Maid of Honor
Someone to look up to.. *cough cough* even if I'm 7 inches taller. She's always down for pizza, wine, girl talk, and terrible reality television. Therefore, will always be my favorite. Big sister in every way possible. over-protective, bossy, territorial over clothing, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
Bridesmaid
Sure, she’s a year and some change younger, but I’m 99% positive she’s supposed to be my twin. Rach + Kruss = same human. Inside jokes for days. To the point that it's difficult to socialize with others in our presence.. Also, add in some grape soda.. and a secret language, we’ll call it a party #hidaguyiselikalayhamillehayshrinks
Bridesmaid
Okay, try NOT to hate her. But she looks like this.. (see photo above), she's hilarious, she's got a heart of gold, and basically the coolest chick ever.... Yeah, I hate her too.. ;)
Bridesmaid
Man oh man, freshmen year roomie at USC. Literally shared a 9x9 cinderblock cave for 365 days so you know we're close. Went to the Sonic drive thru with me during the worst snowstorm South Carolinas seen in decades cause I needed some tots. This girl has some serious loyalty. Love her!
Bridesmaid
Lets just go ahead and call her "life-of-the-party-Marina" cause thats basically what she is. But really, my Rini is the most genuine, self-aware, poetic, beautiful soul.. I'm a better person for getting to room with her in college. Whatever she does, inspiration follows.

Oh wait.. Cheatham has a first name?! I had no idea! This girl is the glue of our friend circle. Fun fact: Cheat and I spent so much time together the summer after high school, my grandma asked me if we were lesbians. lolzz
Bridesmaid
Sweet, cute, sassy Tay Tay! Our friend group would be off balance if we didn't have Tay! Also- I 100% owe my nursing degree to this girl! Could not have made it through clinical without her 5am bra-less humor or my curb-hopping driving skill.
Bridesmaid
When I think of Erin, I think of a friend who will irrationally have your back if someone cuts you in the bathroom line at a concert. Loyal to a fault. She has a heart of gold! Her confidence and adventurous spirit are #goals! Love her!
Bridesmaid
The most recent newlywed of the bunch! She is one of a kind and basically showed med school whose boss, no biggie. Also-Lee, of course, is an honorary bridesmaid, bc lets be honest, we all love him the same.
Best Man
After living together for 7 years I guess you can say we became somewhat friends, or at least common law married. From me holding the all time record for consecutive losses (0 - 100+) during coaches shootout when we were "coaches" at ASYC basketball camp to countless memories of debauchery in good ol' Athens, Ga to planning a Nashville trip together to watch UGA play Vandy, 9/12/15 (the same day I met Rachel). We've definitely had some good times so far and I don't see it slowing down anytime soon.

Even though he might've taken all the athletic skill in the family and had more facial hair in the 8th grade than I do now, I'm still proud to call Coltan my brother. He's hands down the most cool, calm, and collected person I've ever met. I literally can't even think of one time he's ever raised his voice at someone. But don't let that calm persona fool you, he definitely knows how to have a good time. If you ever need a Four Loko he's your guy.

I'm really lucky to have two great brothers that I get along with so well. Watching Chayton grow up and go through his "phases" has been a real treat. From his motocross phase, to the Justin Bieber phase, to the frat phase. But through all his phases his been one of the nicest and most reliable people I know.
Groomsman
Where do I even start with this guy. How about the first time I saw him in 8th grade and I couldn't figure out why teachers wore backpacks. Little did I know that 34 year old with a full beard, was actually only a 14 year old student. It's even crazier to think that 4 years later that same guy would become one of my best friends. We've had so many great times over the years and some of my best memories are from times we've hung out.

It's crazy to think that Bre and I have been friends for almost 18 years. We've come a long way from our cul-de-sac basketball games in 7th grade, but I can safely say that through the years Bre has always remained a constant and loyal friend.

I think it's safe to say I've taken more road trips and been to more sporting events with Hayden than anybody else. From Columbus and Pittsburgh to Nashville and Cincinnati, shinanigans seem to follow us everywhere we go, but I wouldn't have it any other way. There's nobody I know that is more passionate about Wolverine and Steeler football (he might be tied with Cam on the Steelers) and it doesn't even feel right going to Steelers games without him anymore. #doublerenegade

There's only a handful of people who can say they were there for Rachel and I's relationship from day 1, hour 1, minute 1 and Tom is on that list. Who would've thought that we would go from taking pictures with guys dressed as Ninja Turtles to meeting my future wife in a span of 15 minutes! Even though I've known Tom the least amount of time out of these guys, after all the road trips we took to and from Charleston I've got to know him really well in a hurry. He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met but try not to hold the fact that he works for Heineken against him for too long.

Shaun isn't nearly as creative as me.. he was intimidated by my amazing caption-ing skills.. So I’m sorry fellas, you're lucky to get a picture I stole off your facebook profiles.. ;)
