Stephanie Atkins-Arnett - Day of Coordinator
Stephanie is Shiloh’s eldest sister, and even before they actually met in person, Cori and Stephanie started to become close. Fortunately, Stephanie, with her husband Will and son Xan, live close by to Cori’s extended family and close friend Hannah, so they have gotten to see each other several times over the course of the last year and a half. In that time, Stephanie has become like a sister to Cori as well. (Fun fact — they share the same birthday!) Being Shiloh’s eldest sister, a very successful entrepreneur (AKA the boss lady!), and always smiling and fun to be around, who better to be the Day of Coordinator?? With that said, let it be known that Stephanie speaks with the power of the bride and groom the day of the wedding. If she tells you something, it is by request or envision of Cori and/or Shiloh, so please do what she says!
Emily Buckles - Matron of Honor
Emily and Cori met each other at Concordia Bank and Trust Company. It was one of those kinds of friendships where a kindred soul just recognized a kindred soul, and they quickly became great friends. God’s timing is perfect, and he knew Cori would need a strong, capable, more-knowledgeable-about-weddings-and-‘girly’-stuff-than-she, close-by friend to help her navigate organizing and planning a wedding, and that’s exactly what he gave her.
Nathan Latimer - Best Man
Shiloh and Nathan became friends so long ago they’re more like brothers than just friends. Many adventures, memories, and good times have been had between them over all the years. In all that time, Nathan has always been a trustworthy, reliable, steadfast, genuine, good-natured buddy. Shiloh is glad to have him by his side as he says ‘I do’.
Hannah Fulgham - Bridesmaid
Hannah and Cori became friends many years ago, in 7th Grade at Tipton-Rosemark Academy. Both awkward, skinny as a beanpole (at that time anyways), and horse-loving, they hit it off and quickly became great friends. Despite living around an hour apart, they managed to pester their parents enough to be able to hang out outside of school regularly. Even after Hannah moved to another school, and Cori moved to another state, their friendship thrived. Upon graduating high school, Hannah moved in with Cori in Mississippi, and they both attended Mississippi State University and local horse shows and trail rides together. They had a ball of a time. Eventually, though, Hannah moved out, and Cori moved on to other places. But, regardless of distance, still their friendship remains, and Cori is glad to have such a long-time, loyal, committed friend beside her when she says ‘I do’.
Andrew Walker - Groomsman
Andrew and Shiloh have been friends so long they’re really more like brothers. Over all the years they’ve shared many experiences and made many memories— one big example is Shiloh’s first airplane trip when they went to Las Vegas for Andrew’s bowling tournament and had loads of fun! Through all the heartbreaks and happiness, they’ve been there in some way for each other for it all, and Shiloh is looking forward and glad to have Andrew by his side as he says ‘I do’!
Sophie James - Bridesmaid
Sophie and Cori became friends so long ago that they don’t remember not being friends. They met through homeschooling events when they were little kids and became very good friends. Throughout all the years and Cori’s moves to all different states, their friendship has survived. Sophie has always remained a loyal friend, a source of support, and an ear to vent to for Cori, and Cori is glad to have her by her side as she says ‘I do’.
Zack Warren - Groomsman
Zack and Shiloh have worked together for a few years now and been friends for even longer. In that time, they’ve faced hardships, broken hearts, and shared goofy moments. Similar to Shiloh, Zack has a dry sense of humor, so they are always making each other grin and helping the hard days at work go by just a little easier. Shiloh is glad to have Zack be apart of the big day and beside him as he says ‘I do’!
Skylar Owens - Bridesmaid
Skylar and Cori became friends not long before Cori met Shiloh. Certainly, it was God’s timing for them to meet and become friends, because Skylar was there for Cori in a way no one else could be at the time, and Cori will be forever grateful for that. They have a special bond, having kindred spirits with many similar interests, and Cori is glad to have her by her side on the big day! (Especially, to help be the life of the party!)
Joseph Scott - Groomsman
Though a few years younger than Shiloh, Joseph and him have become good friends. Shiloh rather took Joseph under his wing when they were younger and over the years has become like a big brother to him. Joseph’s one of those people with a great, fun attitude, happy-go-lucky, and a genuinely good heart. He’s one of those people that’s always smiling and making you smile and laugh as well. Shiloh is glad to have him beside him for the big day, and especially to help be the life of the party!
