Briana & Braxton

Hi, I’m Raschell, the Matron of Honor!

I love home decor and interior design, and I’m the type of person who finds joy in organizing everything. I met Bri during my sophomore year at Georgia Southern, and we quickly became fast friends (and eventually roommates)....fun times!

One of my most special memories with Bri is from my wedding day. She was my Maid of Honor and truly helped make the day unforgettable for my husband and me. Plus, we had so much fun celebrating! Bri is one of my best friends and she has always supported me through life's ups and downs. I am honored to stand by her side on one of the biggest days of her life to support her in this next chapter of her life.

Hi! I’m Chelsea, one of the bridesmaids!

I love summer nature walks and spending time with my family. I met Briana at church through our sons, and we quickly became friends. One of my favorite memories with Briana is when my son wanted a birthday swim party, but I couldn’t find an affordable place. Even though we'd just met, Briana insisted on hosting it at her apartment. That’s also when I met Braxton, and both he and Briana won my family’s hearts with their warmth and kindness.

Being part of this wedding means "community" to me. I’m honored to stand by them, to pray for them, and to cheer them on as they start this beautiful journey together. Briana and Braxton are truly special; they’ve shown me what real friendship and support look like, and I’m so grateful to celebrate this day with them!

Hi, I’m Charley, one of the bridesmaids!

A fun fact about me is I love taking myself out for solo dates with Thai food and exploring beautiful architecture—finding joy in those little adventures is totally my thing! I first met Briana and Braxton at a community event in our apartment complex when I was new to the area. Braxton introduced me, and we instantly hit it off.

One of my favorite memories with these two was a night of laughs when they helped me test out a financial game I created. They jumped right in, fully supporting my entrepreneurial spirit, and we all learned so much about each other. It’s been a joy watching their love story unfold, and I couldn’t be more excited to stand by their side as they celebrate this next chapter!

Hi! I’m Kelsey, and I’m so excited to be a bridesmaid in the wedding!

I met Bri through Tabatha’s Tea Party; a faith-based non-profit organization. From that moment on, I knew we’d be friends for life. She’s always had a flair for fresh kicks and styles them well with her dresses.

When I’m not creating art that brings smiles to people’s faces, I’m busy celebrating the amazing woman Bri is. It is truly a blessing to be a part of this wedding and I am excited. From the time that I have known Bri, she has been steadfast in allowing God to use her. God has been in the workings especially when it comes to her goals and dreams. I am excited to celebrate what God is doing.

Hi, I’m Tamara, one of the bridesmaids!

I love taking branding and product photos and writing metaphorical poems! I’m so grateful to be part of Briana’s special day! Briana and I met last year at an event and connected over our love for God! Time passed as our friendship continued to blossom, meeting Braxton officially in person, was when I had the honor of capturing him to declare his love to her, as he asked her to be his bride! It was an honor.

One of my favorite memories with Briana and Braxton is during their engagement photo shoot. Watching Braxton make Briana laugh and smile the most beautiful smile is a special memory. For Braxton, seeing him set up the proposal with Dante, in how he led her son was truly beautiful.

I'm excited to be a part of the wedding because I hope I can show Briana that I honor and love her in a way that shows I'm appreciative of our friendship and that she is worthy of love, kindness, and all that she gives to other people. From all that she has been through, being able to witness God's choice to love her unconditionally for the rest of their life is something I wouldn't miss!

Hi, I’m DJ, the best man!

Braxton and I have been friends since middle school. One of my favorite memories is the summer before 9th grade. We spent almost every day together, splitting our time between volunteering at the McWane Science Center and hanging out at Grandma Spencer’s house. The best part? Playing Need for Speed for hours in the basement. I probably only won about 10 out of 100 races, but that summer established an everlasting bond between us.

A fun fact about me is that I have played the drums since I was a kid. I’m excited to be part of the wedding, celebrating Braxton and Briana as they start this new chapter together. My guy is getting married! And I am more than thrilled/honored to be the best man and happy for both of them.

Hi, I'm Dante the bride's only son and one of the groomsmen. I love building unique things with Legos and gaming. I have known my mom since birth and Braxton for some years now. 

One of my favorite memories with them was when we all went to Chicago together for the first time some years ago. It was cold and a lot of walking, but we went to the museum, the bean, and the Lego store where I got a new set. Despite all the walking, we had fun. I am excited to be in the wedding because I get to walk my mom down the aisle and because she and Braxton are getting married.

I'm the groom's brother and a chemical engineer who’s always coming up with new inventions. Having known him his whole life, I have too many memories to pick just one. If we were ever up to no good, a car was probably involved. One unforgettable moment was when I took the old Datsun for a joyride, and it broke down. He had to come out and help me push it out of a ditch—we had a good laugh about it later!

Being part of my brother's wedding means a lot to me. Watching him step into this new chapter and celebrate his big day, I’m just happy to be there to support him and share in the excitement. I am also happy to gain a sister-in-law and nephew!

Hey, I’m Floyd, I'm one of the groomsmen.

I’m a huge anime lover—seriously, tell me what genres you like, and I’ll have a recommendation for you! I’ve had the honor of knowing Braxton since our freshman year at Auburn University. We’ve been through a lot together, and I couldn’t be more excited to stand by his side on his big day.

One of the funniest memories I have with Braxton is when he was obsessed with collecting Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I hadn’t played in years, so I decided to humor him and challenge him to a duel. Big mistake! Braxton mopped the floor with me, but I respect his dedication to collecting and organizing those cards. Being part of this wedding means a lot to me because I’ve seen Braxton search for his special person, and I’m beyond happy that he’s finally found his equal. I can’t wait to support my bro as he starts this new chapter of his romantic journey!

Hi, I'm Owen, one of the groomsmen.

I’m honored to be a groomsman for Braxton and Bri! A fun fact about me is that I enjoy writing poetry and philosophy, and I find peace in being outdoors in nature, especially at night. Bri is one of my wife’s best friends, and I met her about 10 years ago when my wife and I first started dating. I got to know Braxton during a double date at Barcelona Wine Bar, where we bonded over watches and anime. Since then, we’ve had so many great times together, full of laughs, meaningful conversations, and some epic game nights where I’ve loved kicking their butts!

Being included in Bri and Braxton’s wedding is truly an honor—it means so much to me that they’ve invited me to share in one of the most joyous days of their lives. I’m thrilled to celebrate their love, create even more cherished memories, and stand by them on this special occasion!

I’m passionate about all things creative. From card making to graphic design to creating t-shirts, if it’s crafty, I’ve probably tried it! Briana and I met through work, and it was one of those rare “when you know, you know” moments. I knew right away I had made a friend for life.

During a time when I felt insecure and vulnerable, Briana was the first person who truly saw me. It was like she understood my heart from the very beginning, and that connection will always hold a special place in my life. I’m so excited to celebrate with her and Braxton because I can’t think of two people more deserving of love and happiness. When two souls like theirs bring everyone together to celebrate, you know it’s going to be something special. I can’t wait to meet everyone!
