Wedding Party
Claire Hamilton
Maid of Honor
Claire and Grace have been friends since 1st grade! They both participated on the same Destination Imagination team for 10 years and bonded over their love of being creative. Claire and Grace have always shared a passion for pop punk music and have been going to concerts together since they were 13 years old.
Malaynah Palaroan
Best Woman
Brock and Lala first met in kindergarten! Brock is thankful that Lala has always been there for him over the years. Brock and Lala have always had a passion for sports, which has continued with the recreational leagues they play in together as adults.
Melissa Stein
Bridesmaid
Melissa and Grace have been friends since 6th grade! Melissa then joined Grace’s Destination Imagination team and their friendship just grew stronger from there. While Melissa has since moved out of state, they make sure to have annual visits or vacations to spend time together which is always so fun!
April Garlin
Bridesmaid
April and Grace first bonded freshman year as roommates at Mines! Brock lived just two doors down the hall and often joined the party that was their dorm room! The three of them have gone on so many fun adventures together over the years! April is literally the kindest person they have ever met and they are honored to have her as a friend.
Dinah Rome
Bridesmaid
Dinah is Grace’s little sister! She is an art student and lives with Grace and Brock. Although Grace and Dinah are different in many ways, they share a love for creative outlets and sweet treats. They have always loved doing crafts together which has continued into adulthood.
Drew Girling
Bridesmaid
Drew is Brock’s little sister who also shares his passion for sports. He has loved watching her grow up and was honored to help walk her down the aisle in August of 2025. Grace is thrilled to have such a kind and fun future-sister-in-law! They look forward to family trips to go visit her in her new home of Florida!
Malaya Morrow
Bridesmaid
Malaya and Brock met back in 1st grade! Grace met Malaya in college and they learned that they are not only birthday twins, but were also born at the same hospital in Dallas! Malaya is so much fun and they always love when they can make her laugh so hard she falls over (which happens more than you’d think).
Wallis Scholl
Bridesmaid
Wallis and Grace met at the start of graduate school. They “trauma bonded” over studying for their qualifying exam and got a tattoo together to commemorate it (along with our other good friend Andrea). Wallis and Grace have regular game night double dates which is often a highlight of our week.
Frank Schrama
Groomsman
Frank met both Grace and Brock in the dorms and they have been friends ever since! Frank is the life of the party and we have so many fond memories together! Frank and Brock play Dungeons and Dragons together most weekends online. Brock and Grace had an amazing time visiting Frank (and Allie!) in NY and look forward to future trips to see each other!
Aubrey Bradford
Groomsman
Aubrey is yet another friend from the dorms. He is very creative and is always fun to be around. Aubrey also plays Dungeons and Dragons near-weekly with Brock. When the weather is right, Aubrey and Brock have also been known to get out to the driving range to work on their golf swings.
Joey Lovato
Groomsman
Joey first bonded with Grace and Brock in the dorms as well. Grace lived with him for four years and enjoyed all of the spontaneous fun adventures they would go on. She misses the deep conversations they would randomly have about life while sitting in the kitchen.
Claire & Carter Lay
Flower Children
Claire and Carter are Brock’s cousin’s children. We all practiced our dancing skills at Drew and Teagun’s wedding and we look forward to more fun dancing at our wedding! Claire and Carter were the life of the dance floor!
