Wedding Party

Daniel Garza
Daniel Garza - Best Man
Daniel and I have been through too many good times to recall. From everything high school could throw at us, to our Auburn-LSU rivilary, to now roommates. Daniel will always be there for you not matter what. If he’s not fly fishing, he’s probably listening to a new musical artist he’s found, but don’t worry you won’t know who it is. He’s the best man money can buy!
Paige Wells
Paige Wells - Maid of Honor
Paige has been my best friend for over a decade. She is the most selfless person I know, and has the biggest heart you'll ever find. She cares not only for me, but finds countless ways to care for others in the deepest way. She challenges me to be the best version of myself, and I truly would not be who I am today without her. She is home to me, and I am forever grateful for the friendship we share.
Elizabeth (Lizzy) Shaw
Elizabeth (Lizzy) Shaw - Maid of Honor
4 years ago, Lizzy entered my life and changed everything. I have had the greatest pleasure of calling her roommate and best friend in a season of life that I know God set apart for us to share together. She is kind, she is hilarious, she is my true soul sister. I have never had more fun than I do traveling and living alongside my Lizzy girl. I can't imagine what life would have been these last few years without her, and I am eternally grateful that I have had her by my side.
Ben Flanagan
Ben Flanagan - Groomsman
My ginger brother! He’s the most genuine and loving person I can think of. Our friendship is forged by the way of classic pep from Fuzzy’s Pizza. When we aren’t talking about Star Wars or Lord of the Rings, he’s giving me strong biblical wisdom. He’s a goofball and mentor that I can always rely on for a laugh and encouragement.
Hannah Bowling
Hannah Bowling - Bridesmaid
Hanny is a forever friend I cherish. Although she lives in lands far, far away now, she is never far from my heart. We spent our high school and college years together, enjoying many of my most favorite memories together, and I wouldn't trade this talented, servant-hearted, fun friend for the world. I am overjoyed that she is able to travel home to celebrate with us, and stand by my side on our big day, as I couldn't imagine it any other way.
Ben Riggle
Ben Riggle - Groomsman
Time and distance can’t separate us. We crawled around the church/school in diapers and now share multitude of passions together which include snow skiing, football and of course building things. I’m still surprised we haven’t injured ourselves building something or skiing. But through our many adventures, he encourages me and always knows the best trick for the job. He’s the Sam to my Frodo.
Scott Terrell
Scott Terrell - Groomsman
Scotty-tee!!! Our friendship is legend, wait-for-it, dary!! I can’t tell you how many times we’ve watched How I Met Your Mother, The Office, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or any Marvel movie. If we weren’t at the movies, we are driving around discussing theories, but most importantly life. We can sing through any problem that life throws our way and then laugh about it later. Life may be messy (like his college room) at times, but he’s my brother.
Katie Bustos
Katie Bustos - Bridesmaid
My KT girl is one-of-a-kind. To know her is to call her friend. She is vivacious, always joyful, and a true delight to be around. She would do anything for anyone, and it's the most endearing quality in a person you could ever find. She is always helpful, always sweet, and always on top of it. If I was ever in a crisis, I would call KT. I am so grateful to call her friend, to have lived a year together, and to feel so known and heard by someone like this girl, a true gem.
Harrison Smith
Harrison Smith - Groomsman
Harrison might be small in stature, but he’s got the biggest heart. College would not have been the same without Harrison. I’m pretty sure there’s not a menu item in Auburn that we haven’t crushed. We have had too many late night Waffle House, ice cream, and Target/Wal-Mart runs together. He will always ask you how you’ve been and how your walk with Jesus is going. He cares and invests in people like no other. He’ll jump in the car and drive all the way from Birmingham aka The Tiny Kingdom to be here and I can’t wait for that.
Amber Gakhar
Amber Gakhar - Bridesmaid
Amby is HILARIOUS. Every single memory I have with this girl is filled with joy and so much laughter. The last 2 years living together have been more fun than I could have ever imagined, and we owe so much of that joy to Amby. She is the perfect mix of salty and sweet, she cares deeply for her friends, and I wouldn't trade her for the world.
Ashley Perry
Ashley Perry - Bridesmaid
Ash and I met working in college. I knew when I met her that our friendship wouldn't end there. She has loved me through so many seasons of life since then, and so many of my fondest memories in college are spent with her. She is kind, smart, and fun in so many ways I admire, and I truly believe her to be the strongest person I know. Her friendship has meant the world to me, I am so grateful to have her by my side!
Clay Terry
Clay Terry - Groomsman
Clay was my first friend at Auburn and what helped make Auburn amazing. Any downtime or game day was spent with Clay. His dry humor always made for a good time. We’d pass the time watching TV, eating, but mostly complaining about school or Auburn football. We may not always get to hang out that often anymore, but when we do it just like old times. I’m excited that I finally get to show him that Texas is not a barren desert.
McKenzie Helbig
McKenzie Helbig - Bridesmaid
Kenz and I go WAY back. From the 4th grade to now, becoming women together has been nothing short of crazy--and I love that she has been there every step of the way. God knew what he was doing so long ago, this soul sister knows my deepest hurts and fears, and has loved me deeper still through all of them. There's just something about old friends that always takes you back, and I love this sweet momma more than anything!
Cooper Weiland
Cooper Weiland - Groomsman
Cooper is the king of nicknames and swatting basketball shots. Any nickname I got during my time at Auburn was probably concocted by him. And anytime we’d play basketball, he’d put the defensive clamps on me. Along with Clay and Harrison, Cooper spear headed any late night snack even if he didn’t eat with us. Cooper and I survived countless civil engineering classes and Auburn Football games. He might be hard to track down at times, but he’s a true friend and willing and able help out in any way.
Maddie Long
Maddie Long - Bridesmaid
Maddie girl is a true gem. She is patient and kind, loving in every way, and has been such a sweet friend to both James and me. Over the last year we have gotten close, and I love looking forward knowing that James and I will continue to share so many fond memories with her and her family as the years go on. She is the cutest mom you'll ever see, and I love every minute I spend with this chick.
Andrew Lopez
Andrew Lopez - Groomsman
Need a quick wit or put a spin on something? Andrew’s your man. He can spin any situation into a good time. He’s reliable and trustworthy and he’ll always have your back. Just don’t let your football team lose to his because he will troll you for a year. Andrew will hit you hard with the facts so make sure you have yours straight. All though he’s a purple and gold tiger, I still love him the same. We do agree on one thing though, we both don’t like Alabama!
Alex Lumpee
Alex Lumpee - Bridesmaid
This girl and I go back over a decade. It all started in our shared love for basketball, and blossomed into a beautiful friendship I cherish daily. Alex is independent, strong, and so much fun. Growing up together brought me joy that cannot be measured. She is the cutest, hippest mom you have ever seen now, and I am so grateful to have her by my side.
William McMichael
William McMichael - Groomsman
William has finally become the lawyer he was destined to become. Some could say he was a little before his time during high school, but now he’s definitely the friend you want on your side. William will midigate all of your risk for you and care for you along the way. He makes sure you’re excelling and wants to equip you with the tools to get there. Not only is he great for legal advice, he’s there for life and spiritual advice as well. It’s been amazing having him back in my life.
Kya Howe
Kya Howe - Bridesmaid
Sweet Kya is married to my little brother, and for that alone she deserves a reward ;) Kya has become so much more than my sister, she has become a dear friend that I truly cherish. I am so thankful that God has placed her permanently in my life (haha you're stuck), and that I forever get to call her my people. She is sweet as can be, thoughtful in every way, and understands me in a way that I believe only a true sister can. Love this girl and that she is a part of our day.
Clark Howe
Clark Howe - Groomsman
Clark is the youngest of Nat’s two brothers and goal in life is to make you laugh. I have cherished getting to know him and his wife, Kya over the past year. Clark is a hard worker and truly wants to invest in everyone he meets. He is known as the life of the party and I look forward to many more parties with him.
Davis Howe
Davis Howe - Groomsman
Davis is the older of Nat’s two brothers. He values family like no other and has a can-do attitude. His values of deep family tradition and history is something I look forward to learning more about. Davis also has a vast knowledge of music and old films.
Laura Rickaway
Laura Rickaway - Bridesmaid
Another bonus sister, how lucky am I?! Laura is beyond fun and beyond talented. I love learning from her, spending time chatting with her, and have felt so loved and cared for by her. I am so grateful for the relationship she shares with James, and that we now share as well. I admire her in so many ways, and am so excited to soon call her SISTER and FAMILY!
Thomas Smith & Nate Long
Thomas Smith & Nate Long - Ushers
Thomas and Nate are two friends that I’ve known a long time, but have grown closer to since meeting Nat. They are the definition of church family and having a community. Including Nate’s wife, Maddie and their son, Wells, we can play and laugh after a long and stressful day. The six of us can take on the world one family steak dinner at a time. These are friends who I call family now, and they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Allison Wright
Allison Wright - House Party
There truly aren't enough words I could say about this girl. She has been there for me when I needed her most, with the kindest heart and truest soul this world has to offer. She is a warrior for others, shares my sometimes unbearably empathetic heart, and cares for people in the purest of ways. I am grateful to call her friend, and I couldn't imagine our big day without her being a part of it!
Wellington Long
Wellington Long - Ring Bearer
Little Wellies! The son of our close friends Nate and Maddie Long hasn’t been around for a while, but he’s the jumping bundle of joy for all of us! Wells loves bouncing up and down and playing the table drums. We’re so excited that he’s apart of our big day and we can't wait to watch him grow!
Kayla Vinzant
Kayla Vinzant - House Party
Kayla is married to my long-time friend Ryan. Getting close with her has been such a true answer to prayer--she is the most genuine person you will meet. She cares deeply for others, is crazy talented (seriously try one of her baked goods and literally die happy), and she serves with the purest heart. How perfect that we get to share life with her and Ryan?! Love this girl and so glad she will be a part of our day!
Kasey Erck
Kasey Erck - House Party
Kasey came into my life in college and easily became one of my closest friends. She is that person that makes you feel so heard and loved in every possible way. Her heart for others shines when you first meet her, and I have the fondest memories exploring and enjoying the simple things in life together, always soaking up every second. She reminds me of what it means to truly serve others, and I love that Kase is a part of our day!
Mia & Brooke Houston
Mia & Brooke Houston - Flower Girls
These cuties light up my life. The joy they bring me has no measure, and I am most happy when I have them as my sidekicks. Mia loves all things GIRL and I love her spunky, care-free attitude. My Brookie girl is the tomboy side of me with all the spice one heart can handle--fun and vivacious in every way. They bring laughter and happiness to every room they walk into--especially mine. I am so thankful to call them family and that I get to share this day with them!
