Julie & Chris
Wedding Party
Mallory "Mal" Hardy
Maid of Honor
Mal and Julie met in 2014 during college, and became quick friends. Mal has been on the front lines of some of the hardest times of Chris and Julie's lives and has been an incredible friend and shoulder to cry on. On a less serious note... If you are looking for a laugh, a shopping buddy, someone to get a foot massage with... ANYTHING... Mal is your girl. Ask her about her alter ego, Ron! I'm so honored to have her as my maid of honor.
Austin Blackwell
Groomsman
Austin and Chris grew up together. They took a little friend hiatus after a finger biting incident. Since reconnecting, it's like nothing has changed... maybe less bubble baths together... Austin has the most kind soul, a true love for people and animals, and would give you the shirt on his back no questions asked. We love you, Austin!
Tiara Solomon
Bridesmaid
Tiara and Julie met in a marketing class in college. They spent many late Friday evenings having intimate conversations in Poblano's Mexican Restaurant, and managed to stay friends even through group projects and once the semester was over. Tiara is strong, smart, driven, and a real mover and shaker. The most important thing for you to know about her is her LOVE of Mal's deviled eggs... but who are we kidding... everyone does. We are so lucky to call her a friend!
Spencer Sonntag
Groomsman
Spencer and Julie have known each other since high school, but really became good friends in college. Spencer is notorious for almost burning our apartment down insisting that wax paper and parchment paper were interchangeable and decided to bake some cookies.... There is absolutely NEVER a dull moment when Spencer is around. Be sure to catch him on the dance floor!
Carly Nolte
Bridesmaid
Julie has known Carly since the moment she was born.... as her older sister, Carly spent many years treating Julie like her own personal baby doll and built in entertainment, and Julie would do ANYTHING for Carly to think she is cool. If Carly ever needed something all she had to say was "I'll time you" and Julie was off like the speed of light fetching what she needed. Carly is quick witted, outgoing, and a great mom to four gorgeous children!
Curtis Nolte
Groomsman
Chris and Curtis met back in 2013. They both enjoy doing one very special hobby together, drinking, because they both have to deal with their significant others being sisters. Curtis has a fantastic sense of humor, loves watching sports ALL DAY, and is a fantastic father to 4 of our gorgeous nieces and nephews.
Emily Wolfe
Bridesmaid
Emily and Julie met back in 2013 during Julie's first big lecture class. Julie didn't know a soul, so she skimmed the room for someone who was normal looking and landed on Emily! They talked during the entire first class and told each other their life stories, and never looked back. Emily has been an incredible friend over the years to both Julie and Chris, and we are so honored to call her a friend.
Tom Lillicrap
Groomsman
Tom and Chris met after Tom started dating Emily. If you spend some time talking with him, you will notice that he's not from around here... He finally made the trip across the pond, and we were so excited to welcome him to Atlanta permanently.. for now. Tom has been a great friend to us over the years, and we are so glad to have him in our wedding party.
Madison Whaley
Officiant
Madison and Julie were college freshman roommates picked at random. Subsequently, Chris and Madison were also college freshman roommates. Madison has been there since before there was a Chris and Jules. She has truly watched us from the beginning and offered us both relationship advice through the years. She is an incredible friend, has been there for us both no matter what even when it means sacrificing her own life for a week straight. By the power vested in her through the state of GA and getofficiatedforfree.com Madison will be standing before us on October 17 pronouncing us as husband and wife.
Ava Reeves
Junior Bridesmaid
Ava was the tiny baby that made Julie an aunt for the first time. Since she is so close in age with Julie they are very close with each other. Ava is the queen of tiktok, texting, and other 13 year old things. We are so glad to have her as a bridesmaid!
Parker Reyes
Junior Bridesmaid
Parker is Julie's second oldest niece. She is spunky, smart, and extremely athletic. Julie spent lots of time helping Parker learn her standing backbend, and will do just about anything to prove she is cool and hip to Parker.... including the infamous MCL tear from doing the splits (can still do it for the record). We are so excited to have Parker as a part of our wedding party.
Maddox Reyes
Junior Groomsman
Maddox aka "Big Bubbs" is Julie's oldest nephew. Chris and Maddox enjoy playing baseball, playing "Colla" Duty, and looking at Pokemon cards. Chris is able to re-live his childhood through Maddox since they are basically the same person we are convinced. We think Maddox is going to be the most handsome groomsman, don't you agree?
Charlotte, Jaxon, and Sloane
Flower Girls
These three are sure to make you smile big as they pave the way for everyone to walk down the aisle.
