Our Wedding

In 2019, Polk and I both attended Wake Tech Community College. On September 20, Polk saw me getting out of my car in the parking deck, and wanted to "be friends" with me (his words but later he admitted he just thought I was cute;)). He was too nervous to actually come up and talk to me, so instead his friend Will dared him to leave his number on my car.Later that day I returned to find a Holden Beach Fishing Pier ticket stuck in the door of my car. On the back was a phone number and the words "not a ticket". At first I was super creeped out and totally thought I was about to be stalked. After about 10 minutes of debating, I decided (maybe not so wisely) to text the number.Little did I know that simple decision would lead me to meeting the love of my life.I invited him to play Spikeball, since that's how I spent all of my free time at that point in my life. I also invited him to church, and he immediately melded so well with my friends and family.Over the next couple of months, Polk and I hung out whenever we weren't in class or working. We got very close during those months, though we didn't officially start dating until November 26.Since we've been dating, Polk has lived in three different cities (Raleigh, Belhaven and Wilmington), so we have been long distance for the majority of our relationship. This has made us very thankful for the times we get to spend together, and even more excited to finally live in the same city again!Polk and I still love playing Spikeball together, he has taught me how to fish, and we love exploring new places together, especially in the outdoors.

Our Story

Courtney is my longest and closest friend. We have been best friends since elementary school, and we still text each other every day! I also had the privilege of being her maid of honor in her wedding last year, and it is such a joy to be able to have her beside me for mine!

Courtney Anderson

Miles has been my best friend since we were about a year old, so we grew up side by side. We have shared many similar interests through our lives, such as playing baseball when we were younger and more recently off-roading, which has kept us very close to this day!

Miles Eubanks

Noelle and I became friends through a mutual friend at our church in high school, and almost instantly started hanging out as often as we could. I miss living five minutes down the road from her, but every time we see each other it's like no time has passed! I also get the joy of being Noelle's Matron of Honor later this year!

Noelle Jones

Will has been one of my best buds for a long time. His house was my second home all throughout high school. We always have a fun time when we hang out together. He is also part of the reason I met Audrey! (See Our Story for more on that:))

Will Cole

Emily is my cousin and one of my best friends since our earliest days! The older we have gotten the closer we have grown, and I'm so thankful for the built-in best friend I have in her! I got to be a bridesmaid in Emily's wedding last year, so it is very special to have her in mine!

Emily Hewitt

Josh and I have been close since second grade. When we were younger we shared a love of baseball and played on the same team from elementary through high school! 

Josh Sine

Anna Claire is my cousin who is also a built-in best friend! We have been close for as long as I can remember despite her family moving away when we were younger. We always look forward to seeing each other at family vacations and holidays!

Anna Claire Summers

Jack and I have been friends since meeting in middle school. We were known to be troublemakers when we were younger, and are always guaranteed to have a good time when we're around each other!

Jack Jourdan

Catalina and I met at Wake Tech not long before I met Polk there. Although we both stopped attending classes there not much later, we have stayed close and hang out often to this day! 

Catalina Lynam

I don't remember exactly when Chrissy and I became friends, but I do know he's been one of my best friends for a long time, and he wouldn't be Chrissy without his T-bird. He has always been a very supportive friend!

Christian Phillips

Reagan is my brother's girlfriend, and I am so thankful to have another girl around the house when she comes over! She is a blessing to be around and has become a special part of our family in the last couple years!

Reagan Eatman

Jacob and I instantly got along after I met him through Audrey. We played as partners for several seasons of Spikeball and make a great team. Jacob is like the little brother I never had, and I am happy to call him brother-in-law soon!

Jacob Summers

Lydia and I started hanging out after meeting at our church's college ministry. We became fast friends and soon started to hang out more frequently and often on double-dates since our significant others are also such close friends. I was blessed to be a bridesmaid in Lydia's wedding as well!

Lydia Brady

Josh and I met through our friend group at our church, and quickly became close through many game nights and Spikeball pickup days. I also had the honor of being a groomsman in Josh's wedding! 

Josh Brady

Jon and I met through his wife; Courtney and Audrey's friendship, we instantly clicked and have since enjoyed many couple's outings together. I also got to be a part of Jon and Courtney's wedding last year!

Jon Anderson

I met Christian when I moved to Wilmington for school a couple years ago. We started hanging out almost every day immediately, and he very quickly became one of my closest friends. Seems like I’ve known him forever!
