Wedding Party
Tyler Powell
Maid of Honor
Tyler and I met while working as baristas at Red Bicycle Coffee Co., and we have since become the closest of friends! We enjoy crafting, thrifting, and watching weird movies together. Tyler always has my back, and I trust that she would beat many people up for me if she ever needed to. She celebrates me so thoroughly, and I knew she would make the best Maid of Honor.
Tremaine McKinley
Best Man
While I first got to know Tremaine after I was assigned to be his big brother in our fraternity, I've been the one looking up to him countless times over our decade-plus friendship. Through Goodie Mob concerts, summers working at SeaWorld, watching him become a father, and everything in between, Tremaine is one of the most loyal and dependable people I know (in addition to being incredibly sharp and witty), and I’m blessed to be able to call him my friend, brother, and Best Man.
Annie Howard
Bridesmaid
Annie and I also met while working as baristas at Red Bicycle. When I first met her, I thought she was way too cool for me, and I still think that I was right in that assumption. Since then, I've learned that she is down to earth, intelligent, and deeply loving, and she is always one of the best people to talk through my feelings and ideas with. I am honored to be included as one of her bridesmaids in her wedding this April!
Spencer Turney
Groomsman
Spencer and I first met each other working on the University of Memphis' student record label together but didn't realize how many other interests we had in common until after we each moved to Nashville and reconnected. Since then, Spence has become one of my closest friends, and even though we don't live in the same city anymore (if Emmy and I ever move to Chicago, blame him), we still find ways to cheer each other on from afar via cooking project photos and 30 Rock quotes in between our food or concert-centric boys' trips.
Kylie Taylor
Bridesmaid
Guess where I met Kylie!... We were working as baristas at Red Bicycle! Kylie was instantly someone I wanted to be more like, and I am so grateful to have her as a best friend. She always asks the best questions to get to the heart of every matter, and she is wise beyond her years. She is insanely creative and talented, and we have fun doing pretty much anything (or nothing).
Andrew Yontz
Groomsman
Andrew’s one of the most thoughtful and creative people I know, and his perspective and curiosity towards the world is something that never ceases to challenge my perception and understanding of things in the best way possible. He’s an incredibly dedicated and encouraging friend (not to mention super stylish), and I’m thankful to have him as my groomsman.
Bekah Hubbell
Bridesmaid
I have to thank Red Bicycle for giving me one thing: all of my closest friends. Bekah and I didn't work together for very long before she moved on to do much cooler things as a writer in L.A. But every time I see her, it's like she never left. Bekah is insightful, genuine, and so funny. She has an ability to make everyone feel seen and important and celebrated, and I am so lucky to have her in my life.
Brian Litwin
Groomsman
What started as just networking drinks and nachos with someone I’d barely worked with has turned into a friendship that now includes almost weekly catch-ups over bagels and coffee. Brian is one of the most kind-hearted and supportive people you’ll ever meet and I’m super lucky to have him by my side.
Avery Pratho
Bridesmaid
Avery has been my best friend since birth. Well, kinda... We haven't always gotten along, but it has made for the most special relationship in adulthood. It's a relationship that we choose to have with each other, even though we live so far apart. Avery has always been my cool older sister that I look up to, and she remains that today. I know I can aways go to her for advice and a good laugh, and I'm consistently surprised by how much our dissimilar lives parallel.
Adam Myers
Groomsman
Even though he’s married to my sister now, I like to remind them both that I was there first. Since middle school, Adam and I have seen each other through all of our ups and downs over the years, and I’m so glad we get to be brothers for the rest of our lives.
Andie Stewart
Bridesmaid
Andie is my oldest sibling, and at nine years apart in age, we haven't always had the opportunity to be real friends. But she has always put in the effort. Andie has always supported me and led the way for me and Joel and Avery. I probably couldn't have done most of the things I have done in my life without her leadership. Today, I would claim her as a true friend, and I can always count on her for her honesty and wisdom.
Matt Uselton
Groomsman
Matt is the big brother I never had. We first met when he recruited me to join our fraternity in my freshman year of college and the brotherhood we share has only grown over the years. We don't get to see or talk to each other as much as we'd like, but whenever we are able to connect, it's like no time has past and we fall right back in rhythm of talking about our interests, goals, and dreams with each other.
Kiersten Pratho
Bridesmaid
Though we're not siblings by blood, I have never thought of Kiersten as anything less. Kiersten supports me, loves me, and fights for me, and she has ever since I was just her boyfriend's annoying little sister. She has always been one of the first people to pick me up when I fall, and I know that her home that she and my brother have created is always open and warm.
Ambrose Chisholm
Officiant
Ambrose and I technically met during a ministry-training program we both went through after college, but we didn’t really talk until I heard him quote the show Scrubs and realized I was the JD to his Turk (IYKYK). Fast forward over 10 years since, and he’s still one of my closest friends who I can always be myself with.
