Wedding Party
Carol Wright
Matron of Honor
Carol has been Mallory’s bestie since 2014. She’s like a family member to us, and we can’t imagine our lives without her. She was there when Braydon was born and hasn’t missed a single milestone. Through thick and thin, she’s always been Mallory’s biggest cheerleader. The memories we’ve made together, from vacations to crazy themed parties, will never fade away. She’s not the best on the dance floor but she tries and it always makes us laugh. She’s the first one to toast at a party but also the best at giving Irish goodbyes. But before she hits the hay, she always makes sure to take a “refreshing” shower. And let’s not forget her morning ritual - a cold Diet Coke after a wild night out with friends. It’s an honor to have her stand by us on the biggest day of our lives. We’re so grateful to have someone like her in our lives.
Victoria Zavasky
Bridesmaid
Mallory and Victoria have been best friends since 2019. Victoria is like the little sister Mallory always dreamed of having. She’s Braydon’s absolute favorite babysitter. She’s been a fantastic role model and best friend to Braydon, and we’re so grateful to have her in our family. She’s as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. In our group of friends, she’s known as V. She’s the one who always keeps us laughing with her hilarious comments. Don’t tell her she’s wrong while we’re having a good time or her hand punch will make itself known. If anyone disagrees, she’ll always shed some tears to make herself feel better. She’s always up for any spontaneous adventure we decide to do. When she has some liquid courage she’s everyone’s best friend, there is no stranger danger in her eyes. We couldn’t be happier to have her join us on our special day. It’s an honor to have her stand with us on the most important day of our lives.
Zach Qualls
Best Man
Brett and Zach have been friends since grade school. They share an unspoken bromance that sometimes makes their ladies a bit jealous. Zach is the go-to guy for any handyman skills you need. He’s the one you call for random hangouts, and you know he’ll always make you laugh. This man never sleeps; he has endless energy and never stops. He always puts his family first and throws the best parties. Zach is an incredible person, and we couldn’t be more proud to have him stand with us on our big day.
Jeremy Southworth
Groomsman
Jeremy and Brett have been friends since seventh grade. Jeremy, the artistic one of the group, always stands out, especially because his jeans are always so tight. He’s a very fun-loving guy with lots of energy. He loves working out and riding bikes. He’s a wonderful father and a loyal friend. Actually he’s the reason Brett and Mallory met and dated 20 something years ago. Now here they are getting married. We’re so grateful to have him with us on our special day.
Remy Conley
Flower Girl
Remy is Mallory’s youngest niece, and even though they don’t look alike, you can tell they’re related by their personalities. Remy is sweet, sassy, and has great “leadership” skills. It’s so much fun to have Mallory’s mini me join us on our special day.
Braydon Turner
Ring Bearer
Braydon is Mallory’s son, her pride and joy. Despite being autistic, he’s thriving. He’s a ladies man, a video game enthusiast, and he can’t resist pizza or chicken nuggets. He loves his mom more than anything. He inherited her take-charge attitude, but he also has her heart of gold. He’ll be a little nervous to be part of our big day, but to us, he’s the most important person there.
Christine Schihl
Officiant
Chrys Schihl, Mallory’s aunt and godmother, has always been a steadfast presence in Mallory’s life, also her favorite aunt. Chrys is outgoing, the life of the party, and the heart of the family. We are incredibly fortunate to have her as our officiant; if anyone embodies unconditional love, it’s this remarkable woman. No one else in the world would we rather have stand before us to unite us as husband and wife.
Sharon Schihl
Mother of the Bride
Sharon, Mallory’s mom, is practically identical to her, as if they were twins. While Mallory is Sharon’s second favorite child Mallory still accepts her love. Sharon is an exceptional Nana to her four grandkids and never hesitates to offer help whenever needed. She embodies the strength and resilience of a rock. Mallory is incredibly grateful to have Sharon as her mother.
Michael Conley
Father of the Bride
Michael, Mallory’s father, shares an unbreakable bond with her. Their relationship has been tested, but it has never wavered. He’s the one person who can drive her just as crazy as her son, because he’s actually a grown child. He fits in more with the kids in the family than the adults. Michael loves all the outdoor activities, like hunting, fishing, and yard work. But nothing compares to food or naps for him. Mallory has always dreamed of the day her dad would walk her down the aisle. She’s so grateful that he’s here to make that dream a reality.
Donna Jacobs
Mother of the Groom
Donna is Brett’s mom, and she still calls him her little baby. She’s so thoughtful and always brings him treats when she comes to visit. She makes his favorite chocolate chip cookies! She’s always early, which can be a bit stressful for Brett, but she’s also got a sassy side that Mallory really loves. Donna is an amazing mom, and we’re so glad she’ll be with us on our special day.
Michael Jacobs
Father of the Groom
Michael, Brett’s father, may not resemble twins, but their sense of humor is uncanny. At times, it’s hard to tell who’s speaking. He’s a relaxed soul, enjoying his retirement in the north, cherishing every moment of his leisure. Michael serves as an excellent role model for Brett. In fact, he’s the very best guardian to Brett’s niece, Lexi. We’re filled with joy that he’ll be by our side on our special day.
