I'm Kylie, the maid of honor! Kimberly and I met during our master's program at Clemson. We had Kentucky in common and ended up in the same assistantship role, and we've been in love ever since! (Sorry, Eric) Kimberly is just the most genuine and kind soul, and I know every time we get together it's going to be filled with laughs and staying up well into the morning. I met Eric when he came to visit her in Clemson, and I have been in awe of the love and understanding they continue to give each other. Their support for each other has been beautiful to witness, and I cannot wait to support them on their big day!

I'm Kyle, Eric's childhood neighbor, lifelong friend, and Best Man. I'm very passionate about obscure geography facts, spicy foods, and securing computer networks. I met Eric as an adventurous kid looking for a friend to conquer the woods with and beat the hard video game boss fights. I met Kimberly as an adventurous college kid looking for a friend to conquer game day and beat the pressure of exam week. Introducing Kimberly and Eric to one another is one of my life's biggest accomplishments. I look forward to meeting everyone on the big day!

Hello! I’m Jessica, aka ‘Nut’, most of you probably know me as Kim’s little sister. Kimberly and I bickered a lot when we were younger, much like any other siblings that are close in age, but she truly became my best friend shortly after she left for college. There’s a running joke that I spent more time in Lex with her friends than I did at Iowa State, and for good reason too because some of my favorite memories with Kimberly are from those visits to UK. Fast forward 7 or so years and here we are with most of the gang back together, getting ready to celebrate Kimberly & Eric. I couldn’t be more happy for Kimberly that she has found her person and I’m so excited to officially welcome Eric into our family.

I met Kimberly at the University of Kentucky where we were sorority sisters in Phi Mu. A few years later, we both ended up in PhD programs at Michigan State where we reconnected and instantly bonded over the stress of graduate school, missing Kentucky, and Taylor Swift. Over the last few years of study and sushi dates, we’ve become the best of friends! As I’ve gotten to know Kimberly and Eric as a couple, I've seen how supportive they are of one another and how much fun they have together. I can’t wait to celebrate them on their big day!

I first met Kimberly sophomore year when Kendall brought her to my apartment to watch a UK Basketball game. Mine and Kimberly’s friendship blossomed our junior year to become extremely close friends, spending a lot of time together through our tight knit friend group through graduation. I had the pleasure of first talking to Eric through my roommate Kyle via video games in college. After Kimberly and Eric started dating, there were plenty of trips and FaceTime calls with all of us chatting and having a good time. I’m extremely honored to be a part of their special day!

I’m Kendall, I’m a clothing stylist from Texas and a University of Kentucky alumna. I met Kimberly at a sorority event at the Phi Mu house in fall 2015 and knew instantly we’d be the best of friends. A few weeks later, she became my Little and our adventures together began! From tailgates, shopping trips, movie nights, vacations, or late nights at Two Keys, we are truly an iconic pair.

Hi, I’m Jake! Eric, Kyle, and I grew up running through the streets of Broadlands, roaming the wild suburbs of NoVA like something out of a Stephen King novel. We were like the Stranger Things kids, only less supernatural and more wanting-to-play-Xbox-in-the-basement. I first met Kimberly at one of the Crisps’ Easter brunches, and I couldn’t be more happy to be able to call her a friend to this day. Together Eric and Kimberly have proven what a true and wonderful relationship looks like to me, and I am honored to be a part of their lives!

Hi I'm Bryce, and I met Eric during our time at LSU through mutual friends and roommates. Most of our stories are too legendary to be written, but ask me at the wedding reception. Eric and I retained our friendship playing video games together most nights. Now, Eric has a gamer best friend, and a best friend for life: Kimberly. I'm very excited to finally hang out with her, knowing already that she's undoubtedly the love of his life.

Written by Eric: Emily is my older sister. I find my courage to stand up for what I believe in from watching Emily do just that.

Hi I’m Shantanu! I first met Eric through his cousin David when we were in elementary school and would hang out occasionally over the years. We started hanging out regularly in the summer of 2014 when our friend group would play pickup basketball a couple times a week and have stayed in close contact ever since. We still like to play pickup and I enjoy beating Eric’s team in one of the 3 fantasy football leagues I am in with him.
