Our Story

Photos

Jessica has been one of Stephanie’s most influential friends over the years. The pair met young and as they have grown neither distance nor time apart have been able to break down their relationship. When Jessica took off to UT, Stephanie followed right behind her (despite never being much of a Vol fan). Jessica has opened her heart and home and been there through hard times and so many more good times. They have that rare, lifelong type of relationship where you can show up in PJs, lay on each others couch, and the only question you are asked is do you want some wine? 🍷

Travis and Will go way back—like Cadillac seats 😎. From the pit to teaming up at Propack, they’ve always had each other’s back. Through all of life’s highs and lows—birthdays, bad days, love, and loss—their friendship has stayed strong. They’ve shared laughs that hurt your sides, conversations that run deep, and memories that have carried them across time and distance. Whether it’s showing up when it matters, sharing life’s chaos, or just enjoying the simple stuff, Travis has been a constant. Will couldn’t imagine having anyone else stand beside him as Best Man. Their friendship is more than just history—it’s family.

Tiffany and Stephanie have been an inseparable duo since 2nd grade. Over the years, they’ve shared every milestone, memory, and inside joke, proving time and again that some bonds are built to last. When challenges have come their way, they’ve been the first to lift each other up. They say if a friendship lasts more than 7 years, it’ll last a lifetime, but with Tiff, even forever feels too short. ♾️

From basketball to just having a ball, Will and Travus were fast friends. As they grew older and went from the baseball diamond to real diamonds💎 Travus didn’t skip a beat saying yes to being Will’s groomsman. They have that unspoken bond kind of friendship. There for each other whenever for whatever and hopping right back in when either is in need of a friend.

The best way to sum up how they met is “it all started with a BOOM 💥…” The two met as young adults out in the world for the 1st time. It was a fast friendship that included countless hours dancing and working out! The two quickly became besties having regular brunch and dinner dates. Daniece and Stephanie have the kind of bond that makes life and all the little moments so much sweeter 🍭

"The older brother nobody knew that they needed." Paul and Will bonded over their mutual hatred of sharing a space as kids. In adulthood, the two became the best of friends.

Hanna and Stephanie go way back to the sandbox! These two have taken part in more shenanigans than they’ll ever admit—Just ask Ms. Cleo 🔮.

To know Milo is to love him! Stephanie & Will's sweetest baby boy is spoiled but only because he deserves every bit. Stephanie first found Milo during the pandemic.

He is the perfect piece in the couples puzzle to join them and share in their love.

Tammy has always poured her heart into loving her family—and as the youngest of her “babies,” Will has felt that love in full force. She’s the one who always shows up, cheers the loudest, and makes sure the family stays connected through every milestone and celebration.

Will and Stephanie are deeply grateful for her unwavering support and the joy she brings into their lives.

Tom has been more than just a father to Will—he’s been a lifelong role model. From backyard barbecues to life lessons, he sets a high bar that Will aspires to reach—especially when it comes to grilling and perfectly timed dad jokes!  Tom seamlessly embraced Stephanie making her instantly feel like part of the family, a true testament to the kind of man he is. His welcoming and easy-going nature, unwavering values, and world-class dad humor, make Tom the kind of man both Stephanie and Will can easily look up to.

Kathy is the definition of strength, loyalty, and fierce love. She’s not just Stephanie’s mother—she’s her protector. She raised Stephanie to stand tall, speak her mind, and lead with her heart. Through every challenge and celebration, Kathy has been the steady force behind the scenes, the one who shows up without question and never backs down from what matters most. Stephanie is proud to walk into this new chapter with the resilience, confidence, and courage her mom instilled in her—and even more proud to have her support and love.

Robert may be a man of few words, but with a sharp wit, and a heart that runs deeper than he lets on, he can light up a room. From popcorn and football to scratch-offs and pizza, he's always know the way to Stephanie's heart. He’s the kind of dad who shows love in the little things: a helping hand, a well-timed joke, or just being there without needing to say much at all. While he may not make a big speech, his pride in Stephanie—and his approval of the man she has chosen—is loud and clear in the way only he can express.

Mrs. Dayna has always been like a mother to Stephanie. Taking her in as one of her crew she’s been a mentor, supporter, and friend. The two have always been more like family than anything. When Stephanie thought about who she would feel comfortable having to help her stay calm and prepared for the big day, she could think of no one more perfect than Mrs. Dayna ♥️
