Jennifer Manley - Matron of Honor
Jennifer is my little sister. We are only 1 year apart, so we grew up doing everything together (whether she liked it or not, haha!). She is my best friend, and my heart. She makes me a better person. I have always dreamt of her standing beside me on my wedding day. I cannot wait to share that with you, Jenn!
Andrew Gill - Groomsman
Chuck and Andrew met through Andrea, because Andrew is married to Andrea's best friend Meghan. They immediately hit off, bonding over their love of cooking, yard work, whiskey, and sports.
Tim Keough - Groomsman
Tim and Andrea have worked together for years, and are great friends. When Tim and Chuck met they definitely hit it off- we travel together, explore Austin together, and love to go out on the boat with him and his wife, Holly.
Tiffany Garcia - Maid of Honor
I met Tiffany in 1st grade, when we were both rocking side-pony tails, and matching cowgirl outfits. We have been best friends ever since. Her parents, Julene and Mitchell helped raise me. I have literally grown up, and with this woman. So excited to celebrate this with her and her family.
Meghan Gill - Matron of Honor
My girl Meg! Meghan and I met while in High School while playing volleyball together. We reconnected while both living in Austin (and also playing volleyball). God definitely knew that I needed Meghan back in my life. We didn't know it at the time, but we would both be going through similar experiences, and I have leaned on her immensely ever since. Her and her husband, Andrew, have been a great source of advice, and encouragement for Chuck and me. I couldn't do this without her!
Travis Hudson - Groomsman
Travis and Andrea have worked together for years, and when Chuck and Travis met- these two small town guys hit it off. Travis and his wife, Bree, are our travel and cook-out buddies.
Donna Dozier - Bridesmaid
Donna. Hanks. Dozier. No words will suffice. I met Donna in 6th grade through Britney, who met me through Tiffany. The best friends were meeting the best friends. We have been a wolf-pack ever since. To know Donna, is to love her. It is just a fact of life.
There was a time that I practically lived at the Hanks house. I think many of us can say that. The impact that the entire Hanks family has had on my life is immeasurable. Donna and the Hanks crew have a very special place in my heart, and always will.
Cureton Mosely - Groomsman
Chuck and Cureton met in Kindergarten and have been friends ever since. They grew up together in the small town of Winnfield, Louisiana and played sports together. Right after high school, Cureton moved to Houston- so it was great having him here when Chuck first moved to Houston in 2011.
Donyell Brown - Best Man
Donyell and Chuck met in the 8th grade, when Donyell moved to Winnfield from Tennessee. Shortly after Chuck and Donyell became good friends, they learned that they were actually related! Donyell is Chuck's second cousin. Although they ended up being family, Donyell is one of Chuck's best friends by choice.
Britney Rhodes - Bridesmaid
Britney and I also met in the 6th grade. When she tells the story, it was when I was crying over a boy, and she was assuring me I'd be okay. Haha!
Britney has practically always played this role in my life. She has ALWAYS been a "mom" by nature, and she is someone that I can count on for anything. She has a heart of gold, and her friendship means the world to me.
Robin Miller - Bridesmaid
Robin and I met through work- and I knew immediately she was a girl after my own heart. We share the love for wine, travel, organization, home decor and fashion (all in which she is much more advanced than I). She is a fiercely loyal friend, and has the biggest heart!
Tomell Hamms - Pastor
Pastor Tomell Hamms and Chuck have been friends since their day-care days. They grew up together in Winnfield, Chuck attended the church that, at the time, Tomell's Dad led. Pastor Hamms now leads the ministry at New Zion Missionary Baptist Church of Winnfield. We are so thankful to have him bless our union.
Kevin Craft - Groomsman
Kevin and Chuck have known each other since they were about five years old. He was one of Chuck's best friends growing up. They lived down the street from each other, and Chuck accredits Kevin as one of the people that got him into sports. Chuck has always looked up to Kevin and his brother, Derrick. (I know, so funny- same names as Andrea's brothers!).
Katy Durst - Bridesmaid
Katy and I also met at work, and she was there for every step of the journey when Chuck and I started dating. She probably wrote half the texts I sent to him in the beginning! Haha!
Katy is everyones best friend! She is down right hilarious, a super talented calligrapher, and arguably the best dancer since JLO. I cannot wait to get down on the dance floor with you!
Holly Keough - House Party
I met Holly when her and her husband Tim moved to Austin. Tim and I have worked together for years. We have enjoyed traveling together and exploring Austin with these Michiganders. Tim and Holly will be new parents come October, they are expecting a little baby boy! I am so excited for them!
Bree Hudson - House Party
Bree is married to my friend, and co-worker Travis. Bree, , Tim, Holly and us really enjoy hanging out together- whether its traveling, trying new restaurants in Austin or hanging out on the lake. Bree and Travis were married in Austin a few years ago, and her advice has been invaluable to me during this process. They've also just had their first child, son Lyndon- and is the most precious little boy!
