Carrington Chambers
Bridesmaid
My childhood friend— we danced together at Meredith Gravely School of Dance when I first moved to Danville (along with Taylor) and played rec soccer on an all-girls team (along with Ellen). Nashville (her bach) is the only thing I will say… what happens in Nashty stays in Nashty & to anyone going to Nashville do not miss Miranda Lambert’s bar, that is all. I was so honored to recently stand by her side as a bridesmaid (9/2021) for her wedding!
Nick DiRienzo
Groomsman
Childhood best friend & our future personal dentist, after my mom of course!! -Claire
Madi Eades
Maid of Honor
I met Madi in 9th grade when she moved to Danville & lived one street over from Taylor & myself. We went to Tunstall High School and this is where we (Taylor, Carrington, Madi & myself) became best friends (& are known by many as “the blonde squad”)! Madi and I ran track & cross country together all throughout high school and I wonder now how we were able to talk continuously WHILE RUNNING for practically two hours of practice everyday, seems like just yesterday! Fast-forward 8 years after graduating from high school we’ve been through the ups and the downs of college and #adulting together!! There no one I’d rather fight like a sister with, yet be each other’s right hand no matter the distance of where we live!

Rebekah Mullins
Officiant
My Aunt Becky has always been the “fun aunt” & I have vivid memories of her during the Fourth of July at the beach always bringing Zach and myself the South Carolina fireworks!! I’m so blessed to be close to her and also for her to have played a role in the wedding planning process- we had the best time having her along with us while shopping for my dress & later that weekend having an engagement party hosted at her house by my Nana Shirley!
Ryan Musacchio
Groomsman
Childhood best friend, that is all. (JK Ryan we love you!!!!) Ryan, Nick, Al & Josh are the four best friends anyone could have
Ellen Petrovich
Bridesmaid
My Pal since 4th grade and to think we would end up living 20 minutes away from each other as “adults!!” There’s way too many stores and inside jokes for a bio so I won’t even try to crunch them into 800 characters. Thanks for filling Josh’s life with a female who talks sports (also Gina) and golfs with him. Everyone needs a Pal pal in their life like you!
Gina Prizzio
Maid of Honor
I met Gina BNA in pharmacy school, although not at my pharmacy school and not necessarily through school (thanks CVS D.C. internship and Kathryn Wesson)— all pharmacists swear pharmacy is a small world and I think our friendship is a prime example of just how true that statement can be. I’ll save the rest for her speech at the wedding but I don’t know what I would do (quite literally— I may still be jobless lol) without this bestie of mine!! Cheers to all the life adventures that are to come & for you to be our kids’ “fun aunt” one day! P.S. Josh will always be the third wheel to us
Taylor Vest
Bridesmaid
Taylor and I met many years ago and grew up a few hundred feet from each other. Jump to today we are both engaged, planning our weddings with our dream guys and #adulting healthcare professionals. Tay, thanks for being my forever last minute call to come for a weekend trip at the beach and for always being down for Bay Local jumbo mimosas!!
Alex Wells
Groomsman
Childhood best friend Fun fact: Al, Nick, Ryan & Josh play in “The Virginia Beach Classic (VBC),” a self-made golf tournament every summer when “the boys” come down to Virginia Beach to visit. In 2020 (pictured above) Josh & Al’s team won!!
