Ella Grace Hopkins - Maid of Honor
Being ten years older, I've had the joy of watching Ella Grace grow up - and in the past few years, we've grown so much closer. What started as a big sister-little sister relationship has turned into a real friendship, and I'm incredibly proud of the person she's become. It means the world to have her standing by my side as my Maid of Honor.
Raven Hudgins - Matron of Honor
Raven has been with me through everything- the good, the bad, and all the messy stuff in between. She's got a brilliant mind, a huge heart, and she's truly a light to everyone around her. I honestly don't know what I'd do without her - she's been my rock, my go-to person, and a big reason I'm where I am today. I'm so lucky and so grateful to have her standing by my side on my wedding day!
Taylor Nelms - Bridesmaid
Taylor is my cousin and just a couple years older, and growing up, I wanted to do everything she did. She's been a constant presence in my life, full of kindness and sass, always keeping things interesting, and I'm so happy to have her standing with me on this special day.
Kylee Myers - Bridesmaid
Kylee is my best friend, my sister in Christ, and truly one of the biggest blessings in my life. Our friendship is rooted in faith, lots of prayer, and more than a few moments of uncontrollable laughter. She's just as goofy and awkward as I am - which is probably why we get along so well. I'm so thankful for her heart, her friendship and the joy she brings into every room... especially this one.
Cassie Machado - Bridesmaid
Cassie and I have been friends for over 15 years - and through all the phases, changes, and chapters of life, she's always been there. She's the kind of friend who shows up, makes you laugh when you need it most, and just gets you. I'm so lucky to have her by my side for this one, too.
Ellie Hulett - Bridesmaid
Ellie and I haven't known each other very long, but from the moment we met at church, it felt like we'd been friends forever. She's one of those rare people who makes you feel instantly seen, known and comfortable. Her warmth, encouragement, and faith have been such a gift in my life, and I'm so thankful to have her standing by my side on this special day.
Jenna Murray - Bridesmaid
Jenna is my soon-to-be sister-in-law, but also a friend in every sense of the word. From the very beginning, she welcomed me with warmth and kindness, and it's been such a joy getting to know her. She's a wonderful sister to Jamison, and I feel so lucky to call her both family and friend. I'm so grateful she's standing by me and Jamison's side on our special day.
Jeff Reitinger - Co-Best Man
Jamison’s younger brother. Only two years apart, they grew up very close and did most things together. They played sports together, hiked mountains together, got kicked out of bars together. Jeff is the kind of man who is never afraid to stand up for what he believes is right, and he's tougher than tobacco the devil won't chew.
JD Reitinger - Co-Best Man
Jamison’s older brother, also only two years apart and very close with Jamison. Our sister jokes that JD taught her what to do, and Jamison taught her what not to do - and I think that sums up JD, he takes the example he sets for others seriously. He’s naturally talented at everything he does, and he's someone you'd call to show you the way out of a tough situation.
Jake Murray - Groomsman
Jamison’s brother-in-law, Jake is a purple-heart veteran of the US Army. Though having been through more suffering in life than any one person should, he is still the kindest and most positive individual you will ever meet - while that may not be typical wedding bio material, it's one of the most admirable things about him aside from being a good & God-fearing husband to Jamison's sister and father to Jamison's niece & nephew.
Derek Tucker - Groomsman
Derek is one of Jamison’s oldest friends. They have been pretty much inseparable since kindergarten, and have learned the ropes of life together - Derek usually a half a step ahead. Derek was a big influence on Jamison getting back to church, and had he not been, Jamison may have never met Savannah.
Trey Pool - Groomsman in Absentia
Trey was one of Jamison's lifelong best friends. They shared a bond that spanned most of their lives, navigating the ups and downs together. Through decades of life, school, sports, breakups, job changes, and countless adventures, Trey was always there, a steadfast friend who brought joy to every moment. His ability to connect with everyone he met made him truly one of a kind. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in our hearts, and his absence is deeply felt.
Conner Crisp - Groomsman
Conner is one of Jamison’s oldest friends. They went through most of life together, despite failing at his attempts to keep Jamison out of trouble he never quit trying. He’s a die hard Texas sports fan, and almost as much of a Texan as Jamison. When Jamison first met Conner, he thought “I don’t like that guy. I’m not going to be friends with him.” He never did end up liking the guy, but Conner did end up being one of Jamison’s best friends.
Brent Reynolds - Groomsman
Brent and I have a strong friendship through church and have spent countless Sundays, small groups, and fellowship together. His faith & friendship have been a steady part of both Savannah & I’s life.
Mike Smith - Groomsman
Mike has discipled Jamison since he arrived at Eden Church, and has been incredibly influential in both Jamison & Savannah’s walk with Jesus. Cut from a similar cloth, Jamison got along with Mike well from the get-go, and Mike was a large part of Jamison working up the nerve to ask her out. It's tough to quantify all that is Mike Smith in a short bio - he's just Mike Smith, which honestly is a compliment in of itself.
Joe David - Groomsman
Joe is one of Jamison’s closest friends in Columbus, he’s married to one of Savannah’s bridesmaids and closest friends, so they spend a lot of time together. We can't say much about Joe here, but he's an important person in our lives.
Amerson Hopkins - Flower Girl
Amerson is Savannah’s sweet niece and mini me.
Ellie Mae Murray - Flower Girl
Jamison's prodigy. Ellie Mae (AKA Ellie Ice) believes in God, justice, and Texas. She has not and will not forget The Alamo.
Virginia Reitinger - Flower Girl
Virginia is Jamison's sweet niece - she loves the Dallas Cowboys, composting, and generally being awesome!
Matthew Murray - Ring Bearer
Matthew is Jamison's nephew, and he loves Savannah. He frequently neglects Jamison to flirt with her. He's on thin ice.
