John & Linda
Wedding Party
Brenda Rodriguez
Matron of Honor
My favorite, only, older sister, well she is more like my second mom! Brenda has always been there to pave the way for me. She knows me like the back of her hand. We've been besties since I can remember. I couldn't imagine taking this step without her.
Greg Bell
Best Man
Greg is my father. He has always been there for me through thick and thin and is someone I admire more than anyone. He is a leader, teacher, and motivator in my life. What I appreciate the most about him is his desire for God and His guidance in my relationship with God. He will never know how much I love him and appreciate all he has done.
Lauren Capo
Matron of Honor
Lauren has been my best friend since freshman year of college. We've been together in each new stage of life. We've seen, first hand, the transformation God made in us. She has been my sister in the faith, prayer buddy, and has loved me through my highs and lows
Aaron Bell
Groomsman
Aaron, my younger brother is a lifelong friend that I can always count on when I need him. He is, you could say, the better version of me as he chooses to live for God at age 20 and stand up for what is right. I can’t thank him enough for great laughs, good times and loads of fun wherever we go. I know there is so many more memories to make.
Julia Long
Bridesmaid
Julia and I became instant besties when she moved into the Warren House. I can only describe her as a light. She brought so much clarity, hope, and joy into my life. I don't know where I would be without her caring heart, strength, and wisdom.
Ryan Joyner
Groomsman
I met Ryan in 6th grade and have connected with our similar personalities, constant joking, long conversations, and a wide range of trouble we would find ourselves in. He is a wonderful friend with many talents, has a heart for people, and always desirers to be a better man than the day before. It is a pleasure to have him stand with me in one of the biggest decisions I will ever make.
Bianca Eason
Bridesmaid
Bianca was my roommate at the Warren House for 4 years and my coworker at ENC. We grew to be best friends over the years and even got to live in Panama together for 4 months! We have been each others champion in life and ministry!
Bryce Modlin
Groomsman
Bryce, my youngest son, has also been a great friend and always someone I can count on. Raising him wasn’t easy but it has been journey that I wouldn’t change for the world. Whenever he comes around, I can look forward to good laughs, enjoyment and a sense that I am around family because he is.
Teresa Hughes
Bridesmaid
Teresa is John's older sister. I know how important she is to John and meeting her was such a privilege to me. I instantly felt safe and at home with her and she became an older sister and friend. I am so grateful for the wisdom she shares and pour into us.
Maurice Hughes
Groomsman
Maurice is an answered prayer from God for my wonderful sister. This man became a brother and will always be someone I know I can talk to and count on to help me through life. Maurice serves in the Navy and currently he and the family live in Japan. When you see him thank him for his service and the sacrifices he makes for his family and his country.
Alyssa Patterson
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is my college bestie who became more like my sister. She made me feel at home in Greenville, and comfortable about myself and my opinions. I've always admired Alyssa and looked up to her. It has been fun adulting and growing together! She has been a constant encouragement in my life!
Tyler Burch
Groomsman
For as long as I can remember I have known Tyler. We go all the way back to when he was constantly pooping in his diaper. He has always been a brother and one, no matter how long it’s been, when I call and catch up, it will be like we never disconnected. My childhood best friend and one for life, he will put a smile on your face and bring life to any room he finds himself in.
Jackie Rios
Bridesmaid
My cousin Jackie became one of my best friends in college. No one brings out my personality like her. She is that friend who I know I'll alway have a good time with because we laugh about everything. I miss her so much and I can't wait to have her stand with me on my wedding day.
Jordan Rogers
Groomsman
Jordan is the most well-rounded guy you will ever meet. Another real one I have known as long as I can remember. Our friendship has grown more the older we got. Jordan has become an accountability brother as we both desire to grow spiritually and honor God to our fullest. His light-hearted life is an inspiration to me and I know to so many others.
Mackenzie Rayfield
Bridesmaid
Our honorary third-wheel! Our little sis. Mackenzie has brought so much joy into mine and John's life. We enjoy her company and personality. She was my roommate at the Warren House and quickly won my heart. I have enjoyed being a part of her life and seeing her grow! We are so grateful for the great memories we've made and can't wait to make new ones together!
Emmanuel Osunkwor
Groomsman
I met Emmanuel at a GCF Church bible study. He has been a great friend, a brother in Christ, and someone I feel like I’ve known my whole life. Emmanuel will always be a close friend that I know I can call when I need someone to talk to. No matter how many things I beat him in, he never gives up and that encourages me more than he knows.

Jeremiah Rodriguez

Jeremiah, Linda's nephew, soon to be mine too, is one of the brightest, loving, energetic kids you will ever meet.

Maybe one day soon he will beat me in a game we play but for now when we are on teams, we will win together.
