Our Wedding

Brayen's POV- Our story begins when I was walking to class with a mutual friend in college, I had just gone on a blind date the night before and had a TERRIBLE time. I was ranting for ten minutes about how all boys are the same and I was done focusing on dating. Our mutual friend decided this was the perfect time to tell me about a certain man in East TN, as if I hadn't just said I was done dating. He began to show me pictures of this curly-headed-cutie and telling me all about how this sweet looking guy with a head full of curls played football, was a christian, loved disney, and had a huge heart. Right as we walked into class, I rolled my eyes and said with a small smile, "Fine, I'll give it a shot."I then had to wait until FALL BREAK to actually recieve a text from this guy. By then I had actually forgotten about the whole conversation. I'll let Josh tell you the rest! Josh's POV- My side of the story is that I didn't have any good experience with dating and our mutual reached out to me to tell me about this girl in one of his classes. During fall break he showed me pictures and was telling me how sweet and kind hearted she was and how her love for Christ was evident. I didn't want to get my hopes up, but I thought I might as well give it a shot. One thing led to another and when we met for the first time we immediatley got along and started cracking jokes. My favorite memory from that day was when Brayen tripped and not knowing what to say all I manged to get out was, "Did you trip?" Now we joke about it all the time and its a good memory!

Rylea is the matron of honor and older sister of the bride; although when we were little we definetly would not describe each other as friends. However, now we can't go a day without facetiming each other!

Anna Grace and I have been friends since middle school (maybe, we're not really sure). There has NEVER been a time I have not been able to rely on Anna Grace to be there when I needed her and to keep me on the right path. She has always been a steady friend in my life and I hope Anna Grace can say the same about me.

Samantha has been with Josh and I since the very beginning, there hasn't been a time where we felt like Sam was not in our corner, cheering us on. She has always been able to give advice to both of us regarding just about anything. For me, she was a friendly face in a crowd of people I did not know at family functions when I was still getting to know everyone. She has also successfully saved me from many awkward conversations during those events when I was not sure what to say next.

Carla has always been a wild card, however, she has also always been dependable for me. She never judges me, gets upset with me, or shames me for past mistakes or embarrassing moments. In fact, if I tripped on my way down the aisle, Carla would 100% be the one to also fall, that way the attention is off of me. I remember the first day I had met Carla, we immediately clicked as if we had known each other our whole lives (despite being cousins, we in fact, did NOT know each other our whole lives.)

Carla Spooner

WOW, where to begin with this girly, Symphony and I have known each other since ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. However, we DEFINETLY were not friends, we actually hated each other. Both of our moms, in fact, remember us coming home and ranting about this obnoxious/ down right mean girl in our class. It wasn't until middle school, when both moms also remember being shocked that we both were suddenly asking if the same girl we once hated, could come over and spend the night. Since then, we've been inseperable, no matter how many times we argue like sisters, we will always be a phone call away. 

Symphony Pruitt

Okay, there is a debate here, Alison says we became friends in highschool, I say we have been friends since elementary school. Safe to say, we aren't sure when the friendship began but we are sure that we are NOT getting ride of each other. 

Alison Johnson

Joe David has been a life long friend of mine and has been with me through just about every thing. He has been one that I have always gone to when I needed some brotherly advice on anything and everything. Safe to say, he has heard me talk about Brayen a lot during our Minecraft sessions, when all we do is run around and talk. He genuinely is my brother from another mother.

Joe David Bell

Patrick has also been there for me through the highs and lows.  He knows just what to say and you best beleive that when he says something you better pay attention to it. He has also heard me talk plenty about Brayen through the Minecraft sessions. Safe to say when we get on Minecraft, thats when we do the most talking. Patrick is also my brother from another mother.

Patrick Jones

Jackson has been the best person for my sister and I cannot thank him enough for that. Him and I have quickly become close and his laughter is contagious. Athough, I don't get to see him all the time (since he lives in Knoxville :\) but when we do hangout, it's always a great time.

Jackson Greene

Houston is Brayen's brother and I have learned very quickly that he will make jokes about anything. We always cut up and have a good time at family functions and is always a friendly face in the crowd. I have not known him for very long, but he has never felt like a stranger.

Travel

A beautiful hiking trail in Lafayette, TN. If you get hot, you can even go INTO the water fall! Just don't get lost like Josh and I did.
