Wedding Party

Avery Doyle

Maid of Honor

“Maddie is my built in best friend and favorite person in the whole world. I am so blessed to be have her as my sister and am so happy to stand by her as she marries her best friend!”

Chloe Cotton

Maid of Honor

“Maddie is my favorite accidental best friend. We moved in together sophomore year of college, barely knowing each other, and quickly realized we would become friends. While living with Maddie for 2 years, I learned she loves stitch, used to collect rocks as a kid, occasionally run into poles at the playground, and so much more. She became my best friend because she’s kind and caring with a side of quirky and I can’t imagine not standing by her side on her special day.”

Zack Mockler

Best Man

“Cole has been one of my best friends since high school and throughout college. we were always there for each other and I’m excited to be able to stand by his side on his wedding day”

Caitlyn Childers

“I have witnessed Maddie and Cole's relationship from the very beginning. As his sister, I am happy that someone can put up with him, and I'm so glad that it's Maddie. She is an amazing, kind-hearted woman who is always a joy. Since I was younger, she has always made an effort to talk to me and make me feel included. Now that I am older, I'm so glad that I can continue to make new memories with her. She has always been kind to me and my brother even when he makes it hard. I am excited to see how they continue to grow, and how she continues to grow in our family and start a new one with Cole.”

Kimberly Thomas

Bridesmaid

“Maddie is not only my cousin, but one of my best friends. We have done so much together from dance as little kids, to learning to scuba dive, traveling so many places together, and now being apart of each other’s wedding days. I cannot wait to celebrate Maddie & Cole’s big day!”

Abby Newton

Bridesmaid

“Maddie and I first met briefly at our Master’s orientation and then we met again at our clinic orientation a few days later! Over the past year, we’ve not only shared clients, but also countless hours together working on projects or fighting for parking spots on UT campus. Through it all, Maddie has been a fun-loving and steadfast friend. Her encouragement has been invaluable, and her positivity has made every task seem manageable. I’m thrilled to celebrate her and Cole, as they embark on this new chapter together. Here’s to a future filled with love, joy, and lots of Goose snuggles!”

Samantha Seal

Bridesmaid

“Maddie and I have been friends since elementary school, so it’s surreal to think we’re now old enough to be planning a wedding! Time truly flies. We first met at a Sky Ranch Day Camp with her sister, Avery, and instantly connected. Maddie’s joy, spunk, and love for her friends are contagious, making every moment spent with her a delight. We’ve practically grown up together—sleepovers, pool days, church events, musicals, prom, homecoming, and everything in between. And as if that wasn’t enough, the Lord blessed us with a year together in Austin while I finished my undergrad and she began grad school. One of my most cherished memories with Maddie is from a mission trip to Nicaragua during our freshman year of high school. My mom suggested I invite a friend, and Maddie was the first person who came to mind. That week in Nicaragua brought us closer to each other and to the Lord. It was so sweet to witness Maddie’s heart as she loved and served the children we met. Though Maddie was a bit shy in high school, you would never have guessed it in Nicaragua—the kids adored her. Flash forward to the end of high school, and I had the joy of watching Maddie and Cole’s relationship blossom. It feels so full circle now to have the honor of standing by their side as they begin this new chapter as husband and wife. Maddie and Cole, I am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for your life together! Maddie, I love you so much, and I’m incredibly grateful to call you my friend.”

Maddie’s and my friendship dates all the way back to when we were 8 years old (or honestly maybe even younger?!)! from the same 3rd Grade class to now there are so many memories and so much love!! march 15 is honestly going to be the best day ever!!!

Blaire Loveday

Bridesmaid

“I got to know Maddie over the course of the last year when she would come visit Cole at A&M. The first time we met we had a sleepover and she immediately became one of my closest friends. Maddie has a heart for others and serves so selflessly! She means so much to me and I can’t wait to celebrate her and Cole, but more importantly I can’t wait for her to become family!!”

Logan Doyle

Groomsman

“I am Maddie’s brother and also i outrank Cole… not that it’s important but I just want the record to show. I am so excited to celebrate Maddie and Cole in March!

Ben McQuinn

Groomsman

“Cole and I first met at the start of college when we both joined the same Corps outfit at A&M. Through the last four years I have grown to be one of Cole’s closest friends, gym partners, lunch buddies, and so much more. I’m so excited to be a part of their big day and I can’t wait to see what the future brings them.”

Adam Paris

Groomsman

“I’ve had the pleasure and honor of knowing Cole ever since our freshman year in the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets together. I have also been blessed to know Maddie ever since I’ve known Cole! I loved having the chance to get to know Cole and Maddie more over the last few years, especially when Cole and I were rooming together. The buddies always joked that Cole would be and Maddie would be the first ones of us to get married and I know that we’re all excited that came true. Cole and Maddie, thank you for all the awesome times together and memories shared and I am excited to see you two get married and be friends with y’all for the rest of our lives!”

Jordan Castillo

Groomsman

“I’m proud to call Cole a great friend of mine. We have made great memories with our time together at A&M. Also, he was a great roommate because he put up with all my crap! I cannot wait to celebrate with Cole and Maddie on one of their biggest days in their lives together!”

Quinten Hefin

Groomsman

Cole and I first met each other on the football field back in 7th grade (back when he still had rec spec goggles) and ever since he has been one of my closest friends. First thing I think of when I think of Cole is loyalty, he has always been committed to his friends and never once have I doubted if he will have my back. It is because of that quality that I know that Cole will be able to lead Maddie well in marriage and I am excited for how the Lord will use them to bless not only themselves, but those around them as well.

Pierson Gaines

Groomsman

“Cole and I really began our friendship over complaining about how much we hated middle school football. We would just talk about how we couldn’t wait to get home and get on Xbox and then we would proceed to go home and play until we were yelled at to get off. I have said it since the beginning but I knew these two would get married someday and it’s finally come. I’m so excited to get to be apart of it and am so happy for the two of them!”

Scott Son

Groomsman

“Thank you for making the best memories with me, especially during our high school summers when we played a lot of video games together. Some of the core memories that I enjoyed together is when we would always sing Juice WRLD songs in the car ride and rant how dumb our ranked team mates were (I think we were the problem).All I got to say is that I am incredibly honored to be a groomsmen, Cole, and I can’t wait for you and Maddie to live the best lives together in the near future.”
