Our Wedding

In August of 2016, Emily moved to North Carolina to attend Southeastern Bible College. Part of the requirements was to pick a Christian service church. She picked Faith Church in Goldsboro, which happened to be the church Alec attended and grew up in. They would see each other around church, but not knowing who the other was, they kept to themselves. Over a series of a few months Alec and Emily both started talking..about each other. It wasn't long until a couple of mutual friends, Alexis and Hannah, got involved and started to make things happen for them. Of course in the age of social media, that is where the two really hit it off. It wasn't until the end of the Spring semester that Alec worked up enough courage to physically introduce himself and make a move. The two kept in touch over the Summer and traveled back and forth to see one another. July of 2017, they started dating. Fast forward 4.5 years, they truly are each others best friend. After enduring long distance for most of their relationship, they have learned to rely and trust one another. Looking back on all the paths that led them to one another, they both agree it was God who brought them together. They have been able to see God's hand in bringing a girl from Tennessee and a boy from North Carolina together and becoming each others future spouse. Currently they are busy tackling new jobs, new roles and cities. Alec is a salesman for Brock Equipment. Emily works in Marketing at the Goldsboro YMCA. In their off time, they work on renovating Alec's (Emily's future) home, travel back and forth from Tennessee, and being with friends and family. They are so excited for this new journey together and they can't wait to spend May 14th with the people they love.

Our Story

Madison brings a party everywhere she goes. Best friends since the 1st grade, Madison and Emily's friendship has never changed. They've spend countless summers, pool parties, sleepovers, living room concerts singing Hannah Montana with their friend Delani, vacations and school days together. Madison's friendship is true and selfless. Emily can't wait to have her by her side on May 14th. 

Madison

Since day one, AJ has been Alec's biggest idol, teacher, superhero, and friend. From working in the backyard shop on countless projects to hiking the Appalachian trail, Alec and his Dad have always been partners. Its because of this and countless other reasons that AJ will be standing next to his son as the Best Man. 

Lindsay is nothing short of CRAZY, but in a good way. She is hilarious and always the one to get you laughing. She is the 4th and final White Sister. Only 11 months apart, Lindsay and  Emily have spent every waking moment together. From sharing clothes, make up, rooms, and even apartments, you can say they're pretty close. They're more than sisters, they're each others best friend.

The youngest of the Linton boys, Gideon is the stud of the group. He is giving both Alec and Isaac a run for the title of tallest Linton. He is extremely passionate and resembles Alec in many ways including attitude and mannerisms.

Katie is the eldest of the White Sister's. You can usually find her taking care of the whole family. She is Emily's biggest cheerleader and is always willing to help a sister is out no matter what. Her love grows deep and she puts everyone before herself. She is the definition of what means to be the First Born and Big Sister.

Katie

What Isaac lacks in finesse, he most certainly makes up for in heart. There is no one better to have your back or to give you a hand. Never one to back down from a challenge or a job, Isaac can be counted on to get things done. 

Isaac

Leslie falls second in line with the White Sisters. Emily credits a lot of her creative inspiration from looking up to her big sister. She is a great listener and never hesitant to pick up the phone. You always can find her taking care of her 2 year old little girl, Aubrey. Les has a huge heart and is always there for you no matter what. 

Leslie 

While not a Linton, Alec still considers Garrett a brother that is as close as his own blood. Garrett has the important job of making Alec feel short, and can always be counted on to offer the best advice. Even though they live states apart, Alec and Garrett still manage to be close friends. Garrett originally said no to being a groomsman (a joke of course), but eventually came around.

Emily is gaining another sister! Marisa is a cat mom, a charcuterie board queen, and lights up the room everywhere she goes! She is fully responsible for creating Emily and Alec's beautiful engagement photos. Marisa has always made Emily feel welcomed to the family. She gives great advice and helps you gather all your thoughts. She has single handily had to listen to Emily be indecisive on wedding decisions, but she does happily. Emily couldn't imagine having a better sister-in-law. 

Marisa

Diapers...that's about the time Alec and Andrew started hanging out. Since then they've been through 4 trucks, 2 motorcycles, 2 four wheelers, and countless miles of adventures and the occasional wreak. The number of memories these two have are countless, and continue to grow. 

Andrew

Delani and Emily have been friends longer than Emily can remember. Almost everyday after school Emily went with Delani to her Nana's home. There aren't many childhood memories without Delani, Madison, and Emily all together. Delani is someone who is your friend no matter what. She laughs with you, cries with you and is always someone you can count on. 

Delani

One of Alec's original childhood friends, Ty has been there since the start. You'll never meet a more annoying NC State fan (aren't they all?), but you'll also never meet a better friend. Ty introduced Alec to the game of golf and the two find time to hit the course whenever possible. 

Emily has known Deah her whole life. Funny enough, Emily use to hate playing against Deah growing up in YMCA basketball (Emily was terrible, Deah was not). Their Junior year of high school they became the best of friends and never lost touch. Some Emily's funniest memories are when her and Deah had to endure their senior year of cheerleading together.   Deah is Emily's greatest secret keeper and a true friend. 

Deah

A constant friend, Luke and Alec have known each other for most of their lives. If you need someone to make you laugh, shake your head at, or simply pick up the phone and talk to, Luke is your guy. He's as thoughtful as they come and is always willing to come running when a friend calls. 

Luke

Tina is one of Emily's most cherished friends. She is super fun and uplifting. They met Emily's Freshman year at Southeastern College in North Carolina. Even after Emily moved back to TN they never lost touch. From nightly trips to Raleigh back in college, to weekend visits in Suffolk celebrating Tina's new baby boy; they are always finding reasons to celebrate the new stages in each others life.
