I have known Houston for quite some time now mainly because he is my older brother. I could not imagine having anyone else by my side in June than Houston. Houston enjoys hunting and spending time riding his bike or playing with his dog Maeby.

Carter and I have known each other since high school but really did not deepen our relationship until we both pledged the same fraternity at Lipscomb. As we got to know each other more, we both realized each other's love for the outdoors, and since then we have traveled quite a few miles together. I am proud to call Carter one of my best friends, and even prouder to have him stand next to me.

Growing up, Andrew was always around and a part of the family. Because of this, I consider him a brother. He has always been a role model and a mentor of mine, and having him stand by me on this momentous day is an honor.

Luke and I have always had a very special relationship. Him being Emmaline's oldest younger brother, we have been able to get to know each other very well over the last several years. Once he is officially my brother-in-law I am legally obligated to take him duck hunting (for real this time).

As Emmaline's youngest younger brother, Carter has been the life of the party for as long as I've known him. He is witty, kind, and an amazing brother to his siblings. My groomsmen group would not be complete without him.

I met Reed on the first day of college. We quickly gravitated toward each other talking about the outdoors and life in general. We even decided to live with each other for a short time, I could not be more grateful to have Reed by my side on this day.

Mason and I first met when I joined Tau Phi freshman year. Although he was two years older than me, we quickly became close friends. We bonded over our love for the outdoors and the Florida gators and quickly grew closer.

Reed, or as we like to call him, Bobby, met my freshman year of college when he was a sophomore. We had the pleasure of being roommates in a less-than-condemned house where plenty of memories were made. I value Reed's friendship greatly and am honored to be able to call him a friend.

Cody has been a close friend ever since my sophomore year in college. I first met Cody around a ping pong table while a heated conversion was going on about fantasy football. Cody has been a close friend to me. We have had countless adventures and stories together, it is an honor to have Cody by my side.

Cameron and I met once I pledged Tau Phi. A year later we were roommates in the same house along with Reed Burgess and Saylor Roach. Cameron and I have made many memories together over the last several years and I can't wait to have him as a groomsman
