Wedding Party
Cami Samples
Maid of Honor
Cami is my one and only sister. Although we are five years apart in age, we have a very close relationship. She has always been more to me than a sister, she has been a best friend, partner in crime, the comedian even when I don't feel like laughing. When I transitioned into motherhood, I often was anxious on how that might change the dynamic of our relationship as sisters; if anything it has made our bond stronger. Cami has been my go to and my rock and has always stepped in with support for me and Ty. To me, she is the perfect sister and I couldn't imagine anyone else more perfect in the role as Maid of Honor. Cami started college in January of 2021 and plans to pursue a career in nursing with plans to specialize in NICU care.
Allison Samples
Bridesmaid
Ally is my cousin, since birth we have always been close and I have always considered her as a sister. We grew up just around the corner from each other and share so many memories growing up with one another. Ally is the kind of person that no matter what is going on in life, she will always be there for you at the drop of a hat. I have always been able to count on her and that is one of the many reasons she is my bridesmaid. Ally currently attends McLennan Community College in Waco, TX and plans to pursue a career in the medical field as a Labor and Delivery Nurse.
Ana Reasonover
Bridesmaid
I met Ana a little over 3 years ago through our good friend Shawn when they started dating. Immediately, I knew Ana was the perfect piece missing to our friend group and we quickly became close. I was so excited when Shawn shared with us that he was going to make it official with her and knew I’d have a good friend for life. Ana is the honest friend you need even when you don’t want to hear the truth, the grey needed to any problem or solution and has always had a way about her that can bring joy to any room she enters. Ana has been an amazing support and friend throughout this past year for me through all of our life changes and circumstances. I couldn’t of pictured anyone else to have as a bridesmaid for the special day we finally get to have.
Troy Thedford
Best Man/Ring Bearer
Let me start off by saying there is not a single person in this whole galaxy I trust more than to carry our rings down the aisle! I am so lucky to have my brother play this role in my wedding. Troy is one of the most funniest people I have ever known and not to mention he's the best Bruncle to our son, Tobias! He takes his role seriously and his love has no boundaries. I know with all my heart he is going to do an outstanding job at delivering our rings to us and when I look down at my ring I will remember I wouldn't be able to wear it without him!
Shawn Reasonover
Groomsman
My friendship with Shawn began a little over 9 years ago in 2012 our freshman year of high school. We met in algebra class and immediately became friends. My first impression of Shawn was that he was an extremely hard worker. He is a very determined person, always made good grades and seemed to know what he wanted. I was a pretty unsure person so having someone like Shawn in my life really shaped me into the man I am today. With that said, being 13/14 year old boys we grew up together and did stupid things we will talk about to this day. But, during those years Shawn has always been a loyal friend, someone to look up to and someone who was always there through the hardest of times. I am lucky to have him in my life and for him to play the role of Groomsmen at my wedding.
Clayton Wilks
Groomsman
I first met Clayton through a mutual friend sophomore year of high school about 8 years ago. I was always shocked at how much knowledge he had about many topics. I always remember thinking to ask Clayton before Google because 9/10 times he was right (I still do that to this day). The most admiral thing about Clayton is that no matter who you were, family or friend he was always there; not just when you needed him to be but even when you didn't think you did. One of the best qualities of Clayton is that he is very unapologetically honest. I am honored to have him stand alongside me and support my decision to marry. I know he will continue to be that person for me well into the future. Clayton graduated at the University of Texas at Tyler with a Bachelor's in Health and Wellness May 2021.
