Caroline Stewart & Madison “Pig” Rieke
Wedding Party
Miranda "Panda" Register
Maid of Honor
Montgomery, AL--> Auburn AL --> Monterey, CA Panda is my high-school best-friend and freshman/senior year of college roommate! She has been there for so many of my important, and "not so important" life moments that I truly cannot imagine life without her. If you need someone to teach you how to get down on the dance floor, she's your girl,.....or to do something "off-the-wall" at the bachelorette soiree,....SAME,....or then again, at the wedding itself, shes' your GO_TO_GAL!! .
Ciara Perkins
Matron of Honor
Montgomery, AL---> FL---> MS---> Birmingham, AL Ciara Grace was my 9th grade bestie, and has been my best long distance friendship ever since. She loves people/advocates for them, and is genuinely the most loyal and caring friend. If there is wedding crisis, Ciara will be my go-to-gal as this "boss babe" is working in the surgical ICU at UAB, and is starting her DnP/Doctorate of Nursing at UAB.
Lesli Harmon
Bridesmaid
Talladega, AL --> Auburn, AL--> Birmingham, AL Lesli and I bonded the summer after our freshman year over night-time conversation and much laughter! We had a slumber party the night before a fraternity lake party, and that is when we quickly became friends! If you haven't heard Lesli's laughter you are MISSING OUT. Her genuine love for me has been something that has gotten me through some harder, anxious days. Lesli is one of the most sincere, compassionate, and loyal friend I have, and I am so thankful to God for her.
Brooke Searcy
Bridesmaid
Dothan, AL--> Auburn, AL--> Birmingham, AL Brooke and I met before our freshman year, but really became friends when we were recruitment counselors our Junior year at Auburn. Laughter is primary to our friendship,...as are margaritas! Senior year I realized I have never met anyone I have more in common with & that has been so special. Brooke brings out the best in me and I cannot imagine a world without her.
Cameron Stewart
Bridesmaid
Montgomery, AL--> Montevallo, AL--> Birmingham, AL Cameron and my friendship began on a summer day when we were 9-years-old, with a pool party followed by the Garfield movie. We have many memories over the years,... rolling boy's houses as middle-schoolers, spending countless hours on bus rides across the country, and really sharing most things (neighborhood, school, carpool, and church)!! Cameron is truly the most creative and sarcastic/hilarious human being I know. I am thankful to have had her as my life-long friend, as it wouldn't have been nearly as interesting without her!
Emily Spain
Bridesmaid
Pelham, Al--> AU, AL Emily and I were in class together in our undergraduate program of 25 girls. We bonded at a "Summer Cru" meeting (Campus Crusade)... and then Emily even enjoyed traveling to the beach with my entire extended family!! That confirmed her as the truest of friends!! Emily is the most loyal, honest, and loving friend. We spent almost every day together our senior year of college and I MISS it so much it hurts.
Anna McCleskey
Bridesmaid
Houston, TX--> Auburn, AL, --> Atlanta, GA Anna and I met in Lubin, Haiti as we did mission work through Campus Crusade and Filter of Hope our sophomore year(Spring of 2016). Anna is one of the warmest and most welcoming human beings I have had the privilege of befriending. Her love of all things sweet is just reflective of who she is--the sweetest gal I know. I cannot wait to be in Atlanta, and this time share "married life" together!
Emily Ann Clemons
Bridesmaid
Huntsville, AL--> AU, AL --> New York, NY Emily Ann, "EA," and my friendship began in Lubin, Haiti in the Spring of 2016, similar to Anna McCleskey. Her fun self is loved by all, and I'm just thankful to have gotten to know her! EA is the most vivacious, life-loving friend. She has brought so much joy and fun into my life. Her honesty is incredible and encourages me to be the very same way. I miss our car rides around Auburn catching up on life.
Katherine Holliman
Bridesmaid
Tupelo, MS--> AU, AL Katherine and I met at an Auburn recruitment event in Spring 2016. I was on a panel that answered questions about the Auburn experience and Katherine stood out to me due to the fact that she was unafraid to ask us multiple questions consecutively. I called her up to the front afterwards and quickly tried to convince her to come to Auburn. Little did I know Katherine came to Auburn AND pledged Chi Omega with me, Chi O being the outlet to how we reconnected. Katherine and my friendship has been so wonderful these last 3 years. Katherine is the most generous, life-loving, silly friend and I don't know what I would do without her.
Emma Refeinberger
Bridesmaid
Atlanta, GA--> AU, AL--> Atlanta, GA Emma and my friendship was "set-up," by my mentor KK Payne my freshman year of college (Spring 2015). Emma and I immediately hit it off, as we were pledge sisters who didn't know each other yet! I then got the privilege of living with her our junior year, and needless to say, it was a blast. The Lord has gifted Emma in giving her a sincere hopefulness about life. Emma sees people's best qualities and enhances them.
Thomason Bryan
Bridesmaid
Montgomery, AL--> Birmingham, AL Thomason and I became fast friends in 7th grade, so in turn, we have the most awkward-looking stage of our lives documented through pictures together. Thomason has always, and will always bring out my silliness. She will also do everything in her willpower to remain loyal and faithful to me. I cannot imagine my life without her, and am so excited to have her beside me on May 16!
Madeleine Flemming
Bridesmaid
Montgomery, AL--> AU, AL--> Fairhope, AL Madeleine and I went to church together in Montgomery, and I distinctly remember our friendship beginning in middle school, at one of the many summer choir tours our church went on. Madeleine is the most positive person I have ever had the privilege of knowing, she's silly, and she's down to earth. A.K.A. she's the total package. I am so thankful to have had her be apart of my life for such a long time, and to have had her at Auburn with me.
Ashley Moates
Bridesmaid
Americus, GA--> AU, AL Ashley Moates and I have known "of each other" for a few years now, but became actual, real-life friends our senior year of college. Ashley has been my saving grace this year as we have endured the season of graduate school together. Ashley is the kindest, most encouraging, and genuine human beings I have had the upmost privilege to befriend. Ashley actually was there to capture our engagement and I cannot wait to have her be a part of our day!
Helen Rieke
Bridesmaid
Nashville, TN--> Fort Worth, TX Helen and I met soon after Pig and I started dating. I chatted with her most of the night that I was getting to know her family (side note: I have always wanted a younger sister so I immediately am drawn to most younger sisters in families). Helen is so smart and lively-she's currently in charge of an entire dormitory at TCU, so you KNOW she's incredibly patient as well. I really look forward to getting to know her even better, and am thrilled to be gaining a "younger sister." (:
