    Our Wedding
    Our Honorary Guests & Family

Our Honorary Guests & Family

The Wedding Website of Hannah Hodges and Joel Rivera
We may not have bridesmaids and groomsmen standing beside us during our vows, but these guys and gals are always by our side in life. We love them dearly and appreciate the love they have shared with us in this journey. And, of course, none of this would be possible without the love and support of our parents. Through them, we have learned the importance of love, faith, and family.

Kaylie Jones Clark

Bridesmaid

*Hannah considers Kaylie more like her sister than best friend. *Both share a middle name - Elizabeth. *Kaylie taught Hannah how to drive on a tractor in her front yard. *The only time Hannah has been in trouble with the police is when she, Kaylie, and Melissa got caught sneaking out of Kaylie's house at 2am. It's still a sore subject with the parents. *Kaylie and Hannah never go a week without talking. *When Hannah was going through a rough period, Kaylie begged Betty Mae to let her buy Hannah a puppy. Betty Mae refused. *Hannah counts on Kaylie to give her the same advice her mom would, make her laugh, and finish her sentences.


Taryn Leger Martin

Bridesmaid

*Taryn and Hannah lived together for five years in three different places. *One of Hannah's favorite memories is a road trip to Charleston that she and Taryn took in their roaring 20's. *In their younger days, Taryn and Hannah were regulars at Drakes and often mistaken for sisters. *Hannah was driving Taryn's dad's SUV when it broke down on their way home from high school senior spring break in Panama City. *Hannah counts on Taryn to keep it real, have just the accessory she was needing, tease her hair perfectly...and always laugh at her when she falls.

Melissa Durham Isaacs

Bridesmaid

*Melissa is Hannah's oldest friend...they met before kindergarten. *Hannah and Melissa used to play Barbie dolls for hours in Melissa's attic. *They share a love of Diet Coke. *They used to walked to Weaver's and Jimmy John's on the weekends in Fundon. *They can't wait to one day go back to Breezes in the Bahamas. *Hannah counts on Melissa to be fair, smart about business, mature about issues, and always down for one more cocktail.


Jules D'Anniaballe

Bridesmaid

*Jules and Hannah navigated their late 20's together - single and ready to mingle. *They had to constantly check each other's Tinder matches so they wouldn't go on a date with the same guy. *Hannah's funniest memory of Jules is her doing a somersault on the 18th hole at the PGA Heritage tournament. *Jules and Hannah once sat in the field at Keeneland eating a whole bag of Doritos and singing at the top of their lungs after a date gone wrong. *Jules' dog, Tubby, is best buds with Turner and Hooch. *Hannah counts on Jules to be her free therapist, voice of reason, and HLP (heterosexual life partner).

Kathryn Sherlock

Bridesmaid

*Hannah met Kathryn through Jules and they quickly became great friends. *Kathryn and Hannah once went on a double date and left their dates to go dance at a different bar while the guys played video games. Neither date was ever interested in Hannah or Katherine again. *Both share a love of sun and hate cold weather. *Hannah and Katherine often communicate via Insta memes. *Hannah and Katherine both go to Orange Theory. Hannah is always amazed at how pretty Katherine looks post-workout, as she is drowning in sweat. *Hannah counts on Katherine to be adventurous, supportive, and able to track anyone down on social media.
