Jason: MAROON Hannah: Grey? Gray?? Does that count even though it isn't really a color? Will: Green and Gold Clayton: Red Taylor: Green Heather: Seriously so many great shades of color out there....chartreuse
Clayton: Who is the kid that won’t stop crying? Aaron: Awkward elementary school boy. Soon to become best friend. Jenna: My first impression of Abi was that she was sweet, which she is, and shy, which she IS NOT!! Jason: First impression of Brandon was too long ago to remember. My first impression of Abi was that Brandon finally found someone as interested in baseball as him. Boy was he happy about that. Kyle: Loving, yet goofy. Ben: She's way too cool for Brandon. Taylor: Most caring, genuine, and fun couple!
Clayton: Sweet Tea or Shiner Becca: Coffee!! It used to be Dr. Pepper, but Abi and I drank just that ALL THE TIME it was great! Lauren: Water with lemon bro Hannah: Wine, tequila, grapefruit vodka, Diet Coke, La Croix??? Depends on the vibe Ben: A scotch that is old enough to order it's own scotch.
Becca: There are way too many times to just pick one with Abi, but if I’d have to choose, all the times when Abi laughed so hard her drink came out of her nose. Clayton: Too many to count lol! Will: Collectively trying to determine whether our waitress at Grilled Cheeserie was in fact high on the job (and Brandon left a $0 tip). Ben: Sitting across the room at Carney's expecting Brandon to come talk to us, but instead we just watched him stare at Abi for an hour. Lauren: Not awkward but when Brandon presented everyone hot chocolate from the Nashville sink water. Still makes me want to throw up. Jenna: Hahaha the only one I can think of involves a boyfriend from high school but let’s just say it involved me smashing my face against the glass at an ice rink... we’ll leave it there haha!
Hannah: 2. Bran is very practical. 2 is practical. Jenna: 3 or 4 (if you wanna adopt one, hit me up I gotchu;) Kyle: 30 Aaron: All of them? At least 4 Will: 1.93 since that is the US average Clayton: 12(th Man)
Hannah: Here for it. Let the good times roll. For real though, praising God for this relationship!! Abi and I truly have seen each other through the best of times & the worst of times & it’s so sweet to see through to this other side. Kyle: Unique, like two different sides of a coin, but yet somehow they are joined. Heather: Seriously one of the healthiest and most real I’ve ever seen. Y’all don’t mess around - you get deep. I love how honest you two are with each other and yourselves. Becca: Brandon, you better know just how lucky you are. Taylor: You guys are so ready and have done all the work. Can’t wait to see you guys continue to grow! Will: Positive
Clayton: B’s Aggie ring day when all four of us had our rings, which was also the day I met Abi! Hannah: Being Abi’s ROOMIE!! The sweetest 2 months of my life- thank you Jesus for this friendship and for the way that He moved in my life through our friendship!! literally the most life giving friendship I’ve ever experienced- the Lord had such intention for rooming us together & we had NO STINKING CLUE. Jason: That one time his jorts turned into Daisy Dukes in the dorm back in the fall of '17. Aaron: Making napalm in Brandon's driveway and scaring Deb. Lauren: Waiting 7.5 hours (thank you Will and Brandon) for some sausage average links and the roadside picnic when Brandon's truck broke down between CStat and Waco. Kyle: When Abi and I convinced Brandon that yogurt would cure a sunburn.
Taylor: "Let’s do it!" Jason: "To love at all, is to be vulnerable" - CS Lewis Becca: "Good friends are like stars, you don’t always see them but you know they are there." Aaron: "“He's brave, like a cowboy should be. And kind, and smart. But the thing that makes [Brandon] special, is he'll never give up on you... ever.” Jenna: “Find joy in everything you choose to do. Every job, relationship, home... it’s your responsibility to love it or change it.” I chose this quote because Abi is one of the most joyful people i have ever met and she just radiates joy! Katelynn: "I always park here and never get towed" - Abi 2 hours later: "OMG I got towed" -Abi
Abi: 11 Brandon: 3
Will: Know God and make him known. Heather: I honestly think you guys are doing it. Brandon I think you’d make such an excellent lawyer. Your tenacity and intelligence would be a force to be reckoned with. Though in your spare time, I see you working with your hands like your woodworking. Abi I don’t know if I imagine you doing anything but shaking up the education world. You’re going to make sure kids are seen and heard. That their circumstance doesn’t dictate their future. Katelynn: Abi was born to make an impact on the world. She always strives to do anything she sets her mind to. I know she is going to make a difference wherever she ends up because she will make it her mission to better the educational field. Becca: Abi was born to lead and inspire people. She has such a genuine, kind soul and touches everyone she meets. Lauren: Go to Fenway and get the Monsta Mint Milkshake.
Becca: My friends and I always laughed about how competitive we are... I always laugh harder. Aaron: A cheese factory exploded in France. Da brie was everywhere! Hannah: What’s brown & sticky?? A stick. HAHA get it? Jenna: What’s brown and sticky??? (idk if you want the answer but you’re gonna get it... a stick hehe) Katelynn: Knock knock. Who's there? Cow go. Cow go who? Cow go moo, not whoo! Will: The Texas Rangers
Becca: “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:2-3 Clayton: Stay true to who y’all are! Stay in step with the Lord! Kyle: You’ll probably be fine. Will: Lauren and I are so excited for y’all and we hope marriage doesn’t make you any better at Ticket to Ride because we need all the help we can get! Jason: I believe in you two. "You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think" -Winnie the Pooh Taylor: You guys are going into this knowing it isn’t all rainbows all the time, but you guys do so well at making even the most mundane things fun. Keeping doing that!
Aaron: From wikipedia- There have been many proposed answers to this question from many different cultural and ideological backgrounds. The search for life's meaning has produced much philosophical, scientific, theological, and metaphysical speculation throughout history. Different people and cultures believe different things for the answer to this question. Taylor: Not sure I’ve figured that out yet; love God, love others, and don’t stress over the things you can’t control. Lauren: To love Jesus and His people and walk in obedience. Jason: To know God and make him known. Heather: Isn’t it 42 or something? Fr though it’s gotta be living for God’s glory. It’s almost like we’re his ant farm. :) Ben: 42
Lauren: Is this even a question? If anyone doesn’t answer Ticket to Ride I don’t think they should be in this wedding. Kyle: Chess Katelynn: Chutes and Ladders :) Jenna: ooooo I’m a big card gal but board game... does Settlers of Catan count? or mall madness, a classic! Becca: Uno!!! I know it’s not a board game...but it’s a card game (close enough, right?)
Jason: Concert Tickets for April of 2020 Will : My entire dresser drawer of Nike Elite socks from middle school Katelynn: Ice skates when I live in Texas.... Aaron: Clash of clans gems in middle school. Those things are ripoffs. Lauren: That coffee at Dutch Bros...sure did pay for it. Ben: Those Vibram 5-Finger shoes that had individual slots for your toes. They didn't make me run any faster but boy did I get made fun of.
Hannah: If Reese Witherspoon doesn’t play me I’m rioting (I have a major girl crush on her.) Abi should be played by Kristen Wiig (hello so pretty!!). Bran should be played by Daniel Radcliffe. Clayton: Eddie Murphy plays me, Pat Morita plays B, and Abs is played by Kristen Wiig. Road trip movie. Jenna: I wanna say Blake Lively but I’m more of a Zooey Deschanel. Brandon strikes me as a Dylan O'Brien type like a sweet, non-controversial guy haha and Abi is Emma Watson. Taylor: Me, Reece Witherspoon. Abi, Sandra Bullock. Brandon, Adam Sandler. Comedy Heather: Melissa McCarthy maybe? She’s a big girl, could pull off tattoos, is funny, and knows how to cuss. Mika Kunis for Abi because while she’s pretty, she’s hardcore. B would have to Justin Long cuz he’s silly and has that big grin. The genre would have to be Action/Adventure/Comedy. Katelynn: Me, Jennifer Lawrence. Brandon, Andy Samberg. Abi, Sandra Bullock. Definitely comedy because every time we are all together we are laughing.
Heather: Abi is an iguana because they’re always cold so they will lay on a beach in the sun for hours on end. Brandon is a beaver because they’re seriously hardworking and ingenious engineers. Taylor: Harvey dog duh! Kyle: Silverback gorilla. Strong, hairy, wise, yet goofy. Lauren: Brandon = Bald Eagle, Abi = Lion Ben: Abi is clearly a Golden Retriever. Brando is probably a koala.
Ben: The washing machine. How much time was spent beating shirts on those rocks before? I can't imagine. Clayton: Can opener Heather: Q-tips. What can’t they do? Jason: Potato peeler. It works every single time, but gets no love. Katelynn: Spork Aaron: Portapotties
Ben: De-emphasize standardized testing, de-emphasize fact memorizing, and emphasize the skillset of curiosity and life-long learning. Jenna: Teachers need to be paid more, that’s the main thing. But also, I may be biased, but there needs to be a better social work presence in schools to ensure all children are have all of their needs met, not just educational but physical, mental, emotional, physiological. Kyle: Take off the mask, and do more bear crawls. Heather: A person’s success shouldn’t be measured by tests and scores. It shouldn’t be measured by how many activities the person crams into their life so they don’t have rest. Also, emotional learning is mandatory for future generations. There’s so many different levels of social emotional learning for different needs. Lastly, funding. Hannah: Do you actually want me to answer this? We have to start with the government and I need more alcohol for that. #publicschool!!!
