Wedding Party

Ryan Hammond

Officiant & Groomsman

Ryan has been the best big brother a girl could ever ask for. Our 9 years of age gap made sure that we never fought and I always had someone to give me advice. We are extremely lucky that he agreed to officially tie the knot for us! There is no one else I could possibly imagine taking part in our ceremony.


Stacey Malone

Maid of Honor

Stacey and I have been best friends since 8th grade. Our love for candy, singing Spice Girls way too loud and all of the possible blackmail photos will always keep us bonded together.

Michael Twist

Best Man

Twist and I became fast friends in college. Through our shared love of baseball, video games, and the occasional adult beverage we became tight friends and eventually roommates. Years later I was proud to stand with him as best man, and now he will do the same for me.


Chelsea Richter

Bridesmaid

Chelsea is one of my favorite JMU grads, sorority sisters, and ex-roommates. She has been with me throughout the transition to being a successful grownup. Adulthood may have made us move out of Harrisonburg but we stay close by living in the same neighborhood today.

Ashley Jones

Bridesmaid

I was lucky enough to have had Ashley as a sorority sister and roommate throughout college but even more lucky to have found the other preppiest girl at JMU. Lilly Pulitzer sorority letters and cookie skillets will keep us together forever!


Nicole Young

Bridesmaid

Nicole is one of the sweetest and thoughtful friends a girl could ask for! Always there with a encouraging comments, a bottle of wine and available for a much needed girls night. A true savior throughout wedding planning.

Albert Van Der Waag

Groomsman

Albert was my roommate in the dorms and the first new friend I made in college. Late night runs to Jimmy John's started a great friendship and no matter where we are in the world, we never know when we will cross paths, whether in Miami, DC, St. Maarten, or even Chicago.


Nimit Bhatt

Groomsman

Nimit put me in his wedding so I had to return the favor...just kidding. Nimit has been a great success since we met at our first "real" jobs in Virginia. I wish I could say I taught him everything he knows but I'd settle for half. He's my Austin City Limits buddy and always up for a concert!

Dimitrios Meritis

Groomsman

Dimitri and I met relatively recently but he's been a great friend for talking about the issues of the day, providing an international perspective, and a keen car shopping adviser. I look forward to many more discussions over a pint.

For all the days along the way
