Bridesmaids

Allison Alexander

Maid of Honor

Allie has been my best friend for over a decade after first meeting at FBC Vivian in the youth group. We graduated from both high school and college together and now Allie is an Emergency Room Nurse in Ruston. We have shared plenty of late-night study sessions, sonic dates, and beach trips. She has always listened when I needed a friend and I am so excited to have her stand by my side on my wedding day.

Emily Taylor

Bridesmaid

Emily was my first friend and we have been close ever since. We made so many memories together through the years! I am so glad that I had her through out all of my childhood and now into adulthood. No matter the distance, we have managed to stay close. She is currently studying Civil Engineering at Louisiana State University. I am so happy to have her as a part of my wedding day.

Bethany Gaddie

Bridesmaid

Bethany and I met in piano class our freshman year of high school and have been best friends ever since. She is the reason that I met Paul, strategically placing us together at her own wedding. I am so thankful for her friendship and all the memories that we have made since high school. She currently is living in Georgia with her Husband, Nathan. I am so glad that she is a part of my wedding party!

Amelia Clifton

Bridesmaid

We have been best friends pretty much since Amelia was born. We grew up going to church together and both go to ULM together. She is in Nursing School and plans on working at LSU Ochsners in the MICU after she graduates in December. Amelia is the mom of the friend group and makes sure that we are always taken care of at all times. She enjoys going to Sonic and loving on her neph-dogs.

G

Gabrielle Trahan

Bridesmaid

Gabby and I met through her future husband, Cameron during a class at ULM. It was definitely fate that we became friends, but I am so glad that I have had her through out college. She is working her way to becoming a medical doctor, but is currently a high school biology teacher. I am so glad that she is a part of my wedding day!

Groomsmen

Cole Shamburg

Best Man

Cole is my younger brother and right hand man. We have done everything together since we were kids. Cole is studying Wildlife and Forestry at Louisiana Tech in hopes of one day becoming a Game Warden. It is a perfect fit for him given that he only ever thinks of hunting, fishing, and being outside. I am happy to have him by my side on this special day and hope to one day return the favor.

Connor Shamburg

Groomsman

Connor is my older brother and left hand man. He is someone who is always looking to help those in need and will do whatever it takes to have a good time. He works in construction with my Father and is one of the most determined and hard working people you will see. He is also the peace keeper between the siblings and makes sure to step in the way during an argument or fight.

Nathan Gaddie

Groomsman

Nathan and I have been friends form the time I was born. He is the reason that I got to meet Kathryn and I am forever grateful for that. He is currently stationed in Georgia for the Air Force and is a navigator for sonar planes. We don't often get to see each other, but it is always like a family reunion when we do.

Adam Craig

Groomsman

Adam is one of Kathryn's best friends and has been since they started high school. They graduated high school, Army basic training, and college together. I am excited to have him as a part of our wedding party.

J

Jack Henson

Groomsman

Jack and I became friends in 7th grade during Mrs. Allen's Algebra 1 class when he thought I was a genius for getting one hundreds on every test. He didn't know this but I had already taken the same class the previous year and remembered how to do everything. Jack is currently studying Ranch Management at Texas Tech and is fond of playing and writing music. He wrote a song titled "Katie" for his girlfriend Katie that is being produced by Dalton Domino.

Dylan LeBoeuf

Usher

When I first met Kathryn she was my peer leader in my ULM 101 Class. Little did I know our friendship would evolve into something lifelong! She fooled me for a month until she revealed to me that she was my Honors mentor, sealing our friendship for the long run. After countless hours of mentoring, ice cream talks, and even Oozeball, she was always their for me! Kathryn always brighten my day, and she would always tell me how happy Paul made her. I know that the love they have for each other is like a fairytale, and hopefully I can be as supportive and loving to my wife as they are too each other. Kathryn helped me get into pharmacy school, where I plan on getting my dual PharmD and MPA. Thanks to her guidance, I know I have a bright future ahead of me! I am looking at different areas in pharmacy in the hospital setting. Cheers to Kathryn and Paul!!

Davis Gallagher

Usher

Kathryn and I met each other during a Junior Achievement meeting in high school and decided to get dinner that night and ever since she has been one of my closest friends. She is the person who convinced me to come to ULM. We have shared so many fun and amazing experiences, like our trips to music festivals and the reenactment of the civil war with marshmallows for a history project. She is one of the most inspirational and caring people that I know and wish her and Paul nothing but the best for the future.
