Our Wedding

Elliott and Avery met through Elliott's brother and best man, Will. Will and his wife introduced them and the rest is history. They dated through Elliott's final years at Anderson University and through Avery's entire career at Clemson University. Elliott popped the question during Avery's final year at Clemson and they are now both teaching and planning a wedding in all their spare time. They recently adopted a dog together too!

Sidney and I have been best friends for many years. We lived together for 3 years in Clemson and have been inseparable since. She is my go-to girl and my favorite Hallmark movie watching partner. She has been such an important part of mine and Elliott's life and we are so grateful that she is a part of it!

Will is the best little brother a person could ever ask for. I couldn't make it through life without him and I can't think of a better person to have as my best man. Also, Will asked me to be his best man and so I thought I would return the favor so he wouldn't beat me up.

Delaney is one of my closest friends. We bonded over our time at Clemson becoming early childhood teachers. Our relationship really took off when we spent a year getting our Masters right down the hall from one another in Kindergarten classrooms. Elliott and I are so excited to have her as a part of the big day!

Delaney Aull

Cole was my college roommate at Anderson University. He is one of the best guys that I know and the closest thing I have to a second brother. He is also the main reason I stayed at Anderson freshman year. Trips in Cole's Bronco to church, Taco Bell, QT, Cook Out, and every other fast food restaurant in Anderson, SC are some of my favorite college memories. I can't wait to have him by my side on me and Avery's big day.

Cole Foster

Sarah is not only a dear friend of mine but she is also my soon-to-be sister in law! She is part of the reason that Elliott and I met and has been a big part of our relationship for years. We are so excited to have her bright and fun-loving personality as a part of the wedding!

Andrew was my college roommate my junior and senior year at Anderson. I never would've thought that the guy that played the flute across the hall freshman year would end up being one of my best friends. Me and Andrew have done it all together through the years. Everything from judging a high school boys pageant, to playing hours of video games together, to making Cole pass out from laughter in a QT. We have so many great memories together already, I can't wait to add me and Avery's wedding day to the long list.

Andrew Adams

Natalie is a dear friend that came from my time in Clemson. Natalie and I met at orientation and our friendship took off right away! Natalie has always been one of my biggest supporters and someone that I could run to with anything. We are both so excited to have her as a part of the wedding!

Carson was a fellow history major with Cole and Andrew but was basically a fifth roommate for us junior and senior year. Carson is one of the funniest people that I have ever met. Without even saying anything Carson can make anyone laugh. My junior year of college, my truck broke down on the three hour drive to Anderson. Carson and Andrew drove an hour out of Anderson to come get me, turned right back around and drove an hour back to Anderson all in one night. That was when I knew that Carson was one of the best people I had ever met. I can't wait to see the amount of joy and UNBELIEVABLE dance moves he brings me and Avery's wedding.

Holly is my childhood best friend! We were inseparable as little girls. Holly and I planned our weddings out down to the very last detail at the age of 10. We even planned to build houses beside each other with secret underground tunnels so they could always go see each other whenever they wanted. Now that a wedding is actually happening, I definitely couldn’t do it without Holly by my side!

Brice was literally the first guy that I met at Anderson. Me and Brice were in the same FYE group and we were the only two guys out of the group of 14. Brice was way cooler than me so I tried my best to keep up with him. Me and Brice were also one of the best wide receiver duos Anderson University intramurals has ever had. We helped the "Philly Cheesesteak Special" team to many wins and I'm probably going to need him to help carry me at the wedding too.

To know Jasmine is to love Jasmine. She is the life of the party and the smile that brightens the room. We met through a mutual friends wedding and hit it off right away. She quickly became one of my favorite people and someone I couldn’t imagine our wedding day without! 

Jasmine Watson

Evie has always held a special place in my heart. I was there the day she was born and I have missed her dearly since the day she moved away from SC. She is such a precious little girl and we can't wait to have her be a part of the wedding!

Evelyn Nere

Hazel is the life of the party and we can't wait to have her walk down the aisle! She is full of personality and as cute as can be. We love Hazel and are so excited she gets to be a part of our special day!

We have had the JOY of babysitting/nannying the Douglas boys for years now. These little boys will always hold a special place in our heart. We can’t believe how much our little Mason has grown up! 

Mason Douglas

Powers is the other half of the Douglas duo and one of the funniest kids in the world. Powers has had us wrapped around his finger for a long time and we just knew we couldn’t find a better ring bearer than him!
