aka "Work Mere" or "Blocker" is one of "the three Meres". We met in 2009 at Blythewood High School, teaching just a few classrooms down from each other. We have been best friends ever since. For the 11 years we taught at the same school, both students and staff were convinced we were sisters.
Whitney Connell - Bridesmaid
Whitney is my oldest friend; we met at just 4 years old attending PreK in 1991. From Kindergarten graduation, high school graduation, college graduation, and now weddings, Whitney has been my best hype girl through every era of life.
Lindsey Eddy - Bridesmaid
Lindsey is my future sister-in-law but already my second "sis". She has always welcomed me into the family with open arms and made me feel right at home. Whether it's jumping out of airplanes or back porch sittin' I look forward to adding more family fun in the future.
Renee Giddens - Bridesmaid
Seeing she is my sister, I have known her my whole life. We shared rooms together, told on each other, got in trouble together, and kept secrets together. From childhood to adulthood, growing up together provided a book full of memories and this day will add to the list.
Meredith Ray - Bridesmaid
aka "Memphis Mere" is another one of "the three Meres". We met playing for the "Last Minute Allstars" in an adult co-ed softball league while we were both in Grad School at USC. She is joyful in her devotion to others with a positve and magnetic personality so all that know her, love her! Even though she has since moved to Memphis, she remains one of my best friends and the Goose to my Maverick.
Kenzie Shaw - Bridesmaid
I also met Kenzie playing on the Last Minute Allstars team in 2010. We instantly connected over our love for the sport and having good times. She is one of the strongest women I know, immensly loyal, fiercely supportive, and is an amazing mom to 3 of the coolest kids around. She is my go-to for all things Gamecocks, 49ers, and Dale Jr.
Meredith Troutman - Bridesmaid
aka "Blonde Mere" or "Troutman" is the last of "the three Meres". We met in 2011 at a mutual friend's birthday. Troutman's always game. Whether it's snowboarding, trail riding, boating, or just exploring in general-she's always up for the adventure!
The Gentlemen
Garrett Autry - Groomsmen
Ole G-money Autry has been around since the 9th grade. He's got all the jokes and is guaranteed to make you laugh.
Brian Cochran - Groomsmen
Known this guy since kindergarten, the longest of all the groomsmen. Farm stuff, cow stuff, and all things rodeo dang near every weekend for years.
Cole Devlin - Groomsmen
Met Cole rodeoing about 3 or so years ago. I was trying to get some guys to go pro rodeo with me and Cole stepped up, and became my travel partner, and eventually roomates. He's a good friend and good cowboy.
Chris Eddy - Groomsmen
Chris became a brother the moment he married my sister. As Battalion Chief at Greene County Fire Department, his passion for serving others shined brightly. Chris's exceptional character as a family man, friend, and firefighter left a lasting impact on all who knew him. Though he recently departed and is heartbreakingly no longer with us, his spirit remains an integral part of our wedding party and celebration.
Bryson Sisk - Groomsmen
Bryson is my nephew and been my sidekick since the day he was born. He's like my brother and my own kid at the same time with all the baseball, playstation, and trash talkin in between.
