Delaney & Preston
Wedding Party
Kaleigh Maxwell
Maid of Honor
Kaleigh is Delaney’s older sister and long time partner in crime. Growing up only a year and a half apart made it even easier for them to become best friends. Delaney and Kaleigh have always been sisters who have relied greatly upon one another. The two are very similar, both in looks and humor. Kaleigh is a leader with a heart for others. She has encouraged Delaney in all aspects of her life, especially in her relationship with Preston. Kaleigh is a sister who has always set a great example of strength and courage for Delaney. She is witty, hilarious, creative, and ambitious. Delaney couldn't imagine anyone better as her maid of honor than her sister and best friend.
Mason Turner
Best Man
Mason is Preston's best friend and now Best Man from Jackson, Missouri. Mason and Preston met each other at a church camp in Missouri in the 8th grade and went on to become close friends during high school and college. Having roomed together both freshman and sophomore year at Baylor, Mason and Preston have truly formed a brotherly bond that has lasted for over 9 years. Anyone who knows Mason knows that there is absolutely no one on Earth like him. He has a ridiculous sense of humor, incredible charm (still single though ladies), excellent bowling technique, and most importantly he is a very loyal friend. Mason is a total yes man who would do anything for Preston and his dog Rocky. Preston is very thankful to have Mason and the Turners in his life.
Alicia Pitts
Bridesmaid
Alicia is Preston’s older sister and now a close friend of Delaney's. It was Alicia's outreach and immediate kindness, love, and support that immediately made Delaney feel welcomed to the Arnold family. She is driven, ambitious, strong, and compassionate. As an older sister to Preston, it is easy for Delaney to see recognize how she demonstrated what kindness and selflessness should look like to her younger brother. Delaney has the pleasure of seeing Alicia and her husband Dan quite frequently in Dallas, TX. She is incredibly blessed to have her as a friend and future sister!
Christopher Moody
Groomsman
Chris and Preston met each other freshman year at Baylor when they both joined the same fraternity. They became close friends when they decided to pick the exact same majors and classes at the start of sophomore year. They then realized that they worked incredibly well together and kept that trend going every semester of college. Preston credits Chris for really instilling in him a desire to do his best in school and in life. Although not technically roommates, both now live in the same apartment complex in Dallas and enjoy bonding over the Bachelor, music, and wine nights. Without Chris' help, Preston would likely never have learned how to dress like an "adult" in the post-grad life.
Emily Biekert
Bridesmaid
Emily (also commonly known as Bieks) and Delaney grew up together and have been close friends since preschool. Their friendship began at a very young age with dual play dates with their older sisters and forcing their parents to watch them perform plays that they had written together. Emily has always been an intentional and constant friend to Delaney, and their friendship together is pushing 16 years now. Emily's strength and heart for the world and people around her pushes Delaney to be a better person. Their friendship has always been filled with the Lord, random adventures, and Delaney constantly admiring Emily for who she is.
Cole Bitting
Groomsman
Preston and Cole have been close friends since the beginning of freshman year at Baylor. They went on to room together from sophomore year to graduation and even shared a tiny Waco bathroom for 2 of those years. Somehow Cole and Preston never got tired of each other and continue to be roommates today. They have made incredible memories traveling together in various countries/cities such as Prague, London, and Ireland. Preston is thankful for Cole's one-of-a-kind sense of humor, loyalty, and willingness to teach him basic life skills like how to boil water or grill chicken breast. Cole is the definition of a guy you want on your team in any aspect of life.
Grace Ramseur
Bridesmaid
Grace (also known as Grass) and Delaney first met freshman year of college and immediately became close friends. Luckily for Delaney, they are now currently roommates together who consistently encourage one other as they take on graduate school. It is Grace’s strength, courage, and love for life that inspires Delaney each day. She is a friend that always lifts Delaney up, whether its through her many compliments or picking the perfect song to dance to. She is known by almost all of her friends as "father" due to her love of cooking (follow her on @grass_fed), her sarcasm, her love of planning, and the way she protects her friends. You can catch her complimenting everyone and everything around her and having “literally the best day of her life” every single day.
Crane McGuckin
Groomsman
Crane and Preston met each other before freshman year of college at Baylor Line Camp. Crane is easily one of the most friendly people on the planet and some would even call him a "social butterfly." Crane convinced Preston to rush the same fraternity at Baylor and they immediately became best friends after that. They lived together for 3 years during their time in college and have been lucky enough to experience multiple countries abroad together. Preston will always be impressed with Crane's kindness, work ethic, intelligence, and humility. Crane and Preston learned to be very good teammates when they procrastinated every group project in a class together senior year. The 12-24 hour straight crunch sessions with short nap breaks will be something Preston and Crane will always remember.
Hannah Manley
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Delaney became close friends after living two doors down from each other in their dorm freshman year. They initially bonded over their similar humor and love of breakfast food and continued to become very close friends, sorority sisters, and roommates for two years in college. Hannah is a friend that Delaney has learned she can always rely upon. She has provided Delaney with some of the deepest as well as some of the funniest conversations she has ever had. In difficult times of college they have always been there for one another. Hannah is a thoughtful friend who loves quality time and has demonstrated the importance of being there for the people you love.
Dan Pitts
Groomsman
Dan has been Preston’s brother in law since he married Alicia in May 2016. Having only a sister (Alicia) growing up, Preston is very glad to have a brother in law that has similar interests as him. Dan lives 5 minutes from Preston in Dallas, and they enjoy attending sporting events and church together whenever they can. Dan is someone Preston really respects for a few different reasons: He is able to put up with Alicia (high maintenance), he never gets stressed, he sets an awesome marriage example for Preston, and he helps make those around him better through both his Younglife job and all of the time.
Hannah Westgate
Bridesmaid
Hannah has been putting up with Delaney for as long as she can remember. While they have basically known each other their whole lives, it was in middle school when they first became inseparable. Hannah laughs at just about anything which has proven very useful in her friendship with Delaney. Growing up, you could not keep those two quiet when they were together. Hannah is known by everyone for her bubbly laugh, her easygoing personality, her love for Christ, and especially her generosity and humility. Her selfless spirit has set an incredible example in Delaney’s life. She is truly a forever friend.
Garrett Walker
Groomsman
Garrett and Preston have been friends since the junior high / high school days. Even though Garrett and Preston have not lived within 8 hours of each other for the past ~5 years, they remain very close to this day. To describe Garrett lightly, he is essentially the Skip Bayless of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. He is a walking sports encyclopedia with an opinion on almost everything to ever happen in the sports world (Never bring up the Rockets or Astros). In all seriousness, Garrett is very intelligent, witty, funny, athletic, and has been an excellent friend to Preston. Delaney always hopes to see Garrett as well when she has the opportunity to visit the paradise that is Cape Girardeau.
Stephanie Pritzkow
Bridesmaid
Growing up, Stephanie and Delaney were teammates both on and off the soccer field. Their friendship began at a very young age but became strongest as they struggled through soccer practices together and always finished last in sprints. Their friendship is filled with many memories of bizarre inside jokes, relaxing together watching Psych marathons, and participating and crazy trips with their youth group. Stephanie has always been Delaney's greatest hype man growing up. She is a constant friend in Delaney’s life and is considered daughter #3 in the Maxwell family.
Jake Haigh
Groomsman
Jake and Preston first met during freshman year of college when Crane and Cole introduced them. They clicked immediately having both played soccer their whole lives. Preston always says that Jake is a simple man. In other words, Jake is a guy with a great heart, enjoys golfing and sports, loves country music and tells things how they are. Preston loves that Jake will always tell him what he thinks about something without putting any glitter on things (even if that means telling him he hates his outfits). During the summer of 2016, Preston decided to take a trip to California to visit Jake and other college friends. It just so happened during that trip that Preston would meet Delaney in Danville.
Taylor Penny
Bridesmaid
Taylor (also known as Taylala) and Delaney have known each other since freshman year of college. They met at a mutual friend's birthday dinner, quickly realized that they shared the same humor, and the rest is history. They became close friends and lived together for one year. Taylor has always been coined as the mom of the friend group for how she loves and takes care of her friends and the people around her. She was also given that title after enduring a year of questions about how to adult from her roommate Delaney. Taylor is currently finishing up her degree in nursing so she can take care of Delaney professionally!
Rian Rahimi
Groomsman
Rian and Preston have known each other since sharing the same floor of their dorm freshman year at Baylor. They became close friends upon rushing the same fraternity and quickly bonded over Waco junk food and Baylor sports. Rian and Preston have become even closer friends since living in Dallas together after graduation. Rian is a walking hype man and yes man - there isn't anyone on the planet that Rian couldn't have a long conversation with. Preston is so glad to have a friend like Rian in the Dallas area who is always down to do anything and have a good time. They look forward to being overboard sports fans together for life.
