Things to Do

Life-Long Best Friend of the Groom. The Groom and he were so close that after Terrel moved to North Carolina in high school, the Groom told his mom he was going ‘out for a second’ and drove all the way to North Carolina, picked him up, and he ended up staying for the whole summer. He even stayed with the Groom’s parents while the Groom was volunteering through his church's Salkehatchie Summer Service for a week!

Terrel Benton

The Bride's Older Sister. The only person, beside the Bride’s mom, that will ever have a missed call from the Bride. The Bride only calls Stephanie. The Bride calls her for advice, to tell her any and everything knowing it goes no further than that conversation, to run outfits by, to scream that she needs to come home already. When the Bride and her get together, their mother can do nothing more than laugh, shake her head, smile, & say, “oh my crazy girls.” Oh and stock up on snacks, the Bride and her love snacks. 

Stephanie Lagasse

The Bride's Best Friend of 6 years. They were each other’s first friend made in college while attending the College of Charleston. They met when being forced by the powers that be (our mentors in charge of a program we were choosing to be at) to play Disc Golf. The Bride nor he should have been 1) outside or 2) allowed to throw a disc golf. The Bride goes to throw the disc golf and it goes 30 feet to the left of where she was aiming, heading directly for Zane. The Bride says it was at least a foot way from him head, he says it clipped his hair—we will never know what truly happen, but they spent the rest of the day complaining about how hot it was, how they wanted to go & a beautiful friendship was formed. 

Zane Anderson

Bride's Bestie for 3 years, partner-in-crime, maid of honor, & person who got to see the Bride & Groom's relationship from the very beginning! She had the pleasure of meeting the Bride during her first day of training for T-Mobile when she was seated next to her. The Bride was her normal odd self, but it made Tracey laugh and started a friendship. They got really close after they went to the same section after training and used each other as motivation and become a power team that could not be stopped from the top!

Tracey Pickel

Brother-like-Cousin of the Groom that guided the Groom, alongside his dad-the Groom’s Uncle-to be the man he is today. He was there for every milestone, for every conversation needed, to take the Groom hunting & fishing, teach him how to ‘fix’ pretty much anything, and give the Bride the man of her dreams.
