Wedding Party
Ingrid
Maid of Honor
Ingrid and Grace met at the ripe age of five years old and quickly became best friends for life. Although, as the only girl in her family, Ingrid always felt Grace was the sister that she never had. From playing dress up and fairies in elementary school to having their very own big girl apartment together post college, they grew up doing absolutely everything together. Everyone who knew them knew they came as a pair, their dance teachers would refer to them as M&M/Ying+Yang/Frick+Frack/or, my personal favirite, Ham&Turkey. After almost 20 years of friendship, Ingrid cannot wait to stand by Grace on this very special day as her and Chip start their lives together.
Jake
Best Man
I’m Jake, the eldest of the Caldwell brothers, and by far the best looking! I’ll be playing the role of "best man" in Chips wedding.
Maddie
Bridesmaid
Maddie and Grace have known each other forever. They met when Grace was born, and they’ve been best friends ever since. Maddie remembers carrying baby Grace on her hip around church to show her off. Once Grace was older, they’d play together with their thousands of stuffed animals. Recently, Grace has become the best aunt ever. She’s truly embraced holding sleeping babies, sewing costumes for her niece, and being at every birthday party. Maddie is so excited to watch and be alongside Grace in this next chapter of her life with Chip!

Hi all, I've had the privilege of knowing Chip since middle school and am honored to say he's the closest thing I have to a brother. From escapades in the mountains of Montana, to winning big in Vegas (combined winnings of over $60), and being there for me from the start of our friendship over 10 years ago all the way through my time in the Marine Corps, I couldn't be more thankful to have Chip in my life. I consider myself beyond blessed to get to witness the joining of these two amazing people and look forward to the celebration to follow and the joyful years to come. Cheers!
Adell
Bridesmaid
As her closest-in-age older sister, I have known Grace since day 1, when Mom and Dad brought home our perfect completion to the family! She is one of my very best friends on this Earth, and I count myself lucky to get to witness the entirety of her beautiful life! As Louisa May Alcott so perfectly states, "I could never love anyone as I love my sisters." As for me, I am a professional actress, based in New York City! I love reading, sewing, baking, and spending time in God's creation. I can't wait to witness this next chapter of Grace and Chip's life together.
John
Groomsman
John is a first cousin of Chip. They grew up together and also roomed together in college. He is from Chestertown, Maryland and is a licensed EMT. John is looking to start PA school soon.
Kandace
Bridesmaid
Kandace and Grace have known each other for 10 years. Kandance was blessed to marry into having Grace as a sister in law; she married Grace's older brother, Ted, when Grace was only 15 years old. A little bit about me, I work in healthcare and spend my free time with my husband and 2 boys. I cannot wait for Grace and Chip to start this new chapter of life together.
Rylan
Groomsman
Hi, I'm Rylan. Chip and I met in freshman year and became buds both being the new kids. I didn’t think I actually liked this guy too much till he showed up in those tight church clothes. Nothing but love for the guy since. From playing poker in the man cave at 420 golden eagle lane to bombing the slopes at LT. Couldn’t have asked for a better friend.
Abby
Bridesmaid
Abby met Grace in 2019 when she transferred to Liberty University for college. That first semester, they were both cast in the iconic play, As It Is In Heaven. Since that show, the girls have been inseparable. Abby and Grace can usually be found driving together to get coffee (Grace is always the one at the wheel), crying over fictional characters, or quoting that one scene from Zootopia. They’ve baked bagels together, suffered through Covid-19 together, and even roomed together, but to this day, they’re still waiting to do a scene together. Grace stood by Abby’s side for her own wedding and Abby can’t wait to return the favor! This is going to be an incredible day!
Mark
Groomsman
Hi, I'm Mark—I've spent the last two years at Liberty University, where I had the chance to meet Chip. We first crossed paths in the dorms back in September 2023. Over time, Chip became more than just a friend—he’s truly like a brother to me.
Kelsey
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and Grace met their freshman year of college at Liberty and immediately bonded over their love for potatoes and their eerily similar senses of humor. As the years went by, they became inseparable, living together for 2.5 years, sharing many of life’s up’s and down’s, and even starting a vlog. Grace stood next to Kelsey in 2023 when she married the love of her life, and Kelsey is honored to get to do the same for her. If you can’t find the two of us, we’re probably eating fries, snuggling, playing Mario Kart, and/or laughing until we pee our pants.
Carlos
Groomsman
Carrlos is 23 years old, from San Salvador. He is a teacher, pilot, mechanic, and witness of Jonathan (Chip) being a great guy!
Emma
Bridesmaid
Emma Rumminger and Grace have been friends for about 10 years! From chemistry class sophomore year of high school to roommates sophomore year of college to adults figuring out life, Grace has been a faithful friend. I have countless memories of laughing hard with Grace and also navigating life with many walks and chats. Im so proud to get to stand next to Grace as she gets married! A little bit about me: I’m allergic to wheat.
Jason
Groomsman
Jason has been married to his beautiful wife Melinda for 17 years. He has 3 children, Kyndall, Morgan, and Tristian. He lives in Gladys, Virginia, and is an Aircraft Maintenance Instructor at Liberty University. He met Johnathan "Chip" Caldwell when Chip was a student in the AMTP program. Known to Chip then as the Helicopter Bald Guy. Jason has always appreciated Chips' sense of humor and sincere heart.
April
Bridesmaid
Grace and April met in 8th grade and attended the same Co-op. They’ve been in several shows for theatre all throughout growing up. In their spare time they are always keen for a Harry Potter marathon, with some knitting needles and a steeped cup of tea. April is a big sourdough maker but hopes to be as good a baker as Grace (otherwise known as Greg) someday.
