Kalyn and I have known each other since the start of college through Cru at UGA. We had the joy of living together for three years, which meant about a million car talks, random nights filled with our silly antics and "ocean" sized drinks, and many sweet moments leading our college women's Bible study together. I'm crazy grateful for Kalyn in my life and I don't know who better to call my maid of honor.

Holly, wait...ahem...CLEVELAND and I met my senior year of college who she'd just joined staff with Cru at UGA. We met and were basically instant friends. We love our Milledge walks and our friendly feud over which Athens coffee shop makes the best matcha in town. I could not ask for a better matron of honor than Holly.

Katie and I met through church about 3ish years ago. She's such an intentional and thoughtful friend that is almost always down to play any kind of game or sport with me. Katie is pretty friggin' sweet and anyone who meets her is blessed to love her.

I honestly don't remember life without Kara. We grew up together together like sisters bonding over being the only girls in the neighborhood seemingly. Our young adult years have really been some of my favorite though as we've gotten to hang out just us. I'm incredibly grateful for Kara and honored to have her as a bridesmaid.

Katie is one of my amazing sister-in-laws-to-be! She is so lively and fun and it's really sweet to see how she deeply cares for others. I've also loved getting to bond over being in wedding planning season together :)

Karissa is another one of my amazing sister-in-laws to be! She is one of a kind and so down to earth. We love to bond over our thrifted finds and free spirited nature. She might be reserved at first, but she’s a fun time once you start get to know her.

Kaylin is yet another sister-in-law to be! She is such a goofball and loves to land a good joke even if she’s her best audience. I’ve loved getting to see her perform in theater shows and dance recitals. She’s got lots of spunk and you’ll never be un-entertained around her.

I’ve known Brayden for so long that the first memory I have is with him. He’s one of the wisest, smiliest, and compassionate men I have ever known. His family has always been a second home to me. He’s as consistent as they come; Brayden is my brother, and I’m proud to have him as my best man.

Slade and I met in Junior year of college at UGA. Slade is an incredibly kind man, who with always help you when he can. A genuine and authentic man, Slade has this incredibly knack for fitting in everywhere he goes. He’s also got some of the best relationship advice, and I’m grateful to have him as such a close friend. OH and this guy will BALL OUT with fun restaurants to try and I love that!

Nate and I met through our, at the time girlfriends, now wife and fiancée, and has been such a blessing. He’s a few years older than me, and he’s basically one step ahead in life in all aspects, which has been so awesome to have a strong man of God be able to give his advice and perspective on life events (like getting engaged/married) basically right before I go through them. Don’t mistake his baby face, he’s older than he looks.

Evan is, quite possibly, the funniest guy I know. He has this way of creating a comforting environment, and will talk to you, and listen to you, about literally anything. We really got close on a group trip to Colorado, and have been good friends ever since. He’s unashamed to be himself as well as completely honest with those around him. He’s the kind of guy you love to have a beer and talk for hours with!

Liam is Katie’s (my sisters) fiancée, and this guy rocks. He’s got knowledge on just about every topic you can think of, and is always down for a good time. No, seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever once seen this guy say no to doing things with us, which I personally appreciate since I love doing things!

Austin is a future brother-in-law, and this guy has energy for days. He will make his presence known when you are least expecting it and boy is it a hoot when he does. I got the opportunity to live with him and his and Emily’s mom over the summer, and it was such a fun opportunity to get to know them better before getting engaged!

Joshua (also a future brother-in-law) and I met at his engagement party, funnily enough. It was his engagement party with his now wife that sparked the conversation between Emily and I that led to us becoming girlfriend and boyfriend, so thank you Joshua and Christina for being the catalyst for that conversation!
