Marie & Matthew
Wedding Party
Owen Manley
Ring Bearer
My handsome nephew! Families come in all shapes and sizes. Chris and Emily and their families are some of the most loving people. We're now lucky enough to call them family. Matt and I love seeing Owen grow and discover that he has an army of people who support him. We are so excited to have him be a part of our special day!
Aubree Perkins
Flower Girl
The Bestman and Kayla Knox's beautiful little girl! Matt and I have had the opportunity to watch her grow into the sassy, smart, and adorable three year old she is today. We love being her Uncle Matt and Aunt Marwie. We couldn't think of anyone else to help present us walking down the aisle than Aubs!
Ashley Teta
Maid of Honor
We have been through it all together! Girl Scouts, 4th grade table buddies, rec softball partners, MySpace top friends, 3rd wheels, family vacations, kitty and doggy auntie, therapist, roommates, best friends, MAID OF HONOR! She's the person who if I don't see for months I can pick back up with like we saw each other yesterday. She is one of the most dependable people I know and I’m so lucky I can depend on her to be my best friend. Ashley --yes, I'm the only friend who is allowed to call her Ashley-- has always and will always be by my side. Of course she'll be my number one on my wedding day!
Larissa Warren
Bridesmaid
The little sister I never wanted-- Just kidding! She's the little sister I wanted and needed in my life! Many people say it's weird to live with their fiance and his sister, but Larissa is not just my fiance's sister. She has become one of my closest friends. I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to be so close to my sister-in-law. Our friendship grows even closer everyday. We already bicker like sisters. I can't wait to call you my sister officially!
Lauren Cantrell
Bridesmaid
Our friendship started during our softball days, but flourished when we were dying in our Summer college Chemistry class. Lauren eventually moved to Jacksonville and we became roomies-- see a pattern? We shared so much of our lives: cooking together, endless group projects, graduating with the same degree at UNF, working together, and calling each other even if it was just for two minutes. She is always looking out for her friends and how to make things more personalized. Who else would decorate our house like Hogwarts and send me my own Hogwarts letter for my 22nd Birthday? I'm grateful to have her up by my side!
Melissa Whitley
Bridesmaid
A roommate not by choice, but by blood! A lifetime of memories, love, and support from you. One of the only other people who know the feeling of Dad’s “yellow pad sessions” lol. With almost 5 years apart we didn’t grow close until I was older. Although we may not see each other as much as we’d like too, I’m thankful to always have had you cheering me on for all my life’s accomplishments. You have always supported and cared so much for Matt and I’s relationship. I love you so much and so happy to have you by my side.
Cody Perkins
Best Man
Where to start? We meet each other on the bus in 5th grade, but our friendship didn't start until we had elective class in 6th grade. From sleepovers playing FIFA and Halo 2 all night, to running around the neighborhood playing man hunt. Then in high school we played soccer, football, and rode around in your jeep. we spent spring breaks at the springs and summers in Dawsonvile. After graduation I left for the Navy where most friendships would end from the distance, but not ours. I can’t think of anyone that I would want to be my Best Man more than you. You’re the brother I never had.
Nick Wilken
Groomsman
Nick. look how far we've come? Meeting each other in 6th grade elective class to being one of my groomsman. Most of the best memories I have are memories of us hysterically laughing to the point I was in tears. Whether it was on the soccer pitch, Cody's house, at school, and even today at Orlando City games, if you are there I knew I was going to have great time. We've been through ups and downs in our lives but I wouldn't be where I am today without you by my side.
Cody Marsh
Groomsman
Cody Marsh, we may not have been friends for as long as my others, but you’re no less important to me. Our friendship started while watching "Sons of Anarchy" every night during deployment. From long hours working on the flightdeck, to spending long nights partying at Eagles Nest. You were always someone I could count on. Even though my childhood best friends were home back in Ormond, you were a best friend in the Navy. You and Ashley are my extended family and I wouldn't want to get married without you by my side.
Jon Wojo
Groomsman
Wojo, there’s no one who loves classic rock more than me other than you. From rocking jamming in the green shack to shredding air guitar at Leonards house, you’ve always been a friend to count on. Exploring countries on deployment, getting down at concerts, or getting beers here in Jax it’s always a good time when you’re around. How can I have the best day of my life and not have you there with me.
Deandre Albright
Groomsman
My navy A1 Day 1. Back in A-School you signing off my PQS, little did I know you would become one of my best friends, go to the same ship, and the same work center. We would eventually get our own apartment together. From going to parties, playing video games, and making fun of Oliver. You are more than a friend. How could I get married without my A1 Day 1?
