Maid of Honor
Maggie is my one and only sister. Although we sometimes fight like cats and dogs, I couldn't imagine my wedding day without her by my side. She is always there to listen and give her best advice. Maggie currently attends The University of Georgia. Her major is Exercise and Sports Science with a minor in Human Development and Family Sciences. She will be graduating in December 2022. I am one proud big sister! Maggie encompasses all of the characteristics of an honest and supportive sister. Maggie, Holden is excited to be gaining you as a sister.
Matron of Honor
Sarah and I were "friends from the womb" when our families lived in The Highlands. Sarah and I reconnected in college when she became my "Big Sister." Sarah and I have shared so many memories together from living together at the infamous West White Street to our yearly trips in January. When Sarah walks into the room, she always brings with her a sense of love and friendship that not many people can offer. I am so blessed to have her as one of my best friends. This day would not be complete without Sarah by my side.
Bridesmaid
Anna is one of my childhood best friends. From 4-year-old UWG pre-k, to girl scouts, to graduations, and even planning our weddings, we have been through it all together. I am pretty sure we even shared our first beer together. Anna was there when Holden and I confessed we liked each other, and she helped plan our engagement. Some of my most favorite memories have been made with her. We will be those old ladies having wine and cheese date nights. My wedding day would not be possible without Anna.
Bridesmaid
Sam is my bestie from SLP grad school. I literally would not have survived graduate school without her. When we weren't in class or clinic we would be at the Robinson Salvage looking for bargains. Sam and I were rarely apart during those 2 years. We even took our Boards Exam together and passed the first try!! Sam is that friend who will drop everything at 2 in the morning to be a shoulder to cry on or the next American Idol contestant to make you laugh until your belly hurts. Sam holds a special place in my heart.
Bridesmaid
Brooke is a high school bestie gal. We never run out of things to talk about when we are together; whether it's about Lucy-girl and Phoebe-girl or all the medical Nurse/SLP jargon, we have it covered. I can always rely on Brooke to have a good time. Her sense of humor will never let you down. Our memories from the senior cruise are always a favorite! She is the definition of a perfect bridesmaid.
Bridesmaid
Everyone needs a Ciera in their life. She will be your biggest fan and best hype-girl. I have no doubt she will be the best Mama to Waylon. Ciera is another childhood best friend. From rec. cheerleading days to cheering under the FNL, she was there. I was honored to be part of her special day, and now she is part of mine. Ciera is guaranteed to be the life of the party.
Bridesmaid
My future SIL! Of course, the wedding day would not be complete without her. I am so thankful for our friendship. She is always there whenever I need her. Also, I cannot go without saying thank you for helping Holden learn all the things over the years to make the most perfect husband! I cannot wait to watch you become a Mommy to sweet Kolbie Kate.
Best Man
Oh man, the memories shared with this fella. Jacob Lane was one of the first guys to start inviting me over once I became a Central Lion in middle school, and that will always mean something to me. Although we cannot share all of our past memories with our lovely mothers, we can assure you that we had fun. This stud muffin has been there through it all and he earned his spot on this list a long time ago. Cheers Nub!

There is no doubt in my mind that all of my buddies have my back, but boy do you know it with Brandon Justice. Me and Brandon met through baseball and mutual friends way back when we were baby faced kiddos that didn't know much about anything. As we have grown older we have navigated a lot in life together; whether it be relationships, jobs, or beer choice at the store. Mine and Mary Katheryn’s wedding would not be the same without the wild man himself. Buckle up folks, it could get wild.

There is a very special bond created within a high school football team that many do not understand, and I am very happy I have these memories with Jackson Lewis. Jack went off to Kennesaw State after high school but I assure you, not an ounce of love or bond was lost. The memories spread long and wide with this awesome guy and I can promise you, it is a bad day to be a beer if we are together. As I type this we are exactly a week away from yours and Brooke’s wedding. I cannot wait buddy!

John Gaiter is easily one of the most interesting guys in the group because he has Australian blood and his last name is Gaiter. I met John when Mary Katheryn was gaining her “big sister” (John’s wife, Sarah) in her sorority at West Georgia. I was fingers crossed this guy was cool and he sure did deliver. If you find yourself in conversation with this guy at the wedding, I promise you that his laugh is contagious. From yours and Sarah’s wedding to mine and MK’s, I sure am glad we’ll have these memories together.

They do not come any better than Rhett Duffey. If I had to describe Rhett in one word, it would be genuine. He is the kind of guy that will be there for you your entire life no matter the circumstances. Rhett and I met through baseball like many of my other friends and I instantly knew that he was one of the loyal ones. I have shared many hard laughs with Rhett over the years and I would not trade any of it for the world.
Groomsman
The young buck of the group, Lance Cummings. My first memory with Lance is when me and Brandon met him at The Pub on a random, college night out and we instantly kicked it off. I owe Sara endless amounts of “thank yous” for dating him so that we could cross paths. I don't believe I have jammed to as many country songs with anyone else in this world as I have with Lance while working at Barnes Store. Koe Wetzel, screw golf, and Go Dawgs buddy!

A big thank you to Kody Corley for being the right man for my sister, McKenzie. The memories have added up very quickly over the years and I cannot think of a better brother in law to share these moments with. Me and MK cannot wait to have our niece running around! You two will be the best parents. 2022 should be a year to remember. Get ready to celebrate old man!
