Kelsey & Elijah
Wedding Party
Debbie Healey
Matron of Honor
Kelsey has known and loved Debbie (AKA Mom) for her whole life. Some people say that their mom is their best friend, but Kelsey truly means that. She’s the person Kelsey can call on for anything - to celebrate the good days, to vent about the bad ones, for advice, for a pep talk, or just to chat about any and everything. The world is a better place because Debbie is in it.
Lindsay Healey
Matron of Honor
Kelsey met Lindsay at a Jack's Mannequin concert way back in 2006. They bought matching concert T-shirt’s and the rest is history. Lindsay turned out to be the sister that Kelsey always dreamed of having growing up but never had. She is the ultimate hype girl, always ready to cheer you on and lift you up. She’s the type of person you can always rely on for anything. Life just wouldn’t be the same without her!
Asantewaa Crumpler
Bridesmaid
Kelsey met Asantewaa at Camp Greenville in 8th grade and they became even better friends after having almost every class together in high school (thanks IB!). Since high school and still to this day, they affectionately refer to each other as "Herma" because their friendship has always felt more like a sisterhood. This lady is a world changer and Kelsey feels lucky to have a front seat to all her accomplishments.
Shiksha Sharma
Bridesmaid
Kelsey met Shiksha in the 4th grade and they bonded very quickly over their mutual weirdness and have been good friends ever since. Shiksha and Kelsey shared many things through the years, including a pretty serious Neopets addiction and a love of Usher’s song “My Boo”. They spent weeks on the phone together creating an intense secret language in middle school. When you find a friend like Shiksha, you keep her around for life.
Kimberly Barrett
Bridesmaid
Kelsey met Kimberly back in high school through Asantewaa. Although their story started back in Chemistry 1 (with an unintentionally hilarious chemistry test), they’ve gotten much closer over the years through many Friendsgiving/Friendsmas celebrations at the Healey house. Whenever Kimberly is around, there is a lot of laughter, a lot of hugs, and a lot of meaningful conversation.
Margot Healey
Flower Girl
Kelsey has loved Margot since way before she was even born! They officially met in Boston when Margot was only 6 days old. She is Kelsey's first and favorite (and only :) ) niece. She is smart, funny, thoughtful, and is oh so loved by the bride and groom. She brings so much joy and love to everyone who is lucky enough to know her.
Eric Dial
Best Man
Elijah’s A1 since before day one. Eric is Elijah’s twin brother and will of course be his Best Man. What can be said about Eric other than that he’s always been and will always be Elijah’s best friend. Someone that is equal parts kind, caring, and funny; Eric can be described as the emotional core of the Dial boys. You will almost certainly see (and hear) Eric on the dance floor at this wedding belting out songs you didn’t realize you loved until you saw just how much joy they brought him.
Elliott Dial
Groomsman
The oldest Dial brother, Elliott has always been someone that Elijah looks up to. One of the hardest working people that this world’s seen, the Dial boys love to tease Elliott for being the “golden child” when in reality he’s just always been someone who can be counted on to go the extra mile and do the right thing. He and his lovely wife Dr. Molly Giorgio reside in Windsor, CT and they are always ready for a game of UNO or can be found playing with their monster fur baby Sachem. (@sachemthebear for all the cute dog pictures)
Jonathan Dial
Groomsman
The youngest Dial brother, Jonathan has always been someone that Elijah can count on to help him look on the sunnier side of life. As someone who has been a constant source of laughter for most of Elijah’s life, Jonathan has always looked at every problem as solvable with the right amount of elbow grease, attitude, and “creative thinking”. Jonathan has the unique gift of never meeting a stranger and leaves every room of people better (and usually much happier) than he found it.
Kyle Healey
Groomsman
Not only is Kyle one of Elijah’s best friends since middle school he has the honor of also being the brother of the bride Kelsey. He and his wonderful wife Lindsay (co-MOH) and their amazing daughter Margot (Flower Girl) reside in Durham, N.C. and Kyle is a lover of all things music, sports, and trivia. Kyle is currently trying very hard to teach Elijah how to golf. It is not going well.
James Atkison
Groomsman
James and Elijah have been inseparable friends since high school. You could almost say that James was the fifth Dial brother (mostly due to his competitive nature in all things, even things that aren’t competitions). An accomplished scholar James has his doctorate in Biomedical Engineering and by the time of Elijah’s wedding will also have his law degree. Funnily enough James is not the smartest person in his own home, that title would go to his lovely wife Nicole.
Grant Shirk
Groomsman
Grant and Elijah have been the best of friends since freshman year of college at Francis Marion University and Grant has been someone that Elijah can depend on every day since. Grant is an avid hunter, enjoys Wendy’s Frostys, and is a wonderful father to his daughter Audrey. Fun fact Audrey and Elijah share birthdays!
Winston Dial
Ring Bearer
Kelsey and Elijah met Winston at the Sumter SPCA in June 2019 when they decided to adopt a puppy and it was truly love at first sight. Winston is at his happiest when he's swimming, getting treats, and/or playing catch with tennis balls. He loves to give hugs, get belly rubs, and be a good boy.
