Wedding Party

Meet our wedding party

Dani Grexa

Maid of Honor

Where to begin, Dani and Carlee have been best friends ever since middle school art class. Even as they went off to college they have always picked up where they left off. Dani is the greatest friend you could ask for. Carlee couldn't imagine anyone else by her side!

Mana Gould

Best Man

Mana and Ret first bumped (literally) into each other at a college party. Their friendship became inseparable through athletic training and hooping in the CRC. Ret could always count on Mana to go on all the wild adventures together.

Rachel Weiss

Bridesmaid

From planning their weddings to Justin Bieber and Taylor Lautner to planning their real weddings to Ryan and Ret. They have been inseparable since they were little. Carlee is honored to have her stand by her side on her special day.

Zac Wray

Groomsman

Zac and Ret became friends after KC told him he had a twin brother. Just like with KC they bonded over their love for sports and call of duty. Ret had the honor of standing by Zac through his big day and now Zac will get to do the same for Ret.

Morgan Vaca

Bridesmaid

Best friends for a long time is an understatement. Morgan and Carlee have been best friends for 18 years. Distance has never stopped them from seeing each other during school breaks and even holidays. They have gone through all stages of life together. Carlee can't wait to have her by her side on her wedding day.

KC Wray

Groomsman

Little did Ret know he was gaining two friends when he met KC (Zac's twin brother) in middle school. They bonded over call of duty black ops, baseball, and soccer. No matter where life has taken them both, they continued their friendship all throughout high school to now.

Ginny Bivens

Bridesmaid

Ginny and Carlee met during high school cross country. They easily became best friends and had the best venting sessions on their runs. They have always made it priority to maintain their friendship even through FaceTimes and phone calls. Carlee can't wait to have Ginny stand by her side on her wedding day.

Trey Strong

Groomsman

Trey aka Trey Strongz (not the singer) was the neighbor next door to Ret and J Finn at college. Trey quickly became one of their best friends. Little did Ret know they were complete opposites, Trey went to Ret's rival high school (Overhills) and roots for UNC (Go Duke!). From then on their friendship took off. The trio, Ret, J Finn, and Trey were inseparable.

Brit Williams

Bridesmaid

Brit and Carlee ran at Western Carolina together and graduated from the Athletic Training program. They both shared a love / hate relationship with running and AT. After rooming together and secretly setting her up with Mana, Ret and Carlee had the best duo to go on double dates with. Carlee can't wait to have her stand by her side!

Jacob Finnerty

Groomsman

Jacob aka J Finn and Ret became friends during the summer when attending a program for Western Carolina. They were roommates for 2 years in college and played intramural basketball and softball together. Ret and J Finn always brought the fun to the party.

Emma Hand

Bridesmaid

Emma and Carlee were set up as roommates by their coaches in college. Carlee is so glad they decided to room together because they both ended up gaining a best friend for life. From finishing each others sentences to having too many inside jokes, they are the true definition of being soul sisters. Carlee can't wait to have her stand by her side!

Jared Blum

Groomsman

Jared and Ret became instant friends and bonded over how weird their fiancé / girlfriends were. They knew Dani and Carlee were perfect together and they could always get a break when they would hang out. This gave them a great reason to eat wings and watch MMA / Football.

Bryce Taylor

Bridesmaid

Bryce and Carlee were roommates at Ret's parents house (lol jk). They bonded over their love for halloween movies, fall time, and dogs (Pipa and Ava). They may even have picked on Ret from time to time. Carlee is so excited to have gained another sister and couldn't imagine anyone else to stand by her side.

Austin Jacobs

Groomsman

What can Ret say, they are cousins. Their friendship started a long time ago, when they tried to decide who was going to be the red power ranger to who was going to play Darth Vader. Flash forward to now, to trying to decide who can drink the most beers.
