Wedding Party
Addison Benham
Matron of Honor
There’s so much I could say about Addison, I hardly know where to start. We’ve been best friends since the fifth grade. The two new kids in school who found each other when we needed a friend the most. She was the first person to talk to me, and that one act of kindness sparked a friendship that’s lasted a lifetime. We were so inseparable that our parents didn’t ground us from our phones; they grounded us from each other. Addison has been there for every teenage fling, every messy breakup, armed with (brutally) honest advice, hugs, and a stash of candy or ice cream. From playground secrets to late-night soul talks, she's been my rock, my biggest cheerleader, and the definition of chosen family. Her loyalty is unwavering, her laughter is infectious, and her heart is pure gold. She’s my person, the one who held the place of soul mate and kept it warm for the man she always knew would come along, even when I was convinced he didn't exist. Having her by my side on this day feels like the perfect full-circle moment.
Kody Keough
Best Man
There is so much I could say about Kody, but words could never fully describe how much he means to me. I have known Kody for over 25 years, and throughout those years we have established a friendship like no other. I consider Kody a brother, a mentor, and someone I can turn to whenever I need anything. We have had our ups and downs, but those moments only made our friendship and brotherhood stronger. It has been a joy to watch my brother become a father to two beautiful boys. I hope that someday I will be as good of a dad as he is to his sons. Kody is part of the reason I am the man I am today. Without his support and his willingness to push me to succeed, I don’t know where I would be. I would take a bullet for Kody, and I know he would do the same for me if the situation ever arose. I look forward to having Kody stand by my side on my wedding day, helping to welcome my beautiful wife into our family.
Chelsey Mikuleza
Maid of Honor
Cousins by blood, sisters by choice. Chelsey has been one of the most constant sources of support in my life since childhood. Ironically, we couldn’t stand each other at first, but fate had other plans. Our shared love for Charmed brought us together, and from that moment on, we’ve been inseparable. Chelsey is my ultimate adventure buddy always up for a concert, a sports event, or a comic con, especially if it means hitting the road. We’ve built a lifetime of incredible memories, and there’s no way I’d say “I do” without her standing beside me.
Ryan Williams
Groomsman
Ryan is a perfect example of a selfless person. He has dedicated his life to serving and protecting others in the U.S. military, and for that I will always be grateful. Our friendship goes far beyond me simply being thankful for his service to our country. Ryan was partially raised by my great grandma, which is where our friendship first began. There was never a dull moment when Ryan and I were together. My grandma would always say we were going to give her a heart attack. We knew that when my grandma said “Charlie,” something serious was about to happen. After all these years, Ryan and I have remained close friends. I’m extremely excited for him to be standing by my side, just as I once stood by his when he married his wife. Ryan will always be a great friend and brother to me.
Meagan Watson
Bridesmaid
Meagan knows every childhood secret I’ve tried to bury and still loves me anyway. We became sisters when we were just three and four years old. From the start, she was the clever one, masterminding trouble, and I was the wide-eyed accomplice who took on the dares… and the consequences. Like most younger sisters, it took me a while to truly appreciate the bond we shared. I was lucky to grow up with a sister who let me sleep on her bedroom floor for a week after I watched a movie that scared me senseless. Who showed up every time I knocked on our shared wall, even when she knew I was just being annoying. Who taught me how to be sneaky, and who got snitched on when I inevitably got caught. For every fight and every punishment I endured on her behalf, the love and laughter always outweighed it all. There’s nothing like the bond between siblings. It evolves from learning and growing together as kids, to clashing and carving out space in our teens, and finally, to standing shoulder to shoulder as we get married and raise families of our own. My wedding party wouldn't be complete without her!
Alejandro Jarillo
Groomsman
A lot of words come to mind when describing Alex. He is a go getter, the life of the party, and an all-around good human being. I see so many similar characteristics between him and me. I’ve known Alex for over 25 years, and throughout those years we have remained close friends. He is another person I consider a brother. Alex has been an important person in my life, helping me navigate through difficult times and vice versa. If I ever needed anything, Alex would be willing to give the shirt off his back to help me. That’s just the type of guy he is. Alex is a fine example of what being a good father looks like. I’m extremely proud to call him my brother and groomsman.
Chelsea Ray
Bridesmaid
Chelsea and I crossed paths a few times through mutual friends, but it wasn’t until we discovered our shared love for Charmed and all things Disney that the “magic” truly began. Our connection didn’t spark instantly. It wasn’t until the world slowed down during the pandemic that our bond really began to develop. I’ve always believed that everything happens for a reason, and Chelsea entering my life when she did felt nothing short of kismet. From the moment our friendship began, I knew it was one that would last a lifetime. Chelsea is the best kind of friend, the kind who tells it like it is. She won’t sugarcoat the truth or tell you what you want to hear, but she’ll always give you what you need to hear. She’s the one with an inappropriate joke ready at just the right moment, and the one who shows up when life gets messy. We’ve gone through so much together, and through it all, her love and support have helped shape me into the woman I am today. She’s truly one of a kind. A friend by chance, a sister by choice, and forever.
Tracey Travis
Groomsman
Many words could be used to describe Tracey! Tracey is a kind and soft-spoken individual, but don’t let that fool you. Tracey also loves to have a good time. Tracey has been my boy for most of his life. I always tried to look after him as if her were my little brother and tried to be sure to set a good example. I must've been a good influence, because his favorite football team is also the Philadelphia Eagles! Tracey has become a hell of a man and someone I can look up to. He is also a damn fine cook. This boy can grill better than anyone I know! I think I could learn a thing or two from him now. I’ll never forget the fun times we had playing Ninja Turtles and Def Jam. Those were some of the best memories. I look forward to having Tracey by my side as I take these next steps in this wonderful thing we call life and creating even more memories to cherish.
Alexandria Moussette
Bridesmaid
Alex welcomed me with open arms from the moment we met. Our first family dinner was at Tres Caminos, and I was incredibly nervous about meeting everyone. Alex was the first to arrive, and she immediately put me at ease, walking right up to me and wrapping me in the warmest hug, as if I'd always been part of the family. It didn’t take long for us to realize how much we have in common, and in that moment, I knew she was the sister I had always needed. She is a truly beautiful person, inside and out, with a heart full of kindness…A TRUE girls girl. I am beyond grateful to call her my sister and honored to have her standing beside me on our wedding day. I couldn't imagine this day without her!
Corey Mahan
Groomsman
Corey and I have been great friends for over 25 years. He is a selfless person who dedicated part of his life to helping others by serving in the military. People who don’t know him might think he’s a quiet guy, but once you get to know him, he’s a blast! Part of the reason we get along so well is because we have a lot in common. We both love sports and video games, and many people consider us nerds. Corey is also an amazing husband and father that I look up to. I am honored to have Corey by my side.
