Wedding Party
Jessica & Bradley
Bride & Groom
All great love stories start on a dating app, right? Jessica had just moved to North Carolina when her and Brad met on Hinge. The two chatted on the app before Brad asked Jessica on their first date.
Hannah Lautanen
Maid of Honor
Jessica and Hannah met during their freshman orientation at Coastal Carolina. They lived together with both of their dogs, Sawyer and Gracie, during and after college. The two enjoyed Target runs, getting their nails done together and volunteering at church. While hours separate them now, they have weekly FaceTime dates and still include each other in shopping trips. Hannah was made for the role of maid of honor!
Olivia Robinson
Bridesmaid
Olivia and Jessica also met at Coastal Carolina. Olivia was Jessica’s ‘big’ in their sorority Sigma Kappa. Since college Olivia and Jessica have been each others biggest supporters when it comes to life and their line of work. Olivia has helped Jessica blossom in the ABA field. Olivia’s son, Owen, is the ring bearer.
Skylah Sturgis
Bridesmaid
Attached at the hip, some may say! Skylah and Jessica were never far from each other in high school. Throughout those years they cheered and danced together, created a theatre production their senior year, and of course, got in loads of trouble. While they didn't get away with everything, Skylah and Jessica stayed true to each other. Skylah has a bubbly personality and the most infectious laugh, you will be sure to see her on the dance floor.
Kieli Bukacek
Bridesmaid
Kieli is Jessica's first cousin and built in bestie. These two always looked forward to seeing each other during vacations at Hunting Island, the holidays and on weekend trips back home. Once together, these two can be their goofy selves without any judgement. From talking abouts nails to boys and even learning TikTok dances, the age gap has never mattered. Jessica has loved watching Kieli grow into the smart, funny, strong and beautiful young lady she is today. Jessica hopes to continue to be a role model for her younger cousin, even if it's done with a little flare.
David Everhart
Best Man
For Brad, choosing his dad to be his best man was a no brainer. They share interests in farm equipment, working on farm equipment when it inevitably needs a repair, and can be found at Stevens on Thursday nights enjoying the special of the day. David has taken the time and energy to raise Brad into the man he is today. There is no doubt that Brad would not be who he is or where he is in life without his dad's love and support.
Josh Jordan
Groomsman
Josh met Brad when he moved to North Carolina from Florida in the fourth grade. Throughout middle and high school, these two created a strong friendship. From there, they lived in two different dorms and apartments, tailgated at countless football games, and enjoyed Cook Out runs along the way. Although life has moved them to separate parts of North Carolina, they are able to reconnect without skipping a beat.
Zach Thompson
Groomsman
Although Zach and Brad did not grow up together, you could almost mistake them for brothers. They enjoyed many Roo cups over their summer breaks while cruising the backroads of Davidson County, where they contemplated life and tried to figure out girls. Although the late night Taco Bell runs have become less frequent (and they still haven't 100% figured out women) their friendship is still as strong as ever. Brad is so thankful to have Zach stand beside him on his wedding day.
Jacob Hege
Groomsman
It has been said that you can pick your friends and that you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends nose. Fortunately for Brad (as far as he can remember) he has never picked Jacob (Hege's) nose, but he sure is glad he picked him as a friend. One of Brad's earliest memories was making friends with Hege in Mrs. Spencer's kindergarten class. Between playing CDs in Walmart and yelling at people out of their truck windows, Hege and Brad have always found a way to enjoy each others company. Of course, causing harmless chaos along the way.
Owen Robinson
Ring Bearer
Owen is the smallest in his crew, the son of Olivia and Corey. Owen loves to dance, smile and spend time with his siblings.
Addison & Emma James
Flower Girl
Addie and Emma are the nieces of Jessica and Brad. These girls love pickles, ice cream, their siblings and all of their farm animals.
