Our Wedding

<p>Connor and I first met in 2013 through mutual friends and would talk on a few occasions, but we didn't become close until 2 years later when one day, Connor walked into the store I used to work at and then he texted me once he left! We started hanging out and actually very briefly (and secretly haha) dated before I went off to college! We broke things off because of the distance and I thought that was the end of it. We both moved on and went our separate ways for 5 years. Fast forward to 2020, at the very start of the pandemic, Connor saw that I moved back home and decided to text me. After a few weeks of texting, he finally asked me to hang out. We went on a cute, but slightly awkward (lol) date at Shelby Farms Park, where we walked my dog and caught up for almost 2 hours! After that day, we never wanted to be apart! He is the greatest gift and I am so blessed by his unconditional love and kind heart. On August 22, 2021, we went to Harbor Town in downtown Memphis, and had a picnic by the MS river. I had been wanting to take some cute pictures of us, so we put his phone up on a tripod and began recording. Just when we were done and I was about to grab the phone, Connor got down on his knee and asked me to marry him! He makes fun of me for this EVERY day, but I was wheezing because I was crying so hard! I'm so glad we have this great memory captured on video! We can't wait to start building our life together as husband and wife!</p>

Our Story

Photos

This is my GIRL. We grew up in church together and have been best friends ever since! We were also roomies our freshman year of college and it was the best time! She is my go-to girl for literally everything, especially wedding advice, and I couldn't do life without her! I was the maid of honor in her very dreamy wedding in January of 2020 and now it's her turn to stand next to me!!

Abigail Ballard

Connor's younger sister and my soon to be sister!!! Meadow and I are ALWAYS told how similar we are both in looks and personality so it's no surprise that we hit it off as soon as we met. It's such a joy to know her because she lights up any room she walks into! I can't wait to officially be sisters!

Meadow German

The other half of Syd^2! We met through mutual friends in college and then lived together for 2 years! We've been by each other's side through the good and the ugly and I can always count on her to pick me up! Sydnie is a recent nursing school grad and is absolutely KILLING IT on the Covid ICU floor. I'm so thankful for not only her hard work for her community, but also her unwavering friendship!

Sydnie Spraggins

Or as I call her, "KP" !!! She is my 'big' from our sorority, Kappa Delta! I have some of my best college memories with her! KP is definitely the fun big sister who will guarantee you have a great time, no matter what it is you're doing! :)You never know where she may be because she loves to travel and experience new things, but I can't wait to reunite with her for my big day! 

Kaitlyn Palmer

My girl!! We met through Abigail and we all lived together our freshman year of college! Keeley is the source of some of my biggest laughs and we always have a lot of fun together! Her laugh is so contagious and she is one of the most generous people I know! She is such a huge planner and texts me every day with new wedding ideas! She's my dedicated hype girl for all wedding events!

Keeley Crockett

What a queen!! Lindsey and I got off on the wrong foot when we first met (if ya know ya know) but now we are close friends and talk every day! Fun fact about her: she’s the BEST hairstylist ever and will be doing my hair for the big day! Aside from that, she is one of the most thoughtful and caring people you will ever meet! She’s quick to give advice and offer help when needed!

Lindsey Abbott

Ashley and I met through mutual friends years ago and we have talked almost every day since! She is the mom friend, but in the best kind way! She gives the most loving advice and reassurance but she also has a sassy side, just like me, that I love! We don't get to see each other often, so I am super excited to have her by my side soon! She is also a newlywed, AND expecting her first child! YAY!

Ashley Robertson

This cutie is my niece!! She's the sassiest little girl you’ll ever meet but will melt your heart. She’s had me wrapped around her finger since we found out about her!

Hannah Boswell

Emersyn is my cousin! She is so sweet and super talented. I remember holding her when she was just born, and I’ve enjoyed watching her grow into the little rockstar that she is now!

Emersyn Bayless

My boy!!! We’ve done a lot together, from a few late nights causing some trouble, to climbing waterfalls all the way in Oregon! I couldn’t have a better guy up there next to me on the most important day!

Cory Passmore

My little brother! Due to our small age gap, there’s no doubt we butted heads when we were younger, but we’ve grown to become really close friends over the past couple years . We may be complete opposites, but I’m excited for all the wedding celebrations with Jimmy by my side!

Jimmy German

David is my cousin but we have become close like brothers! We love to mountain bike and play video games together. I’m looking forward to celebrating with him!

David LaDart

Davis is a good friend and like a brother to me. We have so much in common and always have a good time and a bunch of laughs together! Excited to see this guy partying on the dance floor

Davis Vowell

My bride’s younger brother! We share a lot of similar interests so we clicked as soon as we met. I’m really looking forward to having him as my brother in law and getting to know him better as the years go on!

Matthew Graham

Sam and I have been friends for over 20 years now! We both are busy guys but he’s the kind of friend that I can just pick up with right where we left off. I’m excited to get together more often leading up to the big day!

Sam Farris

My nephew! He is super funny and adventurous and lights up every room! He’s also a brand new big brother!
