Wedding Party
Abigail Valentin
Bride
Phillip Lamma
Groom
Haley Padilla
Matron of Honor
Hiya! I'm Haley, I am 28 and I’m lucky enough to have been married to my husband, Ace, for 4 wonderful years. We share our home in Fredericksburg, VA, with Louie, our cuddly 8-year-old mini poodle, and Marley, our curious 3-year-old grey tabby cat. But my most special title? Proud big sister to our beautiful bride, Abigail Louise. Growing up, Abby and I were inseparable—we’d stay up way past bedtime playing dress-up and taking on every role imaginable, from running our own classroom to walking down the aisle... of the playroom, laughing until we decided our “work” was done, our mess was big enough, and we were worn out… eventually drifting off to sleep mid-sentence. I can’t wait to stand by her side as she says “I do!”

My friendship with Phillip actually started because I thought he was bullying me

Hi! My name is Jessica Armentrout. I’m a full time momma to a wonderfully cheeky little man and a part time bookkeeper, artist, and marketing designer. Our days are never dull! Phillip is my “little” brother (even though he is much taller than me these days) and I am so grateful he has found love with Abigail and so grateful to have her as a sister! Needless to say, I am STOKED for this wedding!! 🥰

Callan Drenkhahn
Bridesmaid
Hello there! My name is Callan and I’m Abigail’s oldest sister, and it means so much to stand beside her as a bridesmaid on such a special day. I’d also like to proudly say that my three children—Ryder and Maddox as ushers, and Marnie as the flower girl—get to be part of this celebration too. We are all so truly honored and thrilled! When Abigail was in high school, I was living in Texas with my husband and our firstborn. Even from far away, we stayed closely connected through FaceTime calls and endless texts. We talked about everything—friendships, dance, school, dreams of becoming a nurse, and show hauls from recent shopping trips. I’d often sit and talk with her for hours while she did her homework and I folded laundry, sharing life in the simplest, most meaningful ways. Watching Abigail grow into the woman she is today has been such a gift, and seeing her find love with Phillip fills my heart. I am beyond happy for them and cannot wait to be there to support and celebrate them on this incredibly special day.

Hi my name is Joshua Roudabush. I’ve know Phillip since 7th grade and we’ve been very close friends since then. I remember when we were young living back in the middle of nowhere riding the bus to school and just talking and playing games till we got to school and that’s how we became close. Phillip is like having a little brother even though he is older than me and you can tell he is a little just after meeting him. He’s an amazing friend and I congratulate the two lover birds and hope they have the best marriage and wish the best for both of them.
Adam Gibbs
Bridesman
Hi everyone, my name is Adam Gibbs. I’m 26 years old and a chemist in Virginia Beach. I first met Abigail in our high school chemistry class at Cox High School. Little did I know asking the random girl sitting behind me for the answers to our homework assignment would lead to the best friendship I’ve ever had. Since that moment Abigail has always been the most caring, sincere, genuine, and best person I’ve known. When she first told me about Phillip, being her best friend, I was skeptical . They FaceTimed every night in the summer of 2020 and she wouldn’t shut up about him whenever we would hang out. The next fall I transferred to JMU and I got to meet Phillip at Abigail’s birthday party which he threw for her. Immediately after knowing him for one night, I knew that he was going be the one for her. When she asked me to be apart of her wedding I knew there was only one right answer to give her and that was yes.

Phillip or as my dad likes to call him Felipe and I have been friends for almost 10 years now. He has always been a kind and humble soul. I’ve always admired his sweet demeanor, his compassion, and service for others. Throughout all these years, these things have never changed in all the things we have done together. From the classroom, to playing soccer, to working together as delivery drivers, to hanging out with friends, Phillip truly is a pleasure to be around and I am so blessed to be able to call him my friend. My favorite memories with Phillip will always be from our beach week trip to Myrtle beach after high school. We were roommates and let’s just say we were the wild ones. I will also always cherish our many long nights of Super Smash Bros during the height of the pandemic. Phillip has also been a good friend to my parents so at this point, we love him like family. I’m so happy to be part of his special day and so elated to know that he is marrying the love of his life. Abigail is one lucky girl.
