The brother to the Groom, Tyler is a USC graduate and Columbia native. Now living in Charleston, he works as a legislative consultant for the National MS Society. If you have trouble telling the two apart on Wedding Day, just remember: Carson is the smarter, better-looking one.

The best sister a girl could ask for. What more do I need to say? Oh, and, she's sort of a big deal. You can catch one of her shows at Second City.

I met Margaret, who I like to call Pegs, freshman year of college and later studied abroad with in Innsbruck, Austria. Even though we attended separate universities and have always lived in different cities we have managed to create one heck of a friendship. I can always count on her for my 6:00pm "dork report".

A connoisseur of life, Lawson was Carson's roommate at 101 Line Street (Apt. C) in Charleston, SC. Want to hear a funny story? Just ask him...

Mary Carroll and I met freshman year of college at the University of Alabama. Though we were never actually roommates, she basically lived on my couch (even though I had an open guest bed) for 5 years. She's awesome.

William (aka Billy--nobody calls him "William") and Carson grew up a few streets apart from each other in Columbia, S.C. Although neither live in Columbia any longer, reports say the city is still recovering...

Abby and I met my sophomore year at the University of Alabama. Pure in heart, Abby spends her days teaching first grade in Atlanta, GA where she lives with her husband and fellow 'Bama alum, Martin! I'm "upsessed" with her!

David is one of Carson's oldest friends, going all the way back to preschool, where the two met in Columbia, S.C. He's since fled his southern roots, choosing instead to reside in Santa Cruz, California. Fun Fact: David was the guy hosting the pool party at which Claire and Carson met.

I met Rick back when we were both in high school in Albany, Georgia. Since then, Rick has been a mainstay, both in my parent's home and, more importantly, in my life. When he's not dog/cat/house sitting for Julie and Ira in Athens, Rick can be found in Atlanta, Georgia. Regardless of where he is, however, his "sparkle" is undeniable.

Marshall (pictured: left) and Carson have known each other for approximately seven years, though if you ask Carson, he'll say it feels more like fifteen. Ever the provocateur, Marshall is always a good time. Ask him how he feels about Election: 2016. (Side note: Marshall and his wife, Julia, are expecting their first child this fall! Congrats, guys!)

Tamara and I met in social work school at the University of Alabama. Actually, that's a lie. We met at our freshman dorm, Parham. I remember Tamara knocking on my door with a big tray of homemade mac-n-cheese offering me a plate of some home cooked food which was hard to come by in a dorm with nothing but a microwave! Since then, I have grown to love Tamara and she has been one of the most inspiring and supportive people I have ever met.

Jon and Carson met while "studying" at the University of South Carolina. Bonding over a shared passion for music, their creativity spawned the greatest hip-hop duo. Ever.

Musician, programmer, poet, Captain of Atkins Shark--We're still not quite sure what exactly Andrew does, but whatever it is, he does it well. His address says he lives in Atlanta but even after a few years, we're still skeptical.

Alexandra and I met through our sorority, AOPi, at the University of Alabama. I specifically remember our friendship growing on a trip to NYC for Heather's 21st birthday. I can always count on her for a good laugh and a high kick--consider yourself warned!

Heather and I met really early in my freshman year at University of Alabama. She was my grand big in our sorority and I most often refer to her as "Nani". She has been such an amazing friend to me ever since! Check out her super chic fashion line, Bohemian Bop.

Matt is another of Carson's oldest friends (i.e. he's old). Growing up in Columbia, the two could often be found cheering on the Gamecocks in the fall....until Matt went to Clemson...

My oldest cousin, Jess, is my culinary kindred spirit--whether it's that "one last" splash of wine on a Friday night or a veritable Thai buffet on a Sunday evening, I can always count on Jess to be on the same page. To be fair, I'm not exactly what you would consider a "hard sell."

Halley is the baby of the cousins and the younger sister of Bryce and Keller. Despite growing up with those two, somehow she still turned out to be pretty awesome!

Beth and I met about three years ago in Atlanta, Georgia. Aside from being the best hair stylist in town, she is a pretty great friend!
