Brittney is my little sister and the matron of honor. There is not enough words to describe how much she means to me and how close our sistership is. She works for a bank in the area. She met her husband at White Water 8 years ago. She has 3 lovable dogs that she considers as her children.

Shannon is a bridemaid and my best friend who I considered to be family. I have known her since we were little. We grew up together and I wouldn't trade her for the world. Shannon is a nurse in Minnesota. She is married to her husband for almost 2 years and have a loving dog and cat for their children.

Sam is a bridemaid and she is one of my best friends who is considered family. I grew up with Sam and we have been friends along with Shannon from the beginning. Sam is a manager as a local fast-food restaurant. Sam is married to her husband for almost 5 years, has a 2 year old son, and 3 energetic dogs.

Brooke is a bridemaid and one of my best friends. We met at White Water almost 6 years ago and it was an instant friendship. Brooke is attending college to become a physician's assistant. Brooke has 2 adorable dogs.

Thayne and I met in high school but we really didn't start hanging out until my junior year. He has since become my best friend and was there for me through it all. We played basketball together all the time and worked together at white water.

Aside from Preston, I'm pretty sure I've known Thayne the longest. I met Thayne when I was in Kindergarten (he was in pre-k) and had just moved to Branson. He was my first friend in Branson, and we were pretty much inseparable throughout grade school. Even though we've not been able to be as close of friends as we used to, whenever we do get together, it's like we are picking up where we left off. I'm grateful to have Thayne as my friend.

Thayne the first time that we met was in 2009 at my first year in White Water. Even though I was new, you took your time to give me some veteran lifeguard advice. Those kind words went along way and now 7 years later we are going to be brothers through marriage.

For those of you that don’t know me, I’m Preston, brother/groomsman, and I have literally known the groom all of his life which means before we learned what a bowl-cut hairdo was and how bad we looked in them! We’ve had good times and bad. We’ve stood up for each other and wanted to behead each other the very next minute, however I wouldn’t trade a second of our relationship because we are who we are today because of our bond.
