Wedding Party
Jada
Maid of Honor
From Taylor: Jada has been my best friend since Kindergarten, 18 years!!! She can read my mind from 100 miles away and we have gone through so many major milestones growing up together. She is always a ray of sunshine that can turn anyone's day from sour to sweet. She has the biggest heart and is so devoted to every goal and relationship she creates making her immensely loyal and hardworking. She cares so deeply for all of the important people in her life and to know her is to love her. Special thank you to her for walking beside me through so much and for being my maid of honor!
Alan
Best Man
From Travis: Alan and I first met in Kindergarten in Mrs. Cunningham's class. It all started when I asked him, "Aren't you a little too short to be in Kindergarten?" and then he told on me. Ever since then we have been best friends and I can truly say he is like a brother to me. Alan is a very determined and hardworking individual who built his own business from the ground up while also scrubbing it up on the Motocross track. He is very personable and witty, always there when I need him. He's always been my #1 choice for my best man and I couldn't imagine getting married without him up there beside me.
Emily
Bridesmaid
From Taylor: Emily and I met Freshman year of high school and immediately I knew she was going to be someone I adored. We have the same sense of humor and spent so many of our days in class together laughing hysterically, as we still do now. She has always had my back and been there for me through so much. I am constantly in awe of how incredibly kindhearted and smart she is. She is always putting everyone around her before herself without hesitation and endlessly takes care of others! Emily also predicted Travis and I would get married before anyone else! ;)
Will
Groomsman
From Travis: I've known this guy for my entire life but that's because he was born first. Will is my older brother and he has made sure to live up to that role. Through tough love and his own experiences, Will has taught me so much throughout the years. One important lesson being that just because you wear a blanket as a cape, it doesn't mean you can fly from a bunk bed. He is my greatest competitor and my closest ally. We might not always get along but we'll always be brothers. I'm so proud of the life you have made for yourself and the father you have become for Jaxon.
Sophie
Bridesmaid
From Taylor: Sophie and I have been friends since 2nd grade! We would play with daddy long leg spiders on the playground together and now I somehow have severe arachnophobia haha! Being around Sophie and her love for animals definitely rubbed off on me. She can make an instant bond with anything. She is also very creative and inventive, picking up a new hobby like its nothing. I am so thankful we have stayed close for so long and always love spending time together because no situation is ever dull or boring with her around! Sophie is also doing all of the bridesmaids hair for the wedding day, so special shout out to her amazing styling skills and devotion to helping me have a wonderful wedding! She is simply the best.
Aidan
Groomsman
From Travis: Aidan is Taylor's brother and one of the smartest guys I know. Aidan is currently studying at Virginia Tech to get his degree in Chemical Engineering. While it hasn't been the easiest, he has shown great perseverance and dedication to complete this tremendous achievement like he always does with any task at hand. He is also pretty passionate about food and has become an amazing cook from all of his years spent working at multiple restaurants as an experienced chef and line cook. While he might roast you in good fun, Aidan is very laid back and a great guy to have around. I am grateful to be gaining a brother-in-law like you.
Katherine
Bridesmaid
From Taylor: I am abundantly blessed to have known Katherine since birth! She is my cousin and also like a sister to me. I am beyond thankful our family is so tight knit and we have gotten to grow up together. From family vacations, to holiday gatherings, playing tennis together, game nights, and all of the fun adventures in between, there is no one I'd rather get to do it with! We have also both mastered the art of wrecking the family go-kart and I think that alone will bond us forever LOL! She is by far the kindest person I know, with a smile that lights up any room and she always has the most calming energy no matter the situation.
Andrew
Groomsman
From Travis: Andrew is Taylor's cousin and ever since I met him, he is always someone that you will find with a smile on his face. When he's not at the gym, you can find him working on his degree in Business Administration from J Sargeant Reynolds Community College. Andrew is a man of many hobbies; he is very good at fixing up anything with an engine, has a passion for riding dirt bikes, and he might just scare you if you have to return his serve in a tennis match! He is always on the go, ready for anything, and such a kind person to be around. Thank you for helping to support us on our big day!
Riley
Bridesmaid
From Taylor: Riley is Travis's sister and my sister-in-law to be! I am so lucky to be gaining a sister like Riley, because we have so much in common and get along like two peas in a pod! We share a deep love for animals, like the same music, and even play the same video games! Riley has such a kind soul and wouldn't hurt a fly. She is super creative with an extraordinary ability to draw, paint, mold, build, and make anything art related. It has been so wonderful getting to know her over the past 7 years and witness all of the incredible things she continues to achieve. I am so looking forward to all of the fun adventures to come together!
Brantley
Groomsman
From Travis: Brantley is the coolest little brother I could ask for. He's always down for anything and passionate about the things he loves. That being said, I challenge you to name more WWE wrestlers than he can...spoiler alert, you can't. His positive attitude and ear to ear grin make him such a fun person to be around. Anytime we spend playing video games, sports, or just hanging out is so special to me. I am so proud of all you have accomplished and continue to accomplish. I'm so happy you will be standing by my side on my wedding day!
Peyton
Bridesmaid
From Taylor: Peyton and I met in 2nd grade, during our first business venture as high quality bookmark makers at our indoor recess store. LOL! In all seriousness, Peyton is such a special person in my life. We bonded quickly through soccer and became instantly attached at the hip. Even after all of the carpool rides, crazy coaches, school adventures, and celebrations we are still so close! Peyton always goes after exactly what she deserves and never settles for less. Her confidence and intelligence is so admirable, I have always looked up to her! I love that I can always talk to her about anything and she supports me to no end.
Shea
Groomsman
From Travis: Shea and I have also been friends since Kindergarten. Our shared love for baseball formed a bond that cannot be broken. Since we started playing baseball at a young age, Shea and I have been friends, teammates, and brothers. We still to this day play ball against each other in Richmond's NABA league. He's always been dedicated and willing to do whatever he needs to for his team, friends, and family. His personality is very easy going, down to earth, and always ready for a good time. Currently him and Alan own a carpentry business together and have paved their own path from the ground up.
Lindsey
Bridesmaid
From Taylor: Lindsey and I met during freshman year of high school and we had the "pleasure" of being CFA cows together haha! Lindsey has been such a big part of my life, but also a big part of Travis and I's relationship with us all working together. She has been there from the start and it is so special to have her as a part of our big day. Lindsey has the most infectious laugh and sweet personality. She will go to bat for any of her friends and she gets along with literally everyone. I am so grateful for every hilarious and crazy memory we have together! I can still picture us playing baseball as the cows, running the bleachers for class, and eating an insane amount of chicken sandwiches after 10pm.
Bryson
Groomsman
From Travis: Bryson was there with us from the start. The first time I ever hung out with Taylor was after a shift at CFA with Bryson. The 3 of us went to Target to get him some Honey Buns, and the rest is history. We have so many crazy memories of working at CFA and the shenanigans with the rest of our old crew. He is as loyal and trustworthy as they come and is always down for anything. Bryson lives life with an open mind and an adventurous spirit. You can find Bryson pulling apart a vehicle and putting it back together like a pro, traveling, taking insanely good photos with his fancy camera, or working hard at achieving his goal of becoming a pilot.
