Matron of Honor
Taylor and I met thanks to her now husband, Brett. He excitedly introduced Taylor and I, when she moved to Georgia in the summer of 2023. We became fast friends. Taylor has a wise and welcoming presence. She is someone I turn to for anything. Taylor and Brett have had such a impact on James and I's relationship and we are so excited that they are both part of our big day. Taylor is humble and kind and everything I could ever ask for in a Matron of Honor.
Best Man
Brett and I met in 2023 at a steak night hosted by our good friends. We quickly bonded over our times in Charlottesville and growing up playing lacrosse. Brett and I became even closer friends through our small group and on camping expeditions to North Georgia. Brett has been there throughout Anna's and my relationship, and him and Taylor have been a great example of a God centered relationship. Couldn't ask for a better guy to stand next to me.
Bridesmaid
Maggie and I met at church in early 2023. We instantly bonded on our similar music taste, and quickly became close as we learned that we had so much more in common than just music. Maggie was the original James and Anna supporter. She was the first person who knew I had feelings for James. Maggie is a constant grounding energy in the craziness of life. Her love and support is a blessing and something that I cannot live without; especially on the big day.
Groomsman
Will and I first became roommates when he moved to Atlanta in the fall of 2023. Will and I became close when I would work from home and enjoy talking about music to get through the day. He is one of the most stand up and hardest working guys I know and I am happy to call him one of my closest friends. Cannot wait to have him standing with me as I tie the knot.
Bridesmaid
Payton and I met behind the blocks at a summer league swim meet at just 5 years old. Our friendship has spanned 20 years, living in different states, spontaneous trips, and every single stage of life. I have always imagined my wedding with Payton by my side. It was simply a no-brainer for her to be a part of the big day.
Groomsman
Clay and I have been working together for over three years now and have spent over two of those years sharing an office. Clay was the person who invited me to Christ Covenant where Anna and I met, and a great supporter of our relationship since its beginning. We have endured many stressful days and spent many fun days together in our 13'x14' box. So excited to have one of by closest friends and favorite coworker standing with me.
Bridesmaid
Emily and I were roommates the last three years of college. Ironically, the first year of living together we rarely spoke. After moving into a house our junior year, we learned we had more in common than not. Emily provides an endless supply of laughter, sing-a-longs, and is my go-to concert buddy. We've been to at least 10 together so far. I cannot imagine saying "i do" without her next to me.
Groomsman
Aidan and I became friends while attending Wentworth and both studied construction management. Aidan is one of the most adventurous guys I know and would always bring the best of people out. He is one of 7 of my close college friends who would spend almost every day together. We all would enjoy exploring Boston, taking beach trips together, and playing pickup basketball or throwing a frisbee at the park. Aidan is a great representation of all of the Boston guys and I am very excited to have him apart of the big day.
Bridesmaid
Ansley and I met and became friends through our mission trip to Israel during the summer of 2023. I have been lucky to have her in my small group since the fall of 2023. We get to dig deep into life and pour into each other through every season. Her kindness and warmth bring peace to anyone who is around her. I am so lucky to have her stand by my side!!
Groomsman
Butler and I met one Tuesday night at Christ Covenant and welcomed me into a phenomenal group of guys who helped me grow in my relationship with the Lord. Butler was the person who invited me to play pickleball where Anna and I met and he has been by my side for Anna's and my entire relationship. Butler also stood by my side during my baptism and I am looking forward to him standing with me on the big day.
Bridesmaid
Emma and I met exactly one week after I met James. Emma is one of the most inviting people I have ever met. We met in the spring of 2023 and by the summer of 2023 we saw each other almost every single day. Only breaking the streak when I left for Israel middle of June. Her joy is contagious and her zest for life is inspiring. She is easily the best hype-person to anyone lucky enough to call her friend and a necessary presence on the big day.
Groomsman
Nolan and I met in the spring of 2023 playing golf together. He has been one of the biggest supporters of our relationship since the beginning. Nolan has a huge heart and is always the first to compliment someone. He is also a member of my small group and a heck of a pickleball partner. Excited to be joined by such a great man.
