Tommie & Wes
Wedding Party
Katie Griffin
Bridesmaid
Katie and I met in second grade and have been friends ever since! The boy crazy blonde and the shy wallflower brunette have been through it all together so it’s only fitting she will be standing by my side.
Emily Michael
Bridesmaid
We met at Hugos in college (IYKYK) and became FAST friends. We have seriously not stopped dancing or laughing since. I owe all of my Botox laugh line bills to her.
Brooke Combs
Bridesmaid
Brooke and I had a lot of mutual friends in college so it was only fitting that we quickly became best friends to each other. We spent every night pregaming with Arbor Mist and dancing to The Cupid Shuffle. While we may drink much higher quality beverages now, The Cupid Shuffle will never die.
Madi Newton
Bridesmaid
Madi and I have casually known each other forever through mutual friends and the small world that is Lexington. But fate brought us together last year after her long hiatus away from Kentucky and thankfully a forever friendship was instantly formed.
Steven Ramirez
Bridesman
Every girl needs a best guy friend and Steven has been that for me for over 15 years now. The most loyal and protective friend that can also party with the best of them. Yes, he will be standing on MY side of the aisle! #baldisbetter
Macon Miller
Bridesmaid
Ah, the dream sister-in-law! Macon is kind, welcoming, and downright hilarious. She is the perfect addition to an amazing group of friends that I am so excited to share this day with. Also, we’re stocking the White Claws for her!
Austin Wilson
Best Man
Austin and I met when he was fresh outta the womb. I was NOT thrilled. But, we’ve overcome our differences, and as you know, are basically the same person today: quiet, thoughtful, wise. Nobody I’d rather have making sure I can coherently say “I Do.”
Will Hicks
Groomsman
I’ve known Will longer than I’ve known myself. That could come back to bite me. He is now a father of 12, but in reality, he’s been practicing on me for at least 30 years. Time to pass the torch.
Ben Cloyd
Groomsman
There’s no telling how we exactly met (it involved baseball, duh) or when Ben weaseled himself into my life, but one day we were both just there. I can unequivocally say that he is a better person for it having happened. Here’s to hoping “Doc” isn’t on-call on November 20.
Taylor Dugas
Groomsman
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t shack on the first encounter with Dugas. He, Smitty, and I pushed two beds together to make room for Dugie when he just needed a couple of friends. I’m glad we kept him around, although I could’ve used a few more hitting lessons for my sacrifice.
Alex Smith
Groomsman
Smitty and I go back to his tryout for the Yankees, when I had to calm him down before he passed out without getting a chance to throw. We’ve been working on breathing exercises ever since. I also officiated his wedding, and so far, he can thank me for it. My most common roommate not named Ward and Susan, we’ve spent more nights on an air mattress wondering when we were getting cut than I care to admit.
Drew Dalton
Groomsman
A teammate, then a friend, a voice of reason, but mostly the voice in my backswing telling me to “lay up”, Drew has been around forever. Depending on the time of the UK game on wedding day, Drew will either be coming from Kroger Field or streaming the game during the ceremony.
Brett Gerritse
Groomsman
Brett only agreed to take part in the wedding because I told him he didn’t get a plus one. Or because he attributes most of his success as a pitcher to having me behind the plate. Either way, it’s a real treat for him.
