Our Wedding

A Birmingham, AL native born on that SEC rivalry 3rd Saturday in October, the last thing Scotty ever expected was to spend the rest of his life with a girl from Knoxville, TN. In December of 2011, a mutual friend arranged the pair on a blind date for Phi Mu sorority's 'Tacky Christmas' date party at the University of Alabama. Six months of getting to know each other later, Scotty made it official and the rest is history!

About Us

Kelsey and Scotty had both made plans to spend New Year's Eve in New Orleans to support the Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl. Even though the two were staying with different friends on opposite ends of town, they planned to go to dinner to celebrate their fourth NYE together, away from all the Play-Off game excitement. Scotty made reservations at Mr. B's Bistro in the French Quarter, right down the street from the iconic St. Louis Cathedral, where the couple had taken a picture together every trip to New Orleans. After dinner, Scotty suggested they go ahead and get that traditional picture. After much reluctance from Kelsey, anxious to go change into sparkly attire and meet up with everyone else, they made their way to the Church. Knowing Kelsey would want someone to capture their special moment, but not wanting anyone to know his plan (he knew all of her friends would spill!), Scotty was adamant about finding a younger girl (someone who would catch on...) to take the photo. The couple posed for the first photograph, when Scotty asked her to take one more as he turned with the biggest grin on his face to get down on one knee. They were able to share the special moment between just the two of them, with only a few strangers knowing they were now an engaged couple. The next hour of basking in the moment walking around the French Quarter only added to making the moment so special. After first calling all family members to share the news, they then made their way to meet up with all of their friends to surprise them with the news before ringing in the New Year with a little extra sparkle. Scotty had set a goal to propose in 2014 and made it with a few hours to spare for celebration!

Our Story

Details

Although their parents will tell you it wasn't love at first sight... Courtney is the sister of the bride. They've come a long way from fighting over American Girl dolls to now cheering on each other's teams at rival SEC colleges.

Courtney White

Micah and the Groom have been best friends for years. From celebrating Tide touchdowns as kids through Micah's decision to attend Auburn.... Micah has continued to earn the Best Man title even through several tense Iron Bowls (particularly in 2013...).

Micah Dodd

Kayla is technically a cousin of the bride, but in reality more of a sister. The two are only 4 months apart, experiencing everything together (be sure to ask her about the greatest hits of their elementary school girl band, K2K....)

Kayla Collins

Andrew and the Groom were members of Jasons Men's Honor's Society and he knows the Bride through the UA ambassador program, so he's seen the couple through since beginning.  You will find him coaxing Scotty to join the band at the reception.

Andrew Mills

Lindsey and the bride were roommates at UA, where they took on engineering degrees together. Lindsey is sure to have the most dirt on all of the bridesmaids and also bring her own cheese tray to the reception.

Lindsey Cobb

While also known as the Groom's "Best Good Friend".  From playing football together growing up to leading Scotty to join ATO fraternity,  Andy and the Groom like to think their friendship rivals that of Forrest Gump and Bubba.

Andy Buck

Kayla and the bride were sorority sisters, roommates, and also bravely took on engineering together. She is most likely to ensure that "late-night" snacks are provided before dancing herself to sleep at the reception.

Kayla Haynes

Chad is the big brother of the Bride and has finally come around to the idea of his little sister marrying an Alabama boy.  Chad's change of heart has been majorly in part to both of their joy to finally have a brother after growing up with two wonderful younger sisters.

Chad Gibson

Connor and the Groom were ATO fraternity brothers at UA and their friendship goes back to glory days at Oak Mountain High School in Birmingham.  The two became masters at using the ATO house ammenaties to solve all of college's budgeting problems.

Connor Wise

Katelyn and the bride were sorority sisters and members of the UA ambassador program. You'll find her at the reception either rapping a toast to the happy couple or teaching the guests every dance move to her favorite jams.

Katelyn Katsafanas

John Michael and the Groom were ATO fraternity brothers.  John Michael is the groomsman that is most likely to either challenge someone to a wrestling match or change into jeans and boots at the reception...  well until Kelsey notices and tells him to change.

John Michael Ikard

Despite hating all things Alabama, Megan and the bride have continued to be best friends since high school. Megan is most likely to bring her baton to the reception and request the band learn Rocky Top.

Megan Kindle

Josh and the Groom were ATO fraternity brothers at UA and their friendship days date all the way back to youth football.  Their motto was "gettin' a mean on" and (if you cannot tell from this corresponding photo...) it has been the same since.

Josh Fields

Katie and the bride were members of the UA ambassador program and now are roommates in the MBA program. Katie and Kelsey bonded over many date parties, road trips, and a love for dressing up like Cindy-Lou-Who.

Katie Lamberth

Even though she's never been fond of cheerleaders, Cassie &amp; the bride were sorority sisters &amp; roommates at UA. Cassie agreed to be a bridesmaid as long as Kelsey didn't put her in pink or force her to do another thigh stand stunt... 

Cassie Lamprinakos

Justin is the cousin of the Groom and could definitely be described as the brother he never had growing up.  With only one year in age separating the two, they have been partners in crime since the beginning. 

Justin Gillespie

Although looking as grown up as the rest, Alyssa is a Junior Bridesmaid. She is the youngest sister of the groom and sure to have nothing but great things to say about her big brother, and of course on her big sister too...

Alyssa Lukich

Marlan and the Groom were both ATO fraternity brothers and also members of Jasons Men's Honor Society at UA. Marlan is the groomsman most likely to adopt a progressively more prominant spanish heritage throughout the evening...

Marlan Golden

Michael and the Groom were ATO fraternity brothers and also played football together back in high school.  Michael is likely to be found trying to convince everyone at the reception that he is 20 years older than he is and that there is nothing greater than the Atlanta Metro Area.

Michael Connell

Amanda is the sister of the groom, stuck in the middle of the Lukich trio. She &amp; the bride have bonded over the past couple of years together at UA. If you want a little dirt on both the bride &amp; groom, Amanda may have a story or two...

Amanda Lukich

Elizabeth &amp; the bride have been friends since middle school. Through years of cheerleading, formals, &amp; road trips, don't be surprised if these two break into an old routine at the reception (particularly Missy Elliot's masterpiece: 1-2 step)...

Elizabeth Sharp

Nolan and the Groom were both ATO fraternity brothers and also go back to the good ole days at Oak Mountain High School playing football together.  Be sure to keep a close eye if you see this groomsman wondering around, as rumor on the street is that he's very prone to injury...

Nolan Lyda

Paul and the Groom are ATO fraternity brothers at UA.  Paul is most likely to be found participating in all of the weekend's festivities along side fellow groomsman Trent Willis,  who could easily be mistaken for his 'Plus One'.

Paul Cross

Katlyn &amp; the bride were also members of the UA ambassador program &amp; spent a couple of summers as roommates. They bonded through a mutual love for Eric Church, McAlisters, &amp; ATO fraternity boys from Oak Mountain.

Katlyn Stricklend

Sarah Elizabeth &amp; the bride were sorority sisters &amp; roommates at UA. The two truly knew the friendship was real when they broke out into a motion drill at a party &amp; listened to Taylor Swift for an entire road trip. 

Sarah Elizabeth Tooker

Trent and the Groom are ATO fraternity brothers at Alabama.  Trent is most likely to be found participating in all of the weekend's festivities along side fellow groomsman Paul Cross,  who could easily be mistaken for his 'Plus One'.

Trent Willis

Dayne is the son of one of the oldest and dearest friends of the bride's family! He loves sippy cups, m&amp;ms, and balls and will without a doubt be the first one to bust a move out on the dance floor!

Dayne Dockins

Ashley is the oldest &amp; dearest best friend of the bride, all the way back to Kindergarten. From community park cheerleading through several awkward middle &amp; high school phases, she has certainly seen Kelsey through it all. 

Ashley Wheeler

These adorable sisters are cousins of the bride.
