Our Wedding

These two were crossing paths long before their first date, with proof of them in the same selfie taken by a friend the summer of 2021 at a gala. The initial flame didn't ignite until officially meeting at The Olmsted in February of 2022 at ANOTHER gala. Although Miranda caught his eye at the gala and they closed the dance floor with friends, it took several months of cat and mouse, and Miranda deciding to stay in Louisville instead of moving out of state, until someone made the first move... in November of 2022, Miranda finally made the first move and asked Charlie on a date. Since then, they have visited National Parks, traveled abroad, and most recently took on one of the most intense of trips to one of Miranda’s favorite places – Disney World! After secretly planning a proposal in front of Cinderella Castle, one day while watching a Disney World commercial, Miranda at random said that she would NOT like her engagement to be in front of Cinderella Castle. The pressure was now on for this guy who hadn’t been to Disney in 20 years! He strategically asked Miranda lots of questions about the trip and planned a proposal at The Contemporary Resort before their dinner at California Grill. Before proposing, they were called "Mr. and Mrs. Todd" at the bar, and Miranda wondered why since she didn't have a ring yet. Charlie misdirected her by saying that he would have to save up money before buying a ring but proceeded to propose very soon after! They celebrated with champagne and watching the Happily Ever After firework show from the top of The Contemporary, and cannot wait to celebrate their wedding with family and friends!

The Story of Us

In order of appearance :)

I'm Sydney, and I've known Miranda all my life, since we're sisters! I'm a singer/songwriter trying to build a platform, but I also teach singing and sew plushies for Etsy! Going to a Taylor Swift concert is my favorite memory with her, especially during Bad Blood where we made sure to get in the extra "she wasn't doing anything" lyrics!

Hi, I’m Carol! I’m lucky enough to have known Miranda for more than half of our lives, meeting in 6th grade band!!   One of my favorite memories of mine and Miranda’s friendship is that we had completely different college experiences at UK - Miranda in Kappa and social work, and me in band/athletics and business. But we would schedule Fazoli’s nights where we would stay until they closed, catching up on each other’s lives and helping each other navigate school, relationships, life... we’ve even lived across the country in Seattle and Orlando and always remained so close.. and I know we always will! 🫶🏻

Carol

My name is Kelly Miller and I live in Bloomington, IN with my husband- Austin, son- Walker, and dog- Copper. I am a Speech- Language Pathologist at a high school and attended the University of Kentucky. In my free time I enjoy playing outside and reading books with my son, traveling, and shopping. Miranda and I met in the Fall 2012 when we pledged our sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma. We have shared so many wonderful memories and experiences over the years as sisters and roomies. It’s really difficult for me to choose a single favorite memory with Miranda because so much of my college years were spent with her. Miranda and I shared together in sorority rituals, roommates, dance blue marathons, late night study sessions, Starbucks runs, Keeneland visits, tailgating, basketball games, babysitting, shot books, formals, spring break trips, Greek sing, and now weddings. Miranda has always been a true, reliable friend due to her bubbly personality, zest for life, and honesty. It is an absolute honor to stand by Miranda on her wedding day.

I met Miranda at the University of Kentucky in 2014 when she became my “grand-big” in our sorority, and she’s been one of my best friends ever since! From hours-long life talks on the phone, to girls trips to the Bahamas, Disney World, Mexico, and (of course!) Taylor Swift concerts, she’s the friend that can be both a shoulder to cry on and the one to celebrate life dancing her heart out at silent discos. We’ve ran a half marathon together, tried out paddleboard yoga in the Caribbean Sea, and driven through the peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park! I’m so honored to stand by her side as she marries Charlie and starts the next chapter of their life!

Julie

Miranda and I met where most people probably know us from, the dance floor or doing something “for the kids!” We officially met in college and continued to grow as friends through working together, summers volunteering together and ultimately when she decided to accidentally move to Louisville - the happiest accident ever. At the only place worthy of big life decisions, Gustavo’s, we planned my first trip out of the country together to celebrate her birthday in Greece, and then mine in Ireland the next year. There have been many passport stamps, tequila shots, dance floors, red wine on the couch, and Joe’s nights since. We’ve traveled the world and back together, but my proudest moment has to be what brings us here - introducing the bride and groom in person, more than once and on more than one dance floor. Full circle people - see you on the dance floor! ;)

I’m Grace and I’m from Louisville, KY but now live in Nashville, TN. I met Miranda through Kappa at UK where she was my GG Big 💕 We share a love of Disney and sweet treats! I have a dog, Graham, who is more like a human and loves to join any outing he can!

Grace

I’m Miranda's great great grand little! I loved when I first met her and it was before I knew I wanted to be a future social worker and she was in the program. It inspired me later on to become one!! Of course being at Disney was one of my favorite memories, especially shopping because even though I don’t like shopping she made me feel seen and wanted to help me with the hiccups of the trip! So, we found the perfect marvel shirt for me. I loved seeing the second Mamma Mia with her because it solidified that we’d be life long friends and not just sorority sisters.

Dylan

Hi there! I’m Lindsay Todd, Charlie’s sister and Miranda’s soon-to-be sister-in-law. I’m beyond excited to be standing by Miranda’s side as a bridesmaid. Watching Charlie and Miranda’s relationship grow has been such a joy, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to officially welcome her into our family. From the very beginning, I knew she was something special—someone who brings out the best in my brother and makes him truly happy.  I’ll never forget the first time I met Miranda—it was my 25th birthday, and Charlie was running late but promised he was bringing this girl he was seeing, Miranda. When he finally arrived, I couldn’t help myself and blurted out, “Where’s the girl?” Much to my embarrassment, there she was, standing right behind him—Miranda! I knew then that if she could laugh at that awkwardness, we were going to get along.  When I’m not spending time with these two lovebirds, I enjoy hanging out with my amazing boyfriend and our two adorable pups at the local dog park bar, hiking, and going to music festivals. I’m so excited to have gained such an incredible sister in Miranda. She truly is one of a kind, and I can’t wait to create more memories with her and the entire family!

Groomsmen

I've known Charlie since we met for the first time at a youth leadership camp with boy scouts when we were 15. He was the big goof with curly hair, couldn't miss him. Fast forward a bit, I’ve started college, and he is in his summer before college, were both working at the same summer camp along with my older brother. After he came back from Minnesota, we moved in together. A couple years go by and I decide to move out and find my own place. We still keep up with each other after I move out, then he tells me he's planning to propose at Disney and asks me to be his best man.

Daniel

I met Charlie while working in the Boundary Waters, building trails through the thick brush and rugged terrain. We bonded over long days of hard work, cold mornings, and the shared satisfaction of making a lasting impact on the wilderness and our volunteers. Since working together, we have remained close friends and frequently travel to get together over a glass of bourbon or an ice cold Hamms. For my wedding Charlie served as best man. Charlie is the best friend someone could ask for he shows up whenever you need him most. The trails we carved together and lives changed started a friendship that’s only deepened with time.

Calvin

Charlie and I met the summer before his freshman year at UofL, we both were working at Camp Crooked Creek boy scout camp. He was working on Dan Boone hill while I got to pick up trash and fix stuff.  Soon after summer was over and he started attending UofL we (Donnie, Daniel and I) convinced him to rush our fraternity. After joining and since my house was close to campus Charlie and I became close friends. Shortly after he started hanging around Charlie became my little which for those that don’t know, that basically means we became closer friends with similar goals. That was 10 years ago.

I first met Charlie when he was a young Scout on camp staff. After a few years, one summer I heard him singing in the camp staff shower house and immediately thought, "Well, this guy clearly needs to sing for our fraternity. Credentials or not, he's in." Shower auditions: undefeated. From there, joined the fraternity, and a long/legendary family. Each year at summer camp I relied on you and Daniel for your talents, dedication, and constant ability to just keep saying yes to everything I said regardless of what it was, even saying yes when I needed to find someone to take over the lease on the Sheridan house. I of course never just showed up out of the blue to eat your food or sleep on the couch. From random trips, summer camps, fraternity shenanigans, baseball games downtown, brewery tours, apartment crashing and beyond it’s been a journey and one that I have been proud to be on with you and play a small role in.

Donnie

I met Charlie during our MBA program, where we bonded over group projects, inappropriate jokes, and a shared ability to make sarcasm an art form. A highlight was convincing strangers in Italy we were brothers just because we wore the same shirt—despite clearly looking like we were cast from two completely different movies.
Charlie is a master debater (interpret that however you want), and arguing with him is one of my favorite pastimes—mostly because he’s so confidently wrong, it’s honestly impressive.

Alex

I first met Charlie in 2019 during our MBA program at the University of Louisville. Even though Charlie had a gravitational pull that put him at the center of every group chat, study group, and social plan, our real friendship took off after graduation. During a transitional period in 2021, he generously offered me a spare room. While there, I introduced him to a woman I was dating; he played matchmaker from the sidelines—and now she’s my wife. Since his engagement to Miranda, we’ve grown even closer through double dates, game nights, and couples trips. He’s serious, sharp, and perpetually double-booked—I’m proud to stand by him.

Malcolm

A tale of two boys turned men. Though our love now is strong, it was not always this way. The strongest bonds are often forged in the fires of competition. One masters the art of the spin while the other strikes with power. Both engaged in a battle of wills (tennis). Through the blood and sweat emerges a seed of mutual respect that blossoms into man love. This is the story of Griffin and Charlie.

Griffin

I've known Charlie Todd since 2018. Charlie and I met during Scouting events and ended up become friends through mutual aquantinaces. Charlie and I are also follow masonic brothers and have shared lots of great times together.
