Kloey Painter
Kloey Painter - Matron of Honor
My high school best friend who quickly became family in 10th grade. She’s the one who has been with me through it all in every life chapter. For those of you who know us together well, you understand we speak a whole different language. Our nicknames for each other still make me laugh - Klo the Hoe and Shan da Man. I’m thrilled to incorporate her children in our bridal party - Truett as a Jr. Usher and Hattie as our flower girl.
Annie Woerpel
Annie Woerpel - Bridesmaid
My very best college bestie, a roommate for 3 years and the one I shared a shoebox room with in the sorority house - one of the best years of my life! There isn’t a college memory without her in it and I can’t imagine life without my Anna Rose. I’m forever thankful Arkansas & Zeta brought us together. Something I admire about our friendship is we have lived across the country from each other since after college and we still make each other a priority even when life gets busy.
Aubrey Schoenekase
Aubrey Schoenekase - Bridesmaid
One of my best college friends and Zeta sisters who I can count on to never turn down a shot of tequila and a fun late night! Aubrey has been a constant in my life for 10 years now and I’ve loved being in her and Taylor’s lives to celebrate all our big life milestones thus far. We've talked about our weddings since the day we met and I couldn't imagine my best day without her in it!
Lauren Shamblin
Lauren Shamblin - Bridesmaid
One of my first out-of-college co-workers who turned into a best friend quickly after we met. This girl knows how to celebrate and love her people so well and I’m lucky to have her in my circle. Lauren and I also share a love for the fashion industry - she makes my world a little brighter & sparklier, and anyone will know what I mean after meeting her.
Sara Manley
Sara Manley - Bridesmaid
The Denver roommate who was sent to me when I needed a friend like her the most. She helped me immensely during one of the hardest and saddest years of my life. Sara has a way with words and she has the ability to make you feel heard, loved and cared for. With her contagious laugh and positive energy that lights up any room, she helped me see the good in every day. I’ll always be thankful for this friendship. We also made the best quarantine buddies!
Natalie Lindsey
Natalie Lindsey - Bridesmaid
The Dallas girlfriend I never knew I needed! Thank you to Alex who brought us together! For the last two years, Natalie has been a loyal friend who I can always count on for a fun time. We share a love for the finer things in life, as well as, Dua Lipa, cute clothes, blogger Katey McFarlan and our dogs, Shay and Riggins, who became boyfriend/girlfriend the day they met ;)
Ashley Smith
Ashley Smith - Bridesmaid & Future Sister-in-Law
The sister-in-law who's living her best life in Chicago - although we miss her greatly in Dallas! She’s the cool, sporty girl of the family and has the best Zara style. I can’t wait to see her teach our future children all the best soccer moves and a thing or two about real estate!
Abby Smith
Abby Smith - Bridesmaid & Future Sister-in-Law
My fellow Razorback in the family - I’m so excited to cheer on our hogs together forever! WOOO PIG!! Abby will make an amazing aunt to our future children with her fun, sassy and carefree personality. We just gotta get her back to Dallas now along with her sister!
Chris Hill
Chris Hill - Best Man
Best friend for as long as I can remember. Chris and I lived together throughout college and have too many memories to count. Always loved jammin in Chris's room throughout high school and college!
Keith Amaral
Keith Amaral - Groomsman
Keith has always been one of, if not my most loyal friend. We met in 5th grade and Keith introduced me to many of my longest tenured friends. Keith is an amazing friend, doctor, and father.
Steven Spitz
Steven Spitz - Groomsman
Steven is an outstanding person and friend - one of those people admired by all. Steven and I lived together for 3 years after college and it was 3 of the best years of my life. Steven is always down for a good time and is my favorite person to go to concerts with.
Aaron Miller
Aaron Miller - Groomsman
Aaron and I are like brothers - we bicker and fight about most anything sports but I have always enjoyed the way our friendship has grown with our mutual love of sports. Aaron is a great friend and is always down for a great time - look for him to be wild on the dance floor! I am looking forward to the day when the Titans beat the Cowboys in the Super Bowl (Jk - Cowboys won’t ever make a Super Bowl)
Sina Kashef
Sina Kashef - Groomsman
Sina is an outstanding human being and I have always appreciated and admired Sina's willingness to help others. Sina is someone that I have always felt comfortable asking for advice and have enjoyed our deep conversations. It was always a pleasure being Sina's second choice after Chris Hill.
Sam Burch
Sam Burch - Groomsman
Sam and I became friends when we both worked at EY. We instantly clicked because we were the definition of 'work hard play hard'. Sam has slept on my couch visiting from Houston more times than I can count. Sam is someone I talk to weekly, always sharing new music and life updates.
Caleb Lewis
Caleb Lewis - Groomsman
Caleb and I have been friends since college and he has always been someone who I have loved being around. Our friendship is stronger than ever and it’s been exciting to go through major life events in parallel (Caleb is engaged to his amazing fiancé Edith and getting married the weekend after us!). Also, if there's tequila around - Caleb is your guy.
Matt Borden
Matt Borden - Groomsman
Matt has evolved as the quiet guy in the room to one of my best friends. I have always admired Matt's kindness to all and his willingness to go above and beyond to make others feel great. Matt is a great dude and it’s been awesome seeing our friendship grow to where it is now.
Ushers: Christopher, Jeremy, Michael and Shane Jones
Ushers: Christopher, Jeremy, Michael and Shane Jones
It only makes sense to have Shannon’s brothers in our wedding party! We’re so excited to incorporate them, and their children, our Jr. Ushers, into our wedding day.
