Wedding Party
Beth Nathan
Matron of Honor
I have known Beth for over a decade and we have become like sisters. Beth has three children, Vera, Ainsley and Jack, who I absolutely adore and see them as my little siblings. Her husband, Jay, is like having a bonus big brother. (It's a complicated family tree. Am I a sister or am I an aunt? Yes.) What started out as babysitting when I was 13, has turned into a bonus family. I cannot imagine what I'd do without her sisterly advice and the unconditional love I receive from her and her family. I can't wait to celebrate my big day with my big sister by my side.
Meredith Prohaska
Maid turned Matron of Honor
I met Meredith when we were both working at Chick Fil A while in High School and we became fast friends. Meredith has been my roommate for the past two years and one of my best friends for over ten. From countless puzzles, Disney Trips, game nights and even to planning our weddings together, I don't know how I'd get by without her. Meredith has always been able to make me laugh and knows what to say when I'm down. It was an honor to be apart of her special day in June and I cannot wait to have her as a part of mine. She truly is one of my best friends and I couldn't have this day without her by my side!
Megan Yaeger
Bridesmaid
Did the name throw you off? It usually does. Megan is my sister-in-law and she got to see me in all my awkward middle school glory. Megan and I met in Middle School and got even closer when she started dating my brother, Jordan. Over the years we have been able to confide in one another and celebrate each other's lives and accomplishments. From school friends, to sisters, to sharing a name, I wouldn't have it any other way. Megan is one of the sweetest and most supportive people I know and I love having her during this process!
Morgan Ritter
Bridesmaid
Morgan is one of my oldest childhood friends and I could not imagine my big day without her! We met in the 6th grade and were the inseparable duo. If I wasn't at her house on the weekend, she was at mine. Family Vacations? You bet we went to each other's. From sixth grade, college, and weddings, to her having her first child, we always share our ups and downs with each other. We pick-up where we leave off every time we talk, like no time has passed at all. I can't wait to see how much further our friendship goes!
Maci Kerley
Bridesmaid
I have known Maci since we met in high school gym class, where we trauma bonded over running the mile every week, and then we worked together at Chick- Fil-A (along with Meredith). Maci, Meredith and I became the ultimate trio. There wasn't one unless there were three. Endless jokes, game nights, margaritas, and fun. This sweet friend has always been there for me through thick and thin and has helped pick me up at my worst and celebrated with me at my best. Even at my worst, she was always a voice of reason to help me find my way. As I find my way down the aisle, I couldn't get there without her.
Samantha Dupree
Bridesmaid
Sam and I met in high school while volunteering with LEARN Horse Rescue in Ravenel, SC. We instantly hit it off becoming quick friends. As the years went on, we continued to grow our friendship and saw each other almost every weekend. While in college, we became close friends and we helped each other through some of the hardest lessons we had to learn, both educationally and emotionally. Even now, while she is in Columbia serving with the Army, we still make time for and continue to support one another in everything we do. We still joke about how she was here first, but thankfully she gives Tyler a pass.
Alex Daley
Bridesmaid
Alex and I have known each other since 2014 when she came to drop her sister off at The Citadel. We became quick friends as we got to know each other better and eventually started spending pretty much every weekend together once she started attending The Citadel herself. We would study together, give each other advice, and laugh 24/7 together. Alex has quickly become a part of my family and found her way into several of my friend groups and I wouldn't have it any other way! We now both work at The Citadel together, getting lunch with each other frequently, and work part -time together at Hobby Lobby during the holiday season. I couldn't imagine my day without my fiery little red head of a friend
Hope Garris
Bridesmaid
I don't even know where to begin when talking about my sweet friend Hope. Hope and I went to High School together but didn't actually cross paths until we had a class together in college. I had just left Chick-Fil-A at the time and was looking for a new job. Hope had mentioned Hobby Lobby was hiring and helped get me a new job with them. We were desk mates in class and then co-workers at Hobby Lobby. We have been through a lot... and I mean A LOT together. Hope and I have always had each other's backs and best interests at heart. Hope has become one of my best friends and has always been there for me as a shoulder to cry on or even as my protector when I can't speak for myself. I cannot put into words how kind and selfless my sweet friend is. She has done and continues to do so much for Tyler and I. It's no question why I need her by my side on my big day!
Alisha Salmonsen
Bridesmaid
I met Alisha through Hope a few years ago. We immediately clicked and soon Hope, Alisha and I became a trio. Alisha is one of the realest, kindest, and most hardworking people I know. We have gone on several trips together and have become incredibly close. We have helped each other through tough times but also celebrated each other and our successes. Her honesty and her humor have helped me out in more ways than one and now that she is in my life, I couldn't imagine it without her. She truly has become someone I can turn to when I need help and I can rely on her to be there for me. I need her by my side to make sure I have fun in the moment and keep my head on straight.
Mary Novak
Bridesmaid
Mary and I started working at Bank of America together on the same day during the pandemic. Let's just say we both leaned on each other HEAVILY in the work place to maintain our sanity. Our friendship started with a debate about whether cereal was a soup and it just grew from there. We went from relying on each other in the workplace to also relying on each other outside the work place in our personal lives. It soon became a ritual on pay days to get our nails done and then grab sushi and talk about our frustrations with work and life, but also share in the joys that were happening as well. We started with a funny debate in an unfamiliar environment and have ended up being super close friends who have gone on a week long trip to Disney together, have had endless days by the pool and Face-Times with our cats. Mary is a happy light in my life and I blame my ever growing love for the color pink on her.
Vera Nathan
Junior Bridesmaid
Vera is my fabulous little sister. She is talented, smart, funny, kind, and all around an amazing young lady. I have had the privilege of being able to watch her grow up into the young woman she is today. Vera and I have an unspoken language of just staring at each other and knowing exactly what the other is saying. We break out into laughter over the simplest things, leaving everyone else confused. We make the same weird faces, stances, and catch ourselves saying the same things at the same time scarily often. I always know I have a sister to go to when I'm down and I love being able to give advice, help with homework, and just be a supportive part of her life. I will never get tired of going to her musicals, band concerts, choir concerts, Beauty pageants, birthday parties, or anything else she decides to do. I can't imagine doing life without this girl and I can't imagine not having her by my side on my Wedding day.
Ainsley Nathan
Junior Bridesmaid
Ainsley, warmly referred to as Ainz, is my sweetheart of a sister. She is a gorgeous, smart, kind, caring, and all around a gentle soul. Ainz and I have a shared love for anything animal, crafts, and food! Ainsley has one of the warmest hearts and has a talent for making everyone feel welcomed and included. She gives the greatest hugs and I know I can just go into her room and sit on her floor and talk and she instantly makes me feel better. She is one of my absolute favorite humans and I love being able to be a part of her life. From driving her to cheer practice, to continuously starting crafts we know we won't finish, failing at growing bonsai trees, creating new games in the pool, jumping on trampolines and baking cakes.... LOTS of cakes.... I cannot express how happy I am to be able to have this sweet girl by my side.
Wyatt Herring
Best Man
Best man and one of my best friends. Wyatt and I grew up together in Mullins, and after college we became roommates living just outside of Charleston. After living in the bachelor pad together, we both started on new adventures leading to Wyatt moving to Alabama. Wyatt and I still find time to talk and catch up, sometimes for hours. He is soon to be married himself, and I can’t wait to have him be a part of our wedding.
Drake Page
Groomsman
Drake and I became friends in the 5th grade when we were assigned to sit beside each other. Our teacher definitely regretted putting us as partners but we have been best friends since. When we graduated high school, we stayed close friends and a turned into a pretty mean pool table duo.
Jordan Yaeger
Groomsman
Brother of the bride. What more can I say? Jordan is jack of all trades kinda guy. We both share many of the same interests. Fishing, hunting, surfing, DIY projects, you name it. I’m very blessed to have him as one of my groomsmen and a brother in law.
Fletcher Estes
Groomsman
The man, the myth, the uncle. Every weekend while I was growing up, I wanted to be down at the river at Fletcher’s house. He’s the one that taught me how to fish, drive a boat, and live off the land. Fletcher is an animal loving, give you the shirt off his back kinda guy, and I am super proud to have him as one of my groomsman.
Brian Lytton
Groomsman
Talk about someone who would give you the shirt off his back. Brian and Granny went to high school together and in 2019 they got married. I’ve been very blessed to have him as a part of my family, and a part of my wedding. He has been very good to Granny and myself and I couldn’t ask for anything more than that. I am honored to have him as part of my wedding party.
Jacob Anderson
Junior Groomsman
As soon as Jacob found out that Megan and I got engaged, the first thing he said was he was going to be in our wedding. Well, I couldn’t say no. Jacob is my younger cousin that I’ve been able to watch grow up to be the fine young man he is today. I’m very happy that he is a part of my life and a part of our wedding.
