Maid of Honor
Kimber has been my favorite person (aside from Caleb) since I was four years old. She is the sister I never had and the person who knows me best. She has been with me through all seasons of life and I couldn't imagine life without her.
Best Man
Caleb likes to claim Robert as his best friend but I think Robert is both of ours. Robert has the sweetest soul of anyone I know. I have never heard Rob say an unkind word about anyone. Robert has endless patience and a heart for serving others. I am glad Rob will be by our sides on our wedding day and every day after!
Bridesmaid
Emily is Caleb's sister...but more than that, Emily has become one of my closest friends. She shares Caleb's hilarious sense of humor, is a great listener and is always quick serve and support. I am so excited to get to be Emily's "sister-in-love" for life!
Groomsman
Collin is Caleb's brother-in-law and partner in crime. He is always cracking a joke; however, his real claim to fame is that he loves the Lord and his family well. Collin is a great husband and father to Caleb's niece Riley (aka the cutest child in the world--we know we are a little biased).
Bridesmaid
Whitney is also Caleb's sister, though I have told Caleb from the beginning that Whit should really be my sister because we are so much alike. I am so glad that is finally going to become a reality. Whitney has so many wonderful qualities -- she is kind, empathetic, a great friend and goes out of her way to make everyone feel seen and heard. Whitney is very special to me.
Groomsman
Jon is Caleb's brother-in-law and the only member of the family who is from above the Mason-Dixon Line. We like to pick on Jon incessantly about his "Yankee" status...but honestly, Jon is one of the best people you'd ever meet. He is a truth-speaker, cares about people and is a hard worker. Jon is a great friend to both Caleb and me!
Bridesmaid
Katie is the closest friend I have made in adulthood. We worked together at Croatan High School for four years before Katie decided to stay home to raise her two precious little ones. Katie can make me laugh like few others, is authentic and kind. I look forward to weekly walks with Katie where my heart is full and my legs are tired. Katie is someone I know will be a forever friend and I am SO grateful to have her be a part of our special day!
Groomsman
Ryan is my (the bride's) brother and, in adulthood, one of my close friends. Ryan has been rooting for Caleb and I since the beginning of our relationship as he knew how happy Caleb makes me. Ryan is a great friend. When not snowboarding in Colorado, he is traveling across the US with his girlfriend Lydia. We are happiest when they are home with us but are so proud of the adventurous spirit they both have.
Bridesmaid
Maggie is a wonderful friend and the mother of my favorite four year olds, Beau and Macon...who also happen to be my godchildren. Maggie is loyal, considerate and faithful in our friendship. I can always count on Maggie to put Caleb in his place with a sarcastic comment and a smile. We all need a Maggie.
Groomsman
Bradley is quite possibly the funniest person I have ever met. Bradley has spirit and a heart of gold. He is an amazing friend, father and husband. Caleb has so many wonderful stories about his adventures with Bradley prior to their "death" when they met me and Kelly, Bradley's wife. Saturdays may no longer be for the boys but this Saturday they get to celebrate together!
Bridesmaid
Kristian was my college roommate, best friend and confidant. As a fellow educator (prior to an amazing job change/ opportunity), Kristian understands my love of teaching and impacting the lives of kids...and the struggles that accompany that passion. So many times in my first year of teaching, Kristian was a shoulder I cried on and a friend I laughed till I cried with. Kristian has been my friend through so many seasons of life and I am so thankful she will be with me on this important day!
Groomsman
Tanner has been one of Caleb's best friends for a long time! Tanner is a part of the legendary Greeson clan. He is kind, generous and is a great husband and father. Caleb and I admire he and Tess' marriage and parenting style tremendously. We feel so blessed that they are part of our lives.
Bridesmaid
Lindsey has been one of my longest friends! She was more like an older sister to me growing up. From teaching me to swim to driving to Raleigh to celebrate my 21st birthday, she has been a part of almost every "big" moment in my life. It is only fitting that she would be a part of this one!
Groomsman
Brandon was Caleb's high school best friend...more like a brother. Despite moving across the country to serve our nation, Caleb and Brandon have remained close and treasure each other's friendship. If either read this, both would make fun of me--being with them together is only marginally bearable. Just kidding! We love Brandon (and his wife, Briah)!
Bridesmaid
Emma is one of my favorite people. She is kind, considerate and makes every memory/ experience better. From Ocracoke to Iceland, so many of my favorite memories over the last few years have included Emma! I’m so thankful she is willing to be a part of my wedding party!!
