Wedding Party

Grace Porter

Bride

Keaton Forsythe

Groom

Jennifer Yaussy

Matron of Honor

Jennifer and Grace met on the first day of college at West Virginia University in 2011 and spent most of their time staying up late "studying." They both continued to live in Morgantown after graduation and have transitioned from college students to young adults together.

Alex Sircy

Best Man

Alex and Keaton met in middle school, where they both rode the bench on the football team. They became fast friends, and have continued that friendship through every stage of life.

Shahed Al-asadi

Bridesmaid

Shahed and Grace became inseparable in high school. Although they did eventually separate to attend different colleges, and continue to live in those college towns after graduating, they have maintained their close friendship through the many stages of life.

Travis Byrd

Groomsman

Travis and Keaton first met at Mother's Day Out at Hendersonville Church of Christ when they were four years old. They lived together for a few years in college and consumed way too much fried chicken and Mr. Pibb. Some of Keaton's favorite memories are of watching Braves games with Travis.

Layla Newbrough

Bridesmaid

Layla and Grace met during their first clinical for nursing school and quickly became close friends. They have maintained their friendship since graduation while working at the same hospital.

Josh Haught

Groomsman

Josh and Keaton first met when Josh rode on Keaton's back like a bull while they both were blindfolded. In many ways, their friendship has not changed a bit.

Andy Hadley

Groomsman

Andy and Keaton met when Keaton transferred to OVU. They were roommates for two years in college and did everything together. Keaton's favorite thing about Andy is his ability to make seamless parodies out of any song.

Jake Keefer

Groomsman

Jake and Keaton also met at OVU, and they continued their education together in the Graduate Bible Department at Lipscomb University. Jake is Keaton's favorite friend to argue with.

Brian Sheppard

Officiant

Brian was the Family Minister at the church where Keaton grew up. He and his wife Amy showed Keaton love and hospitality during a very difficult time in his life. Brian was also instrumental in helping Keaton transfer to OVU, where he met some of his groomsmen and lifelong friends.
