Alison and Jessica met their first week at Clemson when Jessica walked up to her and a couple friends at the FCA picnic. They found out they lived in the same building and quickly became friends and then roommates. They became known as the "giggle girls" due to their constant laughing whenever they were together. They grew closer over the years, sharing the ups and downs of life. Jessica was a bridesmaid in Alison's wedding, and is known for giving a toast at the reception that involved Alison kissing a frog! Even though she's a little nervous about what sort of revenge Alison could be planning, Jessica could not imagine getting married without Alison by her side. Alison is currently living in Fletcher, NC with her husband Bill and working as an elementary school teacher.

Jessica and Kendall met their sophomore year at Clemson when they ended up sharing a room on the Kappa Delta hall. Even though they were already "sisters," they never really knew each other their freshman year. Over many Greek social events, dining hall dinners, and late night conversations, they became good friends and remained so throughout college. After graduation, the two both ended up in Greensboro, North Carolina for graduate school (Jessica a year later than Kendall). Kendall likes to say that Jessica followed her there because she just couldn't live without her! Now Kendall is living in the D.C. area and working at the DAR museum. Kendall also recently got engaged, so Jessica is looking forward to sharing the joyous experience of wedding planning with her!

From the first time Jessica met Carmen, she has been incredibly friendly and welcoming. While they haven't spent much time together yet, Carmen has always made Jessica feel like a part of the family. Jessica is so excited to be gaining a sister-in-law and is looking forward to getting to know her more in the years to come! Carmen lives in Lenoir, NC where she works as a pharmacist and enjoys being a mom to her newly-adopted son, Zane.

Dave's father, Bruce, is also serving as Best Man. A wonderful father, he taught Dave to play baseball and other sports, and he helped Dave to begin learning to play guitar on his old guitar from college (which Dave unfortunately stepped on and broke!). Most importantly, over the years he has taught Dave through his example what it means to be a man after God's own heart and a good husband. While some shudder at the thought of "becoming their father," Dave has long considered this to be a worthy goal. It's an honor for Dave to call him father, and a joy to call him Best Man.

Bruce is a Senior Project Manager for Yeargin Potter-Shackelford Construction and lives in Greenville, SC, with Dave's mother, Sarah (also pictured).

Dave actually met Robert through his now wife, Natalie, who sang in the a cappella group Take Note, the female counterpart to Tigeroar. Robert, equally known to friends as Dewey, is a gifted musician himself, and both he and Natalie eventually served together in the church worship band with Dave. Robert is also a talented sound engineer, having recorded multiple projects with Dave and the DCF band over the past few years. He and Natalie are now living in Nashville, Tennessee, where Robert is following his dreams by apprenticing at a professional recording studio.

Dave met Monte on the same day as Dave's sister Carmen, on a church trip to Wyoming. Monte was a missionary in the Jackson Hole area at the time, and little did Dave know they would one day be brothers-in-law. Dave served as a groomsmen in Monte and Carmen's wedding in 2000, and Dave is honored Monte will be doing the same for him!

Monte works with Samaritan's Purse International Relief and lives in Lenoir, NC, with Carmen and their son Zane.

Jacob, who is Jessica's brother, is a Sergeant in the Army National Guard and is currently on active duty in Iraq. Jacob will be returning to the U.S. this Spring and will continue his studies at Mississippi State University, where he is pursuing a degree in Kinesiology. Jacob also enjoys competing in mixed martial arts matches.

Jessica feels very blessed to be able to have her father walk her down the aisle on this special day. Joe lives in Starkville, Mississippi with his wife (mother of Jessica) Barbara and works as Assistant to the President at Mississippi State University. When he's not hard at work, he enjoys running, bird watching, smoking meat, and reading.
