Our Wedding

This was our 3rd date and we went to Schulz Brau for the "Racing of the Wieners" event.

Our 1st Photo Together

Chris met several of Hali's friends that night and a couple of them even said that he was the one! We weren't even officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet, so this was some wild but giddy news. I'm so thankful that they were right!

Our 1st Wedding Together

Chris showed Hali around his hometown including the best BBQ, Tennessee Wesleyan, and the Hiawasee River.

Our Story

Photos

Hali's forever roomie from 2012-2018 when she decided to get married and move to Denver, CO. They enjoy watching trash TV, eating a good hotdog, and exploring the outdoors together. They also have matching tattoos and you never know what you'll experience when you're with them!

Megan Frieling

Maddi is Hali's favorite little blonde friend. They have had the best time leading high school girls together at church for the past 8 years. They enjoy having Jack cook meals for them as well as driving them around town. She is the life of the party and ultimate hype girl!

Maddi Fornadel

From freshman babies in high school to the wedding day, Alexis has been through it ALL with Hali. There's not a life milestone, crisis, or celebration that doesn't have Alexis in it. She is the friend that you can always call no matter the time or circumstance. Just beware that when Soulja Boy comes on, y'all better watch out!

Alexis Kubic

Often referred to as the "Better Boland" since she has to put up with Hali's younger brother everyday. She is beautiful in every way and has an incredible gift with words. Bethany is always ready for a good time and will gladly introduce you to her favorite wines. Whether she is pregnant or not, she will drop it low!

Bethany Grace Boland

Shelby is one of the calmest people that Hali has ever known unless she thinks that her dog, Gilbert, is not behaving appropriately. She is the "mom" of the group, but knows how to have a good time. She loves others deeply and shows grace to all that she knows. There is truly no one quite like her!

Shelby Esterle

From high school basketball days to intramural teams in college, Jaclissa has always given it her all. She has always been someone that Hali can count on, no matter the situation. Jaclissa loves fiercely and will always stand up for what is right. She doesn't like to show her dance moves often, but watch out when she does!

Jaclissa Haislip

DeAnna is the type of friend that will always have your back no matter what. She has taught Hali what it means to be a true friend and to not turn away from the hard things in life. The room is always filled with laughter or teacher talk when we are together, and I would not have it any other way!

DeAnna Sharp

Hali's true inspiration for what it looks like to be the ultimate dog mom. When Sarah is around, there is never a dull moment. She will make you laugh at the most random of things and hype you up no matter what. She is a true VFL and loves Bentley James like one of her own. You better watch out if you're on the dance floor with her!
