Jon Lomax
Groomsman
The Revolutionary Brother 🎚 Growing up, Michael lived at Jon’s house Friday and Saturday nights all through high school. The stories these two guys could tell you , most you would ask yourselves how they are still alive, not to mention still best friends. These two have been to hell and back together, and apart. God’s hand is all over their lives, and their friendship today is evidence of that. Through the power of Jesus, forgiveness and recovery, their friendship is renewed and stronger than ever. Today they both grow in brotherhood and in Christ, helping others along in their journey of Recovery.
Marni Akins
Bridesmaid
The Sister 👯♀️ This Girl has been with Jennie from the start. Having different parents entirely, but growing up under the same roof, it’s was easier to tell people they were sisters, but that’s because they are. And though at times distance and time have separated them through the years, they will always and forever have each other’s backs. They may not have similar DNA, but there is no blood that runs thicker than it does between these two girls.
Ben Gooch
Groomsman
The Childhood Brother 🚌 Ben has been best friends with Michael for so long it’s hard for Michael to recall exactly when they first met. We won’t even start with all the stories these two share. Growing up at one another’s homes , graduating high school together, these two have been brothers for so long it feels like blood. Having played paintball as kids, when Michael got back into the sport in his 30’s, and of course he could let his good friend Ben be left out. (Ben’s wife loves this fact so much, trust me) The amazing friendship between them continues to grow each and every passing year.
Kristine Ely
Bridesmaid
The Undergrad Best Frand. 🎓 Meeting in 2011 was just the beginning of an epic friendship. Having countless farm adventures, horse shows, and dance parties ( just wait for these skills to be displayed at the reception) this friendship was formed when life was new and exciting, and has continued through countless moves, so many more hours of schooling (just call them Doc ;D ), and many many miles that separate them from time to time, but believe that every time they come back together, it’s like no time has passed.
Jeremy Moulder
Groomsman
The “Yote” Brother 💪🏻💯 Best Paintball Brother a man could ask for ! Quickly Jeremy became Michael’s family. Jeremy is The foundation of the Semi Pro Paintball team The Nashville Coyotes !! Many practices and tournaments have created a strong brotherhood between these two. The first day Michael met Jeremy at Reg Leg Paintball , he immediately knew he made a best friend for life. A brother for the long haul !
EB Warde
Bridesmaid
The Mortuary Best Frand ⚰️😳 Having met while they were in Undergrad together, studying Agricultural, EB’s first impression of Jennie wasn’t really the greatest. Essentially she assumed Jennie was a “Stuck Up B”. Funny enough it was just a short year later that they ended up back in school together, this time studying Mortuary Science. Having an opportunity for a second impression they realized there couldn’t be a world where they weren’t the greatest of friends. Going thru many ups and downs, careers, career changes, back to school decisions, and now weddings together, this pair of girls are in it for the long haul.
Jose Martinez
Groomsman
The Spicy Bother 🌶 Michael would tell you that Jose has the heart of the size of Texas, and the personality of a Puerto Rican Chihuahua. Michael met Jose at Nashville Paintball in 2016 , and realized very quickly Jose would be a life long friend / brother and teammate. Jose is always down to get tacos after practice and lend a ear or helping hand when needed without expecting anything in return.
Jade Taylor
Bridesmaid
The Chiropractic Best Frand. ⚕️❤️ Having one of the newest friendships with the bride, these two have been through some pretty insane times together. Accomplishing an incredible feat, graduating chiropractic school, is something that creates an unbreakable bond. Having the opportunity to share stresses and victories along the way is one thing that makes this friendship unique. Still to this day they may be separated by several states, but will easily spend hours and hours on the phone going over their life adventures and challenges with each other.
