Our Wedding

<p>Boy have we come a long way! We met at a concert in June 2017 where we immediately hit it off so we exchanged numbers and added each other on Snapchat. Snapchat was our form of communication throughout the summer until August when we started texting and hanging out after our summer plans calmed down. On September 16, 2017 after a Charlotte football game, Wyatt asked me out and we dated for 8 months. In May of 2018, we broke up and didn’t talk to each other until September 2021 thanks to both of our best friends not telling us we were going to the same place (shout out to Alyssa, Scott, and Brendan). At first we didn't really talk and I wouldn’t even look at him but by the end of the night we were talking like best friends. It was kind of an awkward month after that of hanging out in group settings a little and starting to text again. In October of 2021 at another concert (maybe PNC should be our venue) round 2 of being together started! After a couple months of talking, Wyatt asked me to be his girlfriend on December 16th, 2021. Flash forward to December 8th, 2023 we go on our annual Christmas light adventure for our anniversary and little did I know that Wyatt was proposing! Obviously I said yes and that brings us to where we are! We have worked through so much to be the strong couple we are but had so much fun in our relationship. Letting God lead us and continuing our adventures has been amazing. We look forward to the future and celebrating the start of our marriage with you!</p>

Our Story

Photos

Beth is my sister-in-law and best friend. I am in constant communication with her (Wyatt and Bruddy love this)! She has brought so much fun to our lives and is always down for a good time. She has been such a good support system and always had my back. I couldn’t have asked for a better sister all those years ago! 

Beth Baker

Emma is my soon to be sister-in-law! We have gotten so close and I’m so thankful for that. I love the time we get to spend together and watching her grow up into the amazing person she is. Emma has a care free attitude for most things in life and always keeps life entertaining for us. I am so excited to have her be a part of our day!

Emma Lowder

Alex was my neighbor growing up starting in 5th grade but we didn’t become friends until 8th grade when we had a class together. 8th grade-12th grade if you saw one of us, you probably saw the other. We have been on so many adventures together that I wouldn’t trade for the world. We’ve been doing long distance friendship since 2015 but when we get together there’s no stopping us!

Alex Canida

Alyssa and I have been friends since 6th grade and were roommates for 7 years! She is my fun time girl who I never get tired of (hence being roomies for so long). We are the same person in a lot of ways and half the reason that Wyatt and I are here today. She is a leader in Jesus and someone I can always go to and count on. I could’ve never survived this far in life without her. Forever thankful for still living so close together and having our friendship evolve with each stage of life. 

Alyssa Kendall

Bek is my longest friend! We were basically raised by the same parents and did everything together as kids. She is such a unique person and walks to the beat of her own drum which I love about her. We don’t see each other too often anymore, but we pick up like we never left when we do. She is a blast to be around and I’m thankful to not remember a life without her!

Bekah Ratliff

Mary Stewart has been my bestie since she was born. She is the life of the party and one of the funniest people I know. Most of my childhood memories involve Mary and getting into some shenanigans together. We don’t get to see each other as often as I’d like but when we are together we don’t miss a beat. She’s a great friend to have on your side and I’m thankful that I do!

Mary Mills

Kaitlyn is Alex’s sister so naturally she hung out with Alex and I all the time. She quickly became one of my favorite people as she is so fun to be around. She will keep you on your toes and make sure you’re having a good time. She is my party girl who matches my energy and I love her for it. 

Kaitlyn Moss

Kursti is my other soon to be sister-in-law! I’m so excited that we get to be officially family soon. Kursti is so much fun to be around. We’ve had a few fun adventures together and I’m excited for many more! 

Kursti Sosebee

Brendan and I met in 2nd grade and we have been best friends since. We lived together during college and still talk to each other every day. He’s been there for me through everything. He’s been my partner in crime through all the dumb things we did in elementary school and college. I know he’s someone I can always count on when I need something. 

Brendan Galloway

Scott was introduced to me by Brendan sophomore year of college. Both being big into sports we became friends quick and started hanging out more. Scott is actually who introduced Sarah and I at a concert back in 2017. We ended up becoming even better friends since we dated best friends and saw a lot of each other. Scott and I ended up living together for a year in college along with Brendan. Now we are marrying those best friends who helped us become closer. 

Scott Kendall

Eric and I met in 7th grade and became good friends when we both made the middle school baseball team. We ended up playing baseball together all the way through high school where we became even better friends . Eric would eventually go to college in Wilmington, but we remained super close. I would go down and visit at least once a semester and hang out like old times. 

Eric Hamilton

Daniel is my soon to be brother-in-law and I cannot wait to officially be family soon! There is never a dull moment when Daniel is around. Anytime we are together it's usually a lot of sports talk and  cutting up. I’m excited to be brothers soon and watch him and Beth raise their son, Luke.

Daniel Baker

Hunter and I first met in college when he was shortstop on the baseball team and I was the loud obnoxious fan in the stands. Most of our best times came from college, especially when we were just hanging out on the 3rd floor balcony at his apartment talking about whatever we had on our mind. Now instead of the balcony at his college apartment, Hunter and I hang out on the golf course a lot still trying to break 90.

Hunter Jones

Austin “Keg” Jones is Hunter’s brother and there is so much I can say about him, but don’t have the room.  He is one of a kind and you truly never know what’s about to come out of his mouth. We became close friends in college while traveling and sitting in the stands and Hunter’s games and are still close. We see each other at least once a week whether it be a dinner with Sarah and Colton during the week or at his apartment watching sports on 1 of his 5 TV’s.

Austin Jones

Colby is my older cousin who is more like a brother to me. He’s always been such a positive supporter of everything I have done throughout my life. From being little kids and being spoiled by our grandparents till now he’s always someone I can call on when I need anything.

Colby Gunter

Bailey is my younger cousin who is also like a brother to me. We became even closer when we both worked at Autobell while I was in college. We would work almost everyday together and mess around nonstop. I am thankful that I get to call him family and know he is always someone I can call on too if I need anything. 

Bailey Gunter

Webb and I go way back to tee ball days as kids. We played together on numerous baseball, football, and basketball teams growing up and as well as living in the same neighborhood as kids. We spent time together almost everyday before or after school and spent the weekends at each other's houses almost every other weekend. I’m thankful that our friendship has lasted over 20 years now and still remains strong no matter the circumstances.

Q + A

<p>Our venue is in a fairly remote location. We recommend staying in Monroe, Rockingham, or towards Lake Tillery. </p>

They spelled Taylor as Tayler (went back and forth with it being spelled incorrectly a few times and this is close enough!) so don’t be alarmed that it’s the wrong room block when you see that!
