Groomsman

Oh Montrey where do I begin. It’s been a running joke for many years that Mr.Valentine is Zach’s true love because of the extravagant birthday messages everyone sends. Montrey is the life of the party and keeps everyone laughing. He has such an infectious laugh and smile that you can’t help but to join him. He’s truly a great guy who completes the circle of friendship, he has great style and I’m convinced you could put him in a room with anyone and he would make a friend in five minutes. He always looks out for his friends and family and has some fantastic dance moves! I look forward to seeing him dance the night away and we are so blessed to have him as a friend.

Piper Hodges

Flower Girl

Piper is the coolest baby I have ever met, now I know everyone says that about their nieces but I am serious. She is so smart and intuitive it has been amazing to watch her grow and learn. She loves her momma and daddy and all the dogs! I have been shocked by how smart she is many of times and I will look at Brook and she is shaking her head to tell me yes I know she learned that the other day. She can take her own selfies and loves rock/heavy metal music. She is an absolute joy and truly completes our family I am beyond thankful Brook and Jesse gave us all the gift of the coolest kid.
