Wedding Party
Shannon James
Bridesmaid
We met in 8th grade at ASCS and even though she didn't stay my the school, she has stayed in my heart. We were partners in our science class and had to make a Model T car which was not functional (receiving a C!) and we were inseparable ever since. We made sure to continue to see each other as much as we could, picking up wherever we left off. She has also given me a nephew that I love watching grow up into a boy! I wouldn't have it any other way. Love you lady.
Amanda Stainback
Bridesmaid
We have endearingly called ourselves "Diaper Buddies." Our parents lived next to each other when we were born. Our parents continued to see each other even after moving which helped grow our relationship even further as we grew up. We attended the same high school and kept in touch through college and jobs that kept us living in different states and even different countries. Amanda is such an artistic soul and complements me so well. Amanda is my life friend and am so happy she will be by my side.
Nick Williamson
Best Man
We roomed together in college and immediately became best friends. Whether it was golf, baseball, the gym (which really meant playing hours of racquetball), having full fledge games of catch in the dorm room and hallways, or watching Will Ferrell comedies on rerun, we made college more fun than I could have ever imagined. We lived together again even after graduating and continued to make adult life as fun as possible. While I feel bad for all of those who ever had to deal with us at the multiple Chickfila's, Bowling Alleys, Pool Halls, Ski Slopes, and honestly any other function that we've ever attended together, we have made some awesome memories. I am honored to get to call Nick my best friend.
Clay Thomas
Groomsman
Clay and I met in college at the only squat rack in Randolph-Macon's gym, which is extremely fitting if you know Clay. But it was not until after we both graduated from college that we became close friends. Clay and I lived together for two years in two separate places and had a blast making both places as manly as you can possibly imagine. We quickly became friends over breaking records for number of times getting Chinese in one week, watching narcos, and drinking haneous amounts of soda. We were both always there for one another and became brothers in the process.
Maylee
Pup of Honor
This girl is my life dog and I can't imagine her not being there for the day we get to keep Ryan forever.
Ranger Rick
Best Pup
Ranger Rick has exceeded any possible expectation of being a "man's best friend". She has spent long hours on multiple construction sites and trailers, gone along on endless amounts of long car rides, and moved several times. She has quickly extended the same kind of loyalty and love to Kelsey and Maylee.
