Sam & Nick

June 8, 2024 • Ball Ground, GA
Olivia Summers
Olivia Summers - Maid of Honor
From playing school as kids to pulling each others hair out in high school, Liv has been there for it all. She is the best at celebrating others and gives so much of herself to the people she cares about. I am so lucky to be on the receiving end of her generosity. It is a guarantee that she will bring the party.
Wyatt Hodgkins
Wyatt Hodgkins - Best Man
Wyatt, I am sorry for knocking your teeth out when you were two years old. To make up for it, I have made you best man. But seriously, I could not ask for anybody better to be my best man. You are the life of the party, always know how to brighten any room, and I would be honored to have you brighten our wedding day.
Jordan Bandy
Jordan Bandy - Bridesmaid
Meeting during sorority rush, I knew I wanted to be friends with Jordan. Her carefree spirit and love for 90s country makes for an adventure every time we are together. I am already looking forward to her Yee-yee on the dance floor at the reception.
Jacob Egan
Jacob Egan - Groomsman
Jacob (Jeegan) and I met in college and quickly became close friends. Growing closer when living with his family in the summer of 2018 while working at a summer camp together, Jeegan and I have been close friends ever since. This continued after college, as we have been roommates over the past few years. He is a friend who you can always count on, and I am honored to have him part of our special day.
Mary Schlies
Mary Schlies - Bridesmaid
Mary Schlies, my Colga girl (Colga is the endearing term for Columbus, GA). Mary and I met freshmen year at UGA and the rest was history. We survived living in a shoebox together our sophomore year. She has more than tolerated but LOVED me so well in the changing seasons. She is an encourager to all who know her and I am so lucky to have her by my side.
Landers Sentell
Landers Sentell - Groomsman
Landers and I grew close while living together during our first year out of college. We spent most of that year refining our tennis skills (under a rigid ping pong scoring system), and really soaking in all that television had to offer in 2020 - Ozark, Tiger King, The Last Dance - I'll stop there. I am glad that we have continued to stay close friends, and am thankful to have you in our wedding party.
Aubrey Neal
Aubrey Neal - Bridesmaid
Aubrey and I became quick friends in Athens with a shared love for coffee, getting outside, walks, talks about Jesus, and of course the dawgs. She is always in my corner. She is so thoughtful in her words and her friendship.
Josh Neal
Josh Neal - Groomsman
Josh and I met in college, and quickly became close friends. I've always appreciated how easily Josh can get us all laughing. He is one of those friends to me that always makes things just a little more fun. I am thankful for our friendship Josh - and I can't wait to have you part of our wedding.
MaKenna Merrifield
MaKenna Merrifield - Bridesmaid
Mak and I became friends living together in our old and crusty apartment in Athens, GA. From late night talks on my bed to traveling together in Wyoming and Colorado, Mak is one of my favorite people in this world and such a blessing.
Sean Larsen
Sean Larsen - Groomsman
Sean and I met in college, and really grew close through hobbies. I had never gone skiing, and Sean invited me on a 4 day trip to Breckenridge through his hometown church. Sean and I also took many trips to my grandparents farm in Commerce. Being only 30 minutes away from Athens, there were many days spent on the farm, and Sean was always the first one there. I am very thankful for Sean and his love for the outdoors. Glad to have you in our wedding party.
Emily Austin
Emily Austin - Bridesmaid
Emily and I both went to UGA but did not connect until medical school when we became roommates. By the time Nick and I get married, we will have been roommates for 4 years -- Time has flown! I am going to miss her grill skills, the porch hangs, landlord skills, and all her nuggets of wisdom. Thankfully, we get to celebrate with two weddings before we embark on new adventures. Cheers to the Kruegers!
Nick Owens
Nick Owens - Groomsman
Nick and I grew close living together my sophomore year of college. I have such great memories from that year - and Nick is in almost all of them. Years later - you now only live 10 minutes away, and are still such a great and consistent friend. I am very thankful for you Nick, and so happy to have you in my wedding party.
Bailey Allen
Bailey Allen - Bridesmaid
Bailey and I met in medical school as first years in the midst of COVID. Since then, we have bonded over our cringe love for Twilight and became roommates. She keeps me laughing and puts up with all my weird traits as a roommate. I am so thankful to have her by my side.
Nick Leach
Nick Leach - Groomsman
Nick and I grew close in college, but really bonded through our common interest of running. Nick and I signed up for a Triathlon in Jekyll Island my Junior year. Those months of training, and the race in Jekyll are such great memories for me. I am thankful that Nick and I have still continued to stay close through the years. Nick is such a loving guy - I think anyone who knows him can attest to that. I am thankful for you - and happy you will be in our wedding.
Max Yelken
Max Yelken - Groomsman
Max and I had many classes together in the business school at UGA, and quickly became close friends. If you know max - you know that you will never have a boring conversation with him. He is a wildcard in the best sense of the word. Max was also there the first time Sam and I really met, and gave me the pep talk needed to ask her on a date. Since then, he has been such a great friend, and has been so supportive of Sam and I through the years. I couldn't me more thankful for a friend like you Max, and I am so glad you will share this special day with us.
