My parents are the reason I am the person I am today. I wasn't always the best child, but when I was out of line my parents made sure to show me the person I should be. They made sure I knew how to treat a lady and how to be a respectable man. I have everything to thank them for. My parents are the best parents I could've ever asked for! Thank you both for everything you've done for me. Love you guys.

I believe that my love of travel stems directly from my father. He took me across the country as a child. Years later I still cherish the many memories of driving with him through the various states and sites. I cannot imagine my wedding day without him there. I am so happy to say that he will be officating the wedding. He has done so much for me. He is one of my biggest cheerleaders and always has encouraging words to say to me. His stories and jokes may not always be approriate, but they will be very entertaining. I love this man so much and am so glad he will be playing such an important role in my wedding. 

For the last 15 years I have been living in Louisiana. My mother met a man here and we all packed our bags up and moved. My mother pushed both my sister and I to make sure we did our very best not only in school, but in everything that we do. Mary is the queen of arts and crafts which has really came in handy for making things for the wedding. She also passed down to me a love of travel. She has taken me to many places around the world for which I am extremely thankful for. 

Riley has raised us as his own flesh and blood. He has provided everything that I have ever needed plus more. It sometimes scares me just how much he and TJ are alike. Riley has been to every football game, cheerleading competition, and dance recital. I am so happy to have him by my side to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day.
