DANIEL & KELSEY'S
Memphis, TN
Bridesmaid
Lauren Johnson
Matron of Honor
Nikki Daveluy
Nikki, more recently known as Ashley, is my big sister. She has always looked out for me even when I was the pest little sister, and for that I owe her a lot. As we've gotten older, we have grown to become close friends, and she's someone that I rely on more than she knows. She amazes me as a sister, mother, and friend. I am a pretty lucky gal to have her in my life. She recently moved to the tundra of Michigan with her husband, Jim, and three precious boys, Wyatt, Lucas and Clinton. I can't wait for her to stand by my side on the biggest day of my life.
The bridesmaids.
Bridesmaid
Jenna Kaufman
Jenna "Jennaface" Kaufman is that free spirit everyone needs in their life. Jenna and I met in middle school and became soul mates in high school gossiping about boys, complaining about AP homework, and trying to act older than we were. We went spearate ways for college, but she remained my best friend through thick and thin. Junior year of college we got to romp around Europe together as she studied in the UK the same time I was in Italy. We've made tons of memories, and though we always thought we'd be the last single ones, I know she's excited to stand by me. I'd have it no other way.
Bridesmaid
Lizzie Bickel
Lauren (Vannoy) Johnson, or LV, is my best friend, roommate and wing woman from college. We met Freshman year at the University of Tennessee when we both rushed ADPi, and it was fate. We quickly became attached at the hip whether it was going to the cafeteria, socializing at mixers or practicing our LipSync dance for the Fresh Price of Bel Air. Over the years we made memories both in Knoxville and on trips to Atlanta, Memphis, Florida and more. She is the most loyal and caring friend a girl could ask for. Thanks for always putting up with me, LaurVann!
Bridesmaid
Sarah Bentley
Sarah Bentley is the girl I always wanted around in college because she was a definite good time. We met freshman year when we both rushed ADPi and became fast friends going to mixers, date parties and more. As I got to know Sarah, I realized she is more than just fun to hang out with but is also caring and the most honest person I have ever met. She's a straight shooter and puts me in my place when needed. She's also a great roadtripper, (Saks) fashion savvy, and obsessed with teenage pop music. I'm pretty stoked to have her next to me on the big day (and to keep us all in check).
Lizzie Bickel is Daniel's little sister. Though Liz may not know it, she is one of the reasons I fell in love with her brother. When Daniel and I first started dating, he always talked about his little sister, and I could hear in his voice how much he cared for her. From listening to him talk about her and to her I thought, "This man is going to be a great father one day." Once I finally met Liz, we became fast friends and bonded over her giving me a much needed haircut. I am thrilled to have her standing by me as I gain a new sister!
The groomsmen.
Best Man
Joseph Martinez
Joseph "The Jerk" Martinez. The Jerk and I met over 4 years ago while working for the same company. It didn't take us long to connect and find many common interests and then of course start busting each others chops. His wit is good enough to keep up with me, which is how we ended up calling each other "jerks". When one of us does something wrong were the first ones to let each other know. What I love about the Jerk is that I have never met someone who is so passionate and dedicated to whatever he does and the people in his life. Next to Peyton Manning we're each others 2nd favorite guy.
Chris Bickel...
Groomsman
Jon Bickel
Jon is the youngest of the 3 boys with a 6 year age difference between he and I. Looking back over the years I think he may have been the smartest of the 3 not because of grades, but because he never got caught doing something terribly wrong and he learned very quickly what not to do by seeing all of my mistakes. I'd say Jon is the most talented person in our family because of his musical ability. We may pull him up on stage for a song at the wedding...
Groomsman
Chris Bickel
Chris is the oldest of my two younger brothers. Even though we are 4 years apart he is the one I drug out into the back yard daily to play whichever sport was in season. The greatest thing about Chris is that he is very humble and down to earth. We share a love for the outdoors, fishing, hunting, and shooting the biggest guns we can find. If your going to break any laws at the wedding, do it behind his back because he is going to school to become a cop. :)
Groomsman
Gabe Latshaw
Gabe "double nickels" Lathsaw and I met in elementary school and grew up together like brothers. Through our school years, we did everything boys are supposed to do; chase girls, drink beer, and act like the world revolved around football. If there is someone you want to laugh with, cry with, or have a heart to heart with this is your guy. Even though our adult years have been spent thousands of miles apart, he will always be one of the most important guys to me.
The others.
