Logan & McKensie
The Squad
Emily Ward
Maid of Honor
It's a very simple yet a *tad* creepy story: I saw her on a powerpoint and then she fell outside of the sorority house and I knew she had no choice but to be my friend. We bonded over music, critters (especially cats) and our dislike of rude people. A total free spirit and my KD little, we took a huge step in our relationship and moved in together - senior year of college - into a haunted house and adopted a cat. Things got pretty serious and she hasn't been able to get rid of me since! But on a v serious note, people come and go in life especially when you move 8+ hours away post graduating. But, I'm forever thankful that Kenzi has allowed me to be in her circle of life (Lion King Reference) for all these years. She's my bffl that I know I can call for anything and I KNOW Logs will take great care of her (he has no choice or I'll kill him).
Blake Taylor
Best Man
On a cloudy April day, 25 years ago, in a small town in New York, Blake met his best friend for the first time. As the more cooler older brother, logan decided to follow in his older brother footsteps and become cool as well. Thus becoming the "taylor gang". The brotherly bond became strong, and to this day, has not changed nor ever will. As the best man, the audience of this joyous occasion will not be disappointed. "Taylor Gang over everything"

My name is Morgan. I'm Logan's sister. I used to dress him up in Pocahontas bathing suits, although he preferred running around in his underwear. Kenzi just popped up one day and never went away. We besties now. The end.
Carson Podell
Groomsman
Hello, I am Carson Podell. Unfortunately, I have been cursed with being the sibling of the troubled child, Kenzi Podell. However, I am much more interesting than her and more swole than Logan himself. Take a walk with me and listen to his journey to glory. Upon meeting, he witnessed my sheer strength and size, immediately begging on hands and knees to become my apprentice. Thus, The Swole Bros are born. Being the bigger and more handsome half in the duo, I taught Logan the ways of the alpha male, introducing him to the Holy House of Gains. It took years of hard work, but I have transformed him from small bod to muscle god, at the sacrifice of a few brain cells. Taking an extra 2 years to finish school is a small price to pay for chiseled pecks. Anyways, proud to call Logan my Swole Bro, and thankful he took Kenzi into his family, because we can’t handle her anymore. Remember, swole is the goal, size is the prize.
Jessica Herdt
Bridesmaid
It all started in 2009 in either math or history...I don’t remember exactly what sparked the first conversation...I probably needed help with math...but soon after, we were inseparable. We started doing everything together...passing notes, talking about boys, countless weekends at HotWheels, dressing up and taking a truly insane amount of pictures, loads of inside jokes and being (what I can imagine for everyone else) extremely annoying. The friendship continued to grow as we grew. We experienced band, colorguard, and all the craziness of high school...then came the distance and change associated with college. Each new chapter brought new challenges and created so many great memories. The past 10+ years have been a roller coaster, but the best roller coaster I could have ever asked to ride. Logan and Kenzi deserve this “Happily Ever After.” I’m so excited, happy and grateful to be a part of it. (But Kenzi, make sure to tell Logan I’ll always be your “Lover <3”) p.s. I *loe* you.

Logan and I first met in 6th grade at Little River Elementary School. Over the years through mutual friends and social functions Logan and I began to become closer friends. Running around our neighborhood and causing havoc was our usual activity. That continued until we graduated high school and I left for the military. Over those years’ friendships have the tendency to come and go, but Logan was a true friend. He was reliable, trustworthy, and was the friend out of the group that you could always call on for damn near anything. We have stayed in close contact over the past six and a half years since graduating and there is something to say about that. To no surprise Logan and his fiancé have developed this great relationship that I have had the privilege of enjoying and will continue enjoying will being a groomsman in his wedding. I am greatly appreciative of the invitation and I wish you both the best in your future endeavors.

Logan, Throughout all of college, every single party, I asked if you were going be there too. You’re kindness and happiness is infectious, and it makes you a complete joy to be around. From smoking and drinking to the moment you showed me the engagement ring**, you have always been family to me. Kenzi, Our story is very different and has been growing over the past couple years. Although we didn’t start off obsessed with each other, Music Midtown and crafting can make you see the brightness in someone. You are incredibly truthful, understanding, fun, and kind. I’m so excited to see our friendship continue to grow and evolve. I can’t wait to celebrate the beautiful, difficult, and rewarding journey of your marriage. LETS PARTY!!!! **CHIPMUNKS**
James Scharff
Groomsman
Logan, what can I say other than it’s been a hell of a decade? From watching you graduate high school, to Golden Grain on your 21st, and all the late night hookah sessions. When we first met you were introduced as Blake’s little brother, the kid that was bumming our alcohol, but it did not take long for you to join our group as Logan, ONE of us. You are like a brother to me and I will always have your back. Don’t forget: flies fly to it and bees stick to it. (Ya they do) C’Mon now boys let’s do it.
Andrea Wilkinson
Bridesmaid
Kenzi and I met in college at Georgia College. We met at Sorority Bid Day on Front Campus when Kenzi decided to rush Kappa Delta! I was super excited about finding out there was another Music Major in Kappa Delta! We became fast friends taking Wind Symphony and Recital Class together and for the first sorority date night we both took, our now fiancés, to Braves Date Night! Kenzi is one of the most caring, compassionate people that I know and I am so excited to be a part of her and Logan’s day!
Taylor (Tubby) Green
Groomsman
Hello Stranger - names Tubby, Taylor to who I don’t know. Anyways, Logan and I have a long history together. I first met Logan through Blake. It ‘twas my junior year and everywhere Blake went, Logan was sure to follow and take pictures of me pooing in the woods. Then we created our said “brotherhood.” The brothers were nice and that’s how I’ve stuck around.
