Hi, I’m Jessie, Maid of Honor and Amanda’s oldest sibling. Obviously, I have known Amanda since the day she was born. She has always been such a sweet and kind person with a beautiful heart! I am super proud to call her my little sister! Like much of the bridal party, I am also a Pappas alumni and loved working along side my sister! When Amanda met Michael, it was clear they had something special between them. Michael is her other half, and I am thrilled to finally get to call him my brother-in-law! I am so proud of all they have accomplished together. I love them both, and I feel truly blessed to be a part of their special day!

Katy Conley - Bridesmaid
Hello, I’m Katy! I’m one of Amanda’s sisters, I met her a long, long time ago… I remember the day clearly. It was a late summer afternoon, 1990. It was a warm day. She was always the sweetest child. Yes, yes… she was a keeper!! As is Michael! However, the day I met him… is not as clear. But we decided to keep him anyway! He must have done right that day whenever it was. So, I’m so happy that that warm day, and that not so clear day, can come together for many more good days! Jokes aside, I love these two so much and believe they are perfect for one another. Cheers to the amazing couple!

Meet Sommer, the fun-loving older sister of the groom and proud member of the bridal squad! Though she may have teased her brother mercilessly as kids, their bond has only grown stronger over the years.
Now a doting mom to the groom and bride’s adorable nieces, who will be stealing hearts as flower girls, Sommer couldn’t be happier about Michael and Amanda tying the knot. Amanda’s been like a sister to her for years, fitting right into the family dynamic.
Ashley Sandidge - Bridesmaid
I met Amanda when she started working at Delta Blues, even though I did not work there. She became friends with my friends, and while I did homework at the bar while they closed, we quickly discovered that we had a lot in common. And the rest is history! I’m so lucky to count both Amanda and Michael as my friends and I’m very excited for them as they enter their marriage era. Cheers to them and their future!
Hannah Trousdale - Bridesmaid
Many years, cheers, and beers ago, I remember the first day I met amanda. We were training behind the bar at Pappas Seafood House to open up Delta Blues and I knew instantly I met someone special and we were going to be life long friends. Amanda and Michael share a fierce love that can weather any storm, and conquer any challenge. I am truly honored and blessed to know each of them and thankful I get to be a part of their special day!

We grew to be close friends and I definitely consider her family ❤️. She is a caring, fun, understanding, ride or die kind of person. Being friends with Amanda of course I met Michael! I’m glad I did, he is so smart, adventurous, loving and an amazing father. I’m so glad that these two are finally tying the knot! They are getting married now but those two have been there for each other for all the ups and downs that life throws at you. Now they get to say husband and wife 😉.

Thomas Cordes - Groomsman/Officiant
Hey there, my name is Thomas Cordes and I’m lucky enough to be Michael and Amanda’s Officiant. I’ve known Amanda for nearly 8 years now, and Michael for 5. Upon meeting Amanda, she became one of my favorite coworkers, and shortly afterwards a great friend. Despite the fact that he is constantly trying to fight me, Michael is a dear friend as well. Michael is a rock of consistency for not only Amanda, but everyone whose life he touches. I consider myself blessed to have a small part to play in the celebration of their love.
