Best Man
I met Cayden playing baseball together in little league, and we have been best friends ever since. Through all of the years playing football, baseball, and basketball together, we were practically inseparable. My favorite memory is the late nights playing video games together at his dad’s house in Brodhead when we were kids.

Mari-Lou and I met attending church with our grandparents at First Presbyterian in Richmond, KY and formed a bond in our tee-ball days (ML's tee-ball days didn't last very long). We reconnected in middle school, but didn’t form our bond until high school. It was an immediate connection that has felt like family from day one. ML isn’t a friend to me, she is a sister. One of my favorite memories of us is spending weeks on end with one another to the point people began to think we were sisters. Our friendship means more than words could say. Mari-Lou is my ride or die, my soul sister, and my go-to girl for all things advice and fun. I cannot wait to stand beside her on her big day.

I first met Cayden in middle school at Caudill. We quickly became friends and rekindled our friendship a few years later. Most of my favorite memories include Cayden and Mari-Lou constantly being up for all of the adventures with my wife and I. If I had to pick a favorite memory, I would have to say the trip we took to Tennessee a couple years ago. Cayden and Mari-Lou are special people, and I’m so grateful to be a part of their big day!

Mari-Lou and I met through mutual friends in middle school! After that, we were friends all throughout high school! My fav memory of us is screaming our heads off at basketball games together!! We’ve shared trips, sleepovers, and many many laughs together! There’s never a dull moment with ML and I’m so thankful to know her!

I met Shaver in 2020 at Murray State. We played baseball there with each other for three years. I have a ton of memories with Shaver and Mari-Lou. They are awesome, funny people who are always a joy to be around. I can't wait to be a part of their special day!

Bridesmaid
Mari-Lou and I met at Murray State on bid day when I got a bid from KD. One of my favorite memories with ML was when we went to Birmingham AL to watch baseball and went shopping. My friendship with ML means everything to me. She has been my home away from home ever since I met her. She always has a solution for every problem I have and she supports me 100%. She’s my family and I appreciate her more than she knows.

I met Cayden when we were about 6 years old in Brodhead, Kentucky. We were on the same team during our first year of coach pitch (Go Braves). As we were both only children who loved baseball more than anything else, we became instant brothers. We both moved around more than most growing up, but our paths always ended up crossing. We got a lot closer when we became neighbors in 6th grade. Of all of our memories I can remember, the days of debating the rules of the new game we just made on the trampoline and staying up all night playing call of duty, is the time I wish I could relive the most.

Bridesmaid
Mari-Lou and I first met when we were in the same gamma chi group together at Murray State. As crazy as that recruitment was, we both found ourselves at Kappa Delta’s bid day at the end of that week. From serving on council together to watching Yellowstone on her couch every night, I’ve become besties with her and Cayden ever since!

Shaver and I met in 2021 at Murray State, but I don't think we became good friends until our last year at Murray. Cayden and I had lockers right next to each other, and my favorite memories always included the before practice or late night ping pong games in the locker room.

Cayden & my boyfriend, JD (Cayden’s best man) have been best friends their entire lives which allowed me to meet Mari-Lou. Mari-Lou and I instantly became the best of friends. I’m forever grateful to call Cayden & Mari-Lou two of my best friends.

Groomsman
Cayden and I have been friends for only about five years now, but I feel like I've known Cayden my whole life. We met for the first time at Murray State as we both came there to play baseball, and the first time we met, we instantly became best friends. One of my favorite memories I have with Cayden was moving the entire dorm room around so we could play indoor ping pong. I love Cayden and Mari-Lou more than life itself. They have been amazing friends from start to finish, and I know if I ever need anything, I can count on them! I can't wait to celebrate their big day!

Mari-Lou and I became friends through Kappa Delta and were roommates at Murray State!! I wouldn't trade our friendship and memories for the world!
Austin Mott
Groomsman
Cayden is my best friend. We became friends pretty quickly when he transferred to Danville High School. One of the best memories I have with Cayden is the bond that we built during our time at Danville and the time we were able to share with his dad, Jeff. I consider Cayden as more of a brother than a friend. I am so grateful to be a part of Cayden and Mari-Lou's big day!

Bridesmaid
I’m blessed to have known ML since we were kids! Our mommas are besties and so it was a given we’d be close as well! I would definitely say my favorite memory was when Jimmye-Ann, Mari-Lou, and I went to our first concert together to see Taylor Swift! I’ve been blessed to see her grow into the woman she is today and I’m beyond eager to see her flourish in this new stage of her life!
Hunter Baxter
Groomsman
I have been best friends with Cayden since my freshman year of high school (2017). When Cayden moved to Danville, I knew my position at catcher was going to be taken, but what I didn’t realize was it would bring me one of the realest friends anyone could ask for. Out of the countless memories on and off the field, I would have to say the ones I remember the most are the days we would hang out and play video games at Jeff's old apartment in Danville. I love Cayden and Mari-Lou, and I can't wait to be a part of their special day!

I love to play ball with my Poppa and snuggle with my Momma! They’re my favorite humans!
