Shelby & Jeff
Wedding Party
Gabby Payette
Maid of Honor
If my brother Taylor ever did anything good for me it was adding Gabby to the family! Over the years that they have been together, Gabby has become one of my closest friends. She is a life-of-the-party kind of person that brings joy to every room. Gabby is the kind of friend who always shows up for her people. She is constant, supportive, and kind and I am so lucky to have her stand by my side on one of the most important days of my life! Conversation starters for Gabby: her dog Asher, her kindergarten class, and her happy face T-shirt after a long night :-)
Allie Everett
Matron of Honor
Allie is my sister-in-law and one of the strongest women that I know. I can always count on Allie to give the best advice and encourage me to step outside my comfort zone. Allie never misses a chance to celebrate her people and is the perfect addition to our family. I am so grateful that I have had Allie as a role model over the last few years and I can't imagine my wedding without her by my side! Conversation starters for Allie: Her bernedoodles & Clemson athletics
Kinlee Maples
Bridesmaid
Kinlee and Jeff have grown up together and I am fortunate enough to have gotten to grow my own friendship with Kinlee over the years. Really, Kinlee and her husband are more like family to Jeff and I. Kinlee is one of the most consistent friends I have ever had. She is the type of friend that doesn't judge me if I show up to her house in pajamas or fall asleep by 10:00. I know that if I ever need anything, Kinlee would be at my doorstep in five minutes flat. I couldn't imagine my wedding day without her by my side! Conversation starters for Kinlee: Her daughter Everlee (aka my tiny bestie), photography, Grey's Anatomy
Shelby Allison
Bridesmaid
Shelby and I met through OT school when we randomly decided to live together before ever meeting in person. All I can say is THANK GOODNESS for that decision because it brought me one of my closest friends! Shelby is logical and level-headed but fun and light-hearted all at the same time. She is probably the smartest person I know and the most reliable friend. I truly wouldn't have made it through the toughest three years of OT school without her and I know that she and I have created a lifelong friendship. I am so grateful to have Shelby stand by my side for my big day! Her turn next :-) Conversation starters for Shelby: A good book, all things OT, her dogs Penny and Stella
Nikki Sterling
Bridesmaid
Nikki and I became friends throughout college. I don't think I have ever met anyone more like myself than Nikki! She is one of the most genuine people I have ever met and I am so lucky to have her as one of my closest friends. Nikki and I can go months without seeing each other and then pick right back up where we left off. I can't imagine my wedding day without Nikki there to celebrate with me! Conversation starters for Nikki: Her preschool kiddos, her dogs, all things boat and lake
Brayden Huff
Bridesman
Brayden and I have been through quite literally every season of life together. We became friends in elementary school and continued our friendship throughout middle and high school and into adulthood. Brayden was my junior prom date and roommate after high school graduation. He is the one I call when I want to be spontaneous (like going to buy a puppy without telling anyone). Brayden is full of life and brings the best energy to any room. I am so fortunate to have gotten to grow up with Brayden by my side, so I can't imagine a milestone like my wedding without him! Conversation starters for Brayden: the lake, music, and his new baby niece
Tyler Maples
Best Man
Tyler has been one of my closest friends for well over a decade now at this point. Tyler teaches me how to have a better heart every moment I'm with him. He has one of the biggest hearts I know and I always look up to the man he is. I couldn't ask for a better best man for the best night of my life. Conversation Starters: His daughter Everlee, Celtics, flooring.
Taylor Everett
Groomsman
Since meeting Shelby, I've been fortunate enough to build strong relationships with her brothers. Taylor is easily the goofiest man I know and can bring a smile to anybody's face. Taylor and I have become brothers over the years, and I'm so thankful to have him stand beside me on the big day! Conversation Starters: His dog Asher, NFL Sunday,
Morgan Everett
Groomsman
I've also been lucky to become brothers with Morgan over the years. One of my favorite things to do in this world is to sit outside late at night with Morgan and just talk and listen to some good music. Morgan is an inspiration and I'm so thankful to have him next to me for our wedding. Conversation Starters: His dog Remi, sports, lake
Deion Blackwell
Groomsman
Deion is another of my friends that I've been fortunate enough to be close with for over a decade. Deion and I share a special relationship filled with competition, betting each other stupid stuff, and many laughs. D might not say anything to you at first, but once he knows you, watch your arms, cause he will pinch them lollol. I'm so happy to have you standing with me on my wedding day! Conversation Starters: Ask him about the parlay he hit.
Eric Berman
Groomsman
Bert and I have become close friends for several years now. He is always up to do something fun and get beat in some golf! I'm excited to have him stand beside me on this special day. Conversation Starters: Golf, Call of duty, any sports, flooring
Brandan Foster
Groomsman
Foster and I met through work over 8 years ago. During this time, we were roommates, peers at work, and became best buds. Foster is one of the best people you can talk to. He might not know anything you're talking about, but he'll keep the conversation going until you're finished lol. I'm hype to have him next to me on the big day! Conversation Starters: Lifting, stocks, anything honestly
Nick Ogle
Groomsman
Nick is my cousin, but I call him my big brother. I have always looked up to this man, who has been an idol for me growing up. Nick is a professional talker. Sometimes Nick and I will end our conversation on the phone, but not hang up for 10 additional minutes while we say bye in different ways. It's honor to have him be with me on this special day. Conversation starters: his daughter Reese, sports, business
