Bride

zay Jeter

Best Man

I have known Zay for 23 years. I have liked zay, well, i still dont like him but he has been my friend for 21 years. In truth, he is more than a friend he is my brother and one of the original "3 Muskateers" (Porthos) from high school. Our love hate relationship has been a source of competition and support for us both always driving me to do better and be better. He was instrumental in helping me pull of my proposal especially after having to quickly pull together a last second alternative at the Grand Canyon once Ozzy fell through. I owe him a lot and i am glad to have him stand beside me as my best man.

Rashaud Mungro

Groomsman

Rashaud has been a best friend and brother for 23 years. He was the first friend i made in middle school and one of the original "three musketeers" (Aramis) from high school. He has been there to offer a helping hand or open ear whenever it was needed, as well as, assist with plenty of 'mischief' along the way. His strength and unique perspectives have been a significant influence on my life and provided both encouragement and competition to keep me level headed(ish) and driving forward to become the best version of myself. I am lucky to have him standing beside me.

Bryan Hensley

Groomsman

I have known Bryan since 2nd grade (27 years) over a quarter century despite only liking the $&#@%! for 24. Once 5th grade hit he and i were inseparable and damn near identical in thought process and personality. He is my oldest friend, brother, and the first (and whitest) of "the Musketeers" (DARtangion). The amount of history here cannot be over stated. Bryan has been a FOIL for self examination over 2/3 of my life. He has offered both compassion and the occasional kick in the nuts as needed over the years to keep me moving forward toward success. He has been instrumental in improving both the angel and devil on my shoulders. Since we were kids i've waited for him to stand beside me and now the date is finally set!

Aryn Hicks

Bridesmaid

I have known Aryn AKA Pooky for the last 16 years. We met my Senior year of High school as i was flirting with some of the freshman at lunch. Pooky was always the old soul. Far more mature and pulled together than her peers, if more than a little Naive. I had the distinct pleasure of making her graduation memorable by heckling "WAY TO GO POOKY" from the stands which prompted my first meeting with her dad, lol. As She went through college and "gained perspective" she began taking more of a supportive younger sister role in my life. Always ready to provide measured and level headed advice or appropriate condescension, but knowing how to keep things entertaining.

Mike Bliss

Groomsman

Over the last 16 years Mike has been the Big-Little brother i never knew i needed. From wild parties at "the fort" to late night waffle house runs and numerous trips up the mountain he and i have accumulated an endless supply of funny, inspiring, and highly embarrassing (at least for him) stories. Mike is one of the kindest and most caring people you will ever meet. In many respects he was often to nice which lead to me helping him through some pretty dark spots in his life. As i have often told him "I am the outward expression of your repesssed inner child"! In true Mike fashion, however, he was there to lift me up and offer perspective when i needed it most and i am blessed to have him in my life. I was proud to be best man at his wedding and thrilled to have him beside me at mine.

Vince Sims

Groomsman

I've known this big bastard since freshman year of high school...when he fell on me...intentionally. Now, 21 years later, he will stand beside me as i marry the girl i fell for harder than he fell on me. vince has been a true friend and brother even moving in downstairs for several years after highschool. we had more misadventures than i can recall or care to share butnim sure they'll all come up ay some point throughout the evening.

Bronx

Ring Security - K9 Unit

Bronx is bestest bull!! I have had this wonderful pibble for 10 years and he is more my child than my pet. I have always wanted to incorporate him into my wedding and i am thankful to have such an amazing woman who helped come up with a unique way to include both our son and fur baby on our special day.

Tanner Palazzo

Ring security

Tanner is definitive proof that nurture is stronger than nature. Everywhere we go people say how much he and i look and act just alike. This is fitting as he started off as my secret weapon to win Steph over after his amazing triple gainer into the lake. Watching him grow over the last 5 years and knowing i have helped to shape him into the man he will become has been a blessing, as well as, a tool for some serious self reflection. He has helped me better understand many of the lessons my own parents helped impart to me. He is my Son and i look forward to formally adopting him as soon as i am able. After asking his blessing to marry Steph, she and I are honored to give him the most important role of the wedding. He will safeguard our rings during the Ceremony!!
