Chelsea is my big sister! We have always had a close relationship and the older we’ve gotten the closer we’ve became. Even into our adult years she still looks after me and is one of my biggest supporters. She is the smarter sister. HA!

Bailey is really my cousin, but she is more of a bonus sister! She is one of the coolest and funniest girls I know who loves and cares so deeply about her family and friends. I couldn’t imagine not having her by my side when I say I DO!

I met Sheena at Camp Wesley Woods in middle school. We bonded over our experience at the high ropes course where we both saw our lives flash before us. After the summer we went our separate ways and reunited Junior year of high school on the dance floor at prom. She has been my forever best friend since. Beware, she is mostly likely going to show everyone up on the dance floor!

Nikki is my built in best friend! She is my cousin and we grew up together roaming the woods of Hembree Holler (our great-grandfathers property in Townsend) and riding our 4-wheelers. When we are together mischief is most likely taking place. We’ve been by each others side since 6th grade and have seen the good, bad, and ugly of each other. She’s my partner in crime and it’s a given for her to stand by my side on mine and Derek’s big day. If you want to know an embarrassing story about me, ask Nikki!

Kelsey is the friend I never knew I needed to meet in my twenties! We went to the same high school, but it wasn’t until 2020 when we officially met through a Bible study she was hosting. Our friendship instantly blossomed and she has became my ultimate hype girl! She is my favorite travel buddy who I can count on to have our itinerary set. Our friendship has been natural and just made sense, it’s easy! I couldn’t imagine this sweet friend being anywhere else other than by my side on mine and Derek’s wedding day.

Mace is my nephew, and I’ve always loved him as if he were my own. I was at the hospital when he was born and since then he has always been special to me. We enjoy talking sports and playing Madden which he always beats me at! He’s my buddy, and I can’t wait to have him as my Best Man.

I met Andrew at church where we quickly became friends and formed a special bond. We keep each other in check and share in the ups and downs life can throw at you. You can most often find me and Andrew working on a project at church. I can always count on him and immediately knew he would be one of my groomsmen.

Matt is a long time friend I met at church when I lived in North Carolina. Our friendship has been going strong for 20 years. We talk almost every day, and I can count on him to provide me with a “Did you know fact”. I’m pumped to have him as a groomsman.

Chad will be one of the officiants of our wedding and also a groomsman. I met Chad when I first moved to TN and started going to church at Rocky Branch. The first time we met was at a church bonfire, and I knew right away we would be friends. Chad has played a big part in my spiritual walk with Christ, and I can’t wait to have him a part of our big day. The force has always been strong with our friendship!

Tyler is one of my closets friends from North Carolina that I met in college at South Western. He has become my fishing buddy who I often take trips with. We’ve maintained a good friendship since I’ve moved to Tennessee and have always made it a point to visit one another whether it’s at a car show or meeting up in Pigeon Forge. If you’re looking to remodel or do body work to your car, Tyler is your man! He will also outfish you.

Steve is another close friend who lives in North Carolina. We were introduced by his father in-law I was a neighbor to. Once meeting Steve I quickly converted him to a Tennessee fan and he never looked back. I can’t wait to have him as a groomsman! He is most likely to show up in orange.
