Taylor & Matthew
Wedding Party
Campbell Collier
Maid of Honor
Taylor and Campbell met through lacrosse when they were in middle school. Being a part of the insanity of the elite lacrosse scene of Northern Virginia is enough to make any two people band together. Getting to know Campbell was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Anyone who spends 5 minutes with her will quickly realize that not only does she have a huge heart and a kind spirit, but she will gladly quote any stand-up comedian or Saturday Night Live skit for hours. We love Campbell for her wit, spirit, selflessness, and loving nature.
Brad Freedman
Best Man
The tech guy.
Liv Ward
Bridesmaid
Taylor met Liv in fifth grade at the Flint Hill School in Oakton, VA. They were both new and terribly awkward and desperate to make friends. They made a quick and lasting friendship that has proven strong for almost 15 years now. Without Liv, Taylor would be left unappreciative of Avatar the Last Airbender, Spirited Away, butter croissants, and choker necklaces. Over the years, the two have spent countless vacations at Liv's beach house and made countless memories. They grew up together and are blessed to have found one another. We love Liv for being kind-hearted, creative, dependable, and an amazing mother. Taylor is the godmother of Liv's two adorable twin babies, Carter and Logan.
Alexander Hoy

Melissa Simkol
Bridesmaid
Taylor met Melissa through Matt shortly after he started medical school. Over the past few years, they have bonded over the intricacies of handling Matt's mania and overwhelming charisma. The two have truly made a lasting friendship and can often be found being incredibly awkward. She has made the med school journey so much easier and more enjoyable for both Matt and Taylor. Melissa is incredibly kind, funny, and affable. She is an incredibly talented singer, has an awesome cat named Onyx, and is "most likely to get a flat tire."
Jahan Cooper
Groomsman
The sporty guy.
Becca Stanford
Bridesmaid
Taylor met Becca through Matt and their connections at William and Mary. Some would say that without Becca, the college friend group, known as the Stoop Kids, would never have materialized. She is known for her love of poop jokes, always being down to play frisbee, and her quick wit. She loves Rudy, so she's clearly a great person.
Jeff Hershey

He's just Jeff.
Crystal Rivera-Silva

Crystal is Taylor's sister-in-law. Thanks to her brother Tony's impeccable taste, Taylor has been blessed with an amazing friend for many years. Crystal introduced Taylor to a love of fantasy fiction novels and all things Ireland. She has taught Taylor many lessons over the years on what it means to be a good mother and wife and has opened her home up to Taylor countless times. We love Crystal for her love of family, her strong faith, and her generosity.

Entering into a marriage with her own goofball, Taylor is glad to have met Patty and to have been able to learn a thing or two from her on the subject.
