Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Our story goes way back...way back to the start of Instagram.Remember when there was a race to get your first 100 followers (maybe that was just me and Ashley lol)? Like when you followed mutual friends just go get your followers up? Well that's when I first saw Dwight.We didn't communicate for years until he pulled the classic iMessage games trick and we ended up texting and going to a Magic game...and then I didn't text back for 5 years. In 2021 we reconnected through Instagram yet again. Unfortunately, he moved to Nashville during the time I hadn't texted back, fortunately he was going to be in town a few weeks later for his nephew's graduation. During his quick trip home he learned my real name, Savannah because I got pulled over taking him home lol. I was certain I wouldn't hear from him again, but a few hours later he told me he'd pick me up at 7pm on Saturday. Before I knew it, school was out and I spent my entire summer visiting Nashville every two weeks (shout out to Jey for letting me work 10 days straight to have 4 off in a row). Moving to Nashville started as a joke but it got very real when I applied for a job, got hired, and moved to Nashville within 3 months of that date...apparently they're desperate for teachers here. Since moving to Nashville to be with Dwight, we have been on numerous trips, countless adventures and enjoyed more sporting events than I can count. There is never a dull moment because we are both ready to try something new whenever we have a free moment. His competitive spirit pairs well with mine and our life with our sweet pup, Jake, couldn't be more wholesome. Experiencing this love is something I pray that every person will have in their lifetime. Choosing to spend my life loving Dwight and Jake is the easiest decision I've ever made. I am beyond excited for you all to be apart of our love story on our wedding day &lt;3

If you ask her....

Many years ago back when people cared about instagrams follows, Savannah Grace Patterson decided to follow me and I followed back. Many years later Savannah decided to slide up on my imessage games post. Few weeks later we went on our first date—an Orlando Magic game. What I thought was an awesome date. Couple days later she dropped me like a bad habit. A lot of years later , Savannah Grace Patterson once again decided to slide up on another one of my posts on Instagram. Couple weeks later she was in Nashville hanging out with me and Jake. Couple years later here we are getting married.

Hi there!! Self-proclaimed bestfriend, maid of honor, and wedding planner here! While I would like to insert all the mushy gushy girls girl quotes and remember when’s, I’ll save all that for the big speech. BUT, what I will say is… DWIGHTTTTTTT!!! You better have your tissues ready brother because your Bride looks stunning!! You may even need to pass one over to me. 

I cannot wait for the big day to get here, but y’all better keep us on track. After 15 years of friendship, it’s safe to say Grace and I struggle to get anywhere on time together. I’m even writing this bio late! (PS- thanks for the reminder bestie!!) Grace, you’ve had Dwrong… now it’s time for Dwight!!! I love you to the moon and back and I am so overjoyed for you both! Now let’s get to the alter!!

Abby

Hello, I am Cat to most, Cat Daddy to one. I am Grace’s younger (and favorite) sister (that’s not a joke). Grace has been everything and more anyone could ever ask for in an older sister, despite the “lollipop head” allegations I have received from her. While we didn’t always get along as kids, and got in trouble at Girl Scouts about it and I’m going to blame kid brain for not noticing sooner what I had in Grace. I realized what a good and kind person Grace was when she saw me as her socially awkward kid sister and still folded me into her very vivacious social life when I really needed a friend. I remember being envious as a kid at how funny and pretty and perfect she is and getting to grow up alongside her is such a treat. Even as adults, I know that she will always have my back, even if that means chasing my dog down a busy street just so I can spend some time with friends. Dwight is so lucky to have her and I am so lucky to be able to trust someone like him to make her happy for the rest of their lives. I’ve never had a brother before (shocker!) but I am so excited to have one in Dwight. We’ve certainly put him to the test, making him play cards against humanity with our mom and strongly encouraging him to read all of the inappropriate things out loud and he handled that and the dogs with grace, which is more than most people can manage so bravo to you. I am thrilled for you guys and can’t wait for you to move forward together, host as many family gatherings as I know y’all want to and share your love!

Gracie and I first met at college together at  Seton Hill University in 2015. We were teammates on the cross country team together. We became friends quickly especially when she took me in as an “honorary roommate” and let me stay at her apartment all of the time! Many laughs, long runs, glasses of wine, and late nights later I am so happy to have found such an incredible lifelong friend, despite us living so far away from one another! I am so lucky to have a friend like Grace! We have so many fun memories together (including a very sketchy van ride home in Florida)! She has a heart of gold, an infectious smile, is so genuine, and has a beautiful soul inside and out! I am SO excited to celebrate Grace and Dwight!! You guys are perfect for one another! Can’t wait to be on the dance floor all night long!

Grace and I met as cross country teammates at Seton Hill. We spent time together with the team until one night we became best friends in the whole wide universe. It was meant to be and encouraged by a little wine. After that, we were inseparable. Grace and I lived together, ran together, went to class together, and never got sick of each other. Ever since I’ve known her, Grace has had the ability to make me laugh no matter the situation. We’ve been through it all. My favorite memory with Grace was bringing her home with me for Thanksgiving so she could be with family and see snow. This was after I triple dog dared her to buy a snowboard, so it was perfect timing for that. We later staged a “flat snow tire” to get an extension on our childhood development project. Truly partners in crime. Grace has filled my life with laughter, love, and friendship. I couldn’t be happier to stand by her side on her special day. There is no one more deserving

I have known Grace for almost 10 years and she’s probably the best thing to come out of my long retail career (besides meeting my husband 🤭🤭). I love traveling and going on adventures but my heart will always be in Puerto Rico. I’m not a super sports girlie but according to my husband we “like the Yankees and the Jets”. My fondest memories with Grace include our summer beach trips and our late night meals/chats after a long day of work. But nothing tops her being there for me on my wedding day and sharing in my big day 😭.

My friend Abby told me about "Grace the Purple Grapes" from a Halloween party they attended at the same time, but it wasn’t until all three of us tried out for cheerleading together that we really met/ got to know Grace. We helped each other through cheerleading tryouts—Grace was the dancer, and I was the one who couldn’t seem to keep a beat to save my life. But she knew exactly how to help, and all three of us made it onto the team together making some of the earliest and best memories together as the trio that still stands today.

There were so many memories made over our 13+ friendship it's hard to remember all of my favorite ones. The late-night sleepovers, bonfires, and all those long talks about boys always stand out. I’ll never forget the day Grace told me she reconnected with Dwight—her voice lit up. I knew in that moment one day we would be celebrating the two of them spending the rest of their lives together. I am so happy for you Grace and can't wait to stand by you while you marry the love of your life.

When I met Dwight: I was one of the only “brothers” at All Saints Academy until my Junior Year! I remember Dwight had visited before to see what the school was all about and I got the chance to show him around. But we really got to know each other before Junior Year as we quickly realized we were about to go through the worst football season ever together. 

Favorite memories with Dwight: showing him the ways of the private school life. Dwight and I didn’t quite fit in with everyone else at ASA right away, but I made sure to introduce him to some of the cool people at school like Lisette and big Chevy haha. But my favorite memory is really how Dwight and I had to navigate a winless football season while being 2 of only 3 or 4 football players on the team junior year. Practices with our coach sleeping on the field, us creating celebrations we’d have to wait a year to use, our head coach faking heart attacks to get more attention. We laughed through it all somehow.

Favorite sports teams: Celtics, Red Sox, patriots. 

Hobbies: basketball, doing hood rat things with my friends, rooting against the Magic and Bucs
