"Will You Let Me Make You Happy Forever?"

<p>Breanna and Will met at a New Year's Eve party hosted by mutual friends on December 31, 2013. In the coming months, they saw each other frequently at the homes of friends and began to build a friendship. Breanna and Will bonded over a shared love of fantasy series, namely Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, but Breanna still hopes for a day when Will's Harry Potter obsession matches her own. On June 3, 2014, Breanna and Will began dating and four months later Will dropped the coveted "L word" on October 25 at the Kiwanis Fair after seeing Breanna's dorky love of fairs. After living together in Savannah for almost a year, the couple made the move to Statesboro to attend Georgia Southern University and moved into their first house together on July 29, 2015 with their beloved fur baby, Remus. Almost two years later, Will filled their home with fifty candles and had Breanna's favorite song "Wait" by M83 playing when he proposed on July 17, 2017. </p>

Jordan and Breanna met in sixth grade, but were not on good terms due to the meddling of a mutual friend. After both had grown apart from said friend, they realized the cause of their resentment and reconciled in junior year of high school. Jordan and Breanna bonded over a shared obsession of books and Harry Potter, and have been best friends ever since—even after five years of attending separate universities. They spend most of their time together watching fantasy series or Sex and the City while drinking their favorite beer, Stella Artois.

Kyle and Will met in 5th grade at South Effingham Elementary School. They have been best friends through middle and high school and have continued their relationship through college. Needless to say they have been inseparable. Their relationship has been spent bonding over their love of Star Wars, Lord of The Rings, music, skating, camping, beer, conspiracy theories, politics, and countless other things that they will not hesitate to discuss too loudly at social events. At the time of the wedding Kyle and Will will have been friends for 14 years. According to the state of Georgia this relationship can be classified as a domestic partnership, which means that although Breanna will have legal custody over Will, she will be required to share her relationship with Kyle barring other circumstances.

Davey and Will met at South Effingham High School in 2009 and have been friends since. The two have been apart of a close knit friend group for years, however their relationship has always been a unique one. They enjoy the company of their friends, but they have always been able to create fun regardless of who else is around. Davey is the cousin of Ricky Griffin, who is also a groomsman, because that's just what growing up in Effingham county is like. The two will undoubtedly remain friends long into their lives, regardless of any other circumstances. Some friends can't be kept apart.

Kayli and Breanna met in 2013 through the same mutual friends who introduced Breanna and Will. Kayli and Breanna first bonded over their love for the band Twenty One Pilots and have since further bonded over their passion for their cats, margaritas, Disney movies, milkshakes, and just good food in general. They most often spend their time together making ridiculous snapchat videos, gossiping about their shared enemies, and eating food that is really bad for them.

Mary and Breanna met in the eleventh grade and bonded in their ceramics class as they created struggled to roll clay coils and perfect the art of throwing pottery. Mary and Breanna, alongside Taylor and Jordan, spent much of their time in high school watching movies, having sleepovers, and attending the movie premieres of their favorite series. Mary and Breanna are both giant animal lovers who have spent most of their friendship exchanging pictures of their animals and describing the precious things they do.Breanna always describes Mary to others as the most lovable person you'll ever meet and frequently tells others she cannot imagine a person who would not love her.

Josh and Will met the summer before starting high school at a Rincon United Methodist church lock-in and immediately bonded over their love of music. Will was actually Josh's Best Man at his wedding  which is sure to cause infighting among the group culminating in a battle between Josh and Kyle for friendship supremacy. Disregarding this event, at the time of the wedding Josh and Will will have been playing music together for nearly a decade. This activity has spanned from Josh's garage, to basements, houses, and a few legitimate music venues in Savannah, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, and other continental US territories. Even though Will doesn't spend entire summers on Josh's bedroom floor anymore, the two remain best buddies for life.

Ricky and Will have known each other for most of their lives through early school and family relationships. They have been hunting buddies since middle school and are the kind of friends that can go months without seeing each other and pick up right where they left off without missing a beat. They have a shared love of the outdoors and classic country music, and have spent their fair share of time blowing up various items with fireworks (which will not be allowed at the wedding).

Taylor and Breanna met in eleventh grade in A.P. History and became best friends because of their love for Harry Potter. Throughout high school and their early days in college, Taylor and Breanna would spend hours together watching bridal shows on TLC, while simultaneously scanning Pinterest for ideas for their future weddings. Despite moving four states away, Taylor has remained close to Breanna and is finally able to fulfill her side of their high school pact of being each other's bridesmaids.

Matt and Will have been friends the shortest amount of time out of the groom's party, but that doesn't make him any less important to the group (sure, we'll go with that. They were acquaintances for years through attending shows and through mutual friends, but became fast friends through hanging out in Statesboro and bonding over movies and Elliano's coffee.

Alex and Breanna are both English majors who met at Georgia Southern University on a study abroad trip in Ireland. The two bonded over delicious pasta&nbsp;the first night in Ireland&nbsp;and shared an embarrassing number of&nbsp;warm&nbsp;brownies with ice cream in their three weeks abroad. When they returned home, Alex and Breanna became inseparable.&nbsp;Alex loves forcing Breanna to go out and&nbsp;be sociable, while Breanna loves making Alex stay in and watch movies, making them the perfect pair. While Breanna could fill a book with the reasons she loves Alex, she'll resign to simply say that she's blessed to have such a caring, energetic, loyal, and consistently happy person by Breanna's side on her big day.

Kaitlyn and Breanna are first cousins and therefore have known each other since they were babies. They have had many ups and downs in their friendship, which can mostly be blamed on teenage hormones, but have remained close regardless. No matter their efforts, they do not spend most of their time working out and are more likely to spend their time together watching movies, laughing about stupid stuff, creating ridiculous inside jokes, and looking for any excuse to not workout (such as the time Breanna forgot socks and decided she could not workout without them.) Kaitlyn has worked as a florist for five years and is using her knowledge of all things wedding related to assist Breanna in making her dream wedding a reality.

Jackie Baublitz is engaged to Breanna's brother, Austyn Harris. Austyn and Jackie have been dating for over six years and will be getting married in December 2020. Both awkward and shy, Breanna and Jackie took a while to warm up to one another but have now grown to truly care for one another. Breanna loves watching stupid comedies and&nbsp;playing board games with Jackie, who is a fierce competitor, and&nbsp;teaming up with her to mess with Austyn. Give these girls some amaretto sours and some good food, and you know it's going to be a fun night.

Jackie Baublitz

Austyn is the brother of Breanna and has been close to Will since Breanna introduced him to her family. Breanna and Austyn have had some serious ups and downs in their relationship in the last twenty years, but always loved each other like you have to when you are family. Austyn loves chasing Breanna around and trying to scare her, which has led to her severe fear of being chased, which haunts her even when she is being chased by her adorable cat. Will and Austyn have bonded over a love of video games, hunting, fishing, and their sense of humor, which is very similar.
