Connie and Grayson
Wedding Party
Chris Sanderson
Man of Honor
Brother (and bestie) of the bride! A pivotal part of any celebration, so it only felt right to make him the ringleader of this one! Get out of his way when Timber by Ke$ha ft. Pitbull comes on!
Annacara Petroskey
Maid of Honor
I met Annacara on the very first day at JMU, and the rest was history! We lived together for 4 years and wished it could be forever, except for the few moments where we didn't :) She's been such an important part of my life for so long, I can't imagine who I would be without her.
Kendall King
Bridesmaid
Nursing school trauma-bonded friend 1/3. Also, a friend of my 0.5x selfie habit! Kendall and I spend our time together eating Passion Fin sushi and catching flights to her family's house in Breckenridge, Colorado!
Kaylan Schoenefeldt
Bridesmaid
Nursing school trauma-bonded friend 2/3. If you can't find her, she's probably fighting the entire ocean in Puerto Rico. Kaylan's one of the funniest people I know and brightens any room she's in!
Isabelle Combs
Bridesmaid
Nursing school trauma-bonded friend 3/3. The beginning of our friendship was mostly just hissing at each other... not much has changed! Isabelle is one of my smartest friends and my go-to for advice, but not for spelling tips :)
Evelyn Noronha
Bridesmaid
My dear little brother's girlfriend, who weaseled her way into my heart too. Where would I be without my 5-foot shadow? She's spunky and full of life & energy... until it hits 9pm and then she's asleep on my couch and we're piling furniture on top of her.
Hayden Heflin
Bridesmaid
The sister of the groom, the future sister-in-law I always wanted! Hayden shares my love of Taylor Swift and the word "slay", what more could we ask for?!
Aaron Heflin
Best Man
The younger brother of the groom. Always hanging out with the older boys, picking up our lingo, humor, and at a certain point, joining in on all of our banter! A true built-in best friend and worthy adversary in Super Smash Bros and Mariokart (as much as it pains me to admit).
Jake Browning
Groomsman
One of my two unofficial brothers. Best friends and next door neighbors for over two decades and a college roommate for 3/4 years. Amazed that he let me invade his space for so long before buying a house just to get away from me and my constant yapping.
Nick Martindale
Groomsman
Unofficial brother number two. Best friends with over two decades of friendship and memories, as well as growing up on the same street, it really feels like I was partially raised under his roof. Also my first ever co-worker, shoveling neighbors driveways on snow days for millions ($20-$30 each).
Jimmy Sanderson
Groomsman
While Jimmy is Connies youngest brother, we actually became friends at JMU independently. We eventually lived together senior year and he was often a test dummy for many of my culinary experiments.
Patrick Sanderson
Groomsman
One of Connie's older brothers and a great friend. At first I was added to his hometown fantasy football league, just as Connie's friend to fill an empty spot, but after 6 seasons I think I'm in for good (fingers crossed).
Josh Ravichander
Groomsman
My personal lifting coach and DJ (paid via Chipotle, driving, and various cooking experiments) that I met at JMU. Became friends through Saferides and JMU Orientation who finally are getting a chance to be roommates now in northern Virginia.
Sam Marshall
Groomsman
First met through JMU Orientation and Saferides, we became fast friends and he lived with Jimmy, Jake and myself senior year. My Nats ticket plug for a year in NoVa and the only person who's gone on more CookOut runs with me in a single semester than Connie... (We might have a problem).
