June Dozier - Maid of Honor
June Dozier, the Maid of Honor, has been a friend of the bride for about 10 years now. Their shared love of horses and attendance at Shiloh UMC brought them together, and they have been inseparable ever since. They sing duets at church, spend time together at the Dozier farm, and enjoy being out in the peaceful countryside! Xander is sometimes startled at the similarities between the two (They can accidently dress the same or sometimes say the same thing at the same time), but he is glad to be a part of their crazy shenanigans. Because of June, Rachel has become an honorary member of the Dozier family, and both girls cannot wait to share this special time together that leads up to the big day.
Zack Gray - Best Man
Zack Gray and Kenneth Holley can basically be considered a package deal. These two plus the groom make up the most dangerous Three Musketeers the world has ever seen! The three met while attending Augusta State University, and became fast friends. They became the backbone of the newly formed Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity on campus, and that needs no more explanation. Shenanigans galore…and we shall leave it at that! All joking aside, the guys have been a great help to Xander during the years they've known him, and are great friends that would do anything for each other.Xander is very thankful Zach agreed to be his best man, and Kenneth agreed to be a groomsman because Xander could not picture his wedding day without the other two members of the Three Musketeers.
Johnna Kelley - Bridesmaid
Johnna Kelley has been friends with the bride throughout their high school and college years. They both share a strong scholastic drive, and helped ease the nerves and test anxieties of the other throughout the years! On paper, it wouldn't seem these two would get along. Johnna enjoys the city life, alternative music, and does not like crime shows, while everyone knows Rachel loves the country life, country music, and her crime dramas. Despite their differences, every brunette needs a blond bestie, and for Rachel that is Johnna. They don't always agree on everything, but they know the other will always be there for them no matter what.
Cody Adkins - Groomsman
Cody Adkins has been like a brother to the groom over the many years they have known each other. The two met when both Cody and Xander's families were living in Germany. Although not blood related, the two families act as kin, spending holidays together and sharing in special events with one another. Although Cody is now in Hawaii with the Navy, when the two actually get together it's like nothing has changed since they were little kids! Xander is very grateful Cody is going to make the long trek back from the tropical paradise to be present at his wedding!
Becky Reed - Bridesmaid
Becky Reed has been many things to the bride since they met in 8th grade. She has transitioned from Rebecca, to Becca, to her current status of Becky. Although Becky has not been able to attend many events leading up to the wedding because of distance, we know she is with the bride in spirit! The two are very close and share so many inside jokes one usually forgets and has to be reminded why something is funny. They've been through a lot together, and as Becky always says after 7 years of being friends, it's basically a guarantee that the two will be besties for life!
Taylor Pumphrey - Groomsman
Taylor Pumphrey and the groom have been best friends since childhood. They both grew up in Jacksonville, Florida getting into all kinds of trouble throughout their young years! Long long ago, children could play outdoors all day long without parents having to worry too much about their safety. These boys played dawn till dusk riding bikes, making up games to play in the park, and stopping in at friends' houses to get fed when they got hungry.Even though Xander moved away, the two still stayed in touch. Even though they don't get to see each other often, the boys are still great friends, and Xander is so excited to have Taylor be a part of his wedding crew.
Kaila Judson - Bridesmaid
Kaila Judson's friendship was an accident. A friend of a friend, she and the bride didn't quite hit it off at first 3 years ago. Somehow, as time went on, they became friends and actually became quite close! Confidants and therapists emerged as they have helped each other with many issues, large and small over the years. They share a deep love for Luke Bryan, which Xander rolls his eyes at, but they love him anyway. Kaila is the one to send in when Rachel needs to loosen up and have some fun! She's a great dance partner at the girls' favorite dancing spot in Augusta, and they have been known to dance the night away! It's never boring when they are together (i.e. Master's week at the Country Club), they always have juicy gossip to discuss, and can talk for hours about little things that no one else but them would care about. What matters is they understand each other, and Rachel is so glad an accidental meeting produced such a great friend!
Kenneth Holley - Groomsman
Kenneth Holley and Zack Gray can basically be considered a package deal. These two plus the groom make up the most dangerous Three Musketeers the world has ever seen! The three met while attending Augusta State University, and became fast friends. They became the backbone of the newly formed Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity on campus, and that needs no more explanation. Shenanigans galore…and we shall leave it at that! All joking aside, the guys have been a great help to Xander during the years they've known him, and are great friends that would do anything for each other.Xander is very thankful Zach agreed to be his best man, and Kenneth agreed to be a groomsman because Xander could not picture his wedding day without the other two members of the Three Musketeers.
Melissa Stanley - Bridesmaid
Melissa Stanley and the bride became friends about 2 years ago because of Xander's friendship with Melissa's boyfriend, Patrick. After meeting and hitting it off instantaneously, the girls soon realized how similar they were (aka scary similar) and how alike Patrick and Xander are. Again, scary similar. The rest is basically history, something Melissa loves! She's a great source of info, and Rachel loves hearing all the family stories and history of the Atlanta/Kennesaw area that Melissa knows. The girls have been known to escape for shopping trips/gossip sessions while the boys veg watching football games. Although it's only been a few years, Melissa and Patrick seem like friends that have been around forever and will hopefully be forever friends that Rachel and Xander can spend retirement relaxing with at the lake!
Patrick Bird - Groomsman
Patrick Bird met the groom while they were both students at Georgia Military College in Augusta. Their love of sports, and we're talking allllll kinds of sports here much to the brides dismay, has helped these two form a great friendship and bond over the last few years. Bridesmaid Melissa and the bride have come to realize the boys are basically the same person, and it's always interesting when they hang out! Thankfully Patrick lives in the same area as the groom so they have been able to take advantage of the close proximity and enjoy getting together and watching hours upon hours of football games, wrestling matches, and the occasional horse race imposed on them by the girls! The boys are good sports though, and both guys have hearts of gold. Xander is thankful for Patrick and Melissa's friendship and the fact that they have become closer over the last year. He is very excited to have them both be a part of the wedding party so they can share in this special day!
Krosse Davis - Groomsman
Krosse Davis is the groom's nephew. A whiz kid with a black belt in karate, Krosse is very excited to get to be a groomsman in his uncle's wedding! The two are very close and share many common interests, such as supporting the Florida Gators and enjoying Xanders mom's food. These boys can eat! Both the bride and groom look forward to the many years ahead with Krosse and can't wait to cheer him on at his next endeavor, whatever it may be!
Idalia Davis - Bridesmaid
Idalia Davis is the sister of the groom and future sister in law of the bride, and has known Rachel for about 3 and a half years now. As an only child, Rachel will finally have a sister (besides June), and gains a nephew in Idalia's son, Krosse! The mother/son duo are tons of fun, and Rachel looks forward to getting to know them better as the years progress!
