Wedding Party
Angelica (Elo) Castrejon
Maid of Honor
Elo and I met in December of 2018 while playing broomball during a Crossfit Aggieland social! Our friendship began while we were falling all over the ice together. She has been a constant in my life since and was my roommate for one year! Now employed by Alvarez & Marsal in Dallas as an analyst, Elo earned her bachelor's degree in Supply Chain and a master's degree in Marketing at Texas A&M University. Elo is one of the most kind-hearted people you will ever meet and is truly one of a kind. Crossfit has truly blessed me with such a gem!
Jessica Dorsett
Bridesmaid
Jessica and I met within the first few weeks of Jacob and I hanging out. I remember being so nervous because I wanted to make a good first impression. Little did we know that we would be becoming sisters! Currently, Jessica is in her final year of nursing school at the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor in Belton, Texas. Jessica is a fun, nature-loving gal who is always up for an adventure. I am so blessed to be gaining a new little sister and am excited for the new memories waiting to be made!
Caroline Keefer
Bridesmaid
Caroline and I met in organic chemistry class in the Fall of 2018. She had learned about me through a mutual friend and approached me with "Are you Madeline Garrison?" one day in class. We sat together that day and every day after that. Also, we enrolled ourselves in classes together every semester until we graduated together in December 2020. Caroline earned her bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M and is continuing her education at Texas A&M's Medical School. Caroline is one of the most hard-working people I have ever met and the Biomedical Sciences program truly blessed me with her friendship!
Bobbie Cooksey
Bridesmaid
Bobbie and I met at Crossfit Aggieland at the end of 2018. Not even really knowing one another, we decided to go on a lunch date after a tough workout one dat. Thanks to our love for Chipotle, we quickly bonded while eating burrito bowls. Her friendship has been unwavering since the day I met her. She is currently pursuing her bachelor's degree in Human Resources at Texas A&M with aspirations of attending nursing school. Bobbie is the life of any party and knows how to have a good time no matter where she's at. I am so grateful that Crossfit gifted me with this one-of-a-kind, forever friendship!
Bailey Noah
Bridesmaid
Bailey and I met in Pre-K at Community Christian School in Orange, TX. We grew up together throughout our entire lives - birthday parties, dance recitals, junior high band, high school organizations, you name it. We were even roommates for our first two years of college at Texas A&M! She earned her bachelor's degree in Communications at Texas A&M and recently completed her education certification to teach high school english starting August 2021! Bailey has a personality that will light up any room she enters. It's crazy to think that one day we were in Pre-K together and the next she is standing next to me on my wedding day!
Ben Kosler
Best Man
Ben and I met in 2019 when Ben began coaching at CrossFit Aggieland. Shortly after, we competed in a team competition with Tadd, and became great friends. Since then, Ben and I have become best friends. He actually claims to deserve “2/3rds” credit for Maddie and my relationship. He’s a motivated, dad-joke telling, down to earth guy who loves to hunt and push others to the best of their abilities. He recently graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in Communications.
Ian Knight
Groomsman
Ian and I have been best friends as long as I can remember. We grew up constantly at each other’s houses, either playing video games or one of many sports. Ian and I lived together throughout our time at A&M, where we both majored in Mechanical Engineering. Throughout our time at A&M it seemed like we did everything together (along with Clint), whether that was going to an Aggie football game, golfing, going to the rec, or watching The Office. While we don’t hang out as much as we did in college, we still make time to regularly get together and catch up. Ian is a guy that no matter where we are, we’ll always be best friends. Ian currently lives in Greenville, working as a Structural Design Engineer for L3 Harris.
Clint Duewall
Groomsman
Clint and I first met at the end of Sophomore year in high school when he and his siblings first moved to Franklin. Clint and I were great friends then, but that friendship strengthened greatly in college. Clint is always there with Ian and me, and our hangouts usually include some very theoretical (only sometimes intellectual) conversations. Clint is a guy who is always positive and is game for anything. He is currently working for his family engineering firm, Bryan Research & Engineering while pursuing his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering.
Tadd Gonzales
Groomsman
Tadd and I became friends in 2019 around the same time Ben and I did. He asked Ben and I to do a team Crossfit competition, and we’ve hung out since. Tadd deserves whatever credit Ben doesn’t claim for my relationship with Maddie. He’s the life of the party, and can make anyone smile, no matter where he is. Tadd and his fiancé Sarah are expecting a baby girl in a few short months.
Hunter Mack
Groomsman
Hunter and I have been friends since we were little. We grew up playing soccer, basketball, football, and a lot of video games. We’re both avid sports fans, and have watched/attended many sporting events together. Hunter is a selfless person, who will always be there for you when you need him. He graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in Industrial Distribution and has taken his love for sports into his career, as he currently works for Techline Sports Lighting as a Project Manager.
