Reception

Our Wedding

Like most people, Taylor and Joey met through mutual friends at a tailgate before the Tennessee vs.&nbsp;App ST game in 2016. Hold up, only kidding, Joey and Taylor met through a dating app called Tinder. Taylor and Joey began conversing back and forth for a few months before meeting. She had to verify and do some background checks to make sure he wasn't a "Catfish". Taylor resides in Johnson City and Joey, Sevierville. Their first date was at Gondolier Italian Restaurant in Greenville, TN. After having a excellent first date, Joey rushed home because Chase Houston, the Best Man, was coming to visit from Charlotte, NC that night. On Joey's way home from Greenville,&nbsp;he&nbsp;made a phone call to Chase and told him he would marry Taylor one day.&nbsp; Of course, Chase knowing Joey, laughed about it and didn't take it seriously.&nbsp;

Joey and Taylor began dating shortly after and enjoyed tons of adventures together.&nbsp; Trips to Florida, visiting Charleston, visiting Joey's hometown in Michigan, hiking in the Tennessee mountains, football games, and so much more.&nbsp; Throughout their journey&nbsp;together, they not only grew more in love with each other, but also grew in their love of Christ.&nbsp; It was clear that the Lord had make them for each other.&nbsp;&nbsp;

























On November 5th, 2017, Joey and Taylor went to his parents' house to go visit their dogs.&nbsp; Joey had told Taylor earlier that week that he got her a new candle that smells like the outdoors (so that he&nbsp;wouldn't have to go on a hike in the real outdoors). Taylor saw the candle in the kitchen and asked if she could smell it. Upon opening it, Taylor&nbsp;discovered a ring inside and Joey got down on one knee and asked Taylor to marry him. She said YES! After the proposal, Joey prayed over them, asking the Lord to bless their marriage and thanking Him for all His blessings and most of all, giving them each other.&nbsp; After all the excitement,&nbsp;they went to celebrate at Fox & Hounds, their favorite restaurant!&nbsp;The next date has been set for 08.18.18, and #ohmanitsforever.

How I Know Ohman: Where do I begin...The Ohman family moved into the neighborhood where I grew up when I was younger. My senior year, I took Joey under my wing at Sevier County High School and drove him to school. Fast forward, only to protect me and Joey's&nbsp;innocence, he introduced my wife to me over 6 years ago and I can't thank him enough. He reminds us every day that he hooked us up. So, in short, Joey and I have known each other for a very long time and I am honored to call him one of my dearest friends.

She is an amazing person and I am beyond excited to be a part of her special day for her to marry the love of her life. ❤️

Amber Starnes

Currently live in Charlotte, NC.&nbsp; Joey and I are actually recent best buds. We met through a mutual friend and groomsman, Chase Houston. A highlighting moment in Joey and I’s relationship was last year when his smooth talking convinced me it was a great investment to impulsively buy a motorcycle, I guess using the same logic that ended him up with two jet skis. Well, it worked. From that point, there have been lots of laughs, often at each other’s expense. I am extremely happy for this marriage and honored to be a part of Joey and Taylor’s special day.

Matt Sirmans

My name is Joey Shipley.&nbsp;&nbsp;I met Joey when Taylor bought him to dinner. I knew he would fit&nbsp;in with our family right away. He's a good man and will be a good husband to Taylor.

They married and it has been a pleasure watching Taylor grow up to the be the woman she is today.&nbsp; I blessed to have her as my step-sister.&nbsp;

Joey Shipley

My name is Kaylan Staton. Taylor has been a dear friend for several years now and found a special place in my life. We prayed and prayed God would send her a God loving man, and here we are. I couldn't be happier for her and Joey.&nbsp; As for me, I am a Sexual Assault Victim Advocate and spend most of my time on the job or in the mountains. I'm a free spirit and Jesus is my reason for living! So excited to be a part of this special day.&nbsp;

Being like minded on most topics and hobbies, we became almost like brothers. Through high school, college, and fast forwarding to now, we have maintained a great friendship for nearly 15 years. During this time we have had a lot of memorable experiences&nbsp; that we will both sit back and laugh about one day.

Alex Wallis
