Cassie Parker - Maid of Honor
Cassie and I met back when I was rocking a boombox fanny pack (yes, really - it was called The Jambag), and somehow she still decided to be my friend. Since then, we’ve shared more laughs, adventures, and late-night talks than I could ever count. Cassie is the kind of friend who shows up with both humor and heart - whether it’s for shenanigans, support, or just being real when I need it most. She has this ability to help keep me sane and make life way more fun! I feel incredibly lucky to have her by my side, not just on this big day, but always.
Michael Daugherty - Best Man
Mikey and I met a little over 10 years ago while working in the foreclosure business, and we've worked together ever since. There's no one else on this planet like Mikey, and I have had no better friend. No one challenges me, pushes me, and cares for me like Mikey does. When my phone rings and I see his name, I have no idea if I'm about to laugh until I cry at some ridiculous story, or if he's calling to explain some deep concept or revelation he has had. I look forward to both. He is a true "3 am" friend, and I'm extremely grateful for him and genuinely proud that he is my best man.
Michael Sinclair - Bridesman
I've known Michael my whole life. He is the best big brother a girl could ask for. He has always been one of my greatest constants - steady, loyal, and endlessly supportive. He has this rare mix of calm strength and quick wit that makes every moment with him better - whether we’re cracking up over something ridiculous (like one of our many silly-faced photos) or having a deep, life talk. He’s not just my brother; he’s one of my best friends, and it means everything to have him by my side!
Jason Ratliff - Groomsman
Jason and I met 17+ years ago at church, but it took a few years for us to get the opportunity to really hang out. We've been side by side ever since, whether it was the garage bible studies or traveling the world. Even when he's not ambushing me from the bushes in his yard, Ratty is the epitome of "a good time, all the time", but he's also been a "good friend all the time" to me. We have been on some adventures, and I'm glad he's helping me kick off this great adventure, too!
Becky Galbreth - Bridesmaid
Becky officially became part of our family when she started dating my brother (and now she’s his wife - YAY!). Over the years, we’ve gone from family gatherings to real friendship, sharing lots of laughs and plenty of our own family shenanigans along the way. Becky is not only a sister-in-law, but truly a sister and a friend — thoughtful and fun! I feel so lucky to have gained her in my life, and it means the world to me to have her standing beside me on such a special day.
Sean Rooney - Groomsman
Rooney and I have known each other for ten years. He is my longest-standing business partner and one of my best friends. He is a gentleman's gentleman, and a wise and patient friend. At work, people call us the "Dads", but to me, Rooney has become like a big brother. He looks out for me, cares for me, and he believes in me. We have built something pretty amazing together, and it means a lot that he's standing there beside Melissa and me as we build our lives together.
Emily Berry - Bridesmaid
Emily and I first met when she was searching for her very first home. What started as a client relationship quickly turned into a friendship that’s grown stronger over the years. We’ve shared plenty of adventures, laughs, and sassy, vent-sessions along the way. Emily has this incredible gift of always knowing how to bring out the laughter, but she’s also the kind of friend who shows up with her whole heart when it matters most. She’s been such a constant in my life, and I can’t imagine celebrating without her by my side.
Nathan Bullock - Groomsman
Bullock is one of the best men I know. Rock solid character, a deep humility, and a drive that challenges and impresses everyone around him. He's thoughtful and wise, and one of my favorite people to just sit back and kick around ideas on why the world is the way it is. Nathan is one of those men whose friendship really makes you believe in yourself a little more. I cherish his friendship and am so happy to have him standing up there with us on our big day!
Misty Prewitt - Bridesmaid
Misty first came into my life several years ago when she showed up to take headshots for our company which was the start of an easy and lasting friendship. Misty has this incredible gift of showing up with a camera and somehow capturing not just your best angles, but your best self. Beyond that, she’s thoughtful, fun, and always the first to cheer you on. I’m so thankful our paths crossed, and even more grateful to have her standing with me on such an important day!
Hunter Hanger - Groomsman
Hunter is the king of the hot-takes. We met eight years ago or so, and proceeded to spend the next hour and a half arguing with each other about the meaning and purpose of work (we still don't agree but then tell each other that we're saying the same thing, differently). Immediately upon meeting Hunter, I knew he was someone I wanted to "do life" with, and his friendship, counsel, and boyish excitement for adventure - be it surfing or in business - has made my life so much fuller. I'm so proud he's standing with us on our big day - we just may not give him the mic!
Jason Bare - Officiant
AKA: Jalissa.
When it came time to choose someone to officiate our wedding, the decision was easy. Jason isn’t just a dear friend — he is someone who knows us, supports us, and has witnessed our journey from the start.
We have both shared so many memories together with Jason. Having him standing with us, guiding the ceremony, makes our day even more meaningful. We honestly can’t imagine saying “I do” without him!
