Matron of Honor
Anna and I met as we started our very first year at Millsaps College, back in 2001. We have been known to be the loudest people in the world when we get together and we have the big hair and big personality to match. Our friendship has lasted between us living apart from New York, Calilfornia, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, and even further...but that just proves friendship has no distance. We have laughed, cried, and smiled together but we always have a great time. Don't be surprised if you see us busting out to a Missy Elliot song. Anna currently works in the hospitality industry and enjoys the beach, traveling, and her puppy dogs back home in Tennessee.
Bridesmaid
Kristen and I met halfway through my first year of graduate school at Mississippi College. Little did we know our lives would forever be interwined by the twists and turns of life but all of that has made our friendship even stronger. Kristen has one of the warmest smiles and kindest hearts of anyone I know. Thank God for her patience and help because I surely never would have made it through grad school without her. She is now in residency for radiology in Florida. She and her husband have two beautiful boys who you will see on our wedding day.
Bridesmaid
Leslie and I met during my freshman year at Millsaps College. I will never forget many of the fun nights we had during and after college. However what I will always treasure from our friendship is the amazing conversations Leslie and I have. Leslie is that friend that you can talk to about anything and she is always just a phone call away. She is definitely the most adventurous of my friends as she actively trains in aerial acrobatics, skateboarding, surfing, and any other adventurous activity you can think of. Leslie's work led her into a career that helps design testing questions on national standardized exams. You don't want to challenge her to a history quiz.
Bridesmaid
Jessica and I met through the Matron of Honor, Anna Neth. Jessica and Anna grew up as kids together so it's fitting Jessica and I were meant to be close friends. Jessica is one of the most fun and giving people I have ever met. This girl has been there to help me through some of the best and not so best of times. One thing you can count on is Jessica will be the leader of bringing a good time to the wedding festivities. Jessica currently works for Farm Bureau Insurance so don't be afraid to ask her about a good deal.
Bridesmaid
Emily and I met through a mutual friend at a dinner party. I knew we would be life long friends when we discovered our mutual love of good champagne, good food, and bunco. Not only do we drive the same car but we also have similar taste in red wine, hair stylist, and good friends. Our friendship is responsible for helping me find my Jackson "Tribe" of friends who are an incredible bunch of women I admire and adore. Emily can literally do it all from cooking for large groups, working full time, and throwing the most awesome get togethers ever. She and her husband have raised two precious boys who will be in our wedding.
Bridesmaid
Marisa and I have known each other our entire lives...but that is usually how family works. Marisa is hands down the epitome of cool, calm, and collected. She enjoys outdoor hiking, rescuing animals of all kinds, and taking advantage of all the wonderful things the world has to offer. When she isn't traveling, updating her food Instagram page or enjoying outdoor musical festivals, you can find her loving on her bulldog, Jethro, or studying in her current graduate program.
Bridesmaid
Arianna is another cousin and sister to my other bridesmaid, Marisa. Arianna is absolutely the sweetest young lady I have ever met with some of the best style I have ever seen. If it wasn't for her and sister Marisa, I would definitely be out of the loop with any current fashion trends. Arianna enjoys loving on her puppies at home, traveling, and helping give me makeup tutorials. Yes, she can contour better than the professionals. Arianna recently moved from California to the South to study at Elon University.
Heavenly Bridesmaid
My beautiful and very dear cousin, Talia, is no longer with us on this earth. However she has always been and will always be one of the most important people in my life. Matt and I wanted to honor her memory by including her in our wedding day as our heavenly bridesmaid. Our special day wouldn't be complete without having you watch over us. We love and miss this sweet angel so much.
