Our Wedding

We met on a bus ride to Keeneland organized by mutual friends. Beau was sitting in front of me and we started talking. He told me he was a college basketball coach, I thought that sounded more like a part time job (I was wrong about that by the way). Beau showed me around Keeneland and taught me how to make bets -- its easy, you just put money on the horse that has the best name and just wait for the money to roll in. Long story short, he asked for my number, we went out, we fell in love, got engaged on the Appalachian Trail all hot and sweaty and now we're getting married!! The picture is actually from the first day we met-- we didn't know the picture existed until months later!!

Our Story

Photos

Danielley is my sister turned best friend.  Incredibly lucky to have her, even luckier that she has grown past trying to be my third and strictest parent.  Sometimes it seems like we couldn't be more different, but she is my rock, has a laugh that always makes me laugh, is down to eat ice cream at all times, and is the best mama in the world to my three amazing nephews.  I would be absolutely lost without her.

Danielle Driscoll Hayes

Phoebe is the absolute love of our lives.  She is the most snuggley meathead and just the best doggo in the world.  But, don't take our word for it-- Phoebe single-handedly saved 40 kittens and over 100 children from a burning building last May.  She also teaches English as a second language to dogs in under-served areas.  We recently did one of those dog breed DNA kits and found out Phoebe is a direct descendant of Balto, the wolf-dog hybrid who led a team of sled dogs delivering life-saving diphtheria antitoxin to Nome, Alaska.

Phoebe Driscoll-Braden

AKA Trixie. Trix is endlessly talented, almost to the point of being annoying, she lives & loves with great intensity, & is the most authentic person I know.  When ol' Trix isn't saving lives in the ER, she loves to listen to Top 40 music, be impulsive, drink warm diet coke & play 'Just Dance' on her Nintendo Switch.  Tracy & I have been best friends since college, which is how I know she can eat three number 13's from Sonic in a single sitting. 

Tracy Brader

Beau and Ryan are besties who are more like brothers.  As high school sweethearts to college roommates, these two have been through it all together.   In fact, they are so close that they pushed their twin sized beds together to make one big bed to share when they lived in the dorms freshman year... and they will defend the decision to this day.   In all seriousness, Ryan and his wife Angela have been amazing and supportive friends that we are both insanely grateful for.

Ryan Crowdis

Young Joc. Jocel. Red. Raised in the swamplands, we grew up together fighting alligators and bad hair days in the high humidity.  She's my biggest fan and might just love Beau even more than I do.  Jocie has a huge heart and is extremely generous.  She is actively involved in many charitable organizations. She considers being my best friend her most charitable service.

Jocelyn Richardson

Doug is Beau's work husband.  When they aren't on the court coaching together, Beau and Doug like to go for shirtless runs, long walks and talk about their best dog friends, Phoebe and Charlie Brown.  On road trips, Doug and Beau can often be found going for runs and taking pictures  with important U.S. structures like the Washington Monument and the horse statue in front of PF Changs.

Doug Davenport

Every group of friends needs a SalPal.  Sally is that friend that makes you feel all warm & fuzzy on the inside.  This sweet angel with limbs like pasta noodles is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside; which is saying a lot because she is a total knockout! Sally is the easiest person to love.

Sally Atkins

Boomer is just as fun as his name would suggest.  He and Beau go back to the days of pay-per-view wrestling, oversized jorts, and low-riding cars (shout out to David B for the cement bags in the trunk).   Boomer is an incredible friend and a lovable hunk who enjoys drinking a good beer and binge watching Bachelor in Paradise.

Korey "Boomer" Young

Life's biggest enthusiast!  Brenna brings so much energy to everything she does.  She's one of those people that inspires you to live life with more positivity.  If we all heckle her enough, we might just get lucky and Brenna will do her signature kick split at the reception (or ceremony, who knows?!).  Brenna enjoys dancing to the music in her head and blowing glitter in the face of Debbie downers.

Brenna Campbell

Beau and Corey are old friends that bonded over their affinity for pierced ears-- studs, hoops, bars, these guys wore them all!  You can find Corey and I locked in a crip walking battle at our reception.

Corey Mattingly

Jordan is the protector of our friend group.  She is fiercely loyal and loves her friends intensely.  She's the one with the beautiful golden locks and was once referred to as the "queen bee" of our group -- she's really embraced that title.   Jordan can often be found wearing large sunglasses and a blanket, named crummy, on her head.

Jordan Loper

Brendan, AKA Brenny Boo Boo, is Beau's future brother-in-law and the two have bonded over their love of basketball, Coach K, and the Driscoll sisters.  Brendan is inclusive and fun!  He always goes out of his way to make everyone feel included and special. When Brendan isn't working, he can be found climbing goal posts, screaming like a girl in the rain,  flipping his sons through the air and asking uncomfortable questions at family gatherings.
