Melissa & Jordan
Wedding Party
Lauren Wells
Matron of Honor
Since the time they were 6 years old, these two have balanced each other out. Sure college was a blur, but if it wasn't did you experience it with the right person? Lauren was asked: When did you know the bride was going to be a life long friend? "Nothing has changed since kindergarten. We go along with each other's decisions good/bad, and provide support for one another." What is your favorite memory with the bride? "Pick any of our random trips. I will never forget all the fun and new experiences we had together."
Rick Manning
Best Man
When did you know the groom was going to be a life long friend? "I was new at school and my last period was science. I didn't know anyone when some kid started talking to me. In my mind I was thinking this was going to be a long year. As the bell rang, Jordan walked. Jordan and I played basketball together. I immediately told the kid I needed to talk to Jordan and ended up sitting with him in class all year. We became best buds and were inseparable after that. I'm fortunate to have a good buddy like Jordan." What is your favorite memory with the groom? "My favorite memories with Jordan are all the trips we've taken. From the trips to Lexington, PCB for spring break and even the Cali trip! We've made a ton of memories together, went to college together, and moved to Lexington together!"
Matt Rigsby
Groomsman
When did you know the groom was going to be a life long friend? "I knew Jordan and I were destined to be stuck with each other when we found ourselves cramped up in the back of an old beater, driving through the desert with no A/C. Jordan let me sit in his lap, due mostly to lack of space. The exact moment I knew he was a real friend was the moment that first tear rolled down his cheek. He cried, but he did not ask me to move off of him. A truer friendship had never been found." What is your favorite memory with the groom? The other time I saw Jordan cry. He was sad we didn't get to go to the bar he wanted to. To be fair, the bar we were at was pretty lame. Jordan only cries when things get real. So if Jordan cries at this wedding, we'll know its real. No pressure Jordan.

There is no denying the bride is a Daddy's girl. The Father of the Bride was asked: If you could describe the bride in one sentence what would it be?

Todd Reynolds
Father of the Groom
On a daily basis people yell Todd at Jordan thinking he is his father. Some would say they look alike, it must be the hair! Todd taught Jordan many things in life but the most important thing he taught his son was to treat others how you want to be treated. The Father of the Groom was asked: If you could describe the groom in one sentence what would it be?

Matthew Hoover
Brother of the Bride
Drag strips & motorcycles and loud trucks, that’s what this guy lives for. The best part of having a big brother is having someone to enjoy the simple things with. Matt was asked: - At what age did you officially become friends with your brother/sister? What made you best friends? “College, when she moved out on her own we became friends. This was because we didn’t get on each other’s nerves as much anymore.” -Did you ever doubt your brother/sister would actually get married and why? “Nah, I figured one day she would get married and more than likely have kids. The reason I think it was taking her so long is because she wanted to live out her 20’s having fun, and I can’t blame her for that.”
Adam Hoover
Brother of the Bride
From Rock Festivals, to evenings at home there is no denying this friendship. Adam was asked: At what age did you officially become friends with your sister? What made you best friends? "I can't think of a time we were not best friends. She gave me somebody to look up to. I've always wanted nothing but to follow in her footsteps." Did you ever doubt your sister would actually get married and why? "No doubt in my mind she would be happy with someone. I'm a strong believer in taking however much time is needed to find exactly what you want in life. Settling is never a good idea."
Megan Bailey
Sister of the Groom
Jordan will never forget the first time he had to tell a boy in college to leave Megan and her friends alone. It was the first time she asked him for help and it meant so much to him. Granted he owed her that much since he put her through so much torture growing up. Maybe he shouldn't have thrown the little spiky chestnut shells at her as a kid." Megan was asked: At what age did you officially become friends with your brother? What made you best friends? "When he went to college and moved out. We weren't always around each other 24/7 so we were nicer to each other and didn't get on each others nerves!" Did you ever doubt your brother would actually get married and why? "I thought he would but honestly I was starting to get worried since he was getting old and was still single!"
