Mallory has been one of my very best friends since we were 14. We were in the Summer Grove youth group together and have continued to maintain our relationship throughout college at Louisiana Tech. We have laughed, cried, prayed, and dreamed together about our future marriages. I am so grateful she is my maid of honor, and I get to be her matron of honor in July!

I met this guy Isaac pretty soon after Beach Retreat after meeting Brooke. He has turned into a lifelong best friend and his passion for the Lord, thrifting, and sneakers as well as being engaged at the same time has allowed us to grow super close. He has always supported me and Brooke and is one of the most kind-hearted guys one will ever meet. He also slaps at tennis and drives a jeep which is cool I guess. #takethelightsoffyourjeep

Mason was the first guy I met at college and grew a connection to. He got me plugged into Temple and is the main reason my relationship with God kicked off in college. I would not be where I am without him, and his willingness to third wheel is unmatched. He also got me really into sneakers. Also if you would like to donate to his hellcat fund he would be forever grateful. #shmediumball

Kelley married my brother Jonathan in 2019, and we have a sweet sister-in-law relationship. Even though Kelley and Jonathan live in Fort Worth, TX, they maintain a close relationship with EJ and me. We love to visit them and our puppy nephews! I stood by Kelley in her wedding, and now I am so excited for her to stand by me in mine.

Meredith was one of my first friends and mentors in Ruston. When I have needed encouragement, Meredith has always been willing to open up her home and offer a listening ear, a word of encouragement, and a warm homemade brownie with ice cream on top! She has watched mine and EJ's relationship evolve and has always been there for wisdom and advice when needed!

Me and Evan didn't get close until after Passion 2020. After that conference, God started to work in his heart and grow him beyond his imagination. I stood right beside that growth and helped and advised him in every way I could. We grew together and he has supported me and Brooke every step of the relationship. Also this man is a baller and shotcaller. #rippinlips

Kaylee lived with me in Ruston for a few months while we were engaged together and is now married to EJ's best man, Isaac. Kaylee and I always have a blast together! We talk about anything and everything on our minds when we are with each other. Kaylee and Isaac are mine and EJ's absolute favorite couple to spend time with. I couldn't have wished for a more fun roommate to live with!

I met Caleb this past year but didn't get close to him until pretty recently when he was in my discipleship group. Discipling him in his faith and also his major has allowed me to grow close to him and watch him grow in the Lord. Since that D-group, our friendship has rapidly evolved and I am thankful for our awesome friendship. Also, super thankful for our common interest in pokemon, as we are each others only support in that area. #gottacatchemall

Preston and I got super close pretty soon after Beach Retreat my freshman year. Mason introduced me to him, and after I saw his 1979 Chevy truck, I almost proposed to him (JK), but after that moment our friendship grew. From wrestling Magnolia (his dog) to helping him fix his truck, I would do anything for him and he would do anything for me and Brooke (probably). He has watched our relationship grow and loves both of us so much. #whatthedogdoin

Kara was in the Summer Grove youth group with me throughout middle school and high school and has been a dear friend ever since. Kara was already in the college ministry at Temple when I came to college, so she watched mine and EJ's relationship grow from the start. Kara has since gotten married to her Temple Sweetheart, and her relationship with Connor has been an encouraging model for mine and EJ's relationship.

Macy went to North Desoto with EJ at the same time that she was in the youth group with me at Summer Grove. Though then, she did not know that she would one day stand in the wedding of two of her friends that did not know each other at the time! Now Macy and I now sing together on the worship team at Temple, where EJ and I attend church in Ruston. Macy is one of our dearest friends!

Dalton and I met his freshman year as he, Isaac, Caleb, and I were in the same discipleship group. He has one of the most servant hearts I have ever seen, and we immediately became great friends during that D-group. His love for soccer (even though he played for Benton) and his love for me and Brooke has allowed us to grow super close. #elonmuskowesusmoney
