Ashley & Peyton
Wedding Party
Trinity Buehring
Maid of Honor
☆ Trin!! Trinity is the most loyal friend of them all! She has a heart of pure compassion and the most genuine kindness you will ever see. Trin and I met in high school at our 1st jobs as lifeguards and swim instructors at the YMCA! Trin and I are also both at UTK! Trin is definitely the mama bear of the group and cares and protects her girlfriends so so well! WE LOVE YA TRIN! ☆
Peyton Forrer
Best Man
Taller, more athletic Peyton. We met at freshman orientation where we happened to have the same advisor; realizing we shared the same name, we became instant kindergarten style buddies, solidified by our front row chemistry struggles, Nero’s Gyros (RIP), and more through the years. Peyton is the definition of a gentle giant, shown by his care for others and truly kind nature. This man has been by my side through some of the lowest and highest points of my life, constantly pushing me to do what is right in the eyes of God. I’ve watched his faith grow in his own right as well, seeing him time and time again submit himself to God’s standards (including being baptized), and even when he’s occasionally an oaf, I’m so proud to see the man he’s become and to have him as my best friend (and man).
Anna Grace Brons
Bridesmaid
☆ AG!! Anna Grace is the most fun friend around and is always down for whatever whenever! AG and I have been friends since she was in 7th grade and I was in 8th grade. We met at Judson Baptist Church in the youth group. AG is also at UTK with me as well. AG and I also share our love of Dollywood and have been several times together! AG is one of those friends ya have for life, love ya AG! ☆
Jeevan Kypa
Groomsman
I’ve never met a more joyful, hard-working guy. Jeevan and I had organic chemistry together for a year where he half dragged me through the class, and we worked on the same RA staff the following year where we realized we both believed in Christ (a humbling moment for us both since neither knew), leading to many late-night conversations and our joining the same discipleship group. He is seriously one of the most disciplined people I know, and he constantly uses his skills to help others be it through sharing notes (he once read the entire textbook for a class we had before the semester started), serving at medical clinics, or even inviting freshmen to join our Bible study. Jeevan has consistently challenged me to think intellectually about my faith, and I am happy to call him my friend.
Carson Boudreau
Bridesmaid
☆ Carson!! Carson is the most down to earth gal you will ever meet! She is so kind and a friend to all! Carson and I met in middle school where we had every class together in 8th grade! In college, Carson lived in the dorm room right below mine! We would often hang out and have music jam and dance sessions together! We also joined the same sorority, Sigma Phi Lambda, a Christian sorority at UTK, and had tons of fun together! Carson is also Peyton's and I's go-to photographer!! We love ya Carson! ☆
Nathan Willis
Groomsman
Nathan and I met in a biology lab, but we really got to know each other after he started coming to the Bible study group I went to. One night this man was going to walk around 2 miles in the snow back to his apartment, but he finally relented to let me drive him. Little did we know we’d end up sharing our testimonies with each other that night, and now we’ve grow closer through repeat failures in lab and D-group where I’m proud to say the guy who only first came to meet girls (it’s all guys group) is now mine and Jeevan’s leader, constantly pushing us to not just be but also do better. I’m lucky to have such a strong, dedicated guy like him as a friend.
Danielle McNabney
Bridesmaid
☆ Danielle!! Danielle is one of the best listeners and gives the greatest advice; she is also insanely smart and talented! She cares deeply for all of her friends so much! Everyone needs a friend like Danielle. She has always been there for me no matter what! Danielle was my new member educator my first semester of Sigma Phi Lambda. We became fast friends and we both worked at Dollywood's Splash Country this past summer together! Love ya Danielle! ☆
Houston Chapman
Groomsman
When most people think of Houston, they think of two things: tall and tech savvy, and although he has grabbed a thing or two off the top shelf and made me the fruit fly star, I've also gotten to see his genuine, helpful side. Houston has a servant's heart, constantly taking time out of his day to help other people from his grandparents to random people at a tennis complex, using his abilities to make their days brighter without missing a beat or a drop of complaint. His dedication to Titan's football is only beaten by his commitment to service, including giving up many restful Sunday's to volunteer at church. He may have a slight grudge for my stealing the king size bed at 5'8", but I've truly enjoyed getting to know him and am excited to have a brother like him in my life.
Emma Altizer
Bridesmaid
☆ Emma!! Emma is one of the coolest people I know!! You will often find her filming or working on a really cool project for all the different sports teams at UTK! Emma and I met in middle school and have been friends ever since! Emma is so smart, talented, caring, giving, and so fun! Emma is always down to go hiking or kayaking! Emma and I went kayaking one time had to lift this really heavy kayak on to the roof of my car; we definitely could have benefited from some help, but we had the best time laughing at what felt like 100 failed attempts to get the kayak on top of the car. Emma has always been a great friend to me and I am so thankful for her and our friendship! Love ya Emma!! ☆
Elliott Walden
Groomsman
I don’t think there’s a single sport we couldn’t teach each other how to play. Elliott and I were friends through high school where we bonded through soccer, cutthroat pool, and $1 stackers from Taco Bell. When we got to UT, that quickly transitioned into many hours of racquetball with only minor bruises and only one eye almost lost, and now we’re onto tennis. Elliott is the hallmark of a dependable friend, the one who’s consistently positive and always there if you need him. He’s brought so much joy, fun, and laughter (especially at his racquetball playing) into my life, and I’m grateful to have him in it.
