Our Story
Our Story
It all started back in 2020 with the most perfect first date. Connor impressed Brynne with a night at the Georgia Aquarium followed by a great dinner, and then a sports bar to watch Brynne's favorite at the time, Alabama football. Life led them in slightly different directions but soon brought them back together. There was always a spark and this time the timing was right. It was real and what they both wanted. They fell in love and realized their love as one was even greater. Taking things seriously they decided to move in together, and welcomed their new family member, Murphy, their loving German Shepherd. Both of them loved the start of their little family.
After 3 years of love, laughter, and many great memories...Connor proposed and Brynne said yes!
So now they are planning the happiest day of their lives. Just so happens Brynne now cheers for the Tennessee Vols!
They can’t wait to celebrate with all of you at the wedding, surrounded by the people who have supported them along the way.

Wedding Party
Ciara Hatfield - Maid of Honor
Ciara has been Brynne's ride-or-die since they met back in 2021, and Brynne couldn't imagine this day without her by her side. She's not only Brynne's best friend but also engaged to one of the groomsmen, Riley—so naturally, they've shared plenty of laughs (and shots:)) on double dates over the years. She's smart, loyal, and always the life of the party, and Brynne is so lucky to have her as her Maid of Honor!
Carlyn Costo - Bridesmaid
Carlyn and Brynne first met while working at Dress Up, and instantly clicked. She’s been by Brynne's side ever since—through beach trips, late-night talks, and plenty of dance floor moments. Whether they're soaking up the sun or breaking it down at a wedding, Carlyn is always the one Brynne can count on to bring the fun and the good vibes. Brynne is so excited to have her forever dancing partner standing with her on such a special day!
Julianna Walker - Bridesmaid
Julianna came into Brynne's life through Dress Up, but she quickly became so much more than a coworker—she’s been a mentor, a role model, and one of the most grounding forces in Brynne's life. Her wisdom, kindness, and unwavering support have gotten her through so many seasons, and Brynne always admired the way she carries herself with such grace and strength. Having her by Brynne's side on this day means the world to her and Brynne will forever be thankful for the light she’s brought into her life.
Kayley Darling - Bridesmaid
Kayley isn’t just becoming Brynne’s sister-in-law—she’s truly become the sister Brynne has always wished for. From the very beginning, Kayley has been someone Brynne could lean on, trust, and feel completely herself around. Her warmth, kindness, and unwavering support have meant the world, and their bond has grown into something so special. Brynne is beyond grateful to be gaining not just a sister-in-law, but a lifelong friend and confidante. Having Kayley by her side on this day is a beautiful reminder that family is more than just blood—it’s about love, trust, and choosing each other every step of the way.
Brittany DeGuibert - Bridesmaid
Brittany has been the best friend a girl could ever ask for—always there with the perfect advice, the kindest words, and a heart full of love. Married to groomsman Tyler and mom to the sweet flower girl, Brittany wears many hats with grace and joy. From wedding planning tips to home décor inspiration, she’s been Brynne’s go-to girl for just about everything. But more than that, she’s been a constant friend—steady, genuine, and full of heart. Brynne is so grateful for the beautiful friendship they share and couldn’t imagine this day without her.
Taylor Arndt - Bridesmaid
Taylor is one of Brynne’s closest friends and biggest cheerleaders. Whether they’re on a beach trip mixing up fun drinks or just hanging out and sharing laughs, Taylor’s energy and positivity always light up the room. She’s been there for so many unforgettable moments and is always Brynne’s number one hype woman—lifting her up, making her smile, and reminding her how amazing she is. Brynne feels lucky to have a friend like Taylor to share life’s adventures, big and small.
Annabelle Ham - Heavenly Bridesmaid
Annabelle and Brynne were like two peas in a pod—inseparable friends who dreamed together about this very day long before it arrived. Brynne has carried those shared dreams close to her heart, and today more than ever, she wishes Annabelle could be here to celebrate by her side. Though Annabelle isn’t here in person, her spirit is felt in every moment, and their unbreakable bond continues to guide and comfort Brynne. She walks into this new chapter holding Annabelle’s love with her always, knowing that true friendship never fades—even across time and distance.

Tyler is also married to Brittany, one of our lovely bridesmaids, and together they're the proud parents of our adorable flower girl. When he’s not on the golf course, you’ll find Tyler cooking up something amazing in the kitchen — he’s truly a master behind the grill.
Logan Mattix - Groomsmen
Meet Logan, one of our awesome groomsmen! Connor and Logan met while playing baseball at Georgia College, and from the moment they met, they were instantly inseparable.
