. As soon as Blake brought Kari home I knew she was the one! They are very special to both Gabe and I. We are the Godparents to their fur babies, Phoebe Doodles and Heidi Lou and we love them very much!
Bridesmaid and Junior Bridesmaid
I couldn’t imagine my life without this precious family. Ellie has loved “Gebe” her entire life and I consider McKenzie my 3rd sister. I could not imagine my big day without them standing by my side. Mckenzie is married to Austin Garner and they have five perfect children! Brock, Davis, Ellie, Beau, and Bishop. I love their not so little family with my whole heart!
Bridesmaid
Jamie and I met in Esthetician school in 2016. She thought I was “too much” and I wanted to be her best friend. Friendship was born. I loved her from the beginning and it didn’t take her very long to love me back! She is the kind of friend that is always there when you need her. Her laugh is so contagious. Everyone needs a James in their life!
Groomsman and bridesmaid
Peyton and Gabe have been friends forever, they played football together their whole lives and have grown up together. Peyton and I have always been close too. He was always the guy I could call when Gabe was at Shorter University because Teal was away at UGA. When we wanted to complain to each other about how much we missed our S/O’s we were always there for each other. Teal is the friend that everyone needs in their life. The one who is always there to give sarcastic words of advice and unlimited plant knowledge. She is one of the kindest souls I have ever met and truly a gem. Gabe and Teal share their love for history and worldly ignorance. They are a pair for sure!
Groomsman
Ethan is Gabe’s one friend that he can’t remember meeting. They played rec football together when they were 6 years old and all the way up through high school. He is our fur babies favorite “Uncle Ethan”. I often have to tell him to leave my house when I’m ready to go to bed, sometimes that doesn’t work. We could ask this guy for anything and he wouldn’t stop trying until he made it happen. We love Uncle Ethan and Aunt Becca too!
Groomsman
Gabe and I could fight over which one of us loves Dan the most, I think I would win. Daryl Anne and I used to chase this boy all over the play ground in 1st grade. I know that he probably liked it then but we never really left him alone after that. We were always making him do things for us from Y-Club shenanigans to changing the marquee in front of the middle school every other week. He always had a smile! Gabe and Daniel played football together all through school and when you get them together it’s hard to get them to shut up. They have so many memories. I am so happy that Daniel is going to be apart of our special day and even happier that Mary Margaret is going to be helping me as well! Daniel and Mary Margaret are tying the knot in 2021!!! Yay! They are both angels!
Groomsman
Dustin has always been around, he is my friend Lindsey’s older brother! Gabe and Dustin really became friends when Tanner and Lindsey started dating. They love all things hunting, and escaping their significant others while outdoors! Gabe was a groomsman in Dustin and Marissa’s wedding in February 2019! We were all so happy when Dustin met Marissa they are a match made in heaven! They have three children, Lainey, Kinleigh, and sweet baby Anderson made his arrival in March 2020!
Groomsman
Gabe met Gray at Shorter University. They were both there on a football scholarship, needless to say they didn’t do a lot of learning and both only lasted 1 year. Gabe likes to call Gray his “$15,000” friend because their friendship is the only thing they took away from Shorter. When these two are in the same city dangerous things happen. We love Gray even though he was with us the night Gabe broke his ankle! *Fun Fact* Gray’s little brother is named Garner! We were meant to be.
Groomsman
Sam was the left tackle and Gabe was the left guard in Sam’s senior football season. The following year football wasn’t the same for Gabe without him. If I had a dollar for all the football stories Ive heard from all the guys over and over again I would be a millionaire, and I’m sure I will hear them dozens more times. You can’t talk about Sam without talking about Leah! Sam really hit the jackpot with her! We love them both so much!
