Hi!! I’m Charlea! I am one of the bridesmaids and I am so excited to celebrate this amazing couple with all of you! I am from Springfield, TN and I first met Kyleah during orientation weekend at UT Martin for the nursing program. We hit it off right away, and it didn’t take long for us to figure out that one of us was definitely not going to be doing nursing after anatomy. Even though our paths took different turns, our friendship only got stronger over the years. Kyleah is truly one of the most genuine, fun-loving, and big hearted people I know. I’m so honored to be standing by her side on one of the most beautiful days!

I have had the privilege to know Kyleah since we were preschool. Back then I had no idea the impact she would have on my life. From getting to be roommates for a few months after a tragic home fire, to graduating high school together, to having her stand by my side when I married my husband, to now getting to be by her side when she marries the love of her life we have been through a lot together. She had always been like the sister I never got. She is the kindest most selfless person I know with the biggest heart. Raleigh is so lucky to get to spend the rest of his life with Kyleah. I pray he always cherishes the gift that God has given him. Kyleah I love you so much and I am so honored to be one of your bridesmaids! Now let’s get you married!!

Hey guys! My name is Grace, I’m 25, and I’m originally from central KY! I met Kyleah when we were both working at Tractor Supply. We quickly bonded over our love for books, horses, and humor and have been best friends since.

Hi I’m Taj. I’m RY’s cousin and the best man. I’ve known ry his whole life and grew up beside him, we’ve even lived under the same roof for a few years. Hes like a little brother to me.

Hey I’m Drew, I met Raleigh back in middle school, after that we just always kinda stuck around. Raleigh has always been one of the goofiest people I know and always finds a way to get ya laughing. And a fun fact is that we actually share the same birthday.

My name is Tristan Hicks, and I met Whelan when I was an inmate at Montgomery County Jail— and now we’re friends! All jokes aside, I actually met Raleigh when we both started our class to begin working for the county. From the start I thought he was just a chill guy with a funny sense of humor. Ironically how I first heard of Kyleah was when Whelan mentioned her unknowingly to her cousin— who also happened to start working with us in the same class. Through several outings with his bride-to-be and months of working alongside him, I can confidently say they’re two great people. I’m happy to see them getting married and what’s to come!
