Maid of Honor
Kinsey is my sister and the maid of honor. If you know me and Kinsey you know we're opposite in our personalities. Kinsey was the wild child growing up who would hide in the racks in clothing stores and we'd have to get the store security to look for her and I was the child who just wanted to keep the peace and only "ran away" once because no one wanted to eat burritos with me and then punished myself for it. She's been my first best friend and I couldn't imagine anyone else being my MOH. Just gonna need to have my other bridesmaids look out for "Konsey". Not only is this wedding going to be half midnight city concert, but it is also going to be a low-key season of the bachelorette for Kinsey, so all the single men give her a holler.
Bridesmaid
I have actually met Julie twice. The first time we were in the same class our freshman year at College of Charleston. We didn't talk to anyone except one day Julie talked to me and I was so excited to have made a friend. Then the second time was through our other college roommate Melissa at USC. We all lived in the same apartment complex and soon became best friends and eventually moved in together. We are the best party planners and are suckers for anything with a theme. Halloween week was our MET gala and we would just make each others outfits even better. If we had the time to do it (sadly we will not) me and Julie would decorate the best wedding imaginable. We truly did everything together in college from target runs to hibachi house and buy one get one free village idiot pizza. Most of my favorite memories in college involve Julie. We were really meant to be best friends.

I met Gaby pretty soon after I met Kayla and I remember we first went out and she started a dance circle and I was like yeah she's gonna be one of my best friends. She is one of the most caring people I've ever met and I am so honored to have her by my side. Gaby got engaged about a month before me and I'm so excited we get to plan our weddings together!!
Bridesmaid
Christine is my big from our college sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma. I matched with her for sister dates and I knew from the first minute I wanted her to be my big. Well, I got her as my big and before I knew, she pretended like she was someone else to trick me and I was so sad because she was the only person I liked in the sorority at the time and I cried to my roommates. It all worked out in the end though and now here we are 7 years going strong.

I met Kayla my sophomore year of college in my apartment kitchen to pregame before we went out. I was talking about my wild uber ride story to her and my roommates from the night before and she thought I was pretty cool, so we became friends. Kayla and I got to be best friends during our fifth year when we were one of the few that decided to take a victory lap. When we moved back to Charleston and covid hit Kayla pretty much lived on my pull out bed on the weekends.

Funny story of how I met Jess. Our moms set up a friend meet at her neighborhood pool the day I sprained my finger at summer camp and no one believed me. I kept going back to my mom telling her how bad my finger hurt until eventually we left and she took me to the doctor. Jess' mom called me the whiny brat kid for a while, but 15 years later she is still my best friend and of course I have convinced her mom I'm not a whiny little kid. I don't know what I would have done without Jess growing up. We spent every day together living 5 minutes away from each other. We are over due for our wendy frosty meet up.

Lizzy and I became best friends in 3rd grade at Ashley Hall until she left me (she transferred schools). Then we reconnected in 2016 because she was best friends with Kayla. We picked up right where we left off. It would not surprise me if Hayden and Lizzy show up to the wedding via boat. Hoping dizzy lizzy comes out at the wedding.
Bridesmaid
Caroline is a middle cousin with me on the Jordan family side. When we were kids we were constantly hanging out over the summer. I feel like we were at water parks a lot. She is definitely the competitive cousin who would always trip me in the Easter egg hunt every year (even now you still gotta watch out). She was also my first egg toss partner (we were the raining champs for a while until Thomas came around, sorry I had to leave you<3).
Bridesmaid
Jordan is the oldest of us cousins on the Jordan family side. She really set the stage for the family and prepared them for the rest of us crazy kids. She is the pride and joy and she has been someone we have all looked up to since birth. She was always the first person to call after every breakup and to call to check in to see how I was doing in college. I'm so happy to have her by my side on such an important day.
Best Man
Groom's big brother. We met on October 18th, 1995. I have been terrorizing Kyle ever since.
Co-Best Man
Groom's Dad. We met on October 18th, 1995. Derek was supposed to receive a state-wide award for a project he completed, but Thomas had other plans. He decided to come into the world a month early. Derek had to miss his own ceremony. I have been stealing the show ever since.

Thomas met Tim during a business coffee meeting at Mercantile & Mash. When Thomas needed a date to the SEWE Gala in 2020 he took the opportunity to invite Tim (Thomas didn't have a lot of Charleston friends at the time). Needless to say, it was a night to remember and the two have been buds ever since.

Thomas and Maurice have been friends since the 8th-grade page trip to UNC Chapel Hill. They have been close friends ever since from JV Football and the disc golf days to weekend trips to visit each other in Greenville, Raleigh, Charleston, and Atlanta.

Thomas and Zach met on Facebook when they decided to become freshman-year roommates and then roommates for the entirety of college. They have gone on surf trips from OBX to Puerto Rico together and have laughs everywhere they go.

Thomas and Nick met freshman year in Jarvis. Nick and Hunter were freshman-year roommates. Nick also lived with Thomas and Zach for the next 3 years. They have been on many trips together and could tell countless stories. #bushboys

Adam and Thomas met when they were young boys. Their moms were high school friends and college roommates. I remember wondering around with Adam in his neighbor's back yard garden picking up frogs and other bugs. Needless to say they have been pretty much brothers for life. No matter the distance or time! When they get together its like no time has passed.

Thomas Met Cody on February 14, 2020, around 4:30 am. Tim insisted on introducing his, then, roommate, Cody to Thomas after the SEWE Gala. Thomas and Cody became roommates in June of 2022, but friends since 2020!

Sawyer and Thomas met freshman year of college in Jarvis! Sawyer lived across the hall from Nick and Hunter. Sawyer was an RA after that year but was always coming over to the crib to kickback or have some fun. #wherethehoseat?

Was it the $1 Jagerbombs or Maddog 20/20s that bonded us? Some may never know. Hunter and Thomas met in Jarvis freshman year of college. After both moving to Charleston they became great friends again.
