If you ever have a need for organization or doodles; she is your gal!! She is charismatic and just flat out a hoot! She always is the Thelma to my Louise. #rosegold
Jason Rios
Best Man
Meet the Best Man! Jason and James were co-horts in crime from middle school through high school. Remaining best friends ever since, regardless of time or distance the friendship always picks up just like it had only been since yesterday they were having a beer and having a good time. Memories of us hanging out while listening to James learn and practice some of their favorite Metallica tunes or they were out bowling or shooting pool, it is a friendship that has stood the test of time.
Jadin Ashley Herrell
Bridesmaid
Meet the Junior Bridesmaid of the bunch
Justin Rainbolt
Groomsman
Meet Our Groomsman! Justin ("Jiggy") has been the other half of a 6 string guitar duo with James for many years, sharing the stage from east coast to west coast, and nearly inseparable off the stage as well from many hours and nights of hanging out and playing video games to being roommates and even co-workers for a brief period of time, for a while chances are if you saw one the other one was not far behind. Eric, their drummer nicknamed them the giggle twins.
Taylor Shea Herrell
Bridesmaid
Meet the Bride's Sister, Not only is she the best gift her parents ever gave Rachel, she is the strongest woman she has ever known. Old school jokes about her having "turkey smelling feet", because she ate turkey so much as a baby. To grown jokes about how there is not a rap song this girl doesn't know all the words too. She is also the Mother of the two Flower Girls in our Wedding Party. (Skylar Dale and Riley Ann)
Nakoa Arnold
Groomsman
Meet Our Groomsman! Nakoa Arnold, bassist extraordinaire, also has shared the stage many times with James, as well as many get togethers with him and his wife, Ashley. Memories of our family trip together to San Antonio and being goofballs on the Riverwalk, is always a good laugh. While he may be the shortest in tenure of the crew, you couldn't imagine not having him there, he always brings a laugh and a smile to whomever he meets. #jamessidechick
Shelby Keenan
Bridesmaid
Meet our Bridesmaid, Shelby and Rachel met in a tiny little nook of the Hilton Corporate office years ago. Where organization was needed and late night invoicing and call quality was the normal night life we lived. Our love for Vampires, Zombies and Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi soup created that perfect recipe for a friendship. This gal was the support needed when all was lost and she will be forever loved for it. If you ever need a spreadsheet or an office cubicle fort, Shelby is your gal to call!
Samir El-Darazi
Groomsman
Meet Our Groomsman! Sammi and James met during freshman year of high school and shared classes from Literature to Physics and then ended up both in the same honors program in college. Their friendship continued to grow through get togethers and study groups. Fond memories of driving around in Sammi's car senior year to our 5 -mins of 80's Rockstar fame to our parody of Homer's Iliad (Another One Bites the Dust).
Juliette Richardson
Bridesmaid
Meet this doll of a bridesmaid. Juliette and the bride have the kind of history where you are surprised how they got away with it! We were not trouble at all just somehow always found ourselves in those weird scenarios where you just cannot explain and no one will believe. lol. From work shifts at Natural Wonders (Sara Brightman blaring), moments of driving down the streets of Deep Ellum (Seat switching) and years later at Wine and Painting she and Rachel never cease to have a great time. She is always loved and forever cherished no matter how long we allow time to run past us.
David Althoff
Groomsman
Meet Our Groomsman! David and James were friends throughout middle school and high school. Their friendship really grew in college when they were both members of the choir. From trips to Carnegie Hall to perform in New York City and many late nights at Waffle House, to running all over DFW together this friendship lasts and last. And who can forget the goofy inside jokes, such as the Goat in a Coat on a Boat... it would be wise not to ask....
Skylar Dale Castleschouldt
Flower Girl
Meet Flower Girl #1, This little, big girl is bright and saucy! Oh man, no little person holds as much personality as this little niece. Skylar is our "prim and proper" niece. She doesn't like to be dirty, don't be in the pool and splash her in the face, she will run out and dry off and shoot an adorable glare of doom. She truly is the best of parts of the women before her; Sassy like her Great Grandma Kay, Girly like her Great Aunt Dee, Sweetness from her Meme Kim, her crazy dance moves from her Aunt Rae and Strength from her Mother Taylor.
Riley Ann Castleschouldt
Flower Girl
Meet Flower Girl #2, This little wildflower is the youngest of the nieces. Riley is full of energy and fire. You will see the Bride running around calling her "my little wolf baby" because out of all the nieces and nephews this little girl carries a beautiful balance of love and adventure.
