Wedding Party

Shea Kilby

Matron of Honor

My Sister My sister has been there since day one—literally. Being 13 years older than me, she’s always been a little bit of everything in my life: sister, protector, role model, and occasionally mistaken for my mom by strangers. She’s been wiping Amy’s butt since the beginning (the ultimate big-sister duty), and somehow she still loves me anyway. She’s fiercely loyal, always a steady rock when I need one, and the person I know will always have my back no matter what. She’s also been my original dance partner—because if there’s music playing, she’s always down for a dance party. I’m so lucky she’s been by my side through every stage of life, and even luckier to have her standing beside me on this day too. 💛

Clifford Stoops

Best Man

Chad’s Best Friend, Co-Best Man Chad and Cliff have been friends for over 20 years, which means they’ve managed to pack in a lifetime of adventures—and a fair amount of chaos—together. From dirt biking and roller skating to raising a little hell and collecting stories that probably shouldn’t all be repeated, he’s been there through it all. Boat breakdowns, car breakdowns… if something could go wrong, chances are they were together when it did. Through every adventure, mishap, and questionable idea, he’s always been the kind of friend who has your back no matter what. He’s also the life of the party, the guy who can make any situation more fun, and someone Chad is lucky to call a friend. After 20 years of friendship and memories, it only makes sense that he’d be standing by Chad’s side on this big day

Caleb Cupp

Best Man

Chad's Best Friend, Co-Best Man Caleb isn’t just a co-investor—he’s been one of Chad’s closest brothers in life for as long as either of them can remember. Their friendship was forged through years of shared experiences, challenges, and growth. From long days training and fighting in MMA gyms to pushing each other through brutal workouts, they built a bond rooted in discipline, grit, and mutual respect. They’ve seen each other at their best and at their lowest, and through it all they’ve always understood one another without needing many words. Through every chapter of life, one thing has never changed: Caleb and Chad show up for each other. Fiercely loyal, unwaveringly supportive, and always pushing one another to be better, their bond is the kind that lasts a lifetime.

Stephanie Hampton

Bridesmaid

Stephanie isn’t just my cousin—she’s been one of my best friends and my forever fashionista. Growing up, she was the one helping me pick out the perfect outfits (especially for sorority recruitment), making sure everything looked just right while keeping the whole process full of laughs and a little sass. From shaking our tail feathers on the treadmills at Orangetheory Fitness to being by my side through every stage of life, she’s always been someone I can count on. She’s also been one of the people who encouraged and supported me as I realized how much I wanted to pursue becoming a Physician Assistant, always believing in me and pushing me to go after what I want. With a cousin and friend like Stephanie, how could I not have her as one of my bridesmaids?

Josiah Cupp

Groomsman

Chad first met Josiah through his older brother Caleb, but it didn’t take long before Chad and Josiah became friends in their own right. As Caleb’s little brother, he quickly became Chad's partner in crime. Back in our single days, if one of them was going out, the other one was probably right there too. Between motorcycles, late nights out on the town, and plenty of questionable decisions that somehow turned into great stories, they have made a lot of memories together. Those were the days long before Chad met Amy—but they’re some of his favorite memories. Through it all, he’s been a loyal friend, a great riding partner, and someone Chad's always been able to count on. Chad is honored to have Josiah standing up for him on his big day.

Teresa Dickeson

Bridesmaid

Teresa and Amy first met in college at the University of Florida, and it didn’t take long for them to realize they had found a lifelong friend in each other. Early in their UF experience, they ended up pledging the same sorority together, where they quickly discovered they had a lot in common—and plenty of fun ahead of them. From singing karaoke at the top of their lungs to Man in the Mirror, to picking out outfits for Grab-a-Date, recruitment, and everything in between, the two have shared countless memories over the years. Through both the hard times and the good times, Teresa and Amy have always been there for each other—usually with good advice, encouragement, and occasionally a great karaoke performance. From college adventures to wedding celebrations, Teresa has always had Amy’s back, and their friendship continues to be one of the most meaningful parts of Amy’s life.

Evan Pinion

Groomsman

Chad first met Evan thanks to Evan’s wife, Kailey—but Evan quickly earned his place in the friend group the old-fashioned way: a few rounds of shots at Roosters. After that initiation, it didn’t take long for everyone to realize he fit right in. Whether it’s a spontaneous lake day, a rollerblading adventure, or helping kick off a night out, Evan is always ready to join the fun. He’s also earned the honorary title of the group’s liquor concierge, occasional designated driver, and reliable source of good times. Most importantly, Evan is a great friend who’s always willing to show up, lend a hand, and make the adventure a little more memorable.

Kailey Pinion

Bridesmaid

Kailey and Amy first met many moons ago, and it didn’t take long for their friendship to take off. From the very beginning, Kailey’s quick wit and sharp sense of humor made her unforgettable—and guaranteed there would never be a dull moment. As a fellow physician assistant, Kailey and Amy share not only a profession but plenty of stories, support, and understanding that comes with it. Outside of work, Kailey is usually down for just about anything—whether it’s an adventure, a celebration, or just a reason to laugh. But behind the humor is one of Kailey’s best qualities: she is a fiercely loyal friend. Through all of life’s moments, Kailey has always had Amy’s back. Amy is incredibly grateful for her quick wit, adventurous spirit, and unwavering friendship, and it means so much to have her standing by her side on this special day

Lauren Tamayo

Bridesmaid

Lauren and Amy have been friends since they were three years old, when they met in Miss Hammer’s EC3 class and quickly became inseparable. Their friendship has truly stood the test of time—surviving everything from questionable self-cut bangs to playing soccer together, to the late night Friday night hang out's after cheering on the Crusaders. Through every stage of life—childhood adventures, awkward phases, homecomings, proms, and everything in between—Lauren has been right there beside Amy. After all these years, she’s seen it all and somehow still stuck around. Lauren has been an OG since the very beginning, and Amy couldn’t imagine this day without her lifelong friend standing by her side

Aaron Jones

Groomsman

Aaron and Chad became good friends after Chad moved to Knoxville, and it didn’t take long for plenty of great memories to follow. From lake adventures on Fort Loudoun Lake—including the occasional mishap like getting stuck—to celebrating birthdays both near and far, Aaron has been part of many unforgettable moments. No matter the occasion, Aaron is always ready to join the fun and make the story just a little better. Chad is grateful for Aaron’s friendship and the many adventures they’ve shared, and he’s glad to have him standing by his side on such an important day.

Kelly Townsley

Bridesmaid

Amy first met Kelly back in high school, but their friendship really grew when they both joined Phi Mu at the University of Florida. When it came time to pick a big sister, Amy knew right away she wanted Kelly—and thankfully Kelly said yes. From cheering at Gator football games to living together during college, Kelly and Amy shared so many fun memories during their time at UF. Even after college, their friendship has stayed just as strong. They’ve kept plenty of their traditions going, especially meeting up for the Gator vs. Volunteer game between the Florida Gators football and the Tennessee Volunteers football. Kelly has always been someone Amy can count on—part mentor, part big sister, and always a great friend. Amy is so grateful for their friendship and is so happy to have Kelly by her side on such a special day

Amanda Morreale

Bridesmaid

Amanda and I have been dancing through life together since high school, when we first met as Crusaderettes on the dance team. What started with long practices, Friday night lights, and our very serious commitment to smoky eyes, sky-high poofs, and tube skirts (a fashion era we may never fully recover from) quickly turned into a friendship that has lasted through every chapter of life. Through the years, Amanda has been so much more than a friend—she’s been a constant. She’s been there through the awkward phases, the growing-up moments, the big life changes, and all the laughs in between. She’s the kind of person who shows up, cheers you on when you need it most, and somehow always knows how to make everything feel a little lighter. We went from figuring out who we were as teenagers to finding ourselves as adults—and eventually finding the people we’re meant to share our lives with. Having Amanda beside me through all of that is something I’ll always be grateful for. Some friendships start at a moment in time, but the really special ones grow with you. I’m so lucky that what began on the dance team all those years ago turned into a lifelong friendship, and I can’t imagine celebrating this day without her.

Shamale Lee

Groomsman

Shamale is one of those people who, once you meet him, he’s part of your crew for life. Chad first met Shamel after what can only be described as a pretty rowdy night, and from that moment on a solid friendship was formed. The two quickly bonded over their shared love of bikes—which, when you hear the stories, makes Chad sound like he almost had a real Sons of Anarchy phase in his past. Thankfully these days the adventures are a little less wild, but the friendship has remained just as strong. Through the years, Shamel has been a loyal friend, always bringing his energy, humor, and good spirit wherever he goes. Chad is so grateful for the friendships that have been part of their journey, and they’re especially glad Shamel is here to celebrate this chapter with him

Chrissy Lamb

Bridesmaid

Sometimes the most meaningful friendships start in the simplest ways. I met Chrissy at a Junior League meeting when we happened to sit next to each other. On the drive home, I remember calling Chad and telling him how excited I was because I had just met this totally awesome girl. What I didn’t realize at the time was that one small seat choice would lead to one of the most special friendships of my adult life. Chrissy is the kind of friend who truly meets you where you are. She shows up, supports you, and makes every season of life feel a little easier to navigate. No matter how busy life gets or how much time passes, we always pick up right where we left off—like no time has passed at all. In so many ways, friendships like ours remind me of what today is all about: the people who walk beside you through life’s journey. I’m so grateful that a random seat at a meeting turned into such a genuine, supportive, and lasting friendship. Chrissy is one of the people who has made my path brighter, and I’m so lucky she’s standing beside me on this day.

Brittany Stoops

Bridesmaid

Brittany has been one of Chad’s closest friends for over 20 years, and it didn’t take long for her to become a fast and cherished friend to Amy as well. The kind of friend who brings both adventure and loyalty into your life, Brittany is always ready to say yes to the next experience—whether that’s trying a new hiking trail, paddle boarding on the water, or chasing whatever fun idea comes next. Some of the best memories have come from the simplest moments together—rolling around the skating rink, paddling down a river, or just finding joy in whatever adventure the day brings. Brittany has a way of making life feel a little more exciting and a lot more fun. Of course, every adventure has its limits… and for this crew, that limit might be tent camping (and if you know Amy, you definitely understand why). Over the years, Brittany has been more than just a friend—she’s been part of the journey. Amy and Chad feel incredibly lucky to have her in their lives and are so grateful for the many memories already made and the adventures still to come.

Kyle Greening

Groomsman

Kyle has been part of Amy and Chad’s story from the very beginning. Back when they first started dating, Kyle was there—not just as a friend, but as someone who gave Chad a little nudge in the right direction to pursue Amy. Thankfully, Chad listened. Since then, Kyle has been a constant and loyal friend, always there with support, encouragement, and plenty of good times along the way. It’s friends like Kyle who remind us how important the people around us are in shaping our stories. Amy and Chad are so grateful for the role Kyle played in the early days of their relationship and for the friendship he’s continued to share ever since. It means so much to have him standing beside them as they celebrate this next chapter together.

Andrea Pelaez

Bridesmaid

Andrea isn’t just a cousin—she’s someone Amy grew up alongside through so many of life’s early memories. From putting on “fireplace shows” with Red and Little Wood as kids, to long St. Lawrence carpool rides, trips to the Mall of America, and all the adventures we shared with Gran, Andrea has been part of the story from the very beginning. Some of the best childhood memories were spent laughing, exploring, and getting into just enough mischief together. Growing up side by side meant having a built-in best friend, and those memories are some of Amy’s most cherished. Having Andrea standing beside Amy on this day makes the bridal party feel truly complete. It means so much to celebrate this next chapter with someone who has been part of the journey from the very start

Gage and Bryce Kilby

Bridesman

Amy’s nephews, now 18 and 16, have been part of her life since their day one—quite literally. She likes to joke that she’s been helping take care of them since the days of diapers, so watching them grow into the strong, funny, and kind young men they are today has been incredibly special. Over the years they’ve brought plenty of laughs, energy, and unforgettable moments to the family. "Aunt Me" couldn’t be prouder of the young men they’ve become, and it means the world to have them standing by her side as her bridesmen on such an important day

Sophie, Emery, & Libby

Flower Girlies

Because they are just too stinkin' cute!

Stephanie Lowe

Honor Attendant

A very special bonus niece in our lives! We are so lucky to have her join us on this day.

Rip Vaydak

Ring Bearer

Steve Pouliot

Father of the Bride

Steve Pouliot (more affectionately known as Dad) is, quite simply, the best of all the rest. From the moment Amy was born, she has been the apple of his eye, and he has spent a lifetime loving, supporting, and cheering her on every step of the way. Some of Amy’s favorite memories with her dad are the simple ones—road trips filled with singing along to Willie Nelson and Neil Diamond, singing-along to Grease, plenty of laughter, and the kind of moments that turn into lifelong memories. And if you know Steve, you also know that one of the ways he shows love best is by making your favorite foods or sweet treats and making sure everyone around him feels welcome and cared for. As Amy begins this new chapter, she carries with her all the love, guidance, and lessons her dad has given her along the way. Steve has always been her biggest supporter, and having him by her side on this special day means the world. Amy is so grateful to have such a one-of-a-kind dad to walk her down the aisle and into this next adventure.

Linda Preast Lowe

"Bonus" Mother of the Groom

Linda has been part of Chad’s life since childhood and has always been so much more than family—she’s truly been a second mom to him. Over the years she has been a steady source of love, encouragement, and support, always cheering Chad on and celebrating the people and moments that matter most in his life. Linda even claims she witnessed the moment Chad started falling for Amy during a family trip to the Outer Banks—a story she proudly tells and one that Amy and Chad have come to appreciate even more over time. With a heart of gold and a way of making everyone feel welcomed and cared for, Linda is one of those special people who brings warmth wherever she goes. Amy and Chad are so grateful for her love and support and feel incredibly lucky that she is such an important part of their lives and their story.

Jamie Fink

Sister of the Groom

Chad's older sister. His first protector. Jamie has always been the rock of the family—the one who somehow manages to keep everyone grounded, laughing, and moving forward no matter what life throws our way. Through the good times, the tough times, and everything in between, she’s been the steady voice, the supportive hug, and occasionally the one reminding everyone to relax and pour another glass of bourbon. As the groom’s sister, Jamie has been a lifelong partner in crime, trusted confidant, and one of his closest friends. From family memories to late-night laughs and a few shared bourbon conversations along the way, she’s been there for it all. The bride and groom couldn’t imagine this day without her by their side. Jamie’s strength, loyalty, and heart mean the world to them.
