Jake and Courtney
Wedding Party
Joseph Manning
Best Man
I met Jake when we were about 3 in the old Overpass Steakhouse. We spent over an hour playing with a helicopter in the back room and have been best friends ever since.

i have known Courtney all of my life, our relationship started off a little rocky. as a young child i longed for courtney’s attention, which she gave me sometimes.. i may have been a bit annoying because i followed her everywhere, i thought she was amazing.. and the funny thing is i still do. as we got older we grew closer and closer, turns out she is the big sister that i have always wanted. she has always been there for me even in the rocky days and i will always be there for her, because she truly is my best friend and i love her so very much :).

Jake and Hunter have been longtime friends since high school. Jake and Hunter always are down to cook and grill for Courtney and Sarah so we all can hang out. We are excited for Hunter to stand by Jake on the Big Day!

Wow, where do I even start? Court and I have been friends for years! We have many many stories.. From playing softball together, youth leadership together, our childhood, and now adulthood. It’s been a crazy and fun journey and I can’t wait for many more years of friendship as she takes on being a wife! Love you court! I’m always an airplane ride away when Jake is being annoying😉
Hamp Murphy
Groomsman
I met Jake my sophomore year of high school, and have been great friends ever since. We initially bonded through our mutual love of guns, the outdoors, and America. We also bonded over our mutual hatred of math (and school in general). I still hate them, and I know he does too. That's friendship.
Abby Dean
Bridesmaid
I'd only been dating Dylan a few months when I met Courtney, but you'd of thought I'd been at every family event . She immediately pulled me from Dylan who I'd been following like a lost puppy, and took me with her to do something else. She was so accepting and inclusive from the get go and has turned into one of my favorite people.
Rick Vanderveen
Groomsman
I met Jake through Joesph, and when we began hanging out we found a mutual love for the outdoors. We began pursuing game often with each other. From then on, he has been one of my closest friends.
Enedina Castro
Bridesmaid
Courtney and I first met her freshman, my sophomore year, at Perry High in Mrs. Russo’s french class. It started out with us sitting next to each other sharing answers....then the funny insider jokes, secrets began to grow as well as our friendship. I remember talking to her about all of our problems we were facing everyday and cracking up from all the jokes that were said, all while snacking and we always brought for each other. I swear I had never laughed more than I did when I was with her! She has always been an amazing, supportive friend no matter the situation and I am beyond blessed to have her by my side! Thank you for always being so positive through every situation! After all these heartbreaks Court I’m so glad you found a man that treats you like the amazing woman you are!
Dalton Wilkerson
Groomsman
I met Jake at an FFA meeting freshman year of high school through our friend group. Joesph actually introduced us as we were eating low country boil, then we played corn hole afterward. We have been friends from then on.
Hope Johnson
Flower Girl
Hope's Mom, Micaela Johnson, helped me (Courtney) with this a lot, but here is Hope's "How We Met (Courtney)" from her point of view. "I know her as Cookie." So, Micaela asked "How we met?", and Hope said, "Duh, Mommie she is my cookie." When Hope was asked about how she met Jake, she said "I don't know, I am too small."
Madelynn & Maybree Spell
Jr. Bridesmaids
Madelynn and Maybree are Jake's little cousins. Jake and Courtney are super excited to have these cute and sassy little girls stand by their sides at the wedding!
Zach & Levi Wright
Ring Bearer
These boys have been Courtney's little besties since she moved to Brunswick for school. She keeps them on and off year-round for Deanna and Garrett Wright. She is super excited for them to be in the wedding.
