Isabelle Wright
Maid of Honor
“Suz and I have been best friends ever since I was born. She has been nothing but kind, supportive, and a huge role model throughout my life. I have got to grow up with her by side through everything and I am so excited to be by her side on her special day. No words could express how excited and happy I am that she has met her soulmate and can’t wait to celebrate her when the day comes!”
Christopher Ives
Best Man
"It's been a real privilege to call Brandon my friend and an honor to call him a brother. He was one of my first friends when I moved to Florida and attended Kathleen middle school! Throughout the years I’ve watched him grow into a caring man, a strong man, a man with strong convictions and integrity, and a man that I admire. Our friendship has not only been long but a strong one! He’s been there for me in my times of need and I’ve seen him through some tough times as well. From walking up and down Kathleen Rd after school to seeing you walk down the aisle is truly an amazing thing and I'm thankful to be apart of such a wonderful moment in your life!"
Faith Carter
Bridesmaid
"Suz and I met through her coming into the coffee shop I was working at. We had some mutual friends and I had just moved home from college and needed a friend. We bonded over anything and everything, which then turned into us finding safe spaces within each other and us creating the most beautiful friendship. We’ve learned together, we’ve grown together. We’ve been best friends for 5 years, but it feels like a lifetime. Suzie is kind, compassionate, gentle, and loyal. I’m so thankful for her and all she’s taught me in our friendship, and I’m excited to watch her love and be loved in her union with Brandon!"

"I love hanging around Brando! He’s such a good guy and is super goofy. Brandon is super helpful and always there when I need him. He takes great care of my sister and is always down to play golf and have a good time! Brandon means a lot to me and I can’t wait to see where the future takes him and Suz!"
Abigail Jones
Bridesmaid
"Suzie and I met about 5 years ago through a mutual friend while we were setting up for a show I was playing in Lakeland. I remember being so surprised that someone I had never met was so willing to help and support me. From that day on I knew I could always count on Suzie! From spontaneous adventures, like Disney park hopping or beach days, to calm moments, like staying in our PJs all day and watching New Girl, I could always count on Suzie to be there with a smile. Now 5 years later I’m so excited to be a part of Suzie and Brandon’s big day!"
Darius Doughty
Groomsman
My best friend, the groom, is the ultimate embodiment of kindness, support, and reliability. We've shared countless adventures and weathered challenges together, emerging stronger and better men through our friendship. His unwavering support in any season of my life made all the difference, and it's a joy to see him embark on this new chapter of his life.

“Suzie and I were introduced through mutual friends about 5 years ago. We immediately hit it off and began spending more time together. Her compassion, sense of humor, creativity, and resilience are just a few of the many qualities that always drew me to Suzie and quickly cemented her as one of my closest friends. We eventually became roommates at an apartment in Tampa and I have really fond memories of the time we lived together. This was the around the same time that Suzie and Brandon started dating and it was great getting to know Brandon and watch their relationship grow. I’m incredibly honored to be apart of this next step in their journey and excited to see all the beauty the future holds for Suzie and Brandon!”

“My dearest Saysy-san, I hope this finds you well. We have too many memories to count but one of the best was the year we all went to Daytona you earned the nickname “tree man” where you broke a tree in half. I’m happy for y’all and can’t wait to keep making more crazy memories. Love you brother. Yours truly, Hisoka-San”

Bridesmaid
"I met Suzie when I was getting introduced to the friend group 3 years ago. We got very close in the last year or so and I couldn’t imagine my life without her! She is truly one of the kindest, selfless, most giving people I know and she is ALWAYS there for me regardless of what she has going on in her life. From line dancing on Saturdays, to concerts, to wine & movie nights at my apartment - she has become a constant in my life and for that I’m eternally grateful. I can’t wait to celebrate her and Brandon in the best way possible!"
Jacob Kowalski
Groomsman
"I met Brandon in high school, he was the captain of the football team and I was the quarterback. We were the best duo Kathleen high school had ever seen. We both graduated high school with high honors and attended Alabama university for 4 years before starting medical school. Brandon decided he no longer wanted to be a surgeon because although his hands were small they weren’t small enough. I eventually went out to be a podiatrist because Brandon always told me feet are the most important part of a human body because he loves feet. I wouldn’t be the man I am today with out my best friend Brandon. PS I introduced him to Suzie!"
Ellie Kowalski
Bridesmaid
"In 2021 when Faith was living with us, Faith introduced Suzie to Jake and I. We instantly fell in love with her - she was adorable and got along well with us and our friends. After meeting Suzie, Jake and I knew we needed to introduce her to Brandon. We’ve known Brandon since high school, and 2014 was the year B and I became better friends. Faith, Jake and I met with Brandon downtown and invited Suzie out for drinks as well. They hit it off instantly. Next thing we know, Brandon is spending his lunch breaks stopping at Suz’s apartment to see her. Since meeting Suzie, we’ve gotten much closer, and now she’s one of my closest friends. With living hundreds of miles away from her, I know that her and I will always be able to count on each other. With all the game nights, birthday parties and line dances later, I could not be more excited to celebrate two of my best friends getting married."
