TYLER & ZAIN
Wedding Party
Chelsea Pressley
Matron of Honor
I have known Chelsea since we were 4 years old. We grew up in a cul-de-sac and instantly became best friends. Although we tended to fight like sisters we have also grown to feel like family and I know I will have her by side for the rest of my life. We have gone from playing Barbie's to sipping wine and talking about our weddings & future families.
Kristin Colwell
Matron of Honor
My two best friends are too good for me to have to choose one as the Matron of Honor! Kristin came into my life when I was a freshman in high school during cheerleading tryouts. I came from a smaller middle school, so I didn't have many friends there. All of the girls were in a very tight-knit group, so I didn't stand a chance of getting in. Then, out of nowhere, Kristin stepped out of the group, came up to me, and invited me to come over for a sleepover. It's been history ever since!
Abby Yates
Bridesmaid
This friendship came out of left field, and we were exactly what each other needed. From going through breakups to Abby moving in, to Covid hitting and the thought of 'being single forever.' Since Abby and I met, we have been inseparable. She joined my team at work and followed me to my new job as well. Abby and I have been navigating life together, from being single to being engaged, and now planning our weddings together. Next up is watching our future children grow up together!
Liz Peterson
Bridesmaid
Liz is one of those friends who I could go months without seeing, and the moment we meet up, it's like no time has passed. Liz is my most dependable friend; if there's anything you need, she will be there in her short bus to pick you up. She is outspoken and unapologetically herself. If someone is getting 'down' on the dance floor, let it be known that it's probably Liz.
Megan Smith
Bridesmaid
Megan and I have truly grown together to become mature women, which is saying a lot considering the things we used to do. I met Megan in the 5th grade on the playground at Cedar Bluff Intermediate School, where she proceeded to ask what tumbling skills I had for middle school cheer tryouts. At the time, my skill was a cartwheel, and of course, she outdid me with a roundoff. There are honestly too many memories for me to just mention a few, but Megan has always been the one who has stood by my side from the moment we met.
Bailey Costar
Bridesmaid
Bailey is the only person I am happy to see at 6 am, which is always at the gym. She is also the only person I would speak to when working out because I usually pretend no one else exists at the gym. Our mutual love for The Bar sweatshirts, Twin Snakes, and over-dressing honestly can't be beat. I've always looked up to Bailey for her sense of fashion and how she carries herself. She is one that I am very lucky to call a best friend!
Natalie Baine
Bridesmaid
I couldn't believe that I found someone who is just as weird as me, but I did. Natalie was a girl who, when I first saw her, I assumed there was no way she was going to be nice because of how pretty and well-dressed I thought she was. Lo and behold, she apparently felt the same way about me! As soon as we broke down that barrier, Natalie and I became really close. I could always depend on Natalie; she would come over almost every night with her dog Oakley, and we would sit and watch TV until I literally had to kick her out. There's no one who will understand my quotes of SpongeBob like she does, 'I call this song, Striped Sweater,' and cue Natalie singing.
Alex Barnett
Bridesmaid
MY FUTURE SISTER-IN-LAW!!! I couldn't have asked for a better person to be my sister. Alex has been our #1 supporter during our relationship. My only concern with Alex is that she popped out the cutest niece and nephew, and I don't know how Tyler and I are going to be able to compete with that. You will see them walk down the aisle as our ring bearer and flower girl.
Savannah Johnson
Bridesmaid
I first met Savannah in our sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma. We initially bonded over our obsession with a certain Sigma Chi (who shall not be named) and how I was extremely jealous that she got to take him to a date party. Fast forward 3 years, Savannah and I rekindled our friendship when we both started working at Pilot together. I ran the Beverage business, and she ran the Food business—two peas in a pod. We had each other to lean on during hard times for whatever life was throwing at us at the time. I've always appreciated having her in my life.
