Wedding Party

Rich and Anne Lake
Rich and Anne Lake - Father and Mother of the Bride
Rich and Anne have been my parents basically my whole life. Definitely wouldn’t be here without them, and can’t imagine where I’d be in life without their guidance, and love. So thankful to have such a great support system in my corner!
Staci McDowell
Staci McDowell - Matron-of-Honor
Where would I be without my sister? Thankfully I will never know. She has been there for me through everything in life. She’s my go-to person when times are tough, the first person I call to share good news, and my absolute bestfriend. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to be in my life, and my Matron-of-Honor!
Hannah Hill
Hannah Hill - Bridesmaid
Little red has been my bestie for a few years now. We worked together in Greenville, NC, and that’s where our friendship blossomed. Though I wasn’t a fan of her when we first met, Hannah stayed consistent with her bubbly personality, and light-hearted spirit, I had no choice but to give her a chance. And thank the lord I did. I’m so thankful to have this amazing, joyful, breath of fresh air person to be my bridesmaid!
Brent McDowell
Brent McDowell - Groomsman
Blake met Brent pretty early on in our relationship, and the two immediately hit it off. Now, they’ve become close friends as the family gatherings, random cookouts, and trips continue. Though they pull for rival teams (Duke and Carolina), they both share a love for a good Michelob, and a good time. Blake can’t wait to have Brent by his side!
Tony Lewis
Tony Lewis - Groomsman
Tony and Blake have worked together at UPS for years. Their friendship turned into a brotherhood. Tony and Blake keep each other laughing, and can always count on the other for anything. It was a no brainer, of course Tony had to stand beside Blake at the alter!
Peter Lake
Peter Lake - Best Man
Since day one, Peter and Blake have been so close. Though Peter is my brother, I am almost convinced he likes Blake more. Peter welcomed Blake into the family with open arms, and has been there for him whether it’s for a drink, or to lose to Blake in pool. Peter is the epitome of a good time, and a good laugh. We can’t wait to share this special day with him by our side.
Kylie Ortonlani
Kylie Ortonlani - Bridesmaid
Kylie and I have been friends since college. Funny story.. we despised one another in high school, and were very competitive playing sports against the other. When college started though, we became inseparable with Kylie earning the nickname ‘Chief.’ Kylie is the other half to my sunset. No matter what life throws our way, we find our way back to one another.
Courtney Nichols
Courtney Nichols - Bridesmaid
CC and I have been friends since high school. We became inseparable during the 3 sports we played together, spending every weekend by each others side. At one point, she got an allowance from my parents because she was with our family so much. Courtney’s role in my life quickly evolved from bestfriend to sister. No matter how long we go without communication, we always pick up where we left off. She’s quick to drop everything if I need her, and will make our special day that much more perfect.
Hayley Johnson
Hayley Johnson - Bridesmaid
HLJ6! Hayley Lynn and I became friends through mutual likes.. and dislikes. Her pups became my niece and nephew, and mine hers. At one point, we spent almost every day together, making Walmart runs, watching Greys Anatomy, and just driving around listening to music for hours. Hayley will be there for me, no matter what. She has seen me at my lowest, and now at my happiest. We are so lucky to have her beside us on this very important day.
Tyler Pedley
Tyler Pedley - Groomsman
Tyler and Blake became apart of each others lives when Tyler’s dad started dating Blake’s mom back in 2011. They were close before then though. Blake and Tyler perfected their pool skills together, went to Emerald Pointe, and raced each other in their Honda Civic SI’s. Tyler and Blake may go months without speaking, but pick up right where they left off when they reconnect. We couldn’t think of anyone else to be standing beside Blake!
Dylan Willis
Dylan Willis - Groomsman
Blake and Dylan grew up together. Though they are cousins, they grew close like brothers. Dylan and Blake grew their love for golf together, and even lived with one another for a period. We are so excited to have Dylan standing up there with us on our big day!
