Karis and Madison met when they were only 13 and 15. Since then, they have been practically attached at the hip. Their friendship has been one of the few constants throughout the many phases of life they've braved together. Their many adventures over the years have included working together, taking college courses together, going on vacations together, and everything in between. Where one is found, the other is often nearby! Karis has considered Madison her big sister for a long time and is thrilled for her to be their Maid of Honor.

Karis and Ava met through nothing short of fate. They were placed together as random roommates in the fall of 2022. Even though they had never met, the pieces of their lives couldn't have fallen into place any faster. Since then, they have spent every day giggling, goofing off, parenting their cats, and enjoying spending this season of their lives together. Ava has witnessed Karis and Jarred's love story blossom throughout their time together. The couple is overjoyed to have her as a part of their family and as part of their bridal party.

Mallory and Karis met early in their 6th grade year at Crossroads Middle School. The two became fast friends, bonding over sports, memes, hating gym class, and suffering through the awkward phases together. The pair would even FaceTime every single day after school. Mallory has always been one of Karis' biggest cheerleaders, from attending soccer games to showing up to every single sorority event Karis has. Mallory and Karis now enjoy going to the local mexican restaurant, watching TV together, going to every concert they can, and hanging out as often as possible. Karis is overjoyed to have Mallory by her side on her wedding day.

Karis and Jacie met during their time at the University of South Carolina. They were both members of the same service sorority. Within this sorority, the tradition of matching "big sisters" and "little sisters" is upheld. Karis and Jacie bonded so well, they were matched as "big" and "little". They instantly clicked and have supported each other through the highs and lows of college. Jacie is everything that makes a good friend and more. She is a confidant, a sister, someone who can give you tough love when you need it, all while making sure you know how loved you are. Karis could not imagine her big day without her "little sister" by her side!

Nicole and Karis met almost immediately after moving into Columbia Hall at the start of their freshman year at UofSC. Karis posted in a college facebook group looking to make friends, and Nicole was the first and only person to reach out and stick around. Since the fall of 2020, they have enjoyed all the best parts of college together, from football games to tailgates, and always celebrating birthdays together. They have both gotten to watch each other grow up and pursue their dreams, but never grew apart. Nicole has always been there for her during the big moments and Karis is honored to have her by her side for this one!

Kyle and Karis first met about 22 years ago on the day she was born. Kyle is Karis' older brother, and one of her closest friends. Kyle and Jarred met very shortly after Jarred and Karis began dating. They hit it off almost immediately, which was shocking as Kyle had declared a strong distaste for anyone who dared to date his little sister. Since then, the three of them have made many memories together. They have seen Post Malone together 3 times, attended many holiday parties together, and brought all the laughs to every family function. Kyle has helped Jarred learn how to handle Karis' antics, and they have formed a brotherly bond. The couple is extremely grateful to have him stand with them on their big day.

John Fanning is Jarred’s little brother and built in best friend. They’ve gotten into more than their fair share of fun and mischief over the years, always remaining close. They are famous in their family for always bringing big laughs when they are together. They are each other’s partner in crime, and can never go a single day without talking. John and Jarred have always had each other’s backs through whatever life has thrown at them. The couple just couldn’t say “I do” without him standing with them!

Karis met Mark in their 6th grade year at Crossroads Middle School. He was one of the only middle school kids who was consistently kind and a good friend. Unfortunately after that year, Karis and Mark went to different schools. Years later, without knowing it, Karis met Mark's girlfriend, Jacie, and "adopted" her as her little sister in their sorority. Since then, Jarred and Mark have become fast friends, bonding over video games, working out, and enjoying a great night out. All four of them are attached at the hip at every outing and sorority function. Mark is not only a loyal friend, but an amazing example of a partner in a relationship. Both Jarred and Karis couldn't have picked a better person to support them in their marriage and the years ahead.
