Wedding Party

Lauren Pounds

Maid of Honor

I can't remember when I first met Lauren, but we began to become close friends when we served on the Executive Council of our NWA/AMS (weather nerds) organization. Lauren has helped me through many stressful situations during my upperclassman and graduate school days with many phone conversations filled with both laughter and tears. Whenever I need advice on something, she is the first person I go to. I can't remember a time without Lauren in my life and I'm not sure how I got through stressful times in the past without her.

Madeleine Gillis Johnston

Bridesmaid

Maddie and I have known each other since sixth grade and have been best friends ever since! Both growing up in military families enabled our bond and our friendship to grow throughout the years! She has been there for me through every major life event and I can always rely on her to be a phone call away.

Erica Williams

Bridesmaid

Although Erica and I have not know each other for a long time, we quickly became close friends when she began dating one of Jackson and I's close friends. I cherish our friendship that has grown so much in the past few years and have been so thankful to walk through these seasons of dating and engagement with her.

Caroline Adcock

Bridesmaid

Growing up as an only child, I have always longed for the day that I would have a sibling. I am so thankful that I will be gaining not only a husband through Jackson and I's marriage, but a sister as well. P.S. I can't wait for Kappa Delta Nationals to be confused when there are TWO Caroline Adcocks.

Emily Crace Reeves

Bridesmaid

Like Erica, I have not know Emily that long but have quickly bonded with her over our similarities. She and I became closer friends by taking Pure Barre classes together, because nothing builds a friendship like crying with shaking muscles. Since Emily got married last summer, she has been so instrumental and helpful through Jackson and I's relationship and this season of engagement. Anytime I have questions, she is always there for me and always tells me how it is (which is always good to hear).

Laura Freeman

Bridesmaid

Laura was my first friend that I made in college. After moving from Colorado, I knew no one entering my time at MSU. Laura and I both joined Kappa Delta, met shortly after bid day, and have been friends ever since! Laura has always pushed me to be a better version of myself and has pushed me in my faith. I love watching how she serves our Lord with all her heart and how she encourages others (like myself) in their walk with Jesus. Although she is now in Colorado (funny how roles reversed), I know she is never more than a phone call away.

Shaina Wilburn

Bridesmaid

Shaina and I met each other at MSU through our meteorology curriculum. We quickly became friends after realizing how similar of lives and events in life we have shared (honestly it's almost like a parallel universe). She has helped me so much through challenging life conversations and is always someone I can rely on when I need to talk about things.
