Aly & Aaron
Wedding Party
Melissa Brinkley Churchill
Matron of Honor
Sister of the bride, best friend for life. My loving Meli is my go-to person for everything. I am so thankful to have a sister that I can look up to like I do sweet Meli!
Brandon Queen
Best Man
Brother of the Groom, partner in crime.
Miranda Powell
Bridesmaid
The Brides bestie from High School. So many memories! She also lived down the road from Aaron with her Sister Tessa (also a bridesmaid) when they were little and all played together in the neighborhood. So cute!
Camden Young
Groomsman
Aaron and "Cam" met when they were little and played outside together for countless hours at his grandparents house in Valdese. Aaron says they used to get into all kinds of trouble outside... these days they are still seeing what kind of trouble they can get into (mostly on the weekends). Cam is engaged to Miriam (bridesmaid) and the bride and groom don't usually do anything without making sure they are invited.
Sierra Smart
Bridesmaid
Roomies from College turned friends for life! Aly and Sierra had mutual friends and got paired together after not liking their first roommates that year.. it was just meant to be.
Austin Bradshaw
Groomsman
College friend and husband of Tessa who is a bridesmaid. Austin and Tessa have a 1 year old boy, Charlie, who we hope loves baby Jack so one day they can be just as good of friends as we all are.
Natalie Penny
Bridesmaid
Aly met Natalie at the gym in college. We started hanging out through mutual friends and soon we were almost inseparable.
Bradley McCurdy
Groomsman
Friends since middle school. Aaron and Bradley are brothers at heart- along with Ben Schultz. Their mamas are "mamas" to all three of them! Ben could not join us for the wedding due to his wife having a baby but I'm sure Aaron and Bradley will make sure their brother knows he is missed.
Katie Rutter
Bridesmaid
Another college friend turned bestie. I guess we just got super lucky to meet so many awesome people in school, right?! Katie lives in Charlotte now and is always sure to keep in touch. Always a good conversation and good times with this sweet girl.
Brandon "Freshie" Matuszyk
Groomsman
The bride and groom met this Brandon (so weird for us to call him that).. you guessed it.. in college. We always called him Freshie because he was the only freshman in Aarons group of friends... and he will always be Freshie. We both love him dearly!
Miriam Hudson
Bridesmaid
Fiance to Camden (Groomsman). We met her when we started hanging out with Cam as a couple and how could you not love her? Mimi works at Baxter with the bride but they rarely ever see each other at work since they work different shifts. Don't worry we make up for it by trying to hangout almost every week.
Aaron Chopp
Groomsman
We met Chopp (yes, everyone calls him that) at the gym in college. He's got to be one of the most lovable people you will ever meet. He doesn't live close, but he an Aaron keep in touch. He and Aaron share a deep love for movies and random movie knowledge.
Sommer Mosteller Brinkley
Bridesmaid
The brides sweet sister-in-law. Sommer is married to Brent Brinkley and they have 2 awesome kids- Kody and Kara. We are so lucky that Brent met this sweet girl years ago! I couldnt imagine a more perfect person for not only him, but for the whole family. You are so loved!
Ben Charlet
Groomsman
"How did you meet Ben?" from the groom: "Valdese Football baby". Ben is a great friend and truly a good time to have around.
Tessa Bradshaw
Bridesmaid
Sister of Miranda (bridesmaid), Husband of Austin (Groomsman)- no wonder our friend group feels like family! We love them like family too. Its impossible to be in a bad mood around Tessa- she is always happy and its so contagious.
Tucker Beck
Groomsman
Another Valdese Football teammate- Go Tigers. Tucker took Aaron to his first NFL football game and he learned a great joke from Carl Beck that day... feel free to ask him about it later! P.S. Tucker is also an eligible bachelor and we will take applications for dates.
Lauren Beck
Bridesmaid
By the time Lauren gets to join us she will be a married woman to Mr. Hayden Beck (Groomsman)! YAY! Laurens best attribute is the genuine kindness she has for everyone.. seriously everyone. She is such a bright light in our lives.
Hayden Beck
Groomsman
Hayden is little brother to Tucker (groomsman) and soon-to-be hubby to Lauren (bridesmaid). Did you think we were kidding when we said our friend group was like family? Aaron met Hayden playing Valdese football and has fond memories of playing game cube with him for hours. Spoiler alert.. they didn't grow out of that.. its just Xbox now.
Heather Copeland
Bridesmaid
So much I could say about sweet Heather! She is a teacher and totally has the heart of gold for it. We met in college and have become closer over the years even though she still lives in Waynesville, NC. She also happens to be sister to Mrs. Lauren Beck (also a bridesmaid).
Chance Sigmon
Groomsman
One of the grooms besties. We're always happy to have Chance around. From the groom: "Murderball champions for life".
Kylea Churchill
Bridesmaid
Junior bridesmaid and niece of the Bride. Kylea is such a joy to be around. So smart and sweet!
Connor Brinkley
Groomsman
Our Junior Groomsman and oldest son. We are so proud of you and love that we get to share our day with you!
Evey Churchill
Flower Girl
Evey you are going to be the sweetest little flower girl! She always keeps us on our toes and I can’t wait to see her on wedding day!
Korbin Churchill
Ring Bearer
Our little ring security! He’s the perfect guy for the job. So adorable. We love him so much and are so glad this little ball of energy can help us tie the knot.
