\n Being children of the modern day and age, our story began with\n venturing onto Tinder. As hesitant as one of us was to engage\n herself with a complete stranger online (while the other happily\n explored with enthusiasm) on our first date it soon became apparent\n that we met the natural occurrences when 2 people meet and all\n feelings of the unknown disappeared because at that moment right in\n front of me I was meeting my best friend. As the cliche tale goes,\n the rest is history.\n
\n\n The ceremony will start at 5pm on the vista in front of the Historic\n Beadel House at Tall Timbers. Parking is available both to the right\n and the left of the fork in the road.

\n\n Mary Mack's sister and partner in crime since 1993. Sophie is\n best known for her sharp wit, her hilarious misadventures, being\n quick to laugh, toilet naps, and for her love and support as the\n most wonderful sister - I would truly be lost without her.\n Pro-tip: If she seems aggressive or angry, try feeding her\n first.\n
\n\n Kelly was an undergraduate classmate of Rusty's who moved to\n Tallahassee to pursue her Master's degree in Anthropology at FSU\n shortly after we started dating. We instantly became friends and\n have shared clothes, laughs, and hangovers; she has been my\n sister in Tallahassee for the past 4 years. She can be\n identified by her contagious laugh, her welcoming nature, and\n fabulous hair. She has a completely justified aversion to Gin\n Slushsies (thanks Hurricane Hermine), her dance moves, and her\n ability to rap every word to most Childish Gambino songs. She is\n married to bridesman Andrew Chase, and we're so lucky that they\n live right down the street from us!\n
\n\n Ryan is one of the many beloved \"Gray cousins\" who is closest to\n my age. We navigated high school and college together and still\n fall apart laughing over stories from that time. She shares my\n love of trashy reality tv and we often finish the other’s\n thoughts. She is known for her ability to find a discount on\n anything, her charisma, her sass, and her ability to turn any\n stranger into a friend.\n
\n\n I met Sarah and her partner Shawn on a now-infamous tubing trip\n for Kelly's birthday, and I have not known a moment of peace\n since. An archaeologist, when Sarah isn't traveling for work she\n can most often be found either pranking or feeding us. She is\n also known for affectionately calling every pet \"Choochie\", wild\n karaoke performances, and her ability to become instant friends\n with everyone she meets. She is a daily ray of sunshine in our\n lives.\n
\n\n Kevin and I went to high school together but became much closer\n when I moved to Tallahassee for work. Kevin was kind enough to\n take me under his wing when I was a new Tallahasseean and one\n could argue he's the reason I even met Rusty...my initial job\n contract was for 3 months, but Kevin repeatedly encouraged me to\n stay in town rather than take off to less exciting places like\n Hawaii and Arizona. Legend has it Kevin has never met a neutral\n paint palette he doesn't like and he single-handedly brought\n suspenders back into the 21st century.\n
\n\n Andrew is the first friend I made it Tallahassee. He also works\n at Tall Timbers where his main job is burning the whole place\n down (literally). Despite his manly appearance, he is quite shy\n at first. He is known for his love of Miller Lite, Led Zeppelin,\n pyromania, brute strength and generosity. Originally from\n Boston, he shows no outward signs of the characteristic cold\n Northern persona, but his wicked accent often comes out late\n into the night.\n
\n\n Duane (aka Duke) met Rusty in the Army and they served together\n in Iraq. Once they got back to the States, they set out on many\n more adventures, including enrolling in college and joining a\n fraternityHe eventually rejoined the Army, but was sure to visit\n in between his numerous deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.\n He's known for being the life of the party and is always on the\n go. Just know that when you accompany him on an errand, you\n never know where you might end up.\n
\n\n Ritchie is Rusty's little brother! He joined Rusty down in\n Tallahassee years ago after attending college up in Tennessee.\n Ritchie is an artist, taking heavily after their father. He\n loves cooking and fishing, but excels at writing. You'll know\n Ritchie by his stylish ‘stache and his unrivaled \"cool\"\n demeanor.\n
\n\n Ol Hutt met Rusty when they joined the fraternity. After Duke\n left Rusty and Hutt to go back to War, they figured they ought\n to stay in school. They moved out of the frat house, settled in\n a nice home, and finished their science degrees. Hutt found his\n way back to Rusty and moved to Florida a couple of years ago.\n Just look for the groomsman in a ball cap and you'll find Hutt.\n
\n\n Richard is Rusty's oldest friend. They met in the 5th grade and\n had many great years all throughout their coming of age. They\n started out playing soccer and went on to work several jobs\n together. When Rusty moved down to Florida from Tennessee,\n Richard rode along and helped him find a place. Not only did\n Richard help Rusty move in, but he also helped find friends! If\n you see Richard out there, you can call him Dick Dick.\n
\n\n Josh was Rusty's favorite roommate and best friend here in\n Tallahassee. While needing a place to stay, Rusty moved in with\n Josh before they even met. They've spent many hours hunting and\n fishing along the Florida coast and have even been lost out to\n sea together. Josh recently started a family and welcomed a\n healthy young American to this world. You'll find Josh sporting\n tie dye and a cop stache.\n
\n\n Rusty and Evan met while having wild conversations over a\n neighboring fence. He is a master conversationalist and will\n never leave you unamused. Although Evan and Josh were already\n best friends, they welcomed me into their fold and we roomed\n with each other for years. Evan then went out West to be a land\n man. This past year, Evan found his way back to Florida and has\n been here in quarantine ever since. So give him a big hug for\n me.\n
\n\n Ryan is Sophie’s fiance and we are so excited to be creating a\n new extended family with him. He is an avid reader, skier, and\n sports enthusiast and is always up for anything. Eternally\n upbeat, jovial, and warm, if you’re looking for Ryan the dance\n floor is a good place to start.\n
