Garrett and Ashley’s story goes all the way back to freshman year of high school, where they met in a Veterinary Assistant class. What started as a simple friendship quickly turned into a lifelong friendship—these two became inseparable. From high school to attending the University of West Florida together, they’ve been by each other’s side through it all. Whether it was classes, life milestones, or just everyday moments, they’ve truly done everything together. Today, it’s only fitting that Garrett stands here as Ashley’s Man of Honor—not just as her best friend, but as someone who has been a constant, loyal presence in her life.

Standing by Ashley’s side as a bridesmaid is someone who has known her longer than anyone else—her older sister, Sam. Growing up together, they’ve shared a lifetime of memories, from childhood adventures to life’s biggest milestones. Through every stage of life, Sam has been a constant source of support, laughter, and honesty. Their bond is one that only sisters can understand—built on love, trust, and a whole lot of shared history.

Next up is one of Ashley’s closest friends, Rosa. They met sophomore year at the University of West Florida while training to become Resident Assistants—and from day one, they just clicked. What started as an RA connection quickly turned into a strong friendship built on support, trust, and plenty of shared experiences. By senior year, they became roommates, spending just about all their time together and making some of their favorite college memories. Through every challenge and every milestone, Rosa has been right there by Ashley’s side, and today is no different.

Next up is bridesmaid Katy, one of Ashley’s closest friends from their time at the University of West Florida. The two became close junior year while working as Resident Assistants, and by senior year, they were roommates—spending just about all their time together. Whether it was handling RA duties or just hanging out, they made the most of every moment. And of course, a lot of that time was spent introducing Katy to some must-watch classics she had somehow never seen—like Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and Twilight. Through all the laughs, late nights, and movie marathons, Katy has been an amazing friend, and Ashley is so lucky to have her standing by her side today.

Damian met Mike while working together at 3 Sister’s Speakeasy, and the two quickly formed a close friendship.
