Wedding Party
Madyson Erpenbach
Matron of Honor
Madyson and Abi met on the first day of freshman orientation in high school. Almost 15 years of friendship! From awkward teenage years to late-night talks, school dances, and now weddings. They've been through it all together! Abi had the honor of being Maddy's Maid of Honor and now Maddy is returning the favor!
Wesley
Best Man
Wesley and Andrew have been close friends for over 12 years. Their bond was built on a shared love of video games, sci-fi, fantasy, and music—and has only grown stronger with time. Andrew had the honor of being Wesley’s best man in 2020, so it’s no surprise that Wesley was chosen as one of Andrew’s best men in return. Though we’re incredibly disappointed he won’t be at the wedding in person (lame), we couldn’t be prouder of him for serving our country. We know he’s with us in spirit, and we’re beyond grateful for his friendship and sacrifice.
Morgan Sowders
Bridesmaid
Morgan and Abi have quite literally known each other their entire life. Born on the same day, in the same year, they've truly grown up together. From birthday parties as kids to being bridesmaids in each other’s weddings, they've been like family every step of the way! Abi was honored to be a bridesmaid in Morgan’s wedding, and now feels so grateful to have Morgan as a bridesmaid in hers!
Jared Fradenburgh
Best Man
The friendship between Jared and Andrew spans over 15 years. Much like with Wesley, Andrew and Jared share a love of video games and music. With both of them being homeschooled together, Andrew and Jared were able to stay close through their years of middle school and high school. Andrew was honored to stand as a groomsman in Jared’s wedding, so it’s only fitting that Jared now stands by Andrew’s side as one of his best men.
Meghan Grabowski
Bridesmaid
Meghan is Andrew's older sister and has always been in his corner. Whether they lived in the same house, across the country, or just thirty minutes away Meghan as always been there to give Andrew advice or a laugh. It means a lot to both Abi and Andrew that Meghan is standing with Abi on their big day. They know she will bring laughter, support, and maybe a few embarrassing childhood stories to the celebration!
Jake Grabowski
Groomsman
As Andrew’s brother-in-law, Jake has known Andrew the longest of all the groomsmen. Growing up together in the same church, as well as both being homeschooled together, the number of times, events, and activities that the two of them have done together is far too many to count. As the older “brother” that Andrew never had, it is a no-brainer that he wants Jake to be there to support not just him, but Abi as well, on the most important day of their lives.
Jennifer Mayfield
Mother of the Bride
Abi’s mom, Jennifer, is the kind of presence every child is lucky to grow up with, graceful, strong, and endlessly supportive. She’s the one who taught Abi to love deeply, laugh often, and always carry an extra bobby pin. From helping her into her first dance recital costume to now helping her into her wedding dress, Jennifer has been by her side through every step and every tear, with unwavering love.
Dalton Partington
Groomsman
Dalton and Andrew met through Dalton’s wife, Eve, who originally discovered Andrew’s Twitch streams. Over the past few years, Dalton and Eve have become great friends with Andrew and his circle. In fact, Dalton and Eve’s wedding was the setting for Andrew and Abi’s second date! Andrew and Dalton also share a love of NASCAR—though they don’t always agree on their favorite drivers.
Mary Cox
Mother of the Groom
Andrew’s mom, Mary, is the kind of supporter every child dreams of having. Her unwavering love and patience, especially throughout the many years of homeschooling, have left a lasting impact on Andrew and helped shape the person he is today. Mary also passed down a deep love of music, a tradition she inherited from her own father. It’s a passion she and Andrew continue to share, and that Andrew and Abi look forward to passing on to the next generation.
Greg Cox
Father of the Groom
Greg, known to some as “Ned”, has been a constant source of love and support throughout Andrew’s life. He’s one of the most genuine and funniest people you’ll ever meet, and a role model Andrew has looked up to for as long as he can remember. Greg’s passion for racing, especially NASCAR, is well known, and it’s a love he passed on to Andrew. Fun fact: that love of racing actually played a part in Andrew and Abi meeting in the first place!
