Sarah & Matthew
Wedding Party
Pauline Selle
Maid of Honor
Pauline is my person....sorry my sweet soon to be husband. Pauline and I have had a special bond since she moved to America from Norway our junior year of high school. She lived with one of my closest friends and bridesmaid and was only a few minutes away. I don’t think more than 2 days went by where I did not see for over 2 years. She has been a constant Godly voice in every area of my life and she has been my go to person for 5 years now. She is beyond wise for her years and has been to more places than the average person and I could not imagine my life without her. Our friendship has stayed true through my mom’s cancer and death, college years, broken hearts, long distance (like across the world), and so much more. There is no one else I would rather have at my side as I marry Matthew.
Lloyd Shockley
Best Man
Dad, I don,t even know where to start. I don't know where I would be without you. You have been the biggest blessing to me. You have taught me soo much about life, leading, work, and most importantly following Jesus. It has been a blessing to see you lead, work, and love our family the way you have. I never knew someone could love Clemson football more than me but you might have me beat! Thank you for loving me the way you do and being the man you are. Thank you for always being that bright light of hope for me through some dark times and my best friend throughout my life! Love you Dad
Toni Roller
Bridesmaid
Toni is one of a kind and what a friend she is! There is no other person who can make me laugh quite like this girl. You never know what will come out of her mouth or what strange thing she about to do but she has a heart of gold and is one of my truest friends. I met Toni in college when she moved in across the hall sophomore year. We took a trip to Charleston one weekend and the rest was history. From laughing till I cry, to strange dance moves, sleep overs in my little attic room junior year, to weekly walks around AU, to me standing by her side on her wedding day I could not have pictures college and now my life without this ball of joy. Toni brings life and laughter with her everywhere she goes. She has strong opinions but is loyal to the core. I’m glad she is by and on my side.
Daniel Eskew
Groomsman
Daniel, What can I say man! Your the only person I have been across the country with!!! You truly are a fun guy and the life of that road trip! It was such a blessing spending that week with you!! Fun fact: I introduced Daniel to the Chainsmokers that week, He returned the favor by introducing my first taste of Tequila!!! Good times!! On a serious note, I learned soo much about leadership, being a husband, and being a person who sees the positive in every season of life from you!! You have such a big heart and it is always fun when we get to connect and hang out!! Daniel is the type of guy who would give you the shirt off his back, but rip yours in a competition.... Thank you for who you are !! Love you brotha !!!
Olivia Ingram
Bridesmaid
Olivia gives the best advice. From a roommate mix up we ended up living together our sophomore year of college by the grace of God and I will forever be grateful. She has the kindest spirit and I do not know if a person who is more thoughtful of a friend than her. She is incredibly wise and always knows exactly what you need to hear. She is brave and goes after what she dreams with her whole heart. She will be there for you any time of day, even though her bedtime is pretty early. She makes her friends feel special and loved in such an incredible way and I am honored to be one. College would have been miserable without her and she remains a constant Godly and wise voice in my life. I do not take her friendship for granted and I am blessed to have her stand by my side.
Kenny Shockley
Groomsman
Kenny, My Brotha! I don't need to say much about him. Just look at the way he looked at me in this picture haha. He definitely has always loved me and had my back. Kenny and I are completely opposite. But, that is what has bonded us together. I have enjoyed getting to be your little bother! If you know Kenny, you know he is not a man of many words. But, when he is passionate about something he can't shut up and its so genuine. I love that!!!! I love being able to see you grow and develop into a leader! love you bro!
Jessica Kantner
Bridesmaid
Jessica has been through it all with me. We met in 4th grade but our friendship got strong in middle school. We walked through the awkward middle school years, dramatic high school years, long distance college years and have remained friends through it all. We have sang “she will he loved” at the top of our lungs while 4-wheeling, watched the sunrise from Fisher Island, traveled all over the south east, and eaten a lot of junk food together and we have watched and helped each other grow in to the women we are today. There is not a better friend who will simply be with you when you just need someone to be there in whatever you are going through. Jess is hilarious and unique and I am so thankful to have called her my sister and friend for so many years.
Chris Shockley
Groomsman
Chris, My older brother. One thing about Chris and I, is that I never knew someone could have such a big heart! He is always willing to help out and truly loves people. Chris showed me how to have a good work ethic and was always willing to invest in teaching me things. He is a great husband and father to his daughters. I have loved being around to see him lead and love. I always look forward to seeing Chris, because he has the best stories and can light up a room! Love you brother!
Tiffany Elam
Bridesmaid
Tiffany has seen my random dance parties to keep me sane while studying for nursing tests and joined in with me. Tiffany and I lived together all 4 years of college. We moved in freshman year and got experience life away from home together and the life change that happened in those 4 years were incredible and we were side by side through it all. Lots of adventures, late night talks, ice cream runs, tears, and movie nights happened and I am so thankful she was the one who shared those times with me. Tiffany is a strong competitor, kindest soul, and most caring friend. She is open and vulnerable and she makes such a sweet friend. College would have been so very different without meeting her and sharing life with her sweet spirit.
Garrett Gainey
Groomsman
Garrett, Garrett and I met in college. We are the same breed of person. I loved to compete with him in class, and hang out outside of class. I enjoyed making fun of his Seminoles as my tigers reign dominance in college football. We both share the same core values. He is the type of friend that is willing and able to jump into anything with you and dependable as they come. We both reside in Florida today as work bro's! love you my GG you my brotha!
Brittany Morrison
Bridesmaid
My sister...I mean friend, Brittany, is the closest thing I ever had to a sister growing up. She is apart of my family from endless sleep overs, to family vacations, to holidays at Granny’s, there are not many childhood memories I have that she isn’t apart of. Our friendship is going on 18 years of friendship. It all started when our kindergarten teacher paired me with her to be my buddy in the first day I started after Christmas break, and the rest is literally history. Brittany is incredibly strong willed and equally hilarious. Together we did the silliest things and created the most fun games. She is always down for adventures and will fight for her people no matter what. She is another one of a kind and I am thankful that she has already been by my side from day 1.
Sam Atkinson
Groomsman
Sam, Thank you for always being my main dude! I remember when we met at Grace Church at decade 20. We were both there looking for all the single girls. I did not find a girl that day, but I did find a best friend! We have had some good times together. I have enjoyed growing in our relationship with Jesus together and having some of the best conversations on life. Thanks for the daily HEY BUDDY call haha always look forward to seeing you Love you bud
