Wedding Party
Hunter Coppell
Maid of Honor
Hunter is Gina’s older brother and her Maid of Honor, a role that perfectly fits someone who has been by her side for her entire life. More than just a brother, Hunter has always been Gina’s best friend. If you know Gina, you almost certainly know Hunter too. From childhood memories to life’s biggest milestones, he has been there for every moment. Hunter has always been the person Gina could count on, the one who shows up, makes her laugh, gives honest advice, and stands by her no matter what. Their bond goes far beyond being siblings. He’s her built-in best friend, her biggest supporter, and someone who knows her better than almost anyone. Having Hunter stand beside her on this day means the world, and it wouldn’t feel right without him there next to her. NO! Hunter will not be wearing a dress!!!!!
Olivia
Bridesmaid
Olivia and Gina have been best friends since we were 11 years old, when we met in 5th grade. From that moment on, she has been my go-to person for absolutely everything. She’s been my personal makeup artist, my personal therapist, and the friend who always knows exactly what to say. Somehow, Olivia knows me better than I know myself. We share a serious shopping addiction, a mutual love for country music festivals, which has given us some of our favorite memories together, and snowboarding. No matter what’s going on in life, Olivia is the type of friend who will drop anything and everything just to be there for me. She has been by my side through so many chapters of my life, and I truly couldn’t imagine this one without her. Olivia is the kind of best friend everyone hopes to have, and I’m so lucky she’s mine.
Madison
Bridesmaid
Madison and I have been friends since we were 11 years old, when we met in 5th grade. From the start, she has always been one of the sweetest and funniest people I know. She’s the kind of friend who can make you laugh no matter what, but also someone you can truly count on through anything. One of the things that brought us together was our shared love for pens, taking notes, and staying organized. What started as a random thing we bonded over has now turned into an ongoing joke between us that still makes us laugh. Madison has such a kind heart and brings so much joy to the people around her. I’m so grateful for our friendship and so lucky to have her standing by my side on such an important day.
Liv
Bridesmaid
Liv and I met in high school through her fiancé, Jake, who she’s marrying this October. From the very beginning, we hit it off and instantly became friends. Liv has been such an amazing friend to me and has shown up for me in more ways than I can count. She is someone I can always count on. She always knows exactly how to make me laugh, no matter what. Some of my favorite memories with Liv come from our monthly girl dinner dates, weekend beach trips, and our shared mission to go to as many Pitbull concerts as we possibly can. Liv brings so much fun, energy, and laughter into my life. I’m so lucky her in my life and to have so many crazy, unforgettable memories with her and even luckier to have her standing by my side on such a special day.
Em
Bridesmaid
Em and I met freshman year of high school, and since then we’ve been through so many seasons of life together. We’ve seen each other at our very best and our very worst, which is what makes our friendship so special and real. She’s the kind of friend I know I can call for anything, at any time, no matter what. I can always count on Em for her honesty, her support, and the reassurance that she’ll always be there for me. With Em, I can truly be myself. I’m so grateful for our friendship and all the memories we’ve shared, and I’m so lucky to have her standing by my side on such an important day.
Amanda
Bridesmaid
Amanda and I have known each other for about four years now, and even though we couldn’t be more different, we’ve become such great friends. Sometimes the best friendships are the ones that balance each other out, and that’s exactly what ours does. Amanda is someone I can always count on for anything, especially when I need someone to listen to my endless rants. She’s also very good at coming over and somehow leaving with half of my clothes. More than anything, Amanda is someone who shows up for me in both the big moments and the small ones. She constantly pushes me out of my comfort zone in the best way and always makes me feel seen and supported. I’m so grateful for her friendship and so happy to have her by my side on such a special day.
Joni
Bridesmaid
Joni has been in my life for the past seven years, and we’ve spent most of that time working side by side. We first bonded over our mutual love for dogs, and from there our friendship quickly grew. Joni is truly one of the kindest and sweetest people I know. She’s always there to give the best advice and somehow still listens patiently to all of my constant yapping. Most of our workdays are filled with nonstop laughter, which makes every day a little more fun. Joni and I have such a pure genuine friendship that I wouldn’t trade for the world. Technically, Joni is my “boss,” but she’s so much more than that, she’s a great friend and someone who has been such a positive part of my life. I’m so grateful for her and so happy to have her standing by my side on such a special day.
Reese
Bridesmaid
Reese is Ryan’s little sister, and she has been in my life for about three years now. From the very beginning, she welcomed me with open arms and made me feel like part of the family. Over time, Reese has become the little sister I never knew I needed. She has such a fun, genuine personality, and every time we’re together we end up having the best time. I’m so grateful for the bond we’ve built and for how kind and welcoming she has always been to me. It means so much to have her standing by my side on such a special day.
Jeff
Best Man
Jeff and Ryan’s friendship goes all the way back to their high school baseball days, where it didn’t take long for them to realize they had a lot more in common than just the game. Over the years, their friendship has been built on a shared love of golf, football, drinking, gambling, and relentlessly making fun of each other in the most brutal ways possible, always in good fun, of course. When these two get together, it’s not unusual for them to stay up until ridiculously late hours talking about absolutely nothing… and somehow still finding it hilarious. Jeff has been one of Ryan’s closest friends for years, and there’s no one better suited to stand by his side as Best Man on this big day. Their friendship is full of laughs, loyalty, and just the right amount of chaos, and Ryan wouldn’t have it any other way.
Jack
Groomsman
Jack became part of Ryan’s life thanks to his brother Jeff, but it didn’t take long for Ryan and Jack to form their own friendship. Bonding over their shared love of golf, the two have spent plenty of time on the course together enjoying the game and the laughs that come with it. One of Ryan’s favorite things, however, might actually be watching Jack play pickleball. Jack is known to get very competitive, and occasionally a little fired up, which Ryan finds endlessly entertaining. Luckily, Jack’s quick wit and natural sense of humor make him just as fun off the court as he is on it. Jack’s personality, humor, and friendship have made him a great addition to Ryan’s circle, and we’re so happy to have him celebrating this special day with us
Mike
Groomsman
Ryan and Mike have been friends since freshman year of high school, they also played baseball together. What started in 9th grade quickly turned into a lifelong friendship built on plenty of laughs, unforgettable memories, and a lot of time spent together over the years. During college, Mike attended Salisbury University where he served as the fraternity president. Even though Ryan didn’t go to Salisbury, he still managed to reap all the benefits of having such a great friend there—Mike always made sure Ryan had an open invitation to join in on the festivities and fun. Those years brought countless stories, memories, and moments that Ryan will never forget. One of the more memorable (and slightly painful) moments of their friendship happened on the Fourth of July when Ryan managed to break his leg and tear several ligaments in Mike’s backyard—proving that even their celebrations tend to be a little eventful. Through it all, Mike has been an incredible friend to Ryan, and he’s someone who has played a big part in many of the memories that led up to this moment.
Pierce
Groomsman
Ryan met Pierce many years ago through the best man, Jeff, and he quickly became one of those friends who can make any situation more fun. Pierce has a natural way of keeping everyone laughing, which is a pretty important skill when the group gets together. The friend group is known for being extremely competitive when it comes to any kind of game, whether it’s cards, backyard games, or anything else that can turn into a competition. Somehow, Pierce is one of the few people who can consistently manage to make Jeff lose, which is an accomplishment in itself. Pierce also played professional baseball, but no matter where the game took him, whenever he came back home he always made it a priority to see the group. The best part is that every time they get together, it feels like no time has passed at all. Ryan is grateful for Pierce’s friendship, the laughs he brings to the group, and the many memories they’ve made together over the years
Cam
Groomsman
Cam and Ryan go all the way back to their high school days, where their friendship started on the baseball field. At one point, they even planned to take on the world of law enforcement together and apply to become state troopers… but at the last minute Ryan backed out, leaving Cam to go through with it alone. So if Cam ever complains about or hates the job, we all know exactly who he can thank for that. Despite Ryan’s career change, their friendship has never skipped a beat. The two still spend plenty of time doing what they do best, laughing, giving each other a hard time, and hitting the golf course whenever they can. Ryan is also the best man in Cam’s wedding, which proves their friendship has truly come full circle.
Anibal
Groomsman
Ryan and Anibal, better known to everyone as “Balls”, have been friends since they were just 10 years old, back when they met through junior league wrestling. His unforgettable nickname came from one completely random moment when he introduced himself as “Balls”… and somehow it stuck. From that day on, that’s what everyone has called him. Balls is the kind of friend who shows up one day and never leaves, in the best way possible. Growing up in the same neighborhood, he and Ryan spent their childhood riding dirt bikes, getting into trouble, and making the kind of memories that turn into lifelong friendships. After all these years, not much has changed: the stories are still just as good, and the friendship is still just as strong.
Jen
Mother of the Bride
Jen is the heart behind so many of Gina’s happiest moments and proudly holds the title of Mother of the Bride. She has always been Gina’s biggest supporter and #1 fan, the kind of mom who will drop anything at a moment’s notice just to be there when she’s needed. From shopping days that somehow turn into full adventures, to traveling together and making lifelong memories, Jen has always been Gina’s favorite partner in crime. They also share a deep love for animals, (which is why Gina has brought so many new pets home) something that perfectly reflects Jen’s compassionate spirit. Anyone who knows Jen knows she has the biggest heart. She would do absolutely anything for the people she loves, and she shows that every single day. Jen’s love, support, and dedication mean more than words could ever express. This day wouldn’t be the same without her. Jen’s holds the official title of “Wedding planner” for the big day, because as we all know Gina dreams big, and Jen is the only one who will put up with Gina’s ridiculous demands.
Troy
Father of the Bride
Troy proudly holds the role of Father of the Bride and has played an incredibly important part in shaping the person Gina is today. From a young age, he set the standard for how Gina deserved to be treated, showing her through his actions what love, respect, and dedication truly look like. Growing up, Gina often joked that she got whatever she wanted, and she has her dad to thank for that. Troy has always been the kind of father who would do anything to give his daughter the world and make sure she felt loved, supported, and protected. Above all, Troy is deeply devoted to his family. He has a huge heart and would do absolutely anything for the people he loves. His unwavering support and love have meant everything to Gina, and having him walk her down the aisle and give her away on this special day makes it even more meaningful.
Connie
Mother of the Groom
Connie is the mother of the groom and Ryan’s lifelong personal hair stylist. Ryan and Connie share more than just their looks, they also share the same quirks, attitudes, and reactions… which makes for a pretty entertaining duo. If you ever hear them talking and think they sound a little angry, don’t worry, that’s just their tone. It’s simply how they talk, and it’s all love. There’s also no one Ryan enjoys annoying more than his mom, and because they’re so alike, he knows exactly how to do it. One story that perfectly sums up their relationship goes back to when Ryan was about 12 years old at a wrestling tournament. After throwing a full-blown temper tantrum on the mat, Connie had seen enough. She marched right onto the mat and dragged him off by his hair for acting like such a fool. But that moment says a lot about Connie, she was never afraid to keep Ryan in line when he needed it. No matter the circumstances, Ryan always knew he could count on her to be in the stands cheering him on, while also making sure he never acted up like that EVER again. Ryan is so happy to have her supporting him now, not from the wrestling stands, but on one of the biggest days of his life.
Ron
Father of the Groom
Ron is the father of the groom and someone who has played a huge role in shaping the man Ryan is today. Their relationship is special not only because Ron is Ryan’s dad, but also because Ryan is Ron’s only son. From the time Ryan was just 4 years old, Ron was right there beside him as his wrestling coach, guiding him all the way through high school. Throughout Ryan’s entire wrestling career, Ron was the one in his corner, coaching, supporting, and cheering louder than anyone else. Under his watchful eye and encouragement, Ryan’s hard work took him all the way to the state championship all four years of high school and even opened the door to college scholarships. When they weren’t on the mat, Ryan and his dad were usually off on another adventure, spending time in West Virginia riding dirt bikes and four-wheelers. Being the only son meant Ryan got plenty of one-on-one time with his dad, including working side by side in flooring for three years. To this day, they still find themselves arguing over whose tools belong to who. Ryan and his dad share a bond that runs deep. Ryan loves his dad dearly and is incredibly grateful to have him cheering him on, not just from the sidelines of a wrestling match, but as he supports him on this big day and in the next chapter of his life.
