Mackenzie Stricklin

Maid of Honor

My sister is truly my bestfriend. Although we have had our times growing up fighting over clothes, or just the dumbest things thought of, she is the person I will continuously come to for anything. She will be the first one to be there for me. She is the most kindhearted, selfless person, and I would not even be able to thank her enough for all she has done for me throughout my 22 years of living. I am so incredibly blessed and fortunate to have a sister like Ali. She has been the best role model for me and now I get to see her live out her dreams. I could not be happier that she has found such an amazing man to spend the rest of her life with and now become apart of our family. I can not wait for all the memories to come and to stand right by her side.


Ted Gates

Best Man

Josh and I met in 7th grade at the Williams Middle School football locker room. We had English class together that year and Josh had me in tears laughing every day. Over the next couple of years, we developed a friendship that would last a lifetime. I respect Josh for his determination, work ethic, resilience and his loving heart. I’m honored to stand by Josh’s side while he ties the knot.

Carolyn Sherwin

Maid of Honor

Ali and I go way back. We have been through all of life’s highs and lows together. We have been through church confirmation, middle school English classes, college festivities, sororities, and currently adulthood. Not a day goes by where I don’t talk or send endless tiktoks and memes to her. We constantly talk about our future of being next door neighbors while watching our kids play and grow up together. I couldn’t be happier Josh gets to join in on all our adventures and dreams. Ali is so much more than a best friend. She is my sister, and I am honored to stand by her side as Maid of Honor on her special day.


Jacob Ham

Groomsman

I’ve known Josh since August 1994. I unfortunately had no choice in meeting him. You could say we’re pretty close since he’s my older brother and all. All jokes aside, Josh has been my partner in crime, mentor, and best friend. Congrats to him and Ali on their big day. I’ll be standing next to the guy who taught me everything I know about being a man…for better or for worse.

Madeline Stokes

Bridesmaid

I met Ali in 4th grade. From the moment I met her I knew she was a great friend. We continued going to school together and played on the same volleyball team throughout elementary school. We roomed together on choir trips, and made countless home videos in crazy makeup that I hope never see the light of day. Throughout high school, we were always together with our best friends, and I cherish all the memories we have made. Ali has always been a light in my life, someone I can come to when I need a good laugh, someone I can cry with, someone who’s shared all the ups and downs in my life. I’m so proud to know her and be her friend. I admire the woman she has become and know she will live a life full of happiness in choosing to spend the rest of her life with Josh.


Jason Ham

Groomsman

I’ve known Josh a really long time. I met him back in 1997 on the day I was born. He’s an older brother that I have grown to admire, and I know I can always count on him. Josh is someone I’ll always look up to. I am honored to stand beside Josh on the day he gets married and for many days to come.

Kennedy Tasset

Bridesmaid

I met Ali in 8th grade. We played on the same club volleyball team. From the moment I met her I knew she was going to be one of my best friends. Throughout all of high school, we made countless memories from fish camp to prom. We have continued making memories + I’m so thankful she has been apart of every season with me so far. One of the things I love most about Ali is her laugh. It is so contagious she can light up any room. Our friendship is the type that needs no effort. We instantly reconnect every time we see each other no matter the amount of time in between. I am so thankful for her friendship + to be able to stand next to her on their big day!


Key Stricklin

Groomsman

So excited to finally be adding a brother to the family! More importantly though, I couldn’t be happier that my sister gets to marry such an amazing man. Josh is going to make a fantastic husband and I’m extremely grateful Ali has him in her life.

Madison Thomas

Bridesmaid

Ali and I began to hang around the same crowd in high school and from the very start, we became close friends. When I think of memories with Ali I think of countless sleepovers, singing and dancing competitions, dying our hair with koolaid in the kitchen and many many country concerts. Ali is literally the funniest person I know, her smile will brighten any room, and her laugh is infectious. She has been a loyal friend to me throughout our friendship and I know I can always count on her to have my back. Ali has met her match with Josh. He is kind, patient, and loyal. I am so honored to be apart of their special day, and I am so excited for their future as Mr. and Mrs. Ham.

I met Josh on the Dallas Fire Department. The first things I asked Josh was where he was from. He told me he was from Rockwall and came to us from 43’s. I said to myself I like this guy. He’s from Texas so he’s a local boy and he’s worked at a busy fire station so he gets “it”. I knew he wasn’t afraid to be busy and likes to have fun. We were on the ambulance together and I just kinda observed him and didn’t say much. From his first run and patient encounter I knew this guy was good. So as the shifts went on and he began to grow as a new Paramedic our conversations shifted from fire station and EMS talk to talking about life. He told me all about Ali, his family and we talked about my family and kids. We got to know each other very well and became close friends. Josh is someone I can call on my days off and laugh about anything with. We have very similar personalities and Josh will do anything for anyone he knows. The best times are some of the things he says at the dinner table that I just look at him and say “what were you thinking when you said that” and he gives you the famous Josh Ham open mouth stare that we all laugh about. Josh is the guy that I want to work beside the rest of my career. We’ve had so many conversations about “adulting”. We have had thousands of laughs, crazy runs, and sleepless nights. Josh is one of the most genuine guys I know and I’m proud to call him a close friend and brother. I can’t wait to celebrate Ali and Josh’s special day!

Rachel Turner

Bridesmaid

I’ve known Ali since high school and we have been through so much together! I love her enthusiastic personality and infectious laugh. My husband and I introduced Ali and Josh, and I am so glad we did!! We love you both so much and can’t wait to celebrate one of my closest friends on y’all’s big day. Love you Al!


Chaz Ponder

Groomsman

I met Josh on Dallas Fire Department, he was a swing rookie assigned to our battalion and we would see him from time to time. Eventually he ended up getting assigned to my station when a vacancy opened up and the shenanigans soon ensued. We became pretty close over the couple years he was with us and I learned Josh aka “Hambone” is the kind of guy who will do anything for you and truly one of the most genuine guys I know. He’ll help out with whatever task is at hand then minutes later he’ll let you run a leaf blower on full blast across his face just so you could video it in slow motion and watch it 100 times, laughing until you cried, every time. I’ve had a lot of good times, sleepless nights, and back porch talks with Josh and I will remember those for years to come.

For all the days along the way
