Hannah & Dylon
Wedding Party
Katie Jones
Matron of Honor
Since she was old enough to speak, Hannah wanted nothing more than to have a big sister. She was so blessed to have Katie join in the family before Hannah even reached her teen years! Katie has been the best big sister and role model that any little girl could have. And the added bonus in their sisterhood is the fact that they actually look alike!
Nate Szarmach
Best Man
Responsible for introducing Hannah and Dylon, we can truly say that Nate is the best man! Close friends from elementary school, Nate and Hannah spent many hours singing songs from High School Musical and making up dances in her kitchen. Nate and Dylon became close in their late teens, sharing the love of sports, weight lifting and crossfit. Everyone should give him a shout out because we owe this day to Nate!
Maddie Garrett
Maid of Honor
Maddie may be Dylon's little sister but in recent years has quickly become just as much a member of Hannah's family! Maddie and Hannah have become even closer now that Maddie joined Dylon and Hannah at college. And if you ask anyone who dances with them at UMW, Hannah has been quick to claim Maddie as her little sister since day one!
Kaede Fessler
Groomsman
Dylon's cousin, Kaede is more like a younger brother than a first cousin! Despite living several states apart, the frequent family vacations to visit one another have kept them close. As his "older brother", of course Dylon has been obligated to "teach" Kaede how to spend late nights playing video games and many daytime hours swimming and playing sports. Dylon is thrilled to have Kaede as his groomsman!
Sammy Buechler
Bridesmaid
Friends since freshman year at UMW, Hannah and Sammy have been two peas in a pod! Living together the last 3 years has enabled them to schedule all of the same education classes and spend time working together on projects and lesson planning. "Hammy" (as their friends have nicknamed them) are so inseparable they've been diagnosed in their abnormal psych class with CFD...Clingy Friendship Disorder!
Jake Bachman
Groomsman
Little did Dylon and Jake know when they became friends in middle school that one day they would become brothers! The two spent many years hanging out with mutual friends. Although Jake and Hannah (accused of being twins in high school) shared the same grade in school and therefore many of the same friends...there was one exception: Dylon!
Megan Macaulay
Bridesmaid
Friends since elementary school, Megan has become more like a sister to Hannah than just a friend. Together they have become world travelers, spent way too many days on the beach, and have had endless girls nights (It's helpful that her bedroom is right across the hall ;) )
Zach Jones
Groomsman
Childhood friends with Hannah's brother Haden, Zach spent much time hanging out with the family growing up. It was no surprise that throughout the years, Zach would fall in love and marry Hannah's sister, Katie! Zach has welcomed Dylon into the family with open arms and is thrilled to be a groomsman.
Surur Yonce
Bridesmaid
Although Hannah really loved having 3 brothers growing up, she wanted nothing more than to be surrounded by sisters. Surur became an important part of Hannah's life when she would visit with Jordan during her years at UVA. A phenomenal student, Surur greatly impacted Hannah in studying for the college boards and was her biggest cheerleader in Hannah's college studies!
Jordan Yonce
Groomsman
Jordan prayed for a little sister for an entire year before Hannah was born! As a result of answered prayers, from elementary school into adulthood, Jordan has felt responsible for Hannah's arrival and has taken great interest in her dancing, education and growth. Throughout her life, Hannah looked up to her big brother more than anyone in the world. He is thrilled to be gaining another new brother in Dylon and is honored to be a part of their wedding!
Adriana Yonce
Bridesmaid
Blessed to have yet another sister in her life, Hannah was thrilled to have an elementary school teacher join the family! Adriana and Haden were married in 2015 and she has been a great encourager for Hannah's career choice due to their shared love for kiddos and teaching!
Haden Yonce
Groomsman
Although as a 3 year old, Haden may not have been happy about Hannah's arrival into the family, he has certainly made up for the years of teasing and taunting! As Hannah's teen years evolved, Haden and Hannah grew very close. He is excited about adding Dylon not only to his list of brothers but his list of fellow gamers and looks forward to being a part of the big day!
Juliette Zadrazil
Bridesmaid
Finding one another on a future UMW student Facebook page, Juliette and Hannah became not only roommates for all 4 years of college but best of friends! From coordinating decorations in their rooms, to participating in multiple on campus events, traveling on mission trips to Guatemala and even dancing in UMW Performing Arts Company together, Juliette owns a big part of Hannah's heart - I guess Dylon will have to share a bit!
Matt Floyd
Groomsman
Matt and Dylon met their freshman year at UMW and have been great friends ever since! Many hours have been spent hanging out together while also supporting one another on their respective lacrosse and track & field teams and of course actually living in the same apartment/house. Matt and Dylon have been roommates for 3 years and are "brothers for life".
Sara Markham
Bridesmaid
Hannah and Sara met through dance when Hannah was still in Middle School. The two have grown up together and their friendship continues to grow deeper as they get older! Sara's adorable son, Carter is the ring bearer in the wedding!
Cristian Franco
Groomsman
Thanks to Jake Bachman, Cristian and Dylon became great friends in the 6th grade. They spent many high school days pole vaulting together for Fluvanna and despite Cristian being in law school at Villanova and in the United States Marine Corps, the two still try to catch up on breaks, working out and running together.
Skyler Hite
Bridesmaid
From dance classes at 3 years old to cheering together in high school, Hannah & Skyler have been faithful friends since the beginning! Despite attending different universities, their friendship continued to grow and picked up where they left off on each break! Many hours were spent over the last 20 years studying, cheering, dancing, crying, laughing and singing. Skyler is one of those lifelong friends that truly lasts life long.
Nick Yellets
Groomsman
Becoming close friends in high school, Nick and Dylon have spent many hours doing crossfit training together. They were workout buddies for six years, spending most days at either Nick's house, Dylon's house or the gym! Nick brings much fun and excitement to their friendship and Dylon can honestly say, it is never a boring time when hanging out with Nick!
Sabrina Gomez
Bridesmaid
From high school dances, cheering competitions and games to attending the same church, Hannah and Sabrina have been great friends since Sabrina moved to Fluvanna! Always up for an adventure, Sabrina has brought a boldness and spontaneity into their loving friendship!
Jovan Burton
Groomsman
Friend for life...Jovan and Dylon quickly bonded in 5th grade, playing on the Fluvanna All Stars baseball team. Their love for the sport grew and they continued to play travel baseball for years. Jovan may be most famous for introducing Dylon to UFC. Many late nights were spent watching the fights at Buffalo Wild Wings (UFC fights - not the locals!) One of his oldest and closest friends, Jovan will truly be a friend for life!
Abbi Nibblett
Bridesmaid
It's unbelievable that Abbi and Hannah only met in college. From endless nights in the dance studios to decorating their house for Christmas months in advance, you would think that these two have been friends for a lifetime.
Matty Mahoney
Groomsman
"Matty", known by many at UMW is one of Dylon's closest friends. Having two roommates by the same name can be quite challenging, so this Matt was quickly dubbed "Matty". Dylon and Matty have shared quarters for three years and have spent countless hours playing Dylon's video games...even when Dylon wasn't there! As Dylon describes, "Matty is 'super chill' and his door has always been open if I ever needed to talk." Thankful that Dylon has Matty for a "brother".
Alessandra Elliott
Flower Child
Friends for years with Alessandra's mother, it has been a true joy for Hannah to be a part of Alessandra's life since she was born. Smart, loving and articulate, Alessandra lights ups a room when she enters. She is so excited to be the flower girl in Hannah and Dylon's wedding!
Carter Markham
Ring Bearer
Son of one of Hannah's dearest friends, Hannah was able to hold Carter in the hospital shortly after birth! He has grown into a playful, silly, lovable little man. He will be the most adorable ring bearer!
