I don’t remember a time not knowing Hillary she has just always been a part of my life! I met Phillip when I went to visit Hillary and we went to his job. I love to read and be creative whether that be painting/drawing or making crafts! I don’t think I could pick just one!!!
Telling the story of the little green monsters that throw flaming flowers at Rudy’s house and Hillary losing her mind laughing always stands out!
Or Hillary hiding under a blanket when we would have movie nights at my house because we would watch scary movies and she would watch Disney shows/movies!
Or going to Hillary’s house and I would always get head butted by her goats in the butt every time!
Or my favorite was when we would be playing dress up/makeup while we were little and being “mama’s” to our baby dolls! 🥰
There’s so many stories I cherish with Hillary these are just some funny ones that stick out! I just love you and wish you the world!!!!!
Taylor Grey - Best Man
I met Phillip in the 6th grade. I enjoy fishing and motorcycles. One of the funniest memories was teaching Phillip how to ride motorcycles.
Rudy Norton - Matron of Honor
I met Hillary in 2nd grade on the playground. We've been best friends ever since! I just had a little girl in October! All my hobbies and interests have taken a back seat for now :) We used to get fruit roll-ups that would pop out little stars you could stick on your tongue. Some how Hillary wound up with a dozen stuck to her face (pretty sure Kerri did it).
Wes Carnley - Groomsmen
Phillip is my brother. I like to fish and hunt, and I collect Kennedy half dollars. Everyone thought growing up that Phillip and I were twins. Phillip's name was supposed to be Ellard Bubba.
Alyson Sutton - Bridesmaid
We're sisters 👯♀️💕 My fave hobby is shed hunting with my husband. We have a lot. I don't know 😬
Eric Carnley - Groomsmen
Groom is my brother—we Carnley men all like to fish. Favorite memory is scaring Phillip in the driveway at night it was epic.
Emily Pope - Bridesmaid
Fav big sis obviously 💁🏼♀️, Phillip came to top golf to celebrate our 25th birthday. After school McDonald's trips and jamming out to all the music
Daniel Wallace - Groomsmen
I met Phillip on my first day of college where we just clicked from day 1. I enjoy watching sports, fishing, playing music, and video games. With all the jokes and horsing around it is hard to just choose one memory. But I will never forget that time that Phillip lifted me off the ground with a single hand. I also got Phillip into rock music.
Meredith Myers - Bridesmaid
Hillary and I met in our first semester of college in Dr. Cathcart’s Biology’s class. Thanks to her preparedness, a piece of paper and a pen we shared the next four years of college together. I enjoy being outdoors. My husband, daughter, goats, dogs, horse, mule, and cows keep me busy 24/7. I would love to run a marathon one day. I could always count on Hillary to send me “field” of good luck clovers when I needed it for a test or interview. From our donut dates to making the mistake of taking an evening biology class and to her being there when I graduated ABAC, my college experience wouldn’t have been the same without her. After college, we have had a few spontaneous meetups that I will always cherish! I’m excited to be there for her on her BIG day!
Dylan Thomas - Groomsmen
I first met Phillip in college at Spartanburg Tech. My favorite memory with Phillip is when Phillip had to release the redheaded Aiken anger when we were laying pavers!
Sarah Hurdle - Bridesmaid
I met Hillary in College at ABAC. I love animals, horse riding, and spending time with family and friends. There’s so many, I could go on forever. I met Hillary when she became my roommate at ABAC. We would stay up all night watching shows we probably would’ve never watched otherwise, laughing and talking about everything under the sun. We would have chick-fil-a picnics in the hallway between our bedrooms in tornado watches because she knew how much they freaked me out. Even after I moved off campus she showed up at my house and kidnapped me for an adventure to the Blue Springs and we had so much fun. We were always there for each other in the craziest of times. Always listening and helping without judgement and I couldn’t be more lucky to still have that friendship with her. I never expected to have a lifelong friend out of a random college roommate, but I’m so thankful I do.
Chris Bruner - Groomsmen
I am married to Phillip's sister. I met Phillip when he was a senior in high school. I like hunting, fishing, and spending time with family. I can't tell the whole story, but ask him about coming home and knocking on the bedroom door in Spartanburg. Phillip and I lived together the 1st year I was married to Andrea because she traveled during the week and was only home on weekends.
Anna Carnley - Junior Bridesmaid
I met the groom when I was born. Two years ago, on Christmas, I met the bride. When I was three years old, I was a better fisherman than my uncle. One of my favorite memories is when Uncle Phillip bought the worst dirty Santa gift for Christmas. Uncle Phillip licks the ones he loves on the face, and sometimes I try to get him first, but he beats me to it.
Henry Bruner - Ring Bearer
The groom is my uncle. I enjoy playing Pokémon and watching TV. My favorite memory with Uncle Phillip and Hillary is when they came to watch me play baseball, and I scored a run. Uncle Phillip likes to play wrestle with me and have fun.
Lena Carnley - Flower Girl
Lena is Phillip’s niece. She is your typical, wide-open, fun-loving, sweet, sassy and smart 2 year old! She loves playing outside, loves arts and crafts, painting and coloring! She loves animals, especially farm animals! Her favorite shows are Bluey, Mickey & Minnie, and Spidey! She loves her mama, daddy, and puppy, and all of her family! She will be a big sister to little brother Jack very soon! She spit up on her Uncle Phillip at his birthday party at the lake when she was just 5 months old! (Funny!) Sitting on the couch letting Aunt Hillary play hairstylist! (Sweet) She loves her new aunt Hilly and her uncle Philly!
Rhett Bruner - Ring Bearer
Uncle Phillip brought Hillary to meet us at church. I'm the middle kid. I like to hunt with Dad and ride my bike. Uncle Phillip and Hillary likes to play outside with me and watch me ride my bike. I like Clemson like my Uncle Phillip.
Aubrey Chase Bruner - Ring Bearer
I met Hillary with Uncle Phillip at my house. I like watching Paw Patrol, Rubble and Crew, and Batman. I like telling Uncle Phillip and Hillary, "I'm Batman." Uncle Phillip likes to play with me, and I like to pick flowers for Hillary.
