Kelley is Carrie's oldest friend. Kelley grew up through the woods, across the creek and through the woods from Carrie. They did everything together from building forts, playing softball, riding horses to each others' houses, and being in at least 6 different "bands" together. The most famous of which was known as Mavis, and they competed in the 2006 Smithson Valley High School Battle of the Bands. Though Carrie and Kelley attended rival universities Texas A&M University and the University of Texas, they did what no best friends have ever done in that scenario, stayed friends.
Rachel Johnson - Bridesmaid
Rachel and Carrie first met being random partners in a game of Apples to Apples freshman year at Texas A&M. They ended up winning the game as a team of strangers. And if you know the game of Apples to Apples, you know that it basically comes down to a tally of votes of the funniest answers for each of the questions. Carrie and Rachel knew they would make great friends. And they lived together at A&M the next three years until graduating the same day in the same ceremony.
Chelsey Youman - Bridesmaid
Chelsey and Carrie met freshman year at A&M mostly through Bonnie. Chelsey's sassy demeanor, wit and love for getting into mischief and adventure brought the two closer as friends. They lived together at A&M for three years. Highlights include: sneaking into a living room full of guys, army crawling to their bathroom to unlock the window, running into the girlfriend of one of said guys along the mission, pulling her into a dark room and covering her mouth so she couldn't scream (only to tell her it was cool cause it was Carrie and Chelsey, but keep quiet) and then pulling off the greatest prank known to mankind the following day.
Jake Labhart - Best Man
Jake is Travis' older brother. Best friends since the beginning of Travis' existence. Jake has been a very influential person in Travis' life, and somebody he can always call upon.

Katelyn Labhart - Bridesmaid
Katelyn is the baby sister of Travis. Carrie met Katelyn the same night she met Travis and quickly learned what a kind-hearted person she was. After, of course, being intimidated out of her mind by her likeliness to be the unnecessarily-overly-protective-sister type. Thank God she wasn't, even though she might have been if Carrie wasn't so perfect. She also learned that Katelyn could put Travis in his place, which was hilarious. Carrie is looking forward to having her as a sister and teaming up on Travis together!
Heather Labhart - Bridesmaid
Heather is cousin of Carrie's twin sister Bonnie's husband Adam. She is coincidentally the wife of Travis' brother Jake. Carrie knew she was a keeper when she was more than willing (and less than shameless) to take Bonnie and Carrie's picture with Ben Malena, the night Carrie met Travis. Heather is expecting a beautiful baby named Ellie Grace, and has permission to sit down at any point during the ceremony if she needs to.
Ethan Shadden - Groomsman
Ethan and Travis began their friendship around 3rd grade when tackle football began. Ethan's dad was always their coach, and there was an instant connection between the two.

Kevin Sparkman - Groomsman
Kevin, better known as "Sparky," moved to "The 'Boro" (Whitesboro) in the fourth grade, where he and Travis made their initial connection. At first Sparky didn't really fit in with the crowd, but after a weeding out process, all the fellas let Sparky be a part of the gang. They have remained close friends and hope to have Sparky announcing a football game Travis is playing in.
Zane Ferguson - Usher
Zane and Travis had an initial connection at a very early age, but not for good reasons. Zane began his relationship somewhat bitter towards Travis, due to circumstances still undetermined.

Collin Pennell - Usher

Tyler Toney - Usher
Ty and Travis met at the beginning of Travis' freshman year, where there seemed to be an instant connection.

After Travis joined football and Ty began to do a silly trick shot video, their paths went different directions, but they remain good friends.
Logan Woodard - Groomsman
Logan is the older brother of Carrie and Bonnie. Logan is a great man and husband. Anybody that knows the Woodards knows the difficulty of dealing with the TWEENZ, as they call themselves.

He is a better man today because of it.
Adam Frey - Groomsman
Adam is the husband of Bonnie (Carrie's other half). Adam and Travis have had the fortunate opportunity to develop a relationship that looks like it will be lasting a lifetime.

Cole West - Usher
Cole and Travis met early on in college and quickly realized they could be friends. Unknowingly Cole went to school in Prosper while Travis attended the much better school of Whitesboro.

Although Cole never participated in any of the sports, he made his presence known by shouting and encouraging Travis while they took down the much lesser athletic Prosper.
Kenny Powell - Usher
Kenny and Travis first met when Kenny moved to the promised land, also known as Whitesboro America. Once Kenny made the big jump to Whitesboro he quickly placed himself in a position to become instant friends with Travis and others. Although there was the one time Kenny tried to toilet paper Travis' house and didn't realize that Travis and a posse of marksman were patiently waiting in the dark with paintball guns to say hello. After that Kenny embedded himself within the Labhart family and has been a member ever since.
Josh Lambo - Usher
Josh and Travis had their first meeting when Josh joined the Fighting Texas Aggie football team in 2012. After several years on the football team together and spending quality time golfing, hanging out with the Labhart family, and playing some good ole' FIsh Bowl their friendship blossomed. The moment their friendship was sealed for good was when Josh gave Travis a ride to his grandparents house in Irving, and used his calm Chicago driving style to perfection and got him there safely…..
Hillary Binkley - House Party
Hillary and Carrie go back to 5th grade, when Hillary was new and Carrie was astonished that she read chapter books. Find Hillary at the wedding for a laugh or to talk about '90s music, and expect to never win in a battle of wits. Hillary and Carrie can still hold a conversation solely comprised of inside jokes for hours, leaving others feeling uninvited (an unfortunate slight.) Carrie and Hillary felt really old together freshmen year of hike school when they realized that they were merely freshmen, and that it seemed so old to be a freshman when the song "The Freshman" came out. Then they realized it was about freshmen in college and it seemed so far away again. Then they were merely freshmen in college and suddenly felt old again.
Meagan Carpenter - House Party
Meagan and Carrie were forced to talk on the phone in 5th grade when Carrie's neighbor and friend Rebecca and Meagan's older sister were talking on the phone. They ran into each other a few days later in the restroom and they awkwardly shyly discussed how they talked on the phone. The two became better friends through middle school (involving there being a dog on the roof) and high school (she's got some mean ankles.) Meagan showed Carrie what a relationship with Jesus meant, and when Carrie thinks about her life story, she always thinks of Meagan and her eagerness to share Jesus with others.
Kayla Hardy - House Party
Carrie first noticed Kayla's bangs in middle school. Kayla invited only Bonnie to her birthday party in 7th grade (cheerleader exclusiveness,) and then only Carrie to her 8th grade birthday party (athletics exclusiveness.) The two knew they would be close friends when they both agreed to organize a strike in 8th grade athletics. Bonnie, Kayla and Carrie ran the first 100 yards on their mile and the ENTIRE group of athletics girls stopped and went on strike against the mile, with the exception of two unnamed house party members named Hillary and Meagan.
Samantha Fischer - House Party
Sammy and Carrie met in high school when Meagan, Kayla, Hillary and Bonnie let her into their group, even though she went to Spring Branch Middle School. Carrie and Sammy were at their best in Health class junior year. They were watching the birthing video, and Carrie turned to Sammy to tell her that she didn't feel very good. Carrie proceeded to pass out and fall out of her desk, to which Sammy reacted "Carrie, stop faking." A few seconds into the convulsions, Sammy realized Carrie wasn't faking it as she suspected, and hollered to the teacher who said "not now, Sammy, we're watching a movie." When Carrie came to, she yelled at Sammy to take off her clothes because she was so hot. Sammy helped wheel Carrie to the nurse and sat with her while they waited for Lad to get there. Their friendship lasted despite one going to A&M and the other to Baylor.
Alyse Woodard - House Party
Alyse is the wife and better half of Logan, Carrie's older brother. When Logan and Alyse first started dating, Carrie and Bonnie did everything they could to embarrass them and get rid of her, as they typically did with Logan's girlfriends. Alyse withstood all tests though, and would tell Logan on the phone at night, "I didn't see your sisters at school today, but I heard them." Alyse is the kindest, most thoughtful addition to the Woodard family.
