Wedding Party
Lauren Smith
Maid of Honor
I couldn’t love two people more than Megan and MJ. I have loved watching y ’all’s young, awkward love flourish into the beautiful couple y’all are today. MJ is the perfect man for Megan, and the missing piece our family needed. Our family humor average definitely is going up with you, MJ! I remember the first time MJ came to the beach with our family, he pranked me all week. Every time we left the house, a cat meowed. Come to find out, MJ has a talent for impersonating a cats meow! Between MJ’s goofiness and Megan’s sarcasm, I'm always in for a laugh. I love you both so much and I can’t wait to continue being there and watch y'all's next chapter in life!

Little did I know when I met Megan my freshman year at UGA, it would be the start of a lifelong friendship. Megan always knows exactly what she wants, and I am so glad that is MJ. His outgoing and crazy personality is the perfect balance to her loving, caring, and orderly qualities. I have loved watching them grow up together and excited for their next chapter!

I love Megan and MJ because they quite literally are the most fun couple to be around. MJ can make anyone laugh about literally anything & Meg makes anyone and everyone feel heard. My favorite memories with Megan are all the special things we got to do while living together. One specifically is staying up alllll night to learn and make a tik tok...that 8 count will always be instilled in my brain. Big summer blow out would not be what it was without MJ, and I cherish all of the memories made there.

Megan was my partner in crime throughout high school. Then, Megan and MJ started dating and we all became good friends. Friday night football games and after the games are my fondest memories with the bride and groom!

Some of my favorite high school memories were spent with Megan and I having way too much fun as 15 & 16 year olds and cheering on MJ from the Lakeside side lines (even when Megan didn’t want to admit that’s who she was watching at times). I could not be more excited to stand by their sides on this special day!

Megan and MJ are made for each other! They are each other's biggest cheerleaders, and their love is so unique and special. You can feel their love and care anytime you are around them or anytime they talk about each other. I have had the privilege of living with Megan for 2/5 of our college years, and seeing them interact with each other made me love them more. I have many many memories with Megan and MJ, but one of my favorite memories with them would be Halloween weekend of 2021. MJ drove up to Athens on a Friday night, and we started to put up our Christmas decorations (early I know), so the 3 of us decorated our tree. Megan also made all 3 of us dinner, and it was amazing! The next day we drove up to Emily’s for Emily’s Halloween/Birthday party, and the good times kept rolling! One of the funniest moments of the night was when I filmed a Tik Tok of Megan and MJ chasing each other in the woods because she was a cop and he was the robber. I am so excited to get these two married, they really are made for each other!

My favorite memories of Meg and MJ were at the beginning of their relationship! It was also super sweet to tag along on dates and be there from the beginning of their relationship and to see where you two are now. Whether we were going to the movies, hanging out after football games, or going to our favorite Mexican restaurant, we always had the best time with so many memories to look back on.

Getting to experience the way MJ and Megan have loved and continue to love each other the last 6 years has been the best. They are both kind, accepting, and always down to have a good time. My favorite memories will always be being able to join them for church on Sundays. It is such a sweet experience, and I always feel so invited into their relationship as their friend. It is never a dull moment with two of the most fun and loving people I know!!!

In high school, MJ and I took sibling pictures for the yearbook. They tried to tell us we weren’t real siblings, and we told em our brotherhood runs true. Made the yearbook. Can’t wait to get you two married!

I’ll never forget the first time I met Megan and she spilt a drink all over my shoes. Her friendship with Mary Kate is how I met MJ, and we have been good friends since. Glad I get to stand by his side on their wedding day!

It’s an honor to stand by MJ, who I consider one of my brothers, on his big day. I’ve witnessed MJ and Megan’s relationship develop over the years, and am excited to see and be a part of the next big step!

You know it's a good friendship when you can't count on one hand all the stories you want to tell. From hanging out on grandmas back porch to Big Summer Blowouts, MJ has been one of my best friends since high school. The man knows how to bring the heat and have a good time. Megan's cool too, but for real, Megan brings so much happiness and love to MJ's life everyday. Love you both!

From our early days of playing baseball and attending the same elementary school, it was clear that MJ possesses a special ability to bring joy to everyone around him. Not only is he a natural athlete, but his infectious positivity and genuine care for others are truly remarkable. Throughout our journey together in high school and college, we encountered countless memorable moments, including some entertaining drinking stories. Yet, what always shines through is MJ's undeniable knack for making everyone feel loved and appreciated. Cheers to you, MJ, for being the compassionate and joyful friend that you are. Your ability to spread happiness and bring people together is a true gift. Be blessed in marriage!

I don’t know what to say because an all-star couple like MJ and Megan tying the knot makes me go dumb. I love y’all so much. (,:

I’m most excited to spend this special day along Megan and MJ, they are a true testimony of love. My favorite moment with this lovely couple has been watching everyone enjoy the annual big summer blowout and letting their “hair”down. I’m thankful MJ and Megan allowed me to be a part of this special day. This couple deserves everything, Congrats!

The best part about being friends with MJ and Megan is the nonstop enjoyment, excitement and happiness they bring to every occasion. There is never a dull moment with you two! You’ve welcomed me into your Augusta family from yearly camping trips to offering their place as a place to rest my head when stopping through the Sta. I’m very excited for this wedding because we get to cherish the memories of the past, present, and future ones to come!
