For those that don’t know Chach, to know her is to love her. She is my older sister/second mom/mother to my beautiful niece and nephew/my built in best friend. God knows I wouldn’t have made it through childhood with my two big brothers without her as my sidekick. She is introverted yet strong; gentle yet hilarious. She is everything I have always wanted to be. She’s the first call I make when I’ve got big news. She’s the keeper of my deepest and darkest secrets. It doesn’t matter if she is living on the opposite side of the world in Japan, we always find a way to stay connected as if we were still living under the same roof. We have looked forward to this day our whole lives and I can’t imagine this day without her by my side (mainly to be on Janet duty and make sure she doesn’t lose her cool LOL JK MOM, kinda🤪). My number one she has always been, my number one she will always be. I love you Chach!

Shannon Brianne—I swear if my brother wouldn’t have married her into our family, I would have found a way to meet her and be her friend because she is the peanut butter to my jelly. It’s insane how perfectly she fits in with us crazies. She is hysterical, beautiful, trendy, thoughtful and selfless. She is my go-to (and really everyone’s) stylist. She is the greatest wife and mother to our 3 sweet boys. She is an excellent listener and always there for me to vent to when I need someone to talk to. She’s my favorite patio wino girls date, staying up entirely too late because we can’t stop talking and giggling. I can’t imagine this day without her by my side. Love you Shan!

Makenna Grace is my niece but more like my child. She acts more like me than she does her own parents (sorry Chels). When she was just a toddler, her dad was deployed a lot so Chelsey and I often referred to ourselves as the sister wives. Lol. She has grown up into the sweetest, most beautiful young lady. She loves dance (following in MayMay’s footsteps), art and being outside. We are so stinkin’ proud of her and adore every little part of her!

Cade and I became friends as soon as he moved to Brownwood. We've always found common ground gaming, hunting, and have even been roommates on two different occasions. Cade and I can go months without talking and still pick up right where we left off. Cade is dependable and loyal, always there when needed, and would drop whatever he's doing to help a friend (even if its at 2AM and you are needing a ride home after one too many.) Cade has always been there to support me and has supported Maddie in the short time she has gotten to know him too. It wouldn’t be right to not have him stand beside me on one of the most important days of my life.

Jon and I became friends after my family moved back to Brownwood in the 4th grade. Living just 2 houses down, Jon and I started getting into trouble at a early age, where we would ride bikes from one side of Brownwood to the other just for an icecream or to harass the wildlife at the park. Jon and I both had a mutual love for the outdoors, and have always spent late nights chasing varmints or early mornings going after birds or deer. Jon is a friend who will always make you laugh and encourage you to get out and live a meaningful life. Even when you aren't looking for a story, when me and Jon get together, the story tends to find us. Brown county was our oyster, and a late night backroad with all of our friends was a common nightly adventure when we traded our bikes in for trucks. As we've grown older our lives have gotten busier, but that never stops us from trying to relive a few glory days, or reminisce around a fire or while out checking fields. Jon is a true definition of a good neighbor, someone you feel comfortable knowing has your back.

Ryder Bane is our oldest nephew! He is the kindest, most gentle kid I’ve ever met. He is shy but very witty, much like his dad. He is smart and athletic. He loves all things baseball. We can’t wait to move closer to home to see him play some Brock Baseball! He loves hangin out with his MayMay & CarCar (even if he won’t admit it out loud😝) We love this kid so big and can’t wait to continue seeing him grow and succeed in life.

I can’t wait to see the show our sweet niece Hollis Holman puts on as she struts down the isle. She is the most quirky, hilarious, sassy and polite little girl I’ve ever met! Still unsure if she will show up in her Princess dress or her spidey girl costume, so we shall see! We love the days we get to spoil her. As much as I would love to say she loves her MayMay the most, she is a biiiiig CarCar’s girl!

Sawyer is our big (almost) 3 year old nephew! He is our very shy guy but slowly but surely coming out of his shell! He loves being outside, when we sing + dance with him, and his big brother Ryder. We’re excited to see him come down the isle to us!

Shepherd is our wild one year old nephew. He is the happiest guy! It seems like he is growing more and more every single day but we have so loved watching his little personality blossom. He loves eating (lol), playing with his big brothers and the crazy faces+noises his dad makes. By the time the big day gets here, I’m sure he’ll be sprinting down the isle to us!
