Samantha & Zeb
Wedding Party
Jessica Cook
Maid of Honor
Jessica is Samantha's younger sister and is currently attending Mississippi State University. She loves books and music. The first concert the sisters ever went to together was at Country Thunder in WI: Maddie & Tae! For fun she is taking classes on floral design, so the beautiful flowers the day of the wedding will be done courtesy of Jessica!
Kenlee Davis
Flower Girl
Kenlee is the Cook family's neighbor and has known Samantha for a long time! The two of them love cats and jumping on Kenlee's trampoline together. They both learned to ski on the Davis family's boat. (Although Kenlee may be the better water skier now...)
Julie Drew
Bridesmaid
Julie Drew has known Samantha (called Sammers) since she was born! She is Samantha's godmother and confirmation sponsor, so it was obvious that she would be standing up with her on her wedding day. Julie is an animal whisperer and likely why Samantha loves animals so much.
Kendra Davis
Bridesmaid
Kendra has known Samantha since she was 10 years old. She is the life of the party and a great pontoon driver (on the Kendra-mobile). She poured Samantha her first drink - Sunny-D Fruit Punch and Malibu! Kendra named Kenlee's first cat Bob, so that she could say they had a bobcat.
Kate Newton
Bridesmaid
Samantha met Kate through her husband, Mark, back at the University of Alabama and had the wonderful pleasure to stand up in their wedding. One time in college the girls went to a pharmacy ball at Belmont. Samantha had to borrow a dress from Kate to wear, and when they went out afterwards, she was asked when her wedding was multiple times!! (Lesson: don't wear white in Nashville.) In addition to her fashionable wardrobe, Kate has a giant, fluffy great Pyrenees!
Rachel Stammen
Bridesmaid
Samantha and Rachel met over 2 years ago in Kingsport, TN. They love to hang out in the Tri-Cities, but also travel to Knoxville for Ice Bears games! This Georgia Tech graduate is brilliant and also the only one Samantha can trust for cake delivery on the morning of the wedding.
Michelle Koval
Bridesmaid
Michelle and Samantha are YMCA gym and salsa buddies. Buti Yoga and Cycling anybody? They love to watch Jane Austen movies and paint canvases (and one time a birdhouse??) together. They take every opportunity to dance and be goofy with each other, even if it's helping clean floors in Samantha's new house.
Tim Walker
Best Man
Tim is Zeb's father and king of jokes. He takes every opportunity to make people laugh and will definitely be wanting to meet you on the wedding day! Tim loves to grill out and watch Braves baseball with Zeb.
Nathan Cook
Groomsman
Nathan is Samantha's younger brother, and a graduate from Mississippi State University. Unlike the rest of the groomsmen party, he is a big Cardinals baseball fan. He recently had the opportunity to live out a childhood dream of watching a series on the green monster in Boston.
Will Morgan
Groomsman
Will has known Zeb since they were kids in Boaz, AL. Back in college, Samantha and Zeb brought Will to his first ever NHL game in St. Louis against a Canadian team. He had never seen so much flat farmland like southern IL.
Jacob Elrod
Groomsman
Elrod has known Zeb since they were in elementary school, and the two of them roomed together in college. He is the life of the party and loves shooting photography and hiking. His typical workday in Dallas includes flying drones!
Ryan McKenzie
Groomsman
Ryan met Zeb freshman year of college, and they've been friends ever since. He was one of the first friends that Zeb ever introduced Samantha to. Ryan also lives in Kingsport and often takes care of Gypsy and Bandit. One time in college, Ryan's cat Truman ate every piece of chicken off of Zeb's frozen pizza before he had a chance to put it in the oven!
Garrett Miller
Groomsman
Zeb met Garrett in college and were roommates as well. Garrett is a big fan of boardgames and introduced Zeb to his all-time-favorite game to this day: Azul. One time on a walk home down the Strip in Tuscaloosa, Garrett gave some girls finger-guns and no-one has let him live it down since.
