Melissa & Corey
Wedding Party
Madi McCray
Maid of Honor
Madi and I go way back! I met her during the sixth grade from mutual friends. During the last half of high school we got super close. I was at her parent's house almost every weekend whether it was to swim or just hang out. We kept in touch through college and always met up to do something fun like a short hiking adventure or to eat! Madi is very warm, kind, and caring, and I have seen her develop into a wonderful mom to her son Rhett. Our personalities have always complemented well, and even though most of our friendship we have been separated for long distances (during college, me in Texas currently), our friendship has still held strong.
Angela Shierling
Bridesmaid
Angela and I go way back as well! I met Angela during a fourth grade field trip with her mom. Little did we know, we would end up on the same softball rec. team. We both played on Peking Garden for years and played school softball all the way through high school. We had a bunch of great times traveling and playing ball together. Our fondest memories come from high school weekend nights. There wasn't much to do in Sylacauga, but Angela and I always found something interesting to do. Whether it was mozzarella sticks and slushies at Sonic or riding around town and Walmart. Angela has a great sense of humor and is always cracking me up with her various stories. Due to work schedules and me moving, we don't see each other as much, but we are able to pick right back up like nothing's changed.
Thuha Nguyen
Bridesmaid
Thuha and I met in a very nerdy way a few months after I moved to Houston. Corey had picked up Pokemon Go, and after refusing for a while, I caved and told him I would try it out. We had to meet up with additional players to take down a "legendary raid boss", and low and behold, we met Thuha and her brother there. We ended up meeting more and more, and our mutual friendship with her became more than just Pokemon. Thuha and our other Houston friend James call us "Mama and Papa" since we act so old even though we are younger than them. Every now and then they'll get "Mama and Papa" to cave and go out with them. Thuha is a very strong, independent woman who always stands her ground. We also are mutual "foodies" and love trying new restaurants.
AnnaCarrol Jones
Bridesmaid
AnnaCarrol and I met during my freshman year in college. We were both taking our first college Chemistry class together and ended up as lab partners. We hit it off so well! We ended up taking almost every Chemistry class together and lab. AnnaCarrol was definitely the best person and friend I met in college, we both were nerdy, studious, and loved chemistry. We were dorky and always looked at our exam scores with such intent trying to figure out which questions we missed. AnnaCarrol, Corey, and I also had a yearly tradition of attending haunted houses for Halloween in college. Innisfree pub was also our go to restaurant in Tuscaloosa. Annacarrol is very bubbly, unique, and intelligent woman. I am so excited to see her graduate and become a lawyer this year!
Kelly Ninh
Bridesmaid
Kelly is my sweet 16 year old cousin. I remember the day when Kelly was born, when I was just a small child. She was the cutest little girl. Kelly would always visit a lot with her family during the summer to swim, and we had a blast playing games and spending all day by the pool. She is super talented, and I watched her nail her dance competitions throughout the years. She's grown into a mature teenager and I even seek her advice for makeup and fashion, but I make up for it by helping her with school math occasionally :). I can't wait to see the bright future ahead for Kelly!
Keinley Ninh
Flower Girl
Keinley is my sweet, cute, adorable 6 year old cousin. Trust me, you'll agree when you see her! I've been obsessed with Keinley ever since the day she was born. Her brother and sister are significantly older than her, but as a result she's speaks so well for her age and is intelligent beyond her years. She loves small toys (shopkins) and was the one who made Baby Shark get stuck in my head!
