Maid of Honor
Aly is Taylor’s little sister, born just 11 months apart, meaning they’ve been inseparable from the very start. More than sisters, they’ve been best friends for a lifetime, sharing endless laughter, unforgettable adventures, and an unbreakable bond. Aly’s wild spirit and sense of humor keep life interesting. She’s always the life of the party, and if you haven’t laughed until your stomach hurts with her, you’re missing out. The two even went to the same college together because, well, Aly couldn't imagine being away from Taylor for too long (and honestly, who can blame her?). Aly’s one-of-a-kind personality and big heart make her truly unforgettable, and Taylor couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her by her side as Maid of Honor!
Best Man
Louie and Gage met while they were in the military at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. Louie and Gage quickly built a bond that would end up being more than just guys who met in the military. They share a lot of interests like music, a love for coffee, hitting the gym, and always aspiring for something great. Gage knew the first time they hung out that Louie was going to be a lifelong friend. "Also, Louie is frail."
Bridesmaid
Hayley and Taylor first met in 3rd grade during Poms, but their friendship truly took off during 7th grade History class. Countless sleepovers at each other’s houses were spent creating some truly ridiculous homemade YouTube videos (which, thank goodness, are lost to history) where they laughed until their stomachs hurt. Over the years, their bond has only grown stronger, and one of their favorite things to do now is visit wineries together. Hayley’s kindness, loyalty, and fun-loving spirit have made her an unforgettable part of Taylor’s life, and Taylor is beyond grateful to have her by her side on this special day!
Groomsman
Troy and Gage met through mutual friends, and their friendship grew from there. Over time, they found themselves hanging out more often since the rest of the group refused to hit the bars... they’re lame like that. But not Troy and Gage because they’re the kind of guys who always made it out for a good time. In 2022, they had no choice but to grow closer when Gage invited Troy out for Taylor's birthday celebration, where Troy met Aly. Little did they know, that night would mark the beginning of Troy and Aly’s relationship. Fast forward to now, and Gage has to deal with his future brother-in-law who, every single year, still believes "This is the Cowboys' year."
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Haley first met through cheer in middle school, where trust was everything, whether it was Taylor counting on Haley to catch her during stunts or trusting her in their lifelong friendship. From surviving countless cheer camps to Friday night football games, and spending nearly every weekend together (often with a bottle of wine in hand and some questionable late-night Taco Bell runs), they’ve made endless memories. Haley’s big personality is impossible to ignore, and her unwavering support and caring heart make her an irreplaceable friend. Taylor is beyond grateful to have her by her side on this special day!
Groomsman
Chris and Gage met in 2009 through Gage's cousin, DeShawn, also Chris' best friend. The day they met, they were getting into some dumb stuff that built a lifetime of stories, and the rest is history! Chris and Gage share a love for the Philadelphia Eagles (GO BIRDZZZZ), and have spent actual days worth of time play video games together. Chris and Gage have been through hell and back in some situations, and through many other friendships and really rough nights, but they stuck through it all. "Chris, I know you love it, but Bacardi sucks."
Bridesmaid
Brooke and Taylor became friends in 5th grade when they met through cheerleading. From cheer camp to football games and late-night sleepovers, they made unforgettable memories throughout high school and into college. And let’s not forget their mini golden doodles... because nothing says "friendship goals" like two girls and their ridiculously cute dogs, right? Brooke is one of the most reliable, supportive, and genuinely caring people Taylor knows, and honestly, she can’t imagine surviving this wedding day (or life) without her by her side!
Groomsman
Eli and Gage first met 16 years ago when they lived in the same neighborhood, just five houses apart. They spent a lot of time and summers together, always finding ways to have fun. Gage helped Eli get into sound systems for vehicles and chasing the bass. Eli and Gage both served in the US Navy, enduring tough times that ultimately laid the foundation for the lives they’ve built since leaving the military. Eli is one of Gage's oldest friends and now only lives two hours away from Gage in Florida. "Eli, my back still hurts from when you tackled me through your big screen TV at your mom's house."
Bridesmaid
Rileigh, Dylan’s girlfriend, quickly became like a sister to Taylor with her kindness, warmth, and fun-loving spirit. She cherishes making memories with Taylor and her family at country concerts, and she loves visiting Taylor and Gage in Florida. The two also share a love for Cricut crafting and have bonded over their nerdy school interests. Taylor is beyond grateful to have Rileigh's love and support on her wedding day!
Groomsman
Dylan, Taylor’s brother, and Gage first met when Dylan was 12, and over the years, their friendship has grown. Gage would often show up to watch Dylan’s travel baseball games with Taylor. Dylan probably only visits Florida to check out some new truck tires or a John boat from Facebook Marketplace, but hey, Taylor’s glad to have her brother by her side, and Gage is lucky to have him as a brother-in-law. Oh, and "This guy can’t fish."
Groomsman
Brandon and Gage met through mutual friends and consistently hung out with their group enjoying dumb trivia games, watching UFC fights, and watching football on Sundays during the NFL season. Their friendship grew even stronger during COVID when they spent hours playing Call of Duty and hitting the golf course to pass the time. "Brandon, unfortunately Washington will waste yet another QB's talent. Great playoff wins last year though."
Officiant
Dustin and Gage met 16 years ago also! No, this is not Eli, it's his twin brother. Dustin is the other longest standing friend of Gage's. Dustin and Gage have spent countless nights together growing up, and have been there for each other through some of the hardest time in their lives. Even when they have made each other mad, they stuck around for each other. Gage thinks of Dustin and Eli as brothers that he never had. Dustin and Gage have always been super close, but through their support and faith in Jesus Christ, they have grown closer even though they live hundreds of miles apart. Gage chose Dustin to take on the Officiant role because of his unbothered faith in Jesus, his brotherhood, and Gage could not think of anyone better to guide Taylor and his vows in front of God. "Dustin, the Ravens are absolutely awful and you will probably never see another Superbowl win from them."
