Meet Katie, the wonderful Maid of Honor and lifelong best friend of our bride! In 2007, their friendship began inside Mrs. Sondra Park's 3rd grade homeroom class. Ever since then two have been inseparable.
One of Amber’s favorite things about Katie is that she is always up for an adventure, and her energy is completely contagious. Even when they don't talk every day, their connection is so strong that they always pick up right where they left off, as if no time has passed. Amber and Katie did everything together from playing outside, travel basketball, volleyball, staying up late to watch scary movies, or shopping and getting their nails done. There are too many memories for Amber to count, but one that stands out is watching Katie become the most incredible mother to her daughter, Chandler. Seeing Katie embrace motherhood with such selflessness and love has been truly inspirational.
Lennon - Best Man
Meet Lennon, Best Man and one of Jordan's best friends. They met in late 2016 in the Union practice rooms where Jordan and a few friends were attempting to record a song. Jordan and Lennon became fast friends and were inseparable for the entire summer of 2017. Jordan has a ton of treasured moments with his Best Man, but if he had to choose one that sticks out it would be in 2018 when he went to visit Lennon at his college in New York. It was Jordan's first time traveling out of state by himself, so needless to say it was intimidating. After touching down and making his way to Fordham's campus, Jordan was immediately relieved when he finally met up with Lennon. It was like no time had passed between the two of them, and it turned this daunting journey to a new locale into one of the best trips Jordan had ever taken. In short, Lennon is one of the most genuine, understanding, creative, and overall fun people that Jordan has ever met, and it is an honor to have him as a Best Man.
Amanda - Bridesmaid
Meet Amanda, one of our cherished bridesmaids! Amber and Amanda's friendship traces back to the summer of 2018, where they were introduced at a slumber party. Since then, their connection grows each time when Amanda and Lennon return to Tennessee.
Amanda is the kind of friend who makes you feel genuinely seen and heard. Whether you're sharing your life story in the corner of a busy room or simply enjoying a quiet moment together, Amanda's empathic and loving nature shines through.
One of Amber's favorite memories with Amanda dates back to 2020 when she briefly lived in Jackson, TN. During this time, they bonded over musicals, impromptu Glee living room karaoke sessions, and meeting newborn kittens Bunny and Onyx.
Bijon - Groomsmen
Meet Bijon, one of our Groomsmen and the man who started it all. Bijon introduced Jordan to Lennon and Taylor, and years later they ended up introducing Amber to Jordan. Bijon and Jordan met in 2014 at counselor training for Lakeshore. Between camp and time spent together in Jackson, they became extremely close friends. Jordan's favorite memory with Bijon would have to be their trip to Florida in the summer of 2017. From days on the beach to tossing out little hugs juice barrels in standstill traffic, the trip is one that Jordan could never forget. Bijon has been and continues to be one of the most affable, profound, chill, and dependable friends that Jordan has, and he knows that Bijon is always just a call away.
Tayler - Bridesmaid
Meet Tayler, one of our radiant bridesmaids! Tayler shares a special bond with our bride, having met in 2018 before Amber and Jordan's romantic journey began. During a memorable day trip to Memphis, Jordan made a stop at Tayler's house to say hello. Tayler's openness and curiosity were evident from the moment she spotted Amber waiting in the car, prompting her to immediately inquire about this new face in her brother's life. Since then, Tayler has embraced her role as big sister by offering unwavering support and guidance. One of Amber's favorite traits about Tayler is her inner attitude! Tayler is the ultimate hype woman and loyal to the core. She is the best person to talk to over the phone because she always brings laughter and has words of encouragement.
One of Amber's fondest memories of Tayler is witnessing her graduate in 2023 with her BSN in Nursing. Go Tigers!
Taylor - Groomsmen
Meet Taylor, one of Jordan's best friends and one of our groomsmen. One of Jordan's favorite memories with Taylor is the night that they met. It was November 2016 when Jordan invited Bijon to see some bands perform at Barefoots Joe cafe, and Bijon invited Taylor. When they arrived and met up Jordan and Taylor hit it off immediately. The trio found a seat in the front row and the night consisted of great music and even better conversation. Jordan and Taylor especially enjoyed the band River Whyless and headed to the merch table on the way out. The band was there selling and signing copies of the latest album and Taylor bought two, one for himself and the other for Jordan. When offered to be paid back Taylor brushed it off despite this being the first time the two had met. When this memory comes to mind it reflects the kind, generous, caring, and steadfast friend that Taylor was and still is to this day.
