Wedding Party
Shelby Calabrese
Maid of Honor
Meet Shelby! Shelby is one of my older sisters, and we have been best friends since I was born. We frequently get asked if we are twins, but we are actually 4 years apart! We have always been inseparable, doing the weirdest, most embarrassing stuff as kids/teens. Shelby is one of the most hard working and determined people I know. She is a young woman who has her doctorate and is high up in her career, which makes me so proud as a sister. Shelby has two incredible children, who are two of our flower girls & ring bearers! I am so lucky to have you as a MOH! x, Rachel
Kristyn Calabrese
Matron of Honor
Meet Kristyn! Kristyn is my oldest sister, and is one of my favorite people. We got very close when I briefly lived in the DFW area in 2014. She is one of the most selfless and understanding people in my life, and I truly look to her as a confidant and a safety net. She is extremely smart, loyal, and compassionate. She cares so deeply about people, but especially HER people! You don't want to be someone who wrongs someone that she cares about! LOL. That being said, that combination of traits makes for one amazing big sister. I am so lucky to have you as a MOH. I couldn't imagine life without you! x, Rachel
Meagan Calabrese
Matron of Honor
Meet Meagan! Meagan is Kristyn's wife, so I guess I need to thank Kristyn for bringing one of the most important people in to my life! Meagan is an incredible friend and mentor for me, and I turn to her in any situation that I may be going through. I like to think of her as my parter-in-crime - which sucks for Kristyn a lot of the time ;) She will have my back no matter what, and my world is a better place now that she is apart of our family. I guess the universe said 2 sisters wasn't enough, so it sent me another!! You might be my sister by law, but you sure are my sister & best friend by heart! x, Rachel
Carly Keup
Bridesmaid
Meet Carly! Carly and I have been best friends since 6th grade - and will be best friends for life! Carly is one of the smartest, goofiest, and kindest souls I have ever met, and I am lucky enough to have been able to grow and learn with her. We share a love for Veuve Clicquot, golden retrievers, the Jonas Brothers, and so much more. Carly recently got married in November 2021, and it was a blessing to be a part of her big day. I can't wait to have her in mine. Our 6th grade selves would squeal of happiness if they knew what was in their futures as BFFLs <3 x, Rachel
Courtney Willcox
Bridesmaid
Meet Courtney! Oh, my little Courtney! Courtney and I also met back in 6th grade and were in the same friend circle, but we didn't really get close until we both went to Texas A&M and became roommates. And BOY did we make up for lost time!! Courtney is another best friend, and I cherish our special connection. Although we might be polar opposites in many ways, we balance each other out in the most perfect way, and I couldn't imagine life without her. Courtney is kind, patient, compassionate mixed with a whole lot of sass and stubbornness. I couldn't imagine my wedding day without her being apart of it! x, Rachel
Kaylin Silva
Bridesmaid
Meet Kaylin! Although we met only a few years ago, it didn't take much time to realize that Kaylin is seriously my soul mate. Whether it's our taste in music, our sense of humor, or ALWAYS showing up wearing the same thing - we are so alike, and we clicked right away. Kaylin is a Miami native, but has lived in Texas for the past few years. She is smart, funny, and loves to travel. I'm grateful for that crappy job that brought us together - I guess there's a silver lining for everything ;) We have become so close over the past couple of years, and there is never a dull moment when we are together. I'm ready for the fun you'll bring to all things wedding related! x, Rachel
Thomas Buell
Best Man
Meet Tom! Brother and Best friend. Tom and I met on the roof top of Varsity Tavern in Fort Worth, when some friends of mine recognized him from his time on MTV (The Challenge). Meeting Tom that night somehow transitioned to us working out together at TCU's Rec, and everything has gone up since then. Tom and I are - in many ways -yin and yang. He brings out things in me that have made me better, and I do the same for him. He will argue literally everything (yes, everything...) with you and loves DP Shoot Outs from Chimy's as much as I do. He recently got engaged to Angela Knight and I couldn’t be more proud of him. Love you man and can’t wait to see what the future holds for us! PS: ask him how vital back squats are
Logan Moore
Groomsman
Meet Logan! Logan is my older & only sibling. He is undoubtedly one of the smartest people I know, and he made for the best video game partner I have ever had! As kids, he was always was quick to advise when we would break something or do something we shouldn't have, to avoid us getting in trouble with Mom and Dad. I have always looked up to him and admired him for several reasons, but most prominently because he is following his life calling and passion, being a pastor. He has blessed me with a sister-in-law, Alison, my two nephews Ben and Rhett, and my niece Charlie. Brother, friend, and inspiration. I can’t imagine this life with out you. PS: ask him about who really ate those chocolate truffles at Christmas that year
Courtney "CJ" Jones
Groomsman
Meet CJ! Courtney Jones - or CJ as we call him - literally has the most infectious smile and laugh you will ever see and hear. He and I met while working at Sewell. I think our time there sparked our creative minds with all the mischief we had caused lol. CJ is the one of the most upbeat, positive, optimistic and motivational people that I know. The dude doesn’t even drink coffee!! He loves CrossFit & working out as much as I do. We have grown extremely close over the past few years, and I could not be more excited to have you with me on my big day! PS: ask him about how good he is at trip planning
Madison Helms
Groomsman
Meet Madison! Madison and I met through an Internship that I had while working at Sewell. On day one working together, Madison, unknowing that I had just recovered from a brain tumor, had cracked a joke to me about how someone "grows on you like a tumor", and we still can’t help but laugh at that to this day. Madison is one of the most loyal and hardheaded people that I know. He is very much the middle-man of the group that catches the end of most of the jokes, but he always brings us together. Madison recently married his wife Melissa, and I couldn’t be more proud/happy of everything he has going in his life. Love you man and so thankful to have you in my life. PS: Ask him to show you the Shmoney Dance sometime!
Tom McDaniel
Groomsman
Meet Tom! Tom is one of my oldest and closest friends. We first met in band in 5th grade, but grew closer playing football throughout high school. We grew especially close when we were roommates in Fort Worth back in 2019. He may actually be the only Philadelphia Eagles fan that lives in Lubbock, now that I think about it. Tom has always been a big dreamer, and business savvy person. If he puts his mind to it - he does it. It has really been fun watching him grow and move forward in his career. Also, Tom is the life of the party. Those nights on Broadway St. in Lubbock and on West 7th in Ft. Worth have enough stories to tell for the rest of our lives. I am blessed to call you a friend, and can’t wait to have you join me on my big day! PS: ask him to take a rumple shot
Benjamin Moore
Junior Groomsman
Ben is Lucas’s nephew. He might be the kindest and most genuine 11 year old you’ve ever met! Books, video games, and playing jokes on his Uncle Luke may be a few of his favorite things! We can’t wait to have him as a junior groomsmen in our wedding!
Marley Smith
Flower Girl
Marley “Marney Piff” is Rachel's niece. She might only be 5, but she is seriously one of Rachel's best friends. Princesses, staying up late watching Disney movies, and Chick-Fil-A might be a few of her favorite things! We are so excited to have her as one of our flower girls!
Charlie Moore
Flower Girl
Charlie is Lucas' niece. She is both sweet & sassy, and loves any outdoor adventure! Horses, her kitten, Pippen, and going on bike rides are a few of her favorite things.We are so excited to have her as one of our flower girls!
Rhett Moore

Rhett “the threat” is Lucas' nephew. The youngest of 3, with the biggest personality! Dinosaurs, trucks, and hanging with his Bella and PeePaw are a few of his favorite things! We are so excited to have him as one of our ring bearers!
Zion Smith
Ring Bearer
Zion “ZiZi” is Rachel's nephew, and he has her wrapped around his little finger! He is a big ball of spunk, and seriously the cutest thing I have ever seen. Making people laugh, breakfast as soon as he wakes up, and balls are a few of his favorite things! We are so excited to have him as one of our ring bearers!
