Stephanie and the Bride have been friends since kindergarten. Stephanie is married, and her and her husband have two handsome twin boys (Benjamin and Wyatt) and they are also fostering a little girl (Willa). At first before the wedding was postponed, the saddest decision was made and Stephanie said she couldn’t be In the wedding due to her being pregnant and the due date was close to the wedding. Now that the virus has messed with the original date, Stephanie is able to be in the wedding as originally planned.

Braden pharis
Groomsman
Braden and Garrett have also been friends for a long time! Braden is an insurance adjuster for farmers. Braden is a great friend and fun to be around. We are so thankful him and the rest of these guys agreed to stand beside Garrett on our big day. P
Cameron Cooper
Groomsman
Oh Cameron, he has also been friends with Garrett for a good bit. He works at Jonesboro Roof & Gutter Pros (and the HR manager). He loves to Lip Sync so we should probably ask him to do something at the wedding, what do you think?
Kevin Liddell
Groomsman
From old neighbors to friends now. These two have been friends a good while also. Kevin has two jobs, his main job is that he is a manager at the Jonesboro Kroger and the second most recent job is that he is now an Uber driver on the side. How cool is that?
Silas Young
Ring Bearer
Silas, the brides little cousin will be the head ring bearer and walk the other ring bearer (Dexter) down to the front. I am sure that these two boys and our flower girls will be the big hit! We have some of the cutest and funniest kids to help on our big day and we are so excited!
Dexter Allen Williams
Ring Bearer
Yes, there will be a grand pup entrance :) this four legged cutie will accompany our other ring bearer, Silas Young. Dexter is the bride’s one and only child and of course he needs to be there when his parents get married! 🐾❤️
Susan Williams
Mother of the Bride
MOTHER OF THE BRIDE💗 This is a new title for her, she’s been the mother of the groom twice but finally it’s the girls turn in the family. Susan is one of the most selfless people you will meet. She is sweet, caring, selfless and the boss. She babysits, is on the nursery committee at church as well as she is on the board with this organization in Haiti called Hope Rising, which is the organization we work with when we go. So it’s obvious she loves the babies!! But seriously though, she’s an angel! Susan is Carolynne’s confidant, her mother first, her friend second, her brain.
Russell Williams
Father of the Bride
Ole Russell, what do we have to say about this fella. He’s marrying off his oldest daughter so he’s excited but it’s a bittersweet feeling for him for sure. He has a huge heart and a silly personality. Russell works for a company out of Cherry Valley, AR called ECS House Industries. Russell is an engineer, he has worked for different engineering companies as well as he has once taught at a votech before. One of his talents that most people know him by is his artistic abilities. Man, this guy right here is so talented! He has painted in nurseries in homes, church wee school rooms, church children ministry rooms, Christmas ornaments, he’s painted a whole lot at Hope Rising in Haiti and so much more! He also makes blue prints for people wanting to build a house. Many of many talents.
Cindy Bennett Shepard
Mother of the Groom
This is the first child Cindy is marrying off so this is a whole new ballgame for this one! To know her is to love her! She’s silly, she’s creative, she’s spunky, she’s loving. If you need an interior decorator, she is your woman!!! Cindy works at Gamble Home in Jonesboro, AR and is an interior decorator. She has done many homes and many businesses in the Jonesboro and surrounding areas. She has a thing for that and she’s good at it. Currently she has a new grand dog so she’s either working or snuggling with Harvey, but who can blame her because he is so cute!!
Gary Shepard
Father of the Groom
Gary works really hard! He spends a lot of time at the family farm. Farming is a big time job and some seasons are longer days. He and his wife, Beverly, also used to own one of the escape rooms in Jonesboro and most of the props that was in the rooms, he built himself. Gary is pretty much an all hands kind of man. I think it’s cool that he built most of the props if you ask me.
Randy Presley
Officiant
“Uncle” Randy!!! This gives me great joy knowing that he is the officiant. He is a great friend to the Williams family! He used to be the bride’s youth pastor when she was in school! He is a huge mentor to her and her family! He has a lovely family and they are crazy but they are Auburn fans. Come on now! But it’s okay, we don’t hold that against him, or do we? But seriously, to know the Presley family is to love them and we are so excited for them to return to Wynne, Ar to marry the soon to be bride and groom.
TJ Williams
DJ
We would like to introduce y’all to TJ THE DJ!!! TJ is the brides little brother! This is something that he loves to do. His main job is at the United States Post Office, but here recently he had decided to start up a side business. He will be willing to play anything you request, but the brides one request is that it isn’t raunchy. She wants a clean and classy yet fun wedding. If you have prior request you can let the bride or groom know and they will make a list to give to DJ! Are y’all ready to party, because I know DJ TJ is!!!
