Taylor Whitmire - Matron of Honor
Taylor has been a dear friend to me since I started working at Jethro's Coffee. She's so kind, patient, and gentle to friends and strangers alike. There's nothing I wouldn't trust her with!
We've been on long road trips, spontaneous thrift trips, and dozens of closing shifts together! I am so glad she will be standing with us on the big day! - McKenna
Chaney Koons - Bridesmaid
Chaney is my younger sister, but sometimes I feel like she does all the protecting! She is strong, funny, and sharp-witted ( I recommend asking her what she knows about sharks and snakes, you'll definitely learn something new). She has been one of my very best friends for my whole life (just like our mom said she would be)! The day she was born was one of the best days of my life, and now she'll be celebrating another "best day" right next to me! - McKenna
Maren Cooper - Bridesmaid
Maren started as my coworker and has ended up becoming part of my family as an older sister. She has lived with me and my family for almost 3 years now, and the memories we have made are invaluable! She travels a lot, but I hope she always know she has a special place in our family!
- McKenna
Erin McAvoy - Bridesmaid
Erin and I have been friends for almost three years! She has been my favorite friend to nerd out with (as a fellow woman in STEM), and I know I can tell her anything and be met with love. She has been a great example of what a Godly woman should be, and I owe her a lot for the love and guidance she has shown me! - McKenna
Lauren Hall - Bridesmaid
Lauren and I are 2nd gen friends! My family and her family have been friends since high school, and now we get to carry on the tradition! She is a passionate, hard-working, and bright woman, and I admire her so much. I've had the honor of cheering at her soccer games and co-counseling a summer camp with her in Spain! Its not every day you have a friend who is loved internationally! - McKenna
Faith Schofield - Bridesmaid
Faith and I have been good friends since high school! We have seen each other grow up, through embarrassing teenage crushes and daunting college applications. Now we are graduating college and she's exploring the world (ask her about her amazing trip to Europe!), and I know I'll always be able to call her up for a breakfast date and we'll pick up right where we left off! Faith is courageous and so bright, and it is such a precious gift that I get to celebrate this day with her as one of my bridesmaids!- McKenna
Caleb Merritt - Best Man
Caleb has been the best friend I could’ve asked for since I moved to Dahlonega. We met at Jethros coffee shop and I couldn’t remember his name for several weeks and became roommates shortly after. It’s a friendship that really doesn’t make sense, but since then we’ve been through thick and thin and I’m proud to call him my best man.
Justus Whitmire - Groomsman
Justus is one of my best friends. We may not hangout all the time, but when we do it's always a really fun time. He is super smart and really good at strategy games (I have lost to him numerous times as a result). He is also responsible for helping me become addicted to disc golf and marvel SNAP. I am truly thankful to be able to know and have such good friendship with him.

Nicholas Priez - Groomsman
Nicholas is my little brother. We have spent most of our lives together and watched each other grow through the various phases of life (both the good and the bad). Despite an almost 10-year age gap, we have been best friends since Nick was born, and I love him like no other.
-Lawrence
Joel Whitmire - Groomsman
Joel has been one of the coolest friends I have ever had. Despite his old age, he has always been one the kindest and humbling friends and he has shown me what it's like to be a good friend. His love for the Lord and his humility cheers me up every time I see him.
-Lawrence
Camden Clark - Groomsman
Cam is one the most photogenic people I know and certainly the most knowledgeable person I know when it comes to the history on World War II. Our friendship started in Jethro's as with most of my friendships, but I quickly found that he was super easy to talk to and quickly became friends. He helped start my addiction to disc golf and Marvel SNAP, and he has been a really awesome person to call my friend.
-Lawrence
Mitch Harper - Groomsman
Mitch is one of the coolest paramedics I know. He is super smart and knowledgeable in the medical field and is aiming to become a doctor (which is pretty cool!!). We originally met in college and later reconnected when I started working in the ER. Since then, we have been on a bunch of hikes and become best friends and I am very thankful to know him!
-Lawrence
Gabe Jolly - Flower Man
Gabe is such a cheerful guy, and he always sees the good in people. Being around Gabe is a gift! We are so happy we could have such a wonderful person setting the isle full of joy! - McKenna & Lawrence
Nate Hudson - Flower Man
Nate and I met through our church and leadership class. With the both of us being shy, our friendship took a minute to develop, but now Nate and I are best friends. I introduced him to disc golf and his now fiancé (one is clearly better than the other) and play plenty of disc golf and go on double dates together. I am really thankful for him and the time that we get to spend together.
-Lawrence
Josiah Patterson - Ring Bearer
Josiah is one of our favorite kiddos in the whole world! He's so smart and fun, we can't imagine a better ringbearer! -McKenna & Lawrence
