Claire is my older sister and has been the best role model all my life! She is encouraging, wise, and responsible. She is so organized and has been the biggest help with wedding planning! Her husband, Andrew, recently got a job with Universal so they just moved to Orlando. Claire is working remotely with the same marketing company, Intermark, that she has been with since graduating. The only downside is that she went to Auburn ;)
Sally Gamble - Maid of Honor
Sally is my little sister and has always brought the fun and entertainment to our family. She is sassy and sweet in all the best ways. Sally gets married just 7 weeks after Nolan and I so it has been super fun to walk through the season of engagement and wedding planning together (sorry mom and dad)! Sally will graduate from Alabama with her nursing degree in the spring!
Abby Ayers - Bridesmaid
Abby and I met very early in college through our freshman year small group. We grew closer and closer and ended up being roommates for our junior and senior year.

She is married to Chuck and they have been such sweet friends to both Nolan and I.
Sara Coshatt - Bridesmaid
Sara is who I literally call my "sunshine friend". She is also from Trussville so I have known her forever but we got a lot closer once we both went to Alabama. She is full of wisdom and grace and always points me back to the Lord. She is encouraging and has the biggest heart. Sara teaches 2nd grade at Paine, where we both grew up in school! Sara marries Jared, who I also grew up with, two weeks before me! It has been sweet walking through engagement together and I am so excited to celebrate their marriage in May!
Katherine Daugherty - Bridesmaid
Katherine was one of my freshman year roommates and we quickly became best friends! She is sassy, genuine, and kind. We got to lean on each other through nursing school and starting our first nursing jobs. Katherine works in the trauma burn ICU at UAB and is currently in school for her Doctorate Family Nurse Practitioner. She is married to Martin who has always been a great friend to me as well and quickly formed a friendship with Nolan. We are so thankful for the Daugherty's and know they will always be there for us!
Hannah Foust - Bridesmaid
Hannah has been one of my best friends for years now. From awkward middle school days, high school hangouts, college roommates, and figuring out adulting world, Hannah has been there for it all. She is hilarious in her own way and the most gentle, loving person. It has been so special to have such a consistent friend through all life stages. Hannah teaches 5th grade at Paine, where we both grew up in school! She is married to Will who is the life of the party. I am so thankful for their friendships!
Marlee Kennedy - Bridesmaid
If you knew me at all growing up, you also knew Marlee. There were few days we were apart all the way from elementary school through high school. We then were freshman year roommates at Alabama too! She is funny, intentional, and supportive. Marlee is married to Evan and she works at a Urology clinic in Homewood. She has truly been my friend forever and I know that will never change!

Cassidy Porter - Bridesmaid
Cassidy was one of my freshman year roommates and we lived together freshman and sophomore year then again the past three years post-grad. I will miss being her roommate so much- I'm a little bit in denial! She is truly the most selfless, caring, and supportive friend. Being not only a friend but my roommate, she has spent more time with Nolan than probably anybody else and I am grateful for the way she has been such a good friend to Nolan as well. Cassidy is in physical therapy school at UAB!
Haley Thigpen - Bridesmaid
I met Haley at the very beginning of my freshman year! She was a sophomore at the time leading my Bible study and we grew close quickly.

Haley will be graduating medical school at UAB this spring.
Griffin Ricketson - Best Man
Griffin is my one and only brother who is a year and a half older than I am. He has been there for every step of the way in my life whether it be sports, school, or anything else. There is a special bond that exists between brothers. I wouldn't rather have anyone else stand by my side as a best man. Griffin works for Waste Management as an engineer in Demopolis, Alabama. Watch out for him on the dance floor!
Naden Kreitz - Groomsman
Naden has been one of my closest friends since the beginning of college. With having the same health career goal in mind, we took a lot of the same classes together and became really close.

If you don't know him before the wedding, you will know him before it's over because he has never met a stranger.
Martin Daugherty - Groomsman
Over the past two years I have gotten to know Martin really well. Martin is a Fireman and Paramedic here in Birmingham.

Some wise words I was told when selecting groomsmen was to choose the people that will make investments into your marriage, and I believe Martin will definitely do that for Lucy and I.

You may catch him on the dance floor if they play "Friends in Low Places."

Reed Thomas - Groomsman
Reed has been the best roommate to me over the past two years. He will be a hard roommate to leave. We have similar temperaments and have had the chance to walk through this season of dental school together. Reed and I were able to serve together on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic a little over a year ago. It will be tough to leave him as a roommate, but we are both looking forward to our future marriages.
