Wedding Party
Mikayla Purvis

George and Kim have had so many fun adventures such as traveling to Ohio to visit her family, exploring Nashville after high school, countless sleepovers, beach trips, and many FaceTime calls as George moved to Ohio. Long-distance has not been fun as Kim longs to be with her best friend, but their friendship is one that could never be lost. George has always been the one that knew Kim the best, put a smile on her face, and kept her in line. Kim loves to bug George by making jokes, dancing, and being as loud as possible when she is with her. Since they were little, Kim has always wanted George to be the one who helps her down the aisle. She could not imagine it any other way.

When Michael and Zac were in 5th grade, they decided that they would let Grant into the friend group and the 3 instantly became inseparable. You could find the 3 skateboarding around the neighborhood on their butts, playing sports, making cardboard box forts and much more!

Zac and Justyn were roommates and had plenty of nights full of Lego Star Wars, Wii bowling/tennis and Minecraft. Kim always tried to play with the boys but they always excluded her.

Marc is another one of Zac's friends from college. Marc is probably the craziest, funniest and weird people you will ever meet in your life.

Marc also loves to where face masks and tries to get Kim to do one with him every time he sees her. Marc's diet consists of nothing but pizza and Chick-Fil-A(nothing green). Marc is a bandwagon Broncos fan. Also, it's very funny to watch Marc work out(Ask Justyn...). While Marc is crazy, he is the most genuine and kind person that Zac knows. Zac knows that he can always count on Marc to care for him and be there for him no matter what and Zac is very excited to have him by his side.
