Wedding Party
Taylor Watts
Maid of Honor
My literal day 1 - seriously, she was soooo happy when I was born... right? Anyways, our friendship has grown so much over the past few years and I'm eternally grateful. When we don't talk on the phone every day, life doesn't seem right. I love you more than anything and am so glad to have you by my side on this special day!
Lewis Aynesworth
Best Man
Lewis and I have been friends for a long time but our friendship was ignited through our love for golf. We have had some great moments together on the golf course, traveling to tournaments, and playing nassaus against our dads... I'm willing to bet we have 10,000+ hours spent together hitting balls on the driving range!
Kendall Patterson
Maid of Honor
How do I even put into words how much I love this girl?! We've been best friends since we were 13 years old... from Madfrog to SMU to now - I couldn't imagine going through it all without you by my side. Especially the times where we were obsessed with One Direction (still happening?). You are my other half and I love you!
Zach Cook
Groomsman
My soon to be brother-in-law! Super excited to be adding Zach to the family. Zach is such a motivated, driven, and hard working guy and I learn so much from him every time we get to talk. He has been a tremendous role model for me and excited to have him be a part of the big day!
El Gilbert
Bridesmaid
When we wanted to be friends all along but were too afraid to actually reach out... Good thing we finally got together! Who else would I rule the Katy Trail Ice House with? You have been a missing piece to my puzzle and now I couldn't imagine life without you. I admire you every single day and love you more than words can describe!
Owen Carter
Groomsman
Owen and I met in macroeconomics class our sophomore year, and our friendship has "appreciated exponentially" ever since (haha). We became roommates the next year and even lived together for a couple years after college, in two different places. Owen and I spent a good portion of our time as roommates watching documentaries of insane but true historical events. Excited to share this special day with you Owen!
Kaitlyn Daugherty
Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn and I met Freshman year... she was a rower, I played volleyball, and we were from the DFW metroplex! We quickly became friends and then eventually roomies. Today, we live at apartments right next door to each other and frequent Chelsea Corner (yes- we are rewards members). I am so grateful God put you in my life Kait - can't wait for the big day!
Heath Noonan
Groomsman
I met Heath the end of my freshman year when both of us were signing up for our dorm's intramural flag football. I knew the second I met him that he was a guy I wanted to hang around. We would go out to the lawn outside the dorm and throw the football, baseball, frisbee, or anything that could be thrown honestly! We had some fun times watching Big12 sports, playing NCAA Football '14, and going to hit some balls at good ole Tenison Park!
Larissa Spies
Bridesmaid
One of the best surprises of my life was matching as random roomies at the end of 2017. If you're looking for someone who is always down for an adventure, is extremely fashionable, and loves Pepsi - Larissa's your girl! Our trip to Charleston will always be one of my fav memories. We've been through it all together and I consider you a sister for life - love you so much!!
Benji Neel
Groomsman
I grew up with Benji in Waco and found myself doing very adventurous things when I was with him! We would play disc golf in Cameron Park, hammock wherever possible, and climb the roof of random buildings.... like Target. Benji & Kaitleigh moved to Dallas after graduating college and the 4 of us have had a blast getting to travel the country together!
Nonie Henning
Bridesmaid
2,000 miles of distance can’t stop this friendship! Nonie you are the brunette to my blonde and one of my dearest friends. You add a layer of depth to my life that I never had before. From the SMU dorms to *casually* hiking Crater Lake, we have shared so many amazing memories together. Let's keep it up - what do you say?
Brandon Butler
Groomsman
Brandon's family and mine have been close friends in Waco for a long time. Brandon and I have always shared similar interests, like hunting and shooting. Brandon (SwiftBunny) is also the best Call of Duty player I have ever played with- although if you are weighing the team down he will let you know! Super pumped to have Brandon joining me in the wedding!
Lexi LeBlanc
Bridesmaid
AT&T really does connect you to greater possibilities, I learned that first hand! We met at our 2019 internship and when I was looking for a roomie in 2020, Lexi came straight to mind. Lexi, you have been such a blessing to my life and I am honored to have been your last roomie. From work to GOT to pickleball and everything in-between, I love you dearly!!!
Garrett Williams
Groomsman
Garrett and I met at SMU our freshman year and we quickly bonded over Golf. So much so, we have since created "The Tin Cup," a buddies golf trip that is on its 3rd year of playing! Fun memory back in 2021 when my dad and I went to the Saints-Titans game with G and his dad in Nashville. It was such a treat getting to spend time with the Williams family!
Alexus Davis
Bridesmaid
My newest friend and current roomie but honestly, I feel like we've known each other forever. Alexus is probably the sweetest person I know and I'm so thankful that Max brought her into my life. Our friendship really bloomed when we began rollerblading at White Rock Lake - and the rest is history. So glad you will be my last roomie ever - let's make it the best year yet!!!
Preston Hughes
Groomsman
Preston and Max's bromance runs deep.... so much so that I think there are times where Montana and Alyssa get jealous. Preston and I have always enjoyed the same hobbies of hunting, fishing, and shooting. We have come a long way from our immature days back in middle school.... but looking back we've had many memorable times spent together and he's been such a dependable friend!
Halle Harmon
Bridesmaid
Sister of the groom but honestly Halle is much more than that to me. We have known each other for years now and have truly become sisters. She's sweet, hilarious, and an amazing dog mom to Mila. Halle is always down for a good time - and I can't wait to make more memories together (forever)!!!!
Zach Strauss
Groomsman
Zach and I are current roommates, and he is the proud uncle of Alvin the Mutt. Zach and I were first united by our love for underperforming NFL franchises, and enjoy just hanging out and watching football. Some of our best memories together have come from our days of slow-pitch softball. It's been a pleasure living with Zach this past year and it has been fun to grow our relationship.
Jill Hilsabeck
Bridesmaid
Last but not least- my bestie who I've known the longest. Jill and I became friends when we were 3/4 years old and have stuck together ever since. If you know Jill, you instantly love her. She is the most authentic person I have ever known and I admire and respect her so much. She is also the funniest human alive, FYI. Jill - I love you forever (seriously, you can't get rid of me)!
