Wedding Party
Ashley Gorton
Maid of Honor
Ashley is Rebecca's sister and best friend. Since birth, they've been each-other's biggest cheerleaders and confidants. Ashley's unending generosity and dedication to serve others has always made her a role model to Rebecca. Their closeness made moving to Tulsa heartbreaking, but Rebecca is so proud and in awe of the amazing person Ashley has become.
Jeremy Nowak
Best Man
Jeremy was one of Gabe's roommates through college. They met in the dorms, and for the 5 years that Gabe and Jeremy have known each other, Jeremy has been nothing but a genuine and caring friend. Jeremy also has a close friendship with Rebecca and has been there for both Gabe and Becca time and time again.
Valeria Di Filippo
Bridesmaid
Val is Gabe's sister. She strives for excellence and will stop at nothing short of perfection. She has been a role model and trail blazer for Gabe, and showed him the path to success through sheer hard work and perseverance. Val and Gabe are very similar in age, making them almost twins. They went through the same hardships together of moving to the US, dealing with school, and finding their footing in their professional lives. Those shared hardships form a bond that transcends family, making them inseparable no matter how far they are from each other.
Grady Levi Holder
Groomsman
Levi's friendship with Gabe is the oldest out of all the groomsmen. They were friends in the second half of high school, the summer between High School and college, roommates in college, and after leaving OU. Gabe's fondest memories include Levi in one way or another, some of them include spending countless hours playing video games together, having the same schedule first semester at OU and figuring out how college worked, spending many hours talking in the backyard of the house they lived in, and more. There really isn't enough room on this page to scratch the surface of the experiences that they have gone through together, and Gabe and Becca are overjoyed to have Levi share this monumental moment in their life with him.
Jessica Murphree
Bridesmaid
Rebecca met Jess the same night she met Gabe (see How We Met on the Home page) and have been inseparable throughout college. Living together for 3 years, Jess and Becca have hosted countless dinners and brunches for friends, seen each other at their best and worst, studied and grown together. Now over 1,500 miles apart, they remain just as close. Gabe and Becca are so glad they could bribe Jess into skipping school (at Harvard) this week to be at the wedding for them.
Brandon Leslie
Groomsman
Brandon and Gabe's friendship began as coworkers and gym partners. After a few months, the friendship grew to include terrible golf rounds and oversharing of personal baggage. Now Gabe and Brandon know way too much about each other to let the other drift too far from the other. They've been following the MAD doctrine ever since.
