Ian Orr
Best Man
Ian and Connor have been inseparable since their kindergarten days. What began as a childhood friendship over kickball and video games has grown into a lifelong bond built on loyalty and countless memories. Ian is an Appalachian State University alumni and serves in the North Carolina National Guard. There’s no one better suited to be the best man than someone who’s truly been there since the very beginning.
Kaitlyn Mills
Bridesmaid
Since the preschool days Kaitlyn and Annika now have almost two decades of friendship. A bond full of love, laughter, and authenticity. Kaitlyn attended Appalachian State University and is currently living in Chapel Hill, NC. Hard to forget the endless moments of flipping pancakes in the mornings after sleepovers; or their spur of the moment facetime calls about anything under the sun.
Bryan Walker
Groomsman
Meeting at 10 years old in the cul-de-sac of Connor’s child hood home, Bryan was the new kid on the block, and they connected quickly. Whether it would be throwing bread at the neighborhood ducks, getting into trouble on the bus, or playing a good old game of tree magnet, they were side by side almost everyday for years. Bryan is a Wake Tech graduate and a business owner who has a passion for almost anything with an engine.
Madison Joyce
Bridesmaid
Madison and Annika have had a strong friendship since they were 4 years old. Kaitlyn, Madison and Annika all grew up doing dance together. As will be evident on the wedding night, they were all terrible at dance even after years of classes. Madison is the life of the party - she'll never fail to bring fun energy and good times. Some of the best memories of their long time friendship were at the many parties she'd host. She'll always have a good story to share, and will always be there for whoever and whatever they may need.
Jackson Garrison
Groomsman
Connor and Jackson knew they would be the best of friends since the first day he walked into Ms. Spaulding’s 3rd Grade trailer. Although he’s never watched his Dallas Cowboys win a Superbowl, his compassion and dedication are always evident, just like his friendship to Connor. Jackson is an East Carolina University alumni who currently lives in Raleigh, NC. If you’re looking for a strong drink, he’ll hook you up.
