Wedding Party
Alyssa Vollaro
Maid of Honor
From a little restaurant on the boardwalk in Carolina Beach, to family. Alyssa has been by Nia's side through countless chapters of life, from listening to all the high-school drama, despite being three years older, to helping Taylor plan the proposal. No matter what season of life Nia found herself in, Alyssa has always been someone she could call. A best friend, mentor, and sister by choice, she has earned the title of Maid of Honor many times over.
Brandon Taylor
Best Man
Cousins, but more like the big brother Taylor never had. Brandon has taught Taylor a lot in life, and Taylor would probably argue the feeling is mutual. From hunting and fishing trips to life's biggest milestones, Brandon has always been just a phone call away. Besides Nia, he's still Taylor's favorite hunting and fishing partner.
Kai Gomez
Bridesman
10 years of friendship between Nia and Kai. Fun fact, in middle school Nia had the BIGGEST crush on Kai and used to post pictures on her instagram of them. Kai broke her heart when he told her he played for the other side, but he has never failed to be the best friend she could ask for.
Kyle Hargrove
Groomsman
Kyle has been a brother to Taylor since they were 8 years old. From sharing a house and surviving early mornings at work to countless late nights that probably shouldn't be discussed in detail, Kyle has been a constant in Taylor's life. Through every good decision and a few questionable ones, they've always had each other's backs. Over 15 years later, not much has changed, and Taylor wouldn't have it any other way.
Ensley Meier
Bridesmaid
You're not seeing double, you're seeing trouble. Nia and Ensley have been friends since high school, there has always been the joke they're twins in another life, just because they're so alike. A genuine, sweet, and hilarious to witness friendship.
Kolby Lanier
Groomsman
Coworkers turned brothers. From giving Taylor rides to work to standing beside him on his wedding day, Kolby has been there through thick and thin. Countless late nights, plenty of laughter, and more stories than either of them would care to explain have made their friendship what it is today.
Trinity Gainous
Bridesmaid
Talk about family, Nia and Trinity have been friends since 1st grade. The definition of friends who grew up together, from Barbies and American Girl dolls, to boys and getting their licenses. Their families were each other's families, and their houses were each others houses for a good amount of years.
Dawson Sexton
Groomsman
Taylor and Dawson have almost 10 years of friendship under their belts. Quite literally watched each other grow into the men they are today. Countless nights in living rooms, bringing out the guitar and banjo singing old country and Dawson's originals.
Kayla Cable
Bridesmaid
Friend, turned roomate, turned lifelong friend. Kayla and Nia have countless stories together, they're each others go-to concert buddies, and when they lived together, moving between each others rooms just to hangout was the nightly normal.
Corban Brooks
Groomsman
A lifelong brother (literally). Taylor and Corban, being just 4 years apart, are a duo that is not to be taken lightly. They'd kill for each other, but they might kill each other in the process of planning it. When times are tough, you'll find these two right beside each other.
Sydney Roy
Bridesmaid
Nia and Sydney have also been friends since high school. Cheerleading was their main hangout, but they've done just about any and everything together. From being eachothers prom date (seriously who needs a highschool boy), to sharing a room on the cruise for Nia's senior trip. Just two girls with a shopping addiction, and love for country music.
Jacob Lanier
Groomsman
Two brothers from another mother. Jacob and Taylor have been through blood, sweat, and tears together...literally. Taylor keeps Jacob out of trouble, and Jacob reminds Taylor not to take life too seriously. They've always been there for each other, and even if they'd never admit it, neither would be the same without the other.
Cameron Brooks
Bridesmaid
As Taylor's sister, Cameron has been keeping him on his toes his whole life. Nia and Cameron both have a shared love of cooking and a TALENT for teasing Taylor, which has made the girls getting to know eachother so much fun. The bride and groom are thankful to have her standing by their side on the wedding day.
Kevin Hobson
Groomsman
Cookouts, birthdays, and enough food to feed a small army. Kevin's house has been the backdrop for countless memories for not just Taylor, but Nia as well. Whether he's firing up the grill, getting everyone to try another Trinidad delicacy, or just bringing people together, Kevin has a way of making everyone feel at home. More than a friend, he's become family, and the bride and groom couldn't imagine celebrating this day without him.
