Wedding Party

Sydney Copeland
Sydney Copeland - Co Maid of Honor
Meet Sydney! Sydney is my smarter half. Although we used to pick on each other like cats and dogs (lol) we have grown to truly enjoy each other’s company. Sydney is a brilliant and talented veterinarian in Monroe. She’s also engaged and she’s a dog mom of three; Molly, Boo, and Mr. Banks. She enjoys cooking, snuggling with the pups (and sometimes Cody), and traveling.

Alaina Canaday
Alaina Canaday - Co Maid of Honor
Alaina and Sam have known each other since Preschool at MBS! They have been best friends for as long as anyone can remember. Alaina and Sam love to go out to eat (especially Red Lobster with Daniel), have jam sessions, Starbucks trips, and traveling to OBA! Alaina is easily one of the kindest people you will ever meet! She’s never more than a phone call away, and if you know Sam she calls her a lot! Alaina and her family hosted the proposal and made the night magical for everyone that attended. Alaina is a recent graduate from LSU and some of her hobbies include playing guitar and piano, working out, and most importantly spending time with her wonderful friends and family!
Erin Ellison
Erin Ellison - Bridesmaid
Best friends since 2012! The most genuine laugh you’ll hear from them is when they’re together. Together Sam and Erin love to go thrift shopping, eat chips and salsa, and have therapy sessions (if you know, you know). Erin and Sam have loved to coordinate outfits since high school. It’s rare to see them not matching! Erin is 23 years old and a student at Fran U. She’s a beautiful, fun, loving, adventurous, one of a kind girl! Fun fact about Erin, she introduced Sam to clarinet and band! Most importantly, she showed her Sushi Yama which quickly became Sam’s favorite place to eat!
Brady Calcote
Brady Calcote - Bridesman
Meet Brady! Brady and Sam met in LSU’s Symphonic band in 2016! You would think they’ve known each other their whole lives! Together they share a love of sushi, clarinet, talking too much, and most importantly, Wahada Wednesdays! Brady and Sam slept outside of a local CFA to win free food for a whole year! Together they started a quarter, that also included Richard Tuminello, known as the Stately Oaks Quartet at LSU. Brady is currently a senior at LSU and will be graduating this spring.
Amber Chavez
Amber Chavez - Bridesmaid
Meet Amber! Amber and I met through St. Michael band back in 2014. Along with Erin and myself, Amber was also a clarinet player and often helped push me to be a better musician! I love that Amber is always down for anything, from hiking across Louisiana to a simple fast food feast in the car. Amber is a phenomenal photographer (she took those beautiful engagement shots!) Amber is one of the sweetest people that I know, and anyone that gets to know her will agree! She’s currently working at Camp Bow Wow (Cai’s favorite worker at that) while still being in school.
Mary Vanhaverbeke
Mary Vanhaverbeke - Bridesmaid
Mary and I met back in 2014! She instantly became one of my closest friends. Together we helped our favorite teacher, Mrs. Fell, start up the Powerlifting team at SMHS. Mary also was a member of band, which is where a lot of our memories happened! Mary recently graduated from LA Tech in Ruston.
Helen Alford
Helen Alford - Bridesmaid
Meet Helen or should we say Queen? Helen and I met through a combination of St. Jude and LSU band. After Brady officially introduced us to one another at a party, Helen and I instantly became friends. Helen is a student at LSU, plays clarinet in the tiger band, and most importantly she’s Queen of Endymion!
