Our Story

Photos

Sandra and I met our senior year of high school while looking for college roommates. We roomed together all four years of college, and I firmly believe God had his hand in that! Over the years Sandra has grown to become my best friend and someone I consider family! I have been blessed to watch Sandra and Tyler’s relationship begin and grow while we were in college, and I couldn’t have hand picked someone better for Sandra! I also have Sandra and Tyler to thank for introducing me to my boyfriend, Tommy, who is also in the bridal party; I might be biased, but I think they’re pretty good match makers! To tell you a little bit about myself: I enjoy spending time with friends and family, hiking, traveling, and all things Clemson football! I am passionate about helping people and am working towards pursuing a career as a physician assistant. I’m honored to be a part of this wedding, and I’m looking forward to helping Sandra and Tyler prepare for their big day!

Victoria McCraw

I first met Sandra and Tyler in 2018 when we all worked at Chick-fil-A Lavonia together. I knew Sandra and I were going to get along very well, and I’m glad I was right! Tyler and Sandra are perfect for each other and I’m so glad that I get to be a part of their special day. The endless laughs, college football talks and being the person I can come to for the best advice are just a few highlights of our friendship. For those of you who haven’t met me, I was born and raised in Tuscaloosa, AL (Roll Tide!). I’m married to my wonderful husband, Clay, who actually knew Sandra long before I did. Clay and I just welcomed our first child, Hudson, on March 4, 2021. I love the beach, hanging out with family and friends, and everything Alabama sports! I’m so excited to see what the future holds for these two!

Ashlin Bandy

Sandra and I met through the Bridge 2021 facebook page our senior year of high school. We lived together our first two years of college and became besties almost instantly. Sandra has had such a huge impact on my life and I am so grateful for her friendship. When she met Tyler her world changed and I have never been more happy for them. A little bit about me: I love quality times with friends and family, shopping, going outdoors, cycling, and listening to music! I am going to be a high school teacher in the fall and I love history!! i’m looking forward to being a part of the big day!!

Julia Smith

I met Sandra freshman year through Victoria and then we were roommates for the next three years! I’m glad we’ve gotten to know each other through the years because Sandra is such a fun and caring person to have as a friend. I’ve been able to see how her and Tyler have raised their dog/child Charlie, and they make the perfect trio together. As for me, I would consider myself an environmentalist and I plan on having a career in the near future that will in someway help the planet. I’m so excited to share such a special moment with them, and I can’t wait!

I first met Sandra when we were in middle school. We attended church together, then high school, and also worked together at Chick-Fil-A in Greenwood. Sandra has been one of my most constant and faithful friends. We’ve  gone prom dress shopping, been on trips, and spent many hours together or on the phone talking about life and all the things happening in it. I can not thank the Lord enough for placing Sandra in my life. Throughout the years she has stood by me and loved me through thick and thin, and now I have the honor of standing next to her on her and Tyler’s big day! I love these two together and am so excited for what the Lord has in store for their lives! A little bit about me: My favorite thing in the world is a good iced chai latte and a good 90’s rock album! Even though I attend North Greenville University, my blood runs orange and purple (Go Tigs!), and I am a sucker for a late night cookout tray! I love spending time with friends and family, cold weather, and anywhere I can see as many stars as possible! I am so thrilled for Tyler and Sandra and cannot wait to celebrate their relationship and the Lord’s sovereignty in bringing them together!

Hey, I’m Michael I’m Tyler’s brother. When I’m not working you can find me spending time with my beautiful fiancé Brianna or hanging out with Tommy or at the gym. I’m so grateful my brother has found someone to spend the rest of his life with. Sandra is like the sister I’ve never had. These two are perfect for each other and I know God has a big plan for their future. I’m very excited to see where life takes them! I wish nothing but the very best for them. I love you both!

Michael Smith

My name is TJ and I’ve known Matthew since the 6th grade. Since then he has been one of my closest and dearest friends! We have had a class together every year except senior year. We would always sit beside each other and make a boring class fun! Throughout the years we have made tons of memories that I hold close to me. From cutting up in the back of classes, watching football together, to drag races on Friday nights and so much more! I have waited very long to see this sweet couple come together and can not wait for this day!


TJ Sosby

Hey, I'm Clay! I am from Auburn, Alabama and I am married to my beautiful wife Ashlin! We also have a son named Hudson! I am honored to be a part of this special day with Tyler and Sandra. Their friendship has been such a blessing in my life. I could not imagine two better people for each other! Love you guys! 

Clay Bandy

Let me go ahead and introduce myself as Tyler’s other, better brother from another mother. When I’m not at work, you can find me hunting or fishing. I’ve known Tyler for about 9 years now through his older brother (Michael). In the last year and a half I’ve gotten a lot closer with Tyler from Sandra and my girlfriend, Victoria, dragging us on many double dates together. Through all of our adventures together, I can tell that Tyler and Sandra are a perfect match for each other, and I can’t wait to see where life takes them! 

Tommy Ledford

I’ve known Tyler for almost nine years. We played baseball together but we were never close. But over the last two years working at Chick-fil-A, Tyler has grown to be one of my best friends! We cut up and dance all the time at work! He’s like a brother to me and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for Tyler and Sandras life!
