OUR WEDDING PARTY
More like our Wedding Family!!
From the beginning of our relationship, both of our families have been our biggest cheerleaders. We can't imagine our wedding day any different. We are so excited to introduce you to some of the most special people in our lives, our family!
Dawson Buchanan - Best Man
Previously known as "little man," Dawson is assuming the role as "best man!!" We switched his role to Best Man from Ring Bearer after he asked if he could do a layup with the diamond.
Nathan Yow - Man of Honor
You can find Nate on the water, in the middle of the woods, or on the basketball court... but on April 2, you will find him holding my flowers at the altar. We couldn't be more HONORED to have the man of honor on our team!
Carolyn Buchanan (Gaga) - Flower Girl
Back in 1956, she played Tree #4 in her 3rd grade class play. In 2021, she's playing a Flower Girl in our wedding! It's none other than Gaga Buchanan!! Corner her after the wedding and ask for a sweet potato pie...they're to die for!
Kay Berryman (Nana) - Flower Girl
What can ya say about Kay? Cooler than an air conditioned room on a summer day and hot as a ball of fire, Nana has been training her whole life to be a Flower Girl. Once a roommate, always a grandma. Love ya, Nana.
Nancy Shaw (Nanny) - Flower Girl
Keep the Man of Honor and Nanny away from each other or she'll be laughing down the aisle instead of throwing flowers! Once Nanny gets tickled, who knows how long she'll be out of commission! Stop by and get you a slice of Nanny's Famous Homemade Britton and Maggie Wedding Cake during your visit to the reception. Your life will change in an instant!
Kim Yarborough (Granny Kim) - Flower Girl
Granny Kim is hanging up her beach flip-flops and putting on her farm girl boots again to join us at Daniel's Ridge as a Flower Girl! I once burnt my arm on a tray of her kale chips - thank God flowers aren't that hot!
Todd Buchanan - Ring Bearer
Todd Buchanan, he's a trip!...or he's going to trip. Dad is a man of many talents - a skilled mechanic, a former employee for NAPA, a once-renowned athlete (just ask the class of 1982 about Mr. Soccer), and a long-time employee of Duke Energy. We just hope he can carry a pillow.
Shannon Buchanan - Mother of the Groom
The Mother of the Groom will hopefully take the day off from jump scaring her firstborn to enjoy the day, but if she doesn't, I'm sure all the videos will end up on Facebook before the ceremony is over! If you see her, say hello...but you may want to bring some tissues.
Jeff Yow - Walk(h)er Down the Aisle
Also known as Father of the Bride, Jeff's long career as basketball player/marathon runner has prepped him for a walk to remember. We'll let him take a short break from being on his feet before the real highlight of the evening - the father-daughter dance. You haven't seen real dancing until you've seen Jeff and Maggie shag.
Beth Yow - Mother of the Bride
Mother of the Bride, Beth Yow, has the biggest job of the day...being the mother of the bride! Beth also has the unique position of being the Mother of the Bride, the Mother of the Man of Honor, the Wife of the Walk(her) Down the Aisler. and the Daughter of a Flower Girl. It's a family affair here, y'all! Introduce yourself if you see her! You won't meet anyone nicer.
