Wedding Party
Karlee Meek
Matron of Honor
Karlee has been my best friend since before we even knew what friendship meant. Our moms were friends, and from that moment on, life stitched us together. We grew up side by side—graduating high school together, celebrating milestones, and holding each other through seasons that shaped us. We’ve walked through six pregnancies together, sharing the joy of new life and the heartbreak of loss. When I lost two babies, Karlee stood beside me with a love that never wavered. When I lost my dad, she was there—steady, compassionate, and strong—reminding me I was never alone. I had the honor of standing with Karlee on her wedding day, and even when life took her miles away because of her husband’s service, distance never changed what we are to each other. Some friendships aren’t measured in years or proximity—they’re measured in loyalty, resilience, and unconditional love. Karlee is more than my Maid of Honor. She is my family, my constant, and one of the greatest blessings of my life. I can’t imagine this day without her by my side.

Rebecca Wallace
Bridesmaid
Rebecca came into my life when we were 13, and from that moment on, she became family. What started as friendship quickly turned into sisterhood. We grew up together, survived our teenage years side by side, and by senior year of high school, she was living with me—my home became hers, and my parents became her bonus parents. Rebecca has been there for me through some of the hardest losses of my life, showing up with strength, loyalty, and a kind of love that never asks for anything in return. I had the honor of standing by her side on her wedding day, and it meant everything to share that moment with someone who has shared so much of my life. After years of walking through so many seasons together, we finally get to experience motherhood side by side. When I had Hudson last year—a journey that nearly took my life—Rebecca was there, steady and unwavering, reminding me of my strength when I needed it most. Rebecca is more than a bridesmaid. She is my sister by choice, my safe place, and one of the greatest gifts God has given me. I am so grateful to have her standing with me on this day.

Brittiany Sarginson
Bridesmaid
Brittiany has been part of my life since grade school, back when growing up meant living close enough to walk to each other’s houses. From those early years to adulthood, she has been a constant presence through so many chapters of my life. I had the honor of standing beside Brittiany on her wedding day, and not long after, she found out she was pregnant—right before I welcomed Hudson. We’ve shared so many moments together, from everyday life to the biggest milestones. No matter how much time passes or how busy life gets, our friendship never skips a beat. We can go weeks or months and when we reconnect, it’s like no time has passed at all. That kind of bond is rare and irreplaceable. Brittiany’s loyalty, love, and presence mean more to me than words can say, and I’m so grateful to have her standing by my side on this day.

Megan Rhodes
Bridesmaid
Megan became part of our family in 2012, the same year I graduated high school, when she started dating my brother, Zach. From the very beginning, Zach knew she was going to be his wife—and it was clear she was someone truly special. Megan is thoughtful, kind, and carries herself with grace. She has always been someone I admire and respect, and I’m grateful for the role she plays in our family. It’s no surprise she was once Miss Christian County—her warmth and character shine just as brightly today. Megan and Zach are raising two beautiful daughters, Nora and Avery, and it has been a joy to watch their family grow. I am thankful to call Megan my sister-in-law, and I’m honored to have her standing with me on this day.

She is the kind of person who quietly takes care of others, and I’m so thankful for the way she has cared for our little family. I am grateful for the friendship we’ve built and honored to have Katie standing by my side on this day.
