Wedding Party
Rachel Smith
Matron of Honor
Rachel and I met our freshmen year of college through a roommate matching app at South. Within minutes of move in day, we were best friends. She is my snow cone addict, sunset picnic date, workout partner, and the sister I never had. Rachel has held my hand through the best and worst times of my life, never letting me forget she was right there with me all the while. I get to stand beside Rachel as she marries the love of her life in 2024, and I cannot wait to have her stand beside me as I marry mine.
Nerizza West
Matron of Honor
Nerizza and I met at the very end of our freshmen year of college watching an intramural volleyball game. It took a little bit to get her out of her shell, but she quickly became my soul sister. Nerizza is the only person who can get me to agree to a 5AM sunrise beach date and who will ALWAYS be down for a horror movie marathon with me. Anytime we see each other, it’s as if no time has passed - even if it’s been 3 months and we only live 3 minutes from each other. I was lucky enough to stand beside Nerizza as she married her love in 2022, now it is her turn to stand by me!
Heather Askew
Maid of Honor
Heather and I met back in 2019 and quickly became inseparable. Heather is one of the most genuine souls with the kindest heart I have ever known. She is also the best person to call if you ever need a girls' night out. Heather is my other half, the one who will bail me out of any situation with no questions, and one of my biggest supporters. We got to experience some of the biggest milestones of our lives together and I could not imagine not having her with me during this one.
Sarah Bryant
Bridesmaid
Sarah is my childhood best friend. We met the year she moved to Homewood through our middle school softball team and quickly became sisters. If you saw one of us, the other was right there too. Sarah and I even lived together during college her freshmen year where she earned the nickname "Scorpion" and UV Blue was officially retired from our dorm. Sarah is my little sister, my best friend, and the person who got me through high school. I could not have made it through the last decade of my life without her and I cannot wait to take on this next chapter with her right by my side.
Sydney McDonald
Bridesmaid
Sydney and I met through Rachel our freshmen year. We three lived together for two years and to this day we still reminisce on our little apartment where we were all of 10 feet away from each other and not thousands of miles. We lived through COVID together, became Jeopardy masters, and definitely did not become TikTok famous with our superb dancing skills. Sydney is the most down to earth person I have ever known and is one of my absolute best friends. I am beyond grateful to have her standing by my side during this next chapter!
Greg Roebuck
Best Man
Greg is Eli's dad and best man! Wherever Greg is, you can bet that Eli is close by! Eli will jump at any chance to help his dad with any fix, home project, or impulsive purchase (two peas in a pod)! Some of Eli's favorite memories with his dad revolve around the hunting camp and their tradition of stopping for chicken livers every trip up. Greg has welcomed me into the family from day one and has helped keep Eli in check for me every step of the way, too, lol! I am so grateful that Eli has had such an amazing man to look up to growing up and even more blessed to be able to call him my father-in-law!
Brent Smith
Groomsman
Brent is Rachel's husband and one of Eli's closest friends! Rachel and I tried scheming to get Eli and Brent to be friends because we figured the more time we made the boys hang out, the more we would get to see each other... little did we know that we would become the third wheels to their bromance. Every Friday-Sunday, you best believe the guys have their fishing dates planned more than 2 weeks in advance. In all reality, Brent has been like an older brother to me for the last 5 years and we are so excited to have him stand by our side!
Andrew Sullivan
Groomsman
Andrew is one of Eli’s older brothers! The entire family warned me about Andrew before meeting him, apparently he likes to try and get under people’s skin (who knew!). Little did he know, I grew up as the only girl with 5 brothers, so I just hit him back with it. Now he’s just a big softy towards me! One of Eli’s favorite memories with Andrew shows that soft side, too! When Eli was a kid and got sick one day, Andrew stayed home and made him some soup. But not just any soup. A mixing bowl worth and what seemed like 10 grilled cheeses to Eli!
Garret Roebuck
Groomsman
Garret is Eli’s oldest brother! Eli’s favorite memory of Garret is when he had a gaming system hooked up to his Tacoma in high school. I guess I can give props to him for creating Eli’s gaming habit! Where I am glad to have just one Alabama fan in the family I am gaining, Eli’s heart was shattered! He cried when Garret was headed to UA and claims it was because he didn’t want him to leave for college (I think he was sad it just wasn’t LSU).
Anderson Sullivan
Groomsman
Anderson is one of our nephews and one of Eli's groomsman! Anderson is one of the sweetest, funniest kids we have ever met and lucky for us he is part of our family! He is one of Ashley's gaming buddies and does the best cover of Firework by Katy Perry we've ever heard! Find him on the dance floor when this one comes on - he won't disappoint!
Hadley Sullivan
Flower Girl
Hadley is one of our nieces and our flower girl! Hadley is both the sweetest and sassiest girl we know! She keeps us on our toes, lets us know who the real boss is, and gives the best hugs ever! If you see a little girl running around on our wedding day telling you where to be or how it is, you've meet our princess herself!
