Meet the Wedding Party
Abby Everett
Maid of Honor
Abby is Beth's one & only sister & forever best friend. Growing up together meant seeing each other at their best & worst. While Beth was one of the first people to inspire Abby's walk with Christ, Abby's walk inspires Beth to grow in her faith daily. Beth describes Abby as someone who looks a little more like Jesus every time she sees her.
Matt Williams
Best Man
Matt is Grey's older brother, & even though they look strangely similar, no, they aren't twins. He has been there for Grey through many ups & downs in life & has provided a great example for Grey to follow in his faith & other areas in life. Since day one, Matt has always been someone Grey has looked up to, not just because Matt is taller, but because he has remained a positive influence in Grey's life.
Ellie Stout
Bridesmaid
Beth & Ellie met at Valdosta State University. They lived together for 2 years, & formed a very close friendship. Throughout multiple moves, Ellie's wedding, college Game Nights, & other ups & downs in life, they have remained close friends. Beth admires Ellie's faith & biblical knowledge, loves bonding over Atlanta Braves Baseball, & has enjoyed walking through all seasons of life with Ellie.
DJ Achterman
Groomsman
No, we will not call him Dean. DJ began as Matt's childhood friend in elementary school, but throughout the years of Grey being persistent & DJ not wanting to act his age, they became best friends. Grey has never met someone as dependable as DJ & looks forward to a lifelong friendship continuing to grow.
Emily Coats
Bridesmaid
Beth & Emily met at Valdosta State University & remained great friends after Beth graduated. They have some of the craziest stories together. Some of these include being in the emergency room for 5 hours, blown out tires at 2am, & being trapped down a giant hill in the Georgia mountains. Seriously...ask them to tell you one story. You're guaranteed to laugh & question if it actually happened. Beth describes Emily as one of the best people she knows--extremely selfless & 110% dependable.
Zach Meyer
Groomsman
Zach began as a coworker & church friend of Grey's. This casual relationship quickly evolved into a tight friendship filled with competitive FIFA, hilarious, pointless debates about anything & everything, & a short stent as roommates. Distance hasn't eroded the bond they developed before Zach's mutiny, & they will surely be lifetime friends & adventure seekers.
Sarah Henderson
Bridesmaid
Beth met Sarah at Valdosta State University at the Baptist Collegiate Ministries. They quickly became friends & began leading worship together. They remain close friends to this day & spend as much time together as they can. To this day, Sarah still drives to Atlanta from Tulsa during her vacation time to visit. In the past, she has spent her off-days helping Beth plan summer programs & Spring Formals for underprivileged teens in the Atlanta area.
Peter Rice
Groomsman
Peter entered Grey's life with a simple, "Hey, you like guns?" while at a church community group. Anyone who has met Peter will surely attest that he is the kindest, most selfless person they know. From Peter's amazing homemade cookies, to Grey eating them all before anyone else could touch them, to days enjoyed at the gun range, these two continue to do life together & push each other to be the best version of themselves.
Emily Brannon
Bridesmaid
Beth & Emily met at Valdosta State University in 2012. They quickly became friends & eventually next door neighbors. They've shared fun times, like Game Nights & Wednesday night dinners with friends, & some tough times. Both ended up relocating to Atlanta a few years later & remain close to this day. Emily even helped Grey with his proposal to Beth.
Jon Magnin
Groomsman
Grey & Jon met through their mutual friend, Peter. Though they failed in their short stent as corn-hole partners, they have succeeded in building a lasting friendship. From birthday parties, to relationship advice, to Filthy Phillies/Atlanta Braves arguments, these two continue to allow their friendship to grow.
Anna Reece
Bridesmaid
In 2017, Beth moved to Atlanta. On her way to church one morning, she prayed that God would help her meet someone new & make a friend that day. She happened to sit by Anna, & stepping out of her comfort zone, Anna invited Beth to a "Friendsgiving." Two years later, Anna & her husband, Wilson, have remained 2 of Beth & Grey's closest friends.
Wilson Reece
Groomsman
Wilson was once just some husband of a girl Beth ran into at church whose name was hard to remember (Yes, Beth nor Grey could remember his name for at least a month of knowing him). Through a few years of being successful corn-hole partners (sorry Jon), FIFA competitions (sorry Zach), ping pong, & weekly bible studies, Grey & Wilson look forward to walking through life with Beth & Anna for years to come.
Ken Kilgore
Officiant
Ken and his wife, Elise, have taken on a major role in the life of Beth and Grey. Through premarital counseling, tough life circumstances, and even moments of laughter until there were tears, Ken and Eilse have remained spiritual mentors and dear friends. There probably aren't two people who understand Beth and Grey's relationship like these two.
Warren Williams
Ring Bearer
...or Ring Bear for short...Warren is Grey's nephew & Beth's future nephew. Born, July 24th, 2019 to Matt & Colleen Williams, this handsome fella has truly brought a new joy to the family. Grey & Beth are excited to be a fun aunt & uncle to Warren, & they are thankful to him for adding a great amount of cuteness to the ceremony.
Madison Griffis
Flower Girl
Madison is Beth's cousin. They spend every major holiday together, & Madison is known for her intense hide-&-seek skills when playing one-on-one hide-&-seek with Beth. She truly brings out the kid in Beth, & funnily enough, sometimes thinks Grey & Beth's dad, Alan, are brothers and her grandmother "Mamo" is a snarling bear. Beth & Grey are excited to continue to watch Madison grow up.
Gintry Boyett
Flower Girl
Gintry is one of the daughters of Landon & Tori Boyett, Beth's very close family friend. They may as well be family with the amount of time they spend together. Gintry is known for her hilarious comments, & Beth enjoys spending part of her summer every year with Gintry's family on the Sapelo River. From riding the inner tube to helping Gintry learn card games, Gintry, like Madison, helps bring out the kid in Beth.
Becca Cassady
Honorary Bridesmaid
Becca Cassady is one of the best people Beth has been blessed to get to know. Becca discipled Beth the year that met at Valdosta State University, & they try to do all they can to spend as much time together as they can since Becca wanted to apparently better herself through higher education in a PhD. program at Baylor. The time they spend together consists mostly of laughter, but every once in a while, you'll get tears.........from laughing too hard.
