Hunter Harrison

Maid of Honor

Hunter has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up as my neighbor across the street, she quickly became so much more than a friend she was (and still is) like a big sister to me. From childhood memories to the milestones that followed, Hunter has always been someone I look up to and lean on. She inspires me with her strength, heart, and the way she shows up for the people she loves. I truly can’t imagine standing at the altar without her by my side, and I’m so grateful to have her as part of this day and my life.

Heather Sasser

Bridesmaid

Heather has been by my side throughout our years of friendship, offering unwavering support and encouragement. During my time in dental school, she was an invaluable help in studying and staying focused, and we have shared many good times together along the way. I am deeply grateful for her friendship and honored to have her as part of my wedding day.

Katrina Salihu

Bridesmaid

Katrina has been such a meaningful part of my life for as long as I can remember. We’ve shared countless memories, laughs, and moments together over the years, and our friendship has always held a special place in my heart. Having her standing beside me on one of the biggest days of my life means more to me than words can say, and I’m so grateful to celebrate this chapter with her by my side.

Maria Eberhart

Bridesmaid

I met Maria through mutual friends, and she quickly became someone I truly admire. Outgoing, supportive, and one of the happiest people I know, she has a way of making anyone smile and is always there when you need her. I am so grateful to have her as part of my wedding day.

Jenna Shanabarger

Bridesmaid

I met Jenna through our shared friend group, and over time we’ve enjoyed spending time together at group dinners, outings, and celebrations. I’m excited to continue growing our friendship and grateful to have her as a bridesmaid on such an important day.

Tyler Palmeri

Best Man

My best friend Tyler is the kind of guy you can trust with anything your secrets, your life, or even your wedding day… which is saying a lot. A United States Marine Corps veteran, he brings the same loyalty, grit, and “don’t worry, I got this” energy he had in the service, except now he uses it to keep me from stressing out. He’s been in my corner through everything, roasting me when needed and backing me up when it counts. There’s a reason he’s my best man no one else could handle the job without asking for hazard pay. Proud to call him my brother.

Carter McDowell

Groomsman

Carter isn’t just one of my groomsmen he’s family. As Elizabeth’s brother, he’s been part of this journey from the very beginning, and I’m grateful to stand beside someone who means so much to both of us. Loyal, dependable, and always himself, Carter is the kind of guy you want in your corner, and I’m honored to have him with me on this day.

David Eberhart

Groomsman

David is a former roommate of mine as well as one of my best friends. Our relationship is proof that sometimes the universe throws together an unlikely duo for everyone’s entertainment. We enjoy our men’s trash talk that you’d think it was a full-time job; evidence of David being a proud Red Sox fan and me bleeding Yankees blue. David has also been influential of my growth and self improvement over the past few years. We have established a relationship to share personal and relationship challenges that men need to become better men. Our bond from smack talk, love of sports, and personal development has strengthened our relationship to being one of my closest friends in Raleigh. I’m appreciative of our relationship and happy that he will be standing alongside me at my wedding. At this point in our relationship, I consider him as close as family.

Chris Sebrell

Groomsman

Chris has become a close friend and someone I truly value in my life, which is why it means a lot to have him standing by my side as a groomsman in my wedding. Living together has created a strong friendship built on trust, loyalty, and countless good memories. I’m grateful for his support and excited to have him be part of such an important day in my life.

David Cassel

Groomsman

David is the kind of friend you can always count on. Loyal, genuine, and steady in every season, he’s been someone who shows up without hesitation and supports the people he cares about. I’m grateful to have him standing beside me as a groomsman and even more grateful to call him a true friend.

Dylan Hunt

Groomsman

Dylan is more than just a friend he’s someone who was forged alongside me through some of the hardest and most demanding days of our lives. Working together as correctional officers in the prison, we faced long hours, intense moments, and situations that required complete trust in the person standing next to you. In that environment, Dylan showed his character through his integrity, strength, and unwavering reliability. What started as coworkers quickly turned into a deep friendship built on respect, shared sacrifice, and knowing we always had each other’s backs.
