Wedding Party
Sarah Liuzza
Maid of Honor
The Sarah's as they affectionally refer to themselves met at LSU when they were in Pi Phi together. Dark Sarah (Sarah Liuzza) and Light Sarah (Sarah Odom soon to be McGee) hit it off immediately! The bond between the Sarah's is so strong they even get to be brides together as they were engaged exactly one month apart which is very fitting. Sarah has been such a bright light to everyone she meets and will make sure everyone around her on the wedding day is constantly smiling and laughing. We are so honored that Sarah is a part of our day and she will always be light Sarah’s first soulmate!
Tanner McGee
Best Man
T.J.'s not-so-little brother is not only his sibling, but his best friend since 1999. It was the most difficult for T.J. To write this bio as there’s not quite enough words to properly describe Tanner and how much he means to not just T.J. but also to Sarah. He was even present for T.J. And Sarah’s first meeting and can attest to Sarah’s terrible driving.
Taylor Tinsley
Maid of Honor
Sarah and Taylor met at LSU when they shared a kinesiology class together. Taylor brought Sarah a cake pop one time when they were studying and Sarah knew then that they would be friends forever. Taylor has been an incredible friend and constant source of laughter through their years of friendship from sneaking sandwiches in her purse at the golden nugget to disco dancing to ABBA in Chicago. Taylor is going to make sure this wedding is an unforgettable party!
Riley Gallaher
Groomsman
Affectionately know as El Presidente. Riley introduced the bride and groom in 2018 and can be credited for making the big day happen. While at Campbell together T.J. and Riley were both responsible for making the most memorable parties on a dry campus anyone had ever seen. Riley is a childhood friend of the bride and a roommate, teammate, and fraternity brother of the groom.
Blakeley Bond
Bridesmaid
Blakeley could have gotten a picture with Sarah but then that would leave out Sarah's nephdog Krewe and he's way cuter. Blakeley and Sarah's families have a special bond as they have been friends for a while but when Sarah was at LSU and spent time at her "Baton Rouge" parents house (Blakeleys Dad and Stepmom) they became even closer. Blakeley moving to New Orleans sealed the deal that they would be constant friends. They have been able to do adventures at the beach and dog play dates at home. Sarah is so excited to have Blakeley as a part of her wedding!
Michael Jorgenson
Groomsman
Football locker neighbors for four years, Michael and T.J. met on Michael's football visit to the spring game in 2012. These two became instant friends and could be called the "great value" Dukes of Hazard after T.J. smuggled Michael across state lines with an expired driver's license. Michael and T.J. were not only teammates but also were roommates and fraternity brothers.
Tori Wells
Bridesmaid
Tori and Sarah have known each other since high school however, they became friends when both of these NC transplants were at LSU. Tori had an apartment off-campus Sarah's freshman year and Sarah would frequently come over to hang out and use her toaster to eat and entire box of eggos. Tori has remained a close friend ever since showing Sarah the ropes at LSU. She is always the life of the party and will make sure the wedding is the most fun anyone ever had!
Kevin Collins
Groomsman
The one, the only, the original. Kevin and T.J. met on their football visit to Campbell and found out after committing that they would be roommates freshman year. After an eventful orientation weekend at Campbell these two cemented a lifelong friendship. Sophomore year, Kevin introduced T.J. to Riley, who introduced T.J. to the bride so Kevin can also be credited for making this special day happen. Kevin and T.J. were roommates, teammates, and 2011 champions of the N.C. State Fair Turkey shoot.
Lauren Langlois
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Sarah met in college when working at the same dental office (shoutout to PDS). They began their friendship with frequent lunch dates and car rides. Lauren quickly became one of Sarah's closest friends and they both ended up in New Orleans after college where they continued to have adventures. She has always been Sarah's go-to hype woman and dance partner so she will be sure to have the best moves at the wedding.
Luke Sirgo
Groomsman
Luke and T.J. met at a college football camp while both still in high school but didn't reconnect until showing up on campus at Campbell University. During their redshirt year these two were 1st Team Scout-Team All-Americans responsible for the defense having to do almost 1,000 up-downs. In addition to being teammates Luke and T.J. were also roommates.
Brooke Kirchofer
Officiant
Brooke met Sarah and T.J. in Baton Rouge when she was living at the same apartment as T.J. Technically they owe their friendship to Sarah and T.J.'s first born (their dog Joey) who insisted he had to be pet by Brooke while on a walk with Sarah. From that point on Brooke began one of both Sarah and T.J.'s closest friends (and Joey's girlfriend). They are so honored that Brooke has agreed to be such a big part of their special day.
Joey and Moose
Dogs of Honor
The he best boys will not be in attendance but will still be the stars of the show! So we of course had to have them in here!
