Ashley & Austin
Wedding Party
Collytte Medders
Matron of Honor
Collytte and I met at Indian Land Elementary School in the 3rd grade. We have been stuck together ever since. After high school, we went to USC Aiken together, and rushed the same sorority. I was just her Maid of Honor in April, and we have planned both weddings at the same time!
Taylor Kujawa
Maid of Honor
Taylor and I met at USC Aiken when we both were in the same sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi. We didn’t hit it off right away. In fact, it was over a year before we began to talk to each other. After becoming roommates junior year, we became the best of friends!
AnnaGrace Mattox
Bridesmaid
AG and I were randomly selected to be suite-mates freshman year at USC Aiken. By the end of the first week of classes, we were inseparable. Anna Grace’s bubbly personality lights up any room she walks in!
Emily Cook
Bridesmaid
Emily and I met on my first day of college. When I rushed, Emily became my “big” sister. Emily made college the best experience possible for me!
Kelsey Massey
Bridesmaid
Kelsey is my older sister. When Kelsey and I were kids, we took fighting to a whole new level! Luckily, we’ve grown so close over the years, and I cannot imagine not having my big sister there.
Skylar Moore
Bridesmaid
Skylar is the cousin of the groom. When deciding on bridesmaids, I did not question the thought of having my future cousin-in-law as part of our big day.
Megan Smith
Bridesmaid
Megan and I have grown closer over the last year since she is always with my sister. When I decided to ask a seventh person, there was no question on who I was asking!
Brian Gordon
Best Man
Brian is the father and best man of the groom. Their father-son relationship is so much more than that, they are best friends. Brian is so excited to stand by his son when he marries his high school sweetheart.
Shea Rodgers
Groomsman
Shea and Austin played football together at Indian Land High School, and Newberry College. Shea has watched our relationship grow since high school.
Anisty Craven
Groomswoman
Anisty and the groom met freshman year at Newberry College. Anisty’s spunk helps level out Austin’s cool and collectiveness. The idea of a groomswoman seemed silly at first, but Austin knew he had to have his best friend by him during his big day!
Meeko Barjona
Groomsman
Austin and Meeko’s friendship go back to middle school. Although Meeko has lived across the country for years, Austin knew he had to have one of his childhood best friends by his side at the wedding.
Sean Smith
Groomsman
Austin and Sean met at Newberry College while playing football. Although they live far away from each other, Austin knew he wanted Sean as a groomsman at his wedding.
AJ Gordon
Groomsman
AJ is Austin’s older brother. Although they’re complete opposites, Austin knew he wanted his brother by him on his big day.
Austin Threatt
Ring Bearer
Austin Threatt is Ashley’s nephew. When we had to decide who would carry the rings, there was no hesitation on who it would be!
Hudson Gordon
Ring Bearer
During the wedding planning process, along came Austin’s first nephew, Hudson. We knew we had to have him as a second ring bearer at the wedding.
Harlyn Pickard
Flower Girl
Harlyn is a distant cousin of the bride. Harlyn will only be a year old and she will still be the cutest flower girl!
