Our Wedding

We met the modern way — on Hinge! Tony was the first to like me, and it didn’t take long for him to catch my attention. What stood out right away was how deeply family-oriented he was — something that mattered a lot to me. Tony says he noticed right away that I was adventurous and fun, and it didn’t take long for us to start making memories together. Most of our dates include something active: hiking new trails, riding bikes, and always finding the best burger spots. (We’re a little outdoorsy, a little foodie, and a lot of fun.) From the very beginning, Tony has been intentional in pursuing me. Through every season, he continues to point me toward Jesus, challenging me to grow, love deeper, and live with purpose. His pursuit has been steady and kind. Tony and I met in a way that felt natural and easy, but building a life together has been a fun and meaningful journey of learning how our differences make us stronger. I’m definitely the social one. I love making plans, being around people, and keeping things organized. Tony, on the other hand, is more introverted and perfectly content being a homebody. I’m a planner; he’s a “go with the flow” kind of guy. I tend to be the frugal one, and he’s more likely to treat himself without hesitation. But through it all, we’ve found such a beautiful balance. We challenge each other, support each other, and laugh a lot along the way. Loving Tony has shown me that being different doesn’t mean being apart—it provides balance and encourages us to grow together in the best ways. Now we’re stepping into the next chapter of our story and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate with the people who have supported and loved us along the way.

Day Of

Meredith is my best friend. There is no one I’d rather laugh with, cry with, or make fun of. She’s confident in who she is and her passion and love for Jesus is unmatched. Her compassion and care for the forgotten and left behind has inspired us to follow her lead. Meredith is seriously amazing! 

Meredith Bratton

Madison is the big sister everyone wants, but I am lucky enough to call her mine. I’ve always looked up to Mads. Her corner kicks, her grades, her adventurous travels. Madison has been my tutor, my travel buddy, my teammate, and my role model. 

Madison Maxwell

Hannah is the most hospitable person I know. She makes everyone feel so seen and heard. She shows me that the simplest moments in life outweigh all the big ones. Her gardening skills have inspired us to start our own. 

Hannah Cowman

Jane's my oldest sibling and the one I always looked up to. I followed her to college and she brought me into her world with grace and open arms. She has a huge heart for serving communities, and that shines through in all the family-oriented experiences we get to share.

Jane Valliant

Sally inspires me by the way she enters any room and makes people feel seen and cared for. She has the ability to adapt and to meet people where they are. Watching her do that has challenged me to be more thoughtful and intentional.

Sally Romano

My solid rock. Frank has been a role model and guide for me from the start. He's shown me how to carry myself, how to compete, and how to live with strength and integrity in my own skin. As my best man, there's no one else I'd rather have by my side. He has a gift for seeing both sides of a situation and a grounded wisdom that keeps me steady.

Frank Romano

I basically lived with John since I was a teenager and I made it my daily responsibility to annoy him. Underneath our banter was John's protector mindset - always looking out for me. John is also the type that lightens the room with laughter and carries around one of the best attitudes in every situation.

John Valliant

As fellow sevens on the enneagram, Matt and I love a good adventure. From sugar shacks in Canada to Blues games and morning runs, Matt has always been the most intentional big brother. His silly games and dance moves remind me not to take life so seriously. 

Matt Cowman

I knew I liked Jacolby when he stopped in to play tennis with me on his way to vacation without Madison. Jacolby is so fun to be around. He asks good questions and makes everyone feel so welcomed and loved around him.

Jacolby Maxwell

Matt Jeff and I went to college together. Matt was always willing to help show me a new chord, bring a laugh, and give advice. Matt is authentically himself. He has brought so much joy and laughter to our family.

We took a day trip to Chattanooga within the first two months of dating. We discovered our love for new adventures and experiences together as we biked from Downtown Chattanooga all the way to the historic district.

Go for a bike ride!

The Cumberland Trail was just a quick drive away, offering a beautiful walk with stunning views overlooking the Tennessee River. Hikes are where we disconnect from reality and learn a great deal about each other through our adventures and explorations.
