Wedding Party
Mary Benefield
Bridesmaid
Mary Margaret and I have been best friends since we were in second grade, and I've dreamt about her being in my wedding since then. We've been through it all together - the awkward pre-teen years, high school, college, and a few fun spring break beach trips - and I truly do not know what I would do without her. She lives in Denver, Colorado, now, but that hasn't changed our friendship one bit. I can count on her to set me straight when I need it and she has amazing playlist-making skills for road trip sing-alongs. Mary Margaret has a huge heart and I'm so thrilled that she will be standing with me on my wedding day.
AnnaGrace Henson
Bridesmaid
AnnaGrace is the oldest of Tyler's little sisters. She is really good at volleyball and super artistic! We have bonded over our affinity for cats and everything to do with them. AG is starting at the University of West Georgia this fall, so for a few short months, we will be students at the same school. We even work at the same law firm! I'm so happy to gain yet another sister in AnnaGrace!
Mary Kathryn Horsley
Bridesmaid
My and Mary Kathryn's friendship is filled with sarcasm but the most ironic thing is that we both did not like each other when we met in eighth grade. To add to the irony, we were born on the same exact day! I'm glad we eventually came to our senses and became friends after the initial dislike wore off, because MK is such a wonderful and loyal friend to me. For a brief time, we worked together as baristas at a local coffee shop - those are some of my fondest memories with MK. I admire her for her humor, wisdom, beauty, and love for the Lord. We are fellow cat moms and we bond over that on a spiritual level. Last March, she married Jonathan and I was a bridesmaid in their wedding. I can't wait for her to stand with me on my wedding day as well. :)
Caroline Hogan
Bridesmaid
Caroline is a true gem. I met her through Mary Kathryn in eighth grade because they are best friends, but Caroline and I were never more than acquaintances until we were in college. She is one of the strongest, brightest, and bravest people I have ever known. Her sense of humor, cocktail mixing skills, and honesty are just a few of the things I love about her. If it weren't for her, Tyler and I wouldn't have met! Fun fact: Caroline and Tyler dated for about two seconds in high school.
Allie Sweatt
Bridesmaid
Allie is one of Tyler's younger sisters and one of the genuinely sweetest people I know. She has a big heart and has been a big fan of mine and Tyler's since the very beginning! I am so excited that I'll get her as a sister so soon. Allie, I'll get you some nieces and nephews to love on in due time. ;)
McKayla Sweatt
Bridesmaid
McKayla is sweet as pie! Another sister of Tyler's, she has a smile and laugh that will light up any room. She is funny, smart, lighthearted, and loves big, just like her big brother. :-) Another bonus sister for me and I am so excited for McKayla to be a part of our day!
Cayden Sweatt
Best Man
Standing by me as my best man will be my little brother, Cayden. I always wanted a little brother but it seemed for a while like that would be an unfulfilled dream. Then after three little sisters (who I also love so much), I finally got the news! I was getting a baby brother. Now 13 years later, I am so honored to have him as my Best Man!
Logan Adams
Groomsman
Logan is Victoria's older brother. Logan has me feel right a home like a part of the family from day one. He even gave me his blessing to marry his baby sister! I'm thankful to be getting another brother. Victoria and I are so excited to have him be a part of our special day.
Philip Allen
Groomsman
My friendship with Philip began in 5th grade when he moved to Bremen. Shortly thereafter, his family descided to homeschool him. So one day, in 6th grade, he was walking out of the school and said, "I'm leaving." Little did I know that I would not see him again until high school! I'm so thankful that I did. Philip is still one of my greatest friends.
Daniel Boalch
Groomsman
Daniel and I go way back to middle school. We were fellow band nerds, State Champion quartet member, and acted together in the Wizard of Oz our senior year. He is one of those friends that no matter how long it's been since I've seen him, we pick up right where we left off. His dry humor and say-it-like-it-is attitude are just two of the many things I love about this guy! I'm so honored to have him standing with me on this special day!
Patrick Campbell
Groomsman
Patrick Campbell is a legend. All of the most meaningful moments of my High School years, and some of my College years include Patrick. He and his lovely wife Taylor are two of the best friends that I will ever have. It is an honor to have married them and to have Patrick standing with me as I get married.
Larry Goins
Groomsman
Larry and I met at the prestigeous Fruitland Baptist Bible College. Larry was my roommate there for five quarters and quickly became my best friend. We both continued our education and our roommate status in 605 at The College at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Larry is an incredible friend, and truly is my RFL (Roommate for Life), if only in my heart.
Cody Hall
Groomsman
Funny enough Cody and I started out hating each other. He was a jock, and I was a band nerd. He was a jerk, and I... was also a jerk. But God is good and changed both of our hearts. Now we are the best of friends! He is one of the funniest and genuine people you will ever meet.
Ben Horton
Groomsman
Ben is one of my oldest and dearest friends. I have always looked up to Ben for his faith, his character, and his passion and talent for music. Ben has always been there for me no matter what. I'm so honored to have him standing with me in my wedding.
Connor & Christian Banks
Ring Bearer
Where do I start with these boys?! I've been their babysitter since 2014 when they were about a year and a half old. Since then, they and their parents have been family to me! While they can definitely be rowdy little boys, they have the sweetest hearts and are so loving. Connor loves to give me hugs and kisses and Christian is always telling me how pretty I am. Ever since Tyler hit the scene, they have loved him just as much (if not more). ;) I love these boys to pieces and I couldn't imagine not having them as a part of my and Tyler's big day!
Ed Hogan
Officiant
Oh, Ed. A gentleman, a scholar, and owner of the best back porch anyone ever sat on. If it weren't for this guy, Tyler and I probably wouldn't be together (see Tyler's story of how we met). Ed has been a part of our story from the moment we met. So, obviously, we had to ask him to officiate our wedding ceremony!
