Maid of Honor
Who better to stand next to Meghan than the person who has been by her side since day one?! Caren is Meghan's older sister and best friend, not just because they share a bloodline. Caren lives in Austin and has been her biggest cheerleader and role model. She's the most talented artist and creative she knows and one of the most inspiring humans she's ever known. Her humor and her smarts will knock your socks off -- and keep Meghan dancing all the way down that aisle.
Best Man
Daniel "DP" is Carter's best friend and one of Meghan's first and closest friends in Austin. Their bromance began the day they met and ignites most while either watching sports, winning trivia at the local bar, or crushing an escape room. Daniel is a truly genuine, loyal, and accountable friend. He brings out the best in everyone and is one of the most intentional humans you'll ever meet. But at the wedding, catch him dropping splits and sick dance moves!
Bridesmaid
Sarah Neral is Meghan's chosen sister and best friend. Sarah started as Meghan's women's group coach at Hoboken Grace and in 2020, they found themselves videoing each other nearly daily. From there, Sarah, her husband CJ, and their daughter, Lela Rose, became home for Meghan in Hoboken and brought life back into that little mile by mile city. Sarah is incredibly wise, gracious, generous and kind. Meghan looks up to her tremendously and counts her blessings that she'll be with her on a day they both have prayed for for a very long time.
Groomsman
Taylor is one of Carter's best friends in Austin and has been a long friend of both Meghan & Caren (the Woodward-Kelleher clan calls each other the "Woodhers" as we've turned into a mini family. Taylor is the most authentic person you'll ever meet. He wears his heart and his joy on his sleeve and has been such a rock for Carter while courting Meghan. Carter's so thrilled he'll be beside him on this big day they both have prayed for!
Bridesmaid
Lindley is the epitome of a fast friend and sister. After meeting at a life-changing weekend in Wyoming in 2023 with an incredible group of women, Meghan and Lindley recognized their spirit animals in each other (hello, lion pride). Fast forward to today and Lindley, her husband Jack, and their two kiddos, Iris and BD, have become her family in Nashville. Throughout dating, Lindley & Jack have provided so much hard-earned wisdom to both Meghan and Carter and have been their cheerleaders and realists from day one. Lindley is a wildly talented creative -- proof is in Meghan's wedding band which Lindley made! She emulates the fruits of the spirit daily and brings such honesty and joy to the every day. Meghan is so excited to have her stand with her as she's been doing since they met.
Groomsman
Garrett is Carter's cousin and best doppleganger in the family. Their humor matches as much as their mannerisms do! Garrett is simply the best -- fun, kind, thoughtful. He makes everyone feel welcome and ensures everyone at a party has a good time!
Bridesmaid
Kayla is Carter's older sister and has been a fast friend and sister to Meghan. She is the hostess with the mostest, making Meghan feel completely welcomed and loved in their family from day one of meeting. Kayla is back in school to become a social worker (a role she's going to be PERFECT at) and is also mom to three brilliant tweens and teens, including Emilia (our jr. bridesmaid). She is complete joy and her mischief has kept Meghan on her toes... iykyk.

Jack is Carter's brother-in-law and father to two other groomsmen: Harrison and Colin. "Big Jack" brings big fun and great taste to every occasion. He's a hoot & Carter's thrilled to have his bro standing with him.
Bridesmaid
Emily was front row for Meghan's 20s & 30s in NYC while Meghan was front-row for Emily's international love story with now husband, Justin. Emily has been a steadfast friend, always providing a laugh, a tear, or an encouragement both personally and professionally. Emily is one of the most loyal and fiercest humans you'll ever meet. She has helped shape Meghan's views on generosity and what's possible if you have strong faith. Plus - she brings sick dance moves to the party ;)
Junior Groomsman
Colin is Carter's nephew & Jack's son. He is brilliant and always tinkering with a new business idea or venture. He asks such good questions and has excellent tastes in music. Carter loves being his uncle and can't wait to have him stand with him!
Junior Bridesmaid
Emilia is Kayla's daughter, Carter's niece and Meghan's soon-to-be niece. From day one, Emilia has welcomed Meghan into the family and made her feel like a cool aunt (Meghan's biggest wish). She is extremely bright and talented at everything she does (soccer, makeup, etc). Meghan is thrilled to join the family and have Emilia as a niece!
Junior Groomsman
Colin is Carter's nephew & Jack's son. He's on his way to becoming a professional football player and keeps everyone on their toes on and off the field. Carter calls him "the kid with 1000 faces" as Colin's an absolute character and joy.Carter's so thrilled to have him as part of our day!
Flower Girl
Lela Rose & Iris are the daughters of bridesmaids Sarah & Lindley and "nieces" to "Auntie Meghan". Both girls bring immense joy to Meghan & Carter and seeing them become best friends through this experience is a big dream of theirs!
Ring Bearer
Houston is the son of Carter's cousin, Kyle, and wife, Aimee. Meghan & Carter love taking trips up to Dallas to see this fam (now including Jolene!), and each time they go, Houston makes it clear Carter is HIS person. The joy the Heaths bring us is immeasurable, and we can't wait to see Houston giggle his way down the aisle.
Officiant
Celeste was at the center of Carter and Meghan meeting, so it's only natural she stands between them to marry them! Carter and Celeste were in the same Red Rocks group for years -- with Carter even in the background of her baptism photos. Scroll ahead a few years and Meghan & Celeste met in an immediate hug at Red Rocks and have been inseparable ever since. When Meghan met Carter, she called Celeste to tell her about him... only to learn she knew him better. Her first comment: "Look at God - you said you'd never date a stranger and you aren't." She said he had "no red flags" and when Meghan relayed the convo to Carter, he had to pull over his car as he didn't anticipate that would be our shared connection. Now an operations pastor at Life Church, we can't wait for her to guide our union on our wedding day!
