Wedding Party

Molly Bowdon-Romero

Matron of Honor

Molly is my big sis. She’s been there for it all. She may not have wanted to be seen with me through those high school years, she was verrrry cool, but now we choose to be with each other and our lil sis Maria over anyone else 9/10 times. You may not know this, but Molly shares a love for musical theatre with me. I’m hoping she gives us a show at the wedding!

Maria Bowdon

Maid of Honor

Maria is my baby sis. She completed the Bowdon sister trio and I can’t imagine going through this life without such a bundle of love and happiness. When we were younger, I may have pulled her hair over Oreos, she may have stolen my clothes, but in the end, sisters overcome and we’re pretty tight these days. I can’t wait for her to bring down the house at the reception!

Brandon Riddle

Man of Honor

Brandon and I met on what would be both of our first cruise ship contracts as performers. He was the M1, I was the F1. We were basically a match made in Heaven. We did two ship contracts together, saw a lot the world, and then once we were settled back in NYC, we decided we hadn’t had enough of each other yet and moved into an apartment in Washington Heights with our girl Lindsey, also in my bridal party. The rest is history. I love him more than my luggage and couldn’t spend this special day without him by my side.

Morgan Lovelace

Bridesmaid

Morgan is my first ever best friend. We met when we were in preschool and truly the rest is history. We never once got put into the same class (except our 6th grade year) but that never kept us apart. We did ballet and cheerleading together, but our favorite thing was probably spending all night playing the Sims in the computer room or making up dances and then performing them for our parents. Morg and I share a passion for dogs and animals of all kinds. I am thankful for her daily Instagram and TikTok shares of dogs and pigs that put a smile on my face. I’ve always imagined Morgan at my side on my wedding day and am so excited it’s actually a reality!

Lindsey Hanson

Bridal Party

Lindsey and I also met on the same cruise ship contract as Brandon and I did. She has always been a little more… what should we say.. responsible.. than Brandon and I, but that didn’t kept her from being a part of our clique. Once we moved in together in Washington Heights, we got very close. I learned SO much about life from this girl. She’s an incredible friend. I got to spend her wedding day with her and I’m so happy to now get to have her spend my wedding day with me!

Mary Kate Moore

Bridal Party

Mary Kate and I knew our friendship was something that was just…. I don’t know… meant to happen, when we got to our college dorm room and had unplanned coordinating colors in everything.. the same plates, monogrammed towels, I mean everything. We lived together all four years of college and were inseparable. Anytime we weren’t together, people were totally thrown off. Maddie with out Mary Kate? Not possible! She was my other half and to this day were are always keeping up with each other. I cannot wait to create more memories during the wedding weekend!

Kyle O’Brien

Bridal Party

Kyle and I also met in college. We were both in the theatre department and were a little more quiet (socially awkward??) than the others in our class. We immediately clung to each other. At first I totally thought he was a hunk and then I quickly was like oh jk you’re a hunk and you’re going to be one of my best friends for life. We both lived in Harlem at the same time, nannied for the same company, preferred spending an afternoon drinking bottomless sangria and then just laying in Central Park people (dog) watching. I couldn’t be luckier to have him as a friend and spending such a special day with me!

Adrienne Jackson

Bridal Party

Adrienne and I grew up as the cousins who were the same age and naturally just loved being together. Little did we know we would both develop a similar passion for performing and end up in NYC. Between my first and second sublet, Adrienne let me crash on her couch for two whole weeks. If you know New York, you know that’s love. She’s now out in LA doing her thang with her husband Zack and I’m so stinking proud of her. I got to stand by her on her wedding day and now it’s my turn to have her with me on my wedding day!

Sophie Jackson

Bridal Party

Sophie is the baby of the cousins. She’s only a few years younger than me but I always thought she was the cutest thing ever. And I still do. She just got married to her sweet husband Brett and we get to celebrate them in April!!! It’s been fun getting to be all fiancéd up together and I can’t wait to dance the night away to celebrate being wifed up!

Rachel Baltz

Bridal Party

Rachel is Josh’s sister. She has always made me feel right at home with their family. We love going to their house for a delicious meal (don’t forget the charcuterie board), poolside fun, and a game of cards that I more than likely don’t understand. I am so looking forward to making many more memories as an official member of the fam!

Kacie Wilson

Bridal Party

Kacie is Josh’s daughter, gorgeous inside and out. She’s truly one of the coolest, most down to earth people I’ve known. She helped talk me through wedding planning and I can’t wait to share this special day together before many more special days to come!

Lark Moore

Junior Bridesmaid

Lark is my 2nd cousin/bestie. She is spunky, sweet, and can move those feet. I cannot wait to see her breaking it down on that dance floor at the reception!

Peyton Arent

Junior Bridesmaid

Peyton is Rachel’s daughter, Josh’s niece. She has the best opinions and I’m definitely going to need them on the big day!

Hudson, Barrett, and Jack

Ring Bearer

Hudson, Barrett, and Jack are our ring bearers! We weren’t sure Hudson and Barrett could handle it on their own so we decided it best that Jack help them out. Hudson is Josh’s nephew. As you most likely know via the social medias, Barrett and Jack are mine. We love them so and are excited for them be a part of our day!

Margot and Liv

Flower Girl

Margot and Liv are more of my amazing 2nd cousins. They are not only extremely glamorous, but also very responsible. I feel they are absolutely the best suited for this very important job before I make my way down the aisle. Let’s go girls!

Rhett and Owen

Guest Book Attendants/Traffic Directors

Rhett is another 2nd cousin of mine and Owen is Josh’s nephew. These boys have the very important job of making sure everyone signs the guests book upon entrance and telling them how to get to their seat. They’re both the sweetest young gentleman and we are so thankful for their help!

Willem and Walden Culpepper

Chauffeurs

Willem and Walden are… you guessed it.. my 2nd cousins. They’re Margot’s big brothers and both basically celebrities. Willem plays guitar and drums at Immanuel Baptist in Little Rock and Walden is the star player on his football team. They will be driving anyone who would like a lift up the hill to the venue. Willem will also be our ceremony music along with his mom, my cousin Leigh. It’s going to be so special, I’ma need a groomsman to be sure Josh has a handkerchief ready for me.

Dolly and Bogey

Poodle Pawty

We couldn’t possibly celebrate our day without our fur babies! We’ve got our paws crossed 🤞 and know that they will make us proud walking down the aisle and maybe even provide a little extra cute entertainment for everyone.

Michael Hanson

Officiant

Michael is husband to my bridesmaid, Lindsey. He is a performer, speech therapist, real estate agent, ring announcer, and dad. We became friends when he was often over visiting Linds at our apartment. Michael is one person who will always have a genuine conversation with you. Sharing real opinions and giving support. We thought, everyone will be able to understand his fabulous speaking voice, but more, who better to guide us through the most special day of our lives this far than someone like Michael. We are so happy to have him be a part of this moment and can’t wait to hear those final ceremony words!
