Wedding Party
Mary Grace
Maid of Honor
I don’t know my life without Ansley in it and our relationship has taken shape over the past few years in meaningful ways. She’s not just my cousin but she’s like the sister I never had. Being included in her wedding and standing beside her on such an important day truly means the world to me. It’s special to celebrate her happiness and support her as she begins this next chapter as a wife, and I’m so grateful to be part of it!
Ian
Best Man
My name is Ian and I have the honor of being the Best Man for my brother Zach. As Zach’s younger brother, I have had the privilege of watching him grow into the man he is today. From life advice, to conversations over video games, Zach has always been a person I can call on. Congratulations Zach and Ansley!
Sandy
Matron of Honor
One morning I woke up to a message on instagram from a girl I had no mutual connections with and she was asking to hang out. It turns out our brothers were at a lacrosse game together and our families had met. The first time me and Ansley met, I immediately knew we’d be close. From the all the times spent in kens, happy hours at township, sleepovers, to the bachelorette trips and weddings, to the times spent watching you around my girls, the memories are endless.
Nick
Groomsman
Hello! I’m Nick. Even though Zach and I went to high school just a few years apart, I didn’t properly meet him until our first day of paramedic school. That hair, that charming smile - it was love at first sight. For the next few years we supported each other through school, internships, and new careers. Friday nights out turned into pharmacology quizzes, and eventually those turned into running so many laps around the training tower that one of us broke a leg. Through all those years, we laughed and cried together. We saw the best and worst of each other. But Zach was always an incredible friend who would do anything for the ones he loves. Seeing him fall head over heels for Ansley was all the proof I needed to know that she was the real deal. I am beyond excited to see their love grow and for the next step in their amazing journey together.
McKenna
Bridesmaid
The bride and I met sophomore year of high school in art class, and nearly 15 years later, our friendship has grown through every season and phase of life. We both became nurses, taking different paths—me at USC and her at FSU—but always remaining close and supporting each other along the way. I’m so honored to stand beside her as she begins this next chapter.
Amir
Groomsman
Howdy! My name is Amir and I’m proud to say Zach has tolerated me long enough to become close friends. We first met in college and somehow that turned into us being roommates and housemates. Zach was and still is a perfect roommate and housemate, except for the hair. The blow dryer story will be shared for another time. Zach is the kind of friend who shows up, no matter what, and I’m genuinely grateful for him. Seeing the way he loves and supports Ansley is really special. Their journey together is just beginning, and it’s been incredible to witness. May this be the start of a story that only gets more beautiful with time.
Hailee
Bridesmaid
Hi everyone! My name is Hailee and I am so lucky to call Ansley one of my best friends. Ansley & I first met at work and have worked both night shift and day shift together. Our coworkers know that we sometimes spend more time laughing than we do working, but we both love our profession of nursing. Ansley and I truly have such a special bond. We are always there for each other when needed, and I seriously don’t know what I would do without her. The love that Ansley and Zach share is so inspiring and I am so honored to stand beside them on their special day!
Vlad
Groomsman
I want to take this joyous moment in Zach’s life to thank him for being such incredible person and lifelong friend. I can confidently say that I was able to share some of my favorite life moments with Zach and our friendship means the world to me. From playing Chel in his garage, to new years in Chicago, running with the bulls in Spain with Michael, going to the F1 race in Austin, exploring Cuba with Scott, and fly fishing during the madness of Covid, and getting on the ice together to play hockey. We have done so many incredible things together and I couldn’t imagine doing it with anyone else. I am very excited for Zach’s new adventures with the love of his life,Ansley, and sharing a happy life together.
Lexie
Bridesmaid
Hi! My name is Alexis Evie, and I’m also proud to say that Ansley has somehow tolerated me long enough for us to become best friends. For those who don’t know me well, I am extremely Type B compared to the happy couple, who are both very much Type A. By sharing that fun fact, you can better understand what Ansley (and later Zach) have put up with while navigating my beautifully chaotic life. But on December 5th 2022, Ansley and I were both baby nurses, starting on the exact same day as we officially entered the adult world. Just a couple of days later during an educational class, I forced Ansley to be my friend (and yes I mean forced but that’s for another time). From that point, we have been through everything together. Long stretches of night shifts (now day shift), martinis at Nona Blue, girls trips, TPCs, concerts, jags games, beach days, now to the point of getting her married. I am so incredibly happy to stand by you on one of the most important days of your life, and even happier that you found your person. And when Ansley called me after she got back from London and said, “I met my husband at the airport,” my immediate response was, “You’re a d*** liar.” But look at us now, so Zach you are pretty cool too.
Parker
Groomsman
Hello! I’m Parker, and I’ve been lucky enough to call Zach a close friend since our college days. That said, our true story began after graduation, when we moved into a house with Amir. What could have been a depressing lock-in during covid, instead turned into many shared adventures—turning the living room into a ping-pong arena, the kitchen into a Nerf battleground, and the TV room into the headquarters for endless Call of Duty nights. But we do NOT bring up the hair dryer! All jokes aside, I couldn’t be happier for Zach and Ansley as they start this journey together. Cheers to the bride and groom!
Nellie
Bridesmaid
Hi everyone! My name is Nellie and I am so blessed to know both of these wonderful people! Nearly 3 years ago, I was lucky enough to have Zach's younger brother Ian ask me to be his girlfriend and ever since then, the McGrew/Goodwin family has welcomed me as their own daughter. My favorite memory goes back to the beginning of their love story. Zach flew into town to surprise his mother by having both her boys in the same place and on his flight home he met the woman who would be his future wife. I still remember getting his love-struck text message saying, 'Guys, I just met my wife." Since then, Ansley has been the most kind other sister to me. Watching their love blossom has been an honor and I cannot wait till the day I can share the same last name with her. Congratulations to the McGrews!!
Brock
Groomsman
Hey my name is Brock and I’ve had the honor of dealing with our amazing bride Ansley for the past 21 years and I will say Zach got a good one. Jokes aside there’s no better man that I would want to take my sisters hand than Zach because I know he’s the type of man to take care of Ansley and make her happy, which at the end of the day is all I want for her. Congratulations to these two!
