Matron of Honor
Iris and I met during our freshman year at Wake Forest after we both pledged Tri Delta. We became great friends while living in the same suite sophomore year, and decided to live together our junior year too! After graduation, we both stayed at Wake Forest to complete our Masters in Accounting and kept each other sane through the CPA exam. After our Masters program, we both moved to Charlotte to work for the same firm, DHG. Needless to say, we have shared a lot over the past seven years! Iris currently lives in Richmond, Virginia with her husband, Matt.
Best Man
Eric and Will met during their freshman year at Wake Forest and have been best friends ever since. The summer before our senior year, Eric and I became friends while interning together at TIAA-CREF in Charlotte. That summer, Eric introduced me to Will when Will came to Charlotte to visit him! After graduating with his Masters in Accounting from Wake Forest, Eric moved back to Boston to work for KPMG. He loves the Patriots, hockey, and living in the snow.

Bethany and I met during middle school at Athens Academy. From our seventh grade trip to Washington DC, to a college graduation trip around the British Virgin Islands, we’ve had some great adventures together! Bethany graduated from The University of Alabama and is currently studying to be a Physician Assistant at The University of Alabama at Birmingham. She loves yelling Roll Tide and is excited to complete a rotation in transplant surgery at the end of next year!

Michael is Will’s younger brother. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2018 and is currently in his first year of medical school there.

Madi and I met during my sophomore year at Wake Forest when I spent the fall semester trying to convince her to pledge Tri Delta in the spring. Luckily, it worked and she became my sorority little! She was a Wake Forest cheerleader during all four of her years there and loves the Deacs! She is currently in the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner program at Emory University.

Bridesmaid
Grace and I met during our freshman year at Wake Forest where we were Tri Delta sisters. We became close friends while living together during our sophomore year. After graduation, Grace moved to San Francisco, which gave Iris and me a great excuse to visit! Grace is originally from Charleston, SC and loves exploring California with her fiancé, David.
Groomsman
Donald is my younger brother. After a few visits to Winston Salem, I successfully persuaded him to join me at Wake Forest, where we graduated with the same major two years apart. Donald currently lives in New York City and works in wealth management. He ran the New York City marathon this year, proving that he received 100% of the athletic genes in our family.
Junior Bridesmaid
Anna Caroline is Will’s cousin. She is thirteen years old and lives in China Spring, Texas. She was recently in a theater production of The Hobbit and enjoys singing with her choir class. She plays the cello, piano, and violin and also takes pictures for the school yearbook. In her free time, she likes to swim and snuggle with her pets Molly Boots, Lyza, and Buster. We are so excited to have Anna Caroline in our wedding party and can’t wait to see her and her family in Winston-Salem!
