Caroline is my sister, best friend, and Maid of Honor. I wish I could say that Caroline and I "dreamed" about our wedding days when we were younger, but truthfully we were too busy playing Barbies, playing outside until dark, or choreographing dance moves to the entire Britney Spears "Ooops... I Did It Again" album. Our parents say that our personalities were distinct from the beginning and have not changed much. I was the more creative, introverted, worry wart child, and Caroline came into the world fearless, ready to take charge, and wanted to do everything herself. Our opposites certainly make us complete each other! Caroline works and lives in my "happy place," Morehead City, NC. I am so excited that "Tareline" will be my Maid of Honor!

Brandi and I have been very best friends since Kindergarten. There is not a time in my life that I don't remember Brandi in it. Our countless sleep overs while growing up included playing Bop-It or Dream Phone, riding four wheelers, swimming for hours, and watching TRL while eating pizza rolls. Brandi felt so "at home" at my family's house, that the first thing she would do is walk straight into the kitchen to get a Little Debbie's Swiss Roll (A Rhodes family staple). We have countless memories from elementary and middle school, high school, college, and "adulthood" that retelling the stories make us laugh until we cry. Brandi and her fiancé, Mike are getting married on May 31, 2019 in Greenville, NC. I am so excited to have Brandi stand by my side on my special day!

Geoff met Graham on his second day of his freshman year at ECU and has been one of his best friends ever since. The two have had many fun memories together over the past 20 years.

Graham is the President of Covington Contracting. Geoff is honored to have Graham as one of his groomsmen.

Geoff met Brendan during Spring semester of his freshman year at ECU. Geoff gave Brendan's then girlfriend a ride back to Maryland and Brendan tagged along. Geoff and Brendan lasted. The girlfriend did not. They have been the best of friends ever since. The two have shared many memories and travels together over past 19 years. Brendan works in medical device sales and lives in Greenville, NC with his wife, Carla, and son Barrett.

Callie Jordan and I met our freshman year at D.H. Conley, and we have been dear friends ever since. Almost every laughable memory I have between high school and college has been with this girl. Some of my most fun memories with Callie include our many girl's trips to Myrtle Beach. Together, I am positive we could win any sushi eating contest. Callie, her husband Zack, and their dog Marlyn live in Greenville, NC. I was honored to be one of Callie's bridesmaids in August 2017, and I can't wait for her to be a part of my special day!

"Danny" has been one of Geoff's best friends since third grade. The two grew up in Easton playing soccer, baseball, and watching Jean-Claude Van Damme movies. Danny graduated from the University of Maryland and is a neurologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Danny is married to Laura and has two children, Marco and Gia.

Lauren and I have been best of friends since first grade. We have had so many special memories together over our past 20+ years of friendship. In second grade we got in trouble because we kept writing Mary Kate & Ashley as our names on our papers. When we were in high school Lauren, Olivia, and I would make our own music videos for rap songs, in particular "Grillz" by Nelly which included us wearing tinfoil on our teeth. We are still praying that Lauren's parents find those lost VHS tapes. Lauren is one person who loves the beach as much I do. Lauren lives in Wake Forest, NC with her husband, Sonny, and her Maltese named Harley. I had the honor of being one of Lauren's bridesmaids in June 2018, where I caught the bouquet and Geoff caught the garter at her reception. I am so excited to have Lauren beside me on my wedding day!

Scott and Geoff have been friends since 7th grade when Geoff was chosen to give Scott a tour of the school after Scott moved to Easton from Michigan. Scott and Geoff went to school together through middle and high school and played soccer together. The two were "professional interns " their senior year of high school. Scott graduated from University of Maryland and is an architect. Scott lives in Roswell, GA with his wife Jessica and his son, Tucker.

Kathryn and I became close friends in Yearbook class in high school. We have so many fun memories together, especially during college. If there were an award for number of bacon cheesy tots eaten from Sup Dogs in college - we would have won by a landslide. I had the honor of being one of Kathryn's bridesmaids in September 2017 in Ocean Isle Beach, and I am excited for her to be a part of my wedding. Kathryn lives in Wake Forest, NC with her husband Kyle, sweet baby Thompson, and dogs Addie & Finley.

Olivia and I met our freshman year at D.H. Conley High School and instantly became close friends. Olivia, Lauren, and I had countless sleepovers, and yes, she was included in the production of our many rap music videos, too. Even though Olivia "went down south to get a higher education" at Ole Miss, we still remained close friends and can always pick up where we left off. Olivia is such a special friend, and I can always count on her to make me laugh! I was honored to be one of Olivia's bridesmaids in January 2017 in Oxford, MS, and I am so excited that she will be a part of my big day. Last year Olivia moved back to NC (Yay!) and lives in Raleigh with her husband George and two pups Lucy and Samson.

John and Geoff are both Redskins fans. John works in real-estate development and lives in Raleigh with his wife Emily and three children, Sophie, Gates, and Lanier.

I have known Claire and her three sisters since 2010 when I was a sophomore/babysitter in college, and she was just a little girl in first grade. Now, Claire is a sophomore in high school and is a talented ballerina and dancer. When Claire was little we would play "school" for hours in her closet. There was no question that "Miss Claire" was always the teacher and her sisters and I were always the (sometimes rambunctious) students. Claire has always kept me up to date on trending fashion, beauty, and music. I can't imagine my wedding day with out Claire and her sisters! I am so lucky to have Claire as one of my Junior Bridesmaids.

Written by Kelsey: No matter how old or tall Will is, he will always be my "little brother." Will and I have very similar personalities and because of our age gap, we have always gotten along. Will is a sophomore at ECU studying Business. He will be embarrassed that I say this, but he is so smart! He had a much higher freshman GPA than his two sisters. We look forward to Will being one of our groomsmen in June. Geoff and Will are both excited to finally have a brother!

I met Amelia when she was a spunky little 4 year old. Amelia is now in 8th grade, and is an awesome volleyball player. Amelia is athletic, smart, and is always a fun time to be around. No one loves Moe's queso dip more than this girl. One thing I love about Amelia is no matter what age she is, she always laughs at all my jokes and thinks I am funny. She is a fierce Uno competitor and has beat me nearly every time. I am so excited to have Amelia as one of my Junior Bridesmaids!

Francie was a sweet little two year old when I first met her. Francie is now in fifth grade and is also a great volleyball player. When Francie was little she would love to play "beauty shop" during our sleepovers and do my hair, nails, and makeup. I can always count on her to do crafts with me for hours. We have always enjoyed drawing, painting, doing puzzles, and watching our favorite HGTV and cooking shows together. She is also a master slime maker. I am so excited to have Francie as one of my special Junior Bridesmaids!

I knew Eloise's 3 sisters two years before she made her grand entrance into the world! Eloise and I have been best of buddies since Day 1. Now, Eloise is a first grader. Last year she won the "Personality" award in her kindergarten class. There is no one who has more of a magical personality than this girl! Some of our favorite things to do together are read our favorite book (that we have memorized), "Snuggle Puppy," swim and build sand castles, eat pink sprinkle donuts, and be silly together. She sure loves her Kelsey! For years she has had the dream of being a "horse trainer" when she grows up. I am thrilled to have Eloise as my special Flower Girl!
