Jessica & Matthew
Wedding Party
Rebekah Owens
Matron of Honor
There is no better friend than a sister, and no better sister than you! You have always stood by my side and been the person I have looked up to throughout the years. We have so many memories that I wouldn't trade for the world! You are the best big sister I could ask for, and my go-to person for everything, I'm so thankful to have you!
Adam Clarkson
Best Man
From an enemy in basketball to a best friend. Adam has been by my side since freshman year in high school and it's a privilege to still have him by my side on this special day.
Heather Cockerham
Bridesmaid
Blessed to have you as a future sister-in-law and stand by our side on our big day! Since I came into Matthew's life you've always been someone I admire! Such a great mom and now "mimi." We are so thankful for all you have done over the years, you are always someone we can count on!
Shaun Cockerham
Groomsman
My oldest brother has been someone I have always looked up to. He has displayed hard work with not only his job, but with his family. Thank you for showing me what it takes to be a husband and a father. I am ecstatic for you to be with me on the day I become a husband, I know you'll make it fun.
Holly Smith
Bridesmaid
"A cousin is a little bit of childhood that can't be lost." We have so many fun childhood memories from over the summers we all spent at granny's! We can't wait to have you be a part of our wedding day! You light up a room with your smile, and are one of the most kind, and compassionate people we know!
Brandon Stanley
Groomsman
From you throwing football at me as hard as you can, and throwing it "too high" when I was younger. It didn't just make me better at football, it helped me with challenges. Whether I wanted you to or not, you challenged me and made me a better man for it. I am blessed to have you by my side on this special day.
Brandy Stanley
Bridesmaid
Over the years, we have grown so much closer! You've pretty much called me your sister-in-law for years now. You always made me feel welcome at family events, and we have so much fun when you are around. We are so happy to have you be a part of our special day, we know it will be fun if you're around!
Josh Clarkson
Groomsman
You have never been my enemy like your brother.. Well maybe some days, but the days I needed help the most you were there without hesitation. I'm glad to have you standing with me on this special day.
Sarah Smith
Bridesmaid
We are so delighted to have you be a part of our wedding day! We have numerous fun childhood memories and can't wait to make more. I'm glad to be able to call you my cousin, although you are so much more!
Dylan Sprinkle
Groomsman
From "babysitting" you, getting you stung by 20 bees, to being someone I can talk to about anything. I'm so proud of the man you are becoming, probably the most considerate person I have met. You make me a lucky uncle having you by my side.
Kate Hennelly
Bridesmaid
In the short amount of time we have known each other you have become so much more than a friend, we are more like sisters! We are so happy that you and James decided to move here and come work in the NICU. We are so excited to have a true friend be a part of our special day!
Trey Cockerham
Groomsman
It's hard to believe that you are grown up. I always enjoyed you coming home with me and mom after bowman gray races and getting "shake milks." You are becoming a great young man before my eyes and I'm excited to see what your future looks like. Although you make me feel old, you are blessing of a nephew and soon-to-be groomsman!
Sydney Perkins
Bridesmaid
Sydney and I both started working as new grads together in the NICU at Baptist. We have been working together for a little over a year now! She started out as just a work friend who now I genuinely couldn't get through life without! We are so happy to have to have you be a part of such an important day in our lives.
Clovis Stanley
Dog of Honor
Our wedding day wouldn't be complete without our pup Clovis being there. After our great pyrenees Baxter passed away last September, I didn't think it would be possible to love another dog, but Clovis stepped up and showed us it was possible to have another best friend.
Ensley Ward
Flower Girl
When we found out Matthew's niece was having a baby, we secretly hoped for a girl! Ensley is such a beautiful, sweet girl and we love watching her grow. We are so happy she gets to be a part of our big day, and can't wait to see her all dressed up!
Lily-Mae Key
Flower Girl
We were so excited when we found out another girl was being added to the family! Lily-Mae is growing into such a sweet girl and we are honored to be able to have her be a part of our wedding. We know she will be beautiful and can't wait to share the memories one day when she gets a little older!
Camdyn Stanley
Ring Bearer
Camdyn was only a one year old when we first started dating. It's hard to believe he will be eight this year! He knows how to put a smile on everyones face, and is one of the most determined kids we know when it comes to sports. We are so proud of you and the young man you are becoming!
Cindy Havens
Mother of the Bride
I wouldn't be where I am at today without my sweet mom! You role modeled what it was like to be a not only the perfect mom, but also a great wife. She is one of the most hard working and compassionate people I know. Words can't describe how much I love you! Thank you for always being there for me no matter what! I'm so happy and proud to have you be a part of our wedding day.
Luanne Stanley
Mother of the Groom
The strongest, fearless, and selfless person I will ever meet. You took on raising five kids by your self without even thinking about help. You showed me so much in life and I wouldn't be where I am today without you. You inspire me to be the best man I can possibly be. You raised and molded me into the man I am today, and because of that, I get to happily marry the girl of my dreams. I can't wait for you to be at the wedding watching this special day.
Dennis Havens
Father of the Bride
My first love and forever hero! I'm so thankful for everything in life my dad has taught me. From reminding me to check my car gauges, to raising chicken and goats. He taught by example and is always there for me with the love and guidance I've needed. To the world you are a dad but to me you are the world!
