Tricia & Shaw
Wedding Party
Tricia Rayle
Bride
Tricia is the love of my life, she’s sweet, loving, kind, caring, selfless, and she’s really great with kids. Ever since I met her she has brought more joy to my life. She makes me smile and laugh a lot. She loves to mimick me and that is the funniest thing in the world. I love the way she looks at me and I love her smile. Tricia is always there for me and knows how to calm me down and help me out. She encourages me and supports me and she makes me really happy. She knows what she wants in life and she loves our 2 dogs and they adore her.
Kelcey Broome
Maid of Honor
Kelcey and I met at Chick-fil-A when I started working there in September of 2020 and instantly hit it off! We have been friends ever since. We started hanging out outside of work and became best friends! Kelcey gave me a nickname, Wendy, because she kept mixing me and another girl we worked with up because we both had blonde hair and our names started with “T” and the nickname stuck! Kelcey is an amazing human who is always there for me, is caring, trustworthy, loving, beautiful inside and out and is an amazing mom and best friend. I chose her to be my Maid of Honor because she has been there for me through a lot of struggles. She has been someone I could count on to help me, to support me, and to show me that things will get better.
Bristey Thomas
Bridesmaid
Bristey is one of my older sisters, she grew up helping take care of me and being there for me. She protected me, she cared for me, and she still does! She is smart, beautiful, funny, caring, loving, and an amazing mom to my nieces! I remember when Caitlyn (one of my sisters) got a concussion in high school, and Bristey took me and Alexa (my twin) over to her house and I was so excited because I got to spend the whole night hanging out with Bristey!
Britney Vernon
Bridesmaid
Britney is another one of my older sisters, she also grew up helping take care of me and being there for me. She protected me, cared for me and helped raise me. She is beautiful, caring, loving, smart, funny, and an amazing mom to my nephews! I remember going over to her house one day and hanging out with her and the boys, and we were just enjoying a normal day and talking and she started acting crazy, she was acting like she was a dinosaur and it was so funny.
Laylah Thomas
Junior Bridesmaid
Laylah is my beautiful niece! She was my first niece and she was my mini me. I remember when my mom used to babysit her everyday while Bristey was at work and I remember waking up early before school so I could be ready by the time Bristey got there with Laylah. I remember feeding her a bottle every morning before school and rushing home so I could play with her! As she got older, she would get so excited to see me and she still does! She is an amazing, sassy, beautiful, talented, loving young girl who is growing up way too fast. She is a crazy young girl who used to walk around the house in my cowgirl boots and would jump around wearing a trash bag around her legs.
Tucker Broome
Ring Bearer
Tucker is an amazing kid who I am lucky to have in my life! I am so grateful that Kelcey has done such a great job of raising a smart, funny, energetic kid who loves his “Wendy”. I love getting to spend time with him and seeing him grow up. We have so much fun together and he loves coming over and playing with the dogs. He calls Oakley and Ramsey “his dogs.”
Piper Thomas
Flower Girl
Piper is my other beautiful niece! I didn’t get to be around her as much as she grew up like I was with Laylah and like I wanted to be because I was in college and moved to Georgia but when I do get to see her, I can see her mom and Laylah in her. I see what an amazing, smart, loving, crazy little girl she is. She became Oakley’s best friend the first time she met her (she was giving her goldfish and Oakley had never had human food, haha). My favorite memory with Piper is going over to Britney’s house for a party and seeing Piper for the first time in a while and her pretty much instantly wanting to sit on my lap and play with me.
Shaw Knight
Groom
Shaw is an amazing, caring, loving, protective, crazy, wild, special, strong, and handsome man. He is exactly who I needed in my life. Even when we first met, he instantly knew how to calm me down and be there for me. He came into my life when I needed someone the most. I love him because he protects the people he loves, he knows how to make me smile even when I don’t think it is possible. He encourages me, supports me, he makes me feel safe. He has an infectious smile, he loves our dogs and plays with them and it makes me fall more and more in love every time I see him with them.
Cody Knight
Best Man
He’s my best friend and a cool ass guy. I’m glad he’s my only other sibling honestly. Super smart about his cars and whats under their hoods. One of my favorite memories were the time we were “mudding” and we got stuck and I mean STUCK and we had to call his buddy to come get us and it was his land 😂.
AJ Sisson
Groomsman
I met AJ at the county, he’s my bud, teaches me a lot of things and refers to me as (frog). We fish together and my best memory yet is we were fishing at Chris’s house and he was using a top water Zara spook, I’m to his left and I had a fish on the line and I heard the explosion. Aj said “frog this is a big one” I remember he was trying to keep his calm but you could tell he was flipping out. I got my bass off the hook and put it back and I saw Aj’s fish and you ask anyone I’ve ever fished with if I say it’s a big fish, it’s a BIG FISH. She jumped and AJ got her all the way to the bank and straightened the hook and lost her. AJ just dropped and laid down in a fire ant bed. But after that he caught a 5 pound bass.
Shea Rodgers
Groomsman
Whenever we moved to Indian Land, Sc, it was my first day at football workout and Shea was the first person I met. He showed me all over Indian land, and before we could drive we used to ride all over the place on our bikes. Shea and I became best friends and we did some wild things in high school. From blowing up fireworks, to lining fire crackers across the road so cars would drive over them, pulling each other behind the 4 wheeler on the sled, and making great memories.
Aaron Kyzer
Groomsman
I met Aaron on North Myrtle Beach. My favorite memory is us all chilling in the lazy river after it had closed, and I mean way after, it was like midnight. His cousin Chase, decided to start jumping in the lazy river. Well someone called the law on us, and needless to say we had to go back to our condos.
Max Vernon
Junior Groomsman
Max is Tricia’s oldest nephew. Max is a smart, fun, energetic, loving and amazing young boy. Max is a pretty shy kid but when I met him, we instantly hit it off and were just hanging out, talking, and playing outside.
Clark Vernon
Junior Groomsman
Clark is Tricia’s younger nephew. Clark is a smart, funny, loving, energetic, and great kid. My favorite memory with Clark is at a birthday for him and Max. We were all just hanging out outside and playing with nerf guns and the other toys they had.
