Wedding Party
Kerrigan Pennington
Best Man
Kerrigan Pennington serves as the best man of the groom. “KP” is the former roommate, teammate, and part time musical engineer for random freestyles. If you hear him and the groom in a heated discussion, it’s more than likely about something that happened in a random Alabama game from last season.
Tiffinie Tidmore
Matron of Honor
Tiffinie is the sister of the bride! A built in best friend, Tiff has been around for the good bad and ugly. Tiffinie is an Occupational Therapist Assistant at Therapy Junction in Ft Payne, AL, wife to Jared Tidmore and Mother of 2 of our flower girls, Stella and Scarlett. Her success at work and home can be attributed to her encouraging/fun personality and undeniable work ethic. We wouldn’t be where we are without her support and we are grateful to have her by our side to celebrate our union!
Justin Woolfolk
Groomsman
Justin Woolfolk serves as fellow roommate, teammate and brother of the groom…let’s just say “Select Southern” was the first step in what became a wonderful brotherhood and led to the where they are are now! (If he does a backflip tonight, put the liquor up IMMEDIATELY)
Karmin Shute
Groomswoman
Karmin Shute is the living embodiment of “I told you that you were gonna be on my side in the wedding” bet that stood the test of time! Karmin is the most decorated collegiate athlete in the wedding party (respectfully) but also the auntie that’ll call everyone out on their foolishness of yesteryear but celebrate the growth and future. We are grateful to have her join our celebration!
Jamar Posey
Groomsman
Jamar Posey is the OG of the bunch! Former Teammate, coach, therapist, brother from another mother! if someone asks “who trying to take shots”, he’s already taken two. The one who saw the connection for the bride and groom from a mile away (especially from Slime)
Sy Butler
Groomsman
Sy Butler is the peaceful scrapper of the bunch. He may not say much but don’t let it fool you, say something about LeBron not being the GOAT you gone have to see him! It’s the joy and love he brings to celebrate that all will see exactly why BIG BIHHH is standing by the side of the groom!
Jacob Nichols
Groomsman
Jacob Nichols is the new kid on the block when it comes to the stage of life when he and the groom’s friendship began. Working together a at a restaurant for a total of six months turned into lifelong friendship with pure shenanigans in between! Don’t get him started on developing young QBs! But before the night is over he’ll be tearing up the dance floor with no hesitation
Colby Chambers
Groomsman
Colby Chambers is childhood friend of the groom who has been by his side from the beginning! The original 6-7!! (IYKYK) There will be a moment in the celebration where you’ll hear a random “yee-yee” and that’s just to check and make sure the groom hasn’t started crying to Celine Dion or to vibe check and make sure everyone’s alright!
James Kayden Johnson
Bridesman
Kayden and the bride grew up in neighboring small towns, and connected in their college years in the big city of Birmingham. Relating over their upbringing, love of The Golden Girls, and all things “meemaw core”, throughout the years you can find Kayden and the bride “loafering” about antique stores or reminiscing on a porch with a glass of sweet tea. Kayden is a husband to beautiful Cha and doggy dad to their fur babies as well as a high achieving educator and difference maker at Walter Jackson Elementary school. From sharing apartments to navigating retiring from and entering into military life, and everything in between, Kayden and the bride have been family for all their adult life. We are honored to have he and Cha’s support and love on our most special day.
Stacy Lawrence
Bridesman
Stacy and the bride met in the military at the beginning of their careers and have been locked in ever since. Stacy is a highly educated AH-64 Apache Pilot in the Army stationed at Ft Hood in Texas and has been a pillar of support for the bride through years of training and professional development as well as a brother and confidant throughout various life transitions. Stacy is one of the most supportive and resilient people you will ever encounter and regardless of the circumstances, SERE school included, will ensure everyone is entertained and smiling. You’ll hear his infectious laugh before you see him, and we are so excited to have him bring his positive energy to our celebration.
Ethan Hervey
Bridesman
Ethan and the bride met in basic training as two young and eager aspiring aviators. Ethan is now a successful UH-60M Blackhawk Pilot stationed in South Korea. He and the bride navigated the throws of military training and countless study sessions. Ethan hosted endless dinner/ study parties to get the friend group through the rigors of flight school and many weekend gatherings to always keep morale high. A ride or die for life, whether it be a celebration or defeat you can count on Ethan to show up in the most meaningful ways. Late night drives listening to 90s country music, planning weekend beach trips or coordinating group zoom calls so we all stay in touch across the world. You can likely find him in the dance floor doing the “fish out of water”. Ethan is someone we couldn’t celebrate without!
Lake Williams
Bridesman
Lake is a fellow aviator and beloved friend of the bride. Lake is a UH-60L Blackhawk driver in a medevac unit in Mississippi. Wife to Baylee and father to their new addition, sweet Rosie, Lake is the “dad” of the flight school fab 4. He and Baylee always get the party started, whether it be planning activities for the group, curating the perfect playlist full of nostalgic bangers to keep the vibes flowing, or cooking Michelin star dinners for near every gathering; you can rest assured the Williams family is going to bring joy and love wherever they go. We couldn’t be happier to have them with us on our wedding day!
Caitlin Hilley
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the bride, Caitlin is more often assumed to be a sister. She is a full time student at Covenant College where she studiesEnglish and Literature and is a future Grammy award winning singer/songwriter in her spare time. Caitlin and the bride have bonded over being the “right brained” members of the family over the years and we are so thankful to have her creativity and light be a part of our wedding!
Blake Akins
Bridesman
The bride’s older brother, Blake is nothing less than the life of the party. A combat veteran, father to the bride’s favorite nephew and successful business manager, Blake works hard and plays harder. Even though this day is to celebrate his smarter, cooler, better looking little sister (and her future husband)… we are so glad to have him join us.
