Grayson & Meaghan
Wedding Party
Caitlin Shewbrooks
Maid of Honor
I'm Caitlin, Meaghan's Maid of Honor, as well as her smartest and most beautiful older sister. I've known the bride since 1999, which means I've seen her at her worst - her era with no front teeth and the day she decided she would run cross country in high school "for fun". Since then, her teeth have returned, and we’ve gone on to run track together, bungee jump in New Zealand, and even ski the scariest black diamond I have ever seen in California with her fiancé, Grayson. Through every adventure, she’s remained the same adventurous and determined person I’ve always known, and I can’t wait to celebrate this next big adventure with them both!
Johnny Deutsch
Best Man
I’m Johnny, Grayson’s best man. I met Grayson five years ago the day he moved into my house. It was friendship at first sight, that has only gotten stronger with time. From then till now I’ve seen a lot of different versions of Grayson, and by different versions I mean haircuts. That man likes to mix it up! Although, one thing that I’ve never seen change, is his feelings for Meaghan. I knew she was the one for Grayson the day he introduced me to her at breakfast. I could tell his affection for her was as bottomless as the mimosas we were drinking. Since then I’ve watched their love grow into a beautiful relationship that I know will bring them a lifetime of happiness. Congrats to both of you!

I am Meaghan's younger sister. Being the younger sister meant bothering her, getting into pointless fights, and making some of the best memories sisters can have. I met Grayson on a family trip to California and knew from the moment I saw them interact that they were meant to be. I am so excited to be a part of their special day and I cannot wait for Grayson to join our family so I can bother him too.

One of my favorite things about my friendship with Grayson is how unexpected it looks from the outside. Back in school, it genuinely confused people. On paper, we seemed pretty different (because we are), but from the moment I met him in a 6th grade summer school math class, he’s been one of my closest friends. Since then, we’ve gone on ski and snowboard trips, pulled all-nighters watching horror movies, and even saw Owl City (throwback!) with our dads because I’m pretty sure we weren’t old enough to get into the venue ourselves. Grayson is one of the most genuine people I know, and I feel lucky to have had him as a therapist, hype man, accomplice, and overall rock of a friend for more than half my life. I’m so excited to usher him into this new chapter with Meaghan and to see the life they build together.
Frannie Lang
Bridesmaid
I’m Frannie, Grayson’s little sister. I’ve seen Grayson through all of his awkward stages (did he ever grow out of it?) , and I’ve been lucky to know Meaghan since early in their relationship when she sat through a family dinner where my mom found out about Grayson’s Bing Bong tattoos. She was brave for that. I’ve not only been lucky to find a friend in Meaghan, but also a roommate, which gives me a front row seat to seeing Grayson and Meaghan’s love grow. I am so excited to see this next chapter for them and can’t wait to help them celebrate.

Mr. Dan Lang would occasionally mention his son, Grayson, to me while I was in his seventh grade English class. Two years later, I was very fortunate to meet Grayson in high school. We were both members of “The Board” surf club in high school. He was a crucial member of our “Board meetings” no matter how cold or how big the waves were. Although we didn’t have any classes together in high school, we made up for that by taking a Shakespeare class together at the University of San Diego. Yes, we share numerous hobbies, but more importantly, Grayson is a man dedicated to hard work, principle, and standing tall against all odds while always being a happy warrior. That is why he is my “foxhole friend.” I could not be happier for the Irish newlyweds and celebrating all that life has in store for them.

Meaghan and I first met at a little brewery in North Park, bonding over our shared love of trivia (and maybe a few beers - hazys only). From that moment on, our friendship has been filled with unforgettable adventures—whether it was Meaghan breaking it down in the middle of a Gaslamp dance circle on our first night out, sweating through hot yoga classes, indulging in Bachelor nights, or finding a new brewery or coffee shop to try off tik tok. We’ve camped under the stars in Big Bear, Joshua Tree, and Zion, danced our hearts out at CRSSD, dived with sharks in Hawaii (ask us for the full story later), and even braved a surprise snowstorm at Red Rocks just to see Sofi Tukker (four times and counting ;)). And of course, I I’ll never forget the day she brought the tiniest, cutest puppy into all of our lives. 💕 She may love her street meat, but keep the tree nuts far away—this girl does, in fact, have her limits! From the moment we both landed in San Diego, Meaghan has been a partner in crime and adventure, and I can’t wait to stand by her side on her big day. Knowing Meaghan, it’s going to be nothing short of perfectly curated, ridiculously cute and classy, and an all-around fun-ass time. Love you, girl—let’s do this thing!!

I was lucky to meet Grayson through Meaghan—she thought we’d hit it off, but I don’t think she could have predicted just how close we’d become. Grayson is the kind of friend everyone wants—he makes everything more fun. He’s always bringing people together, whether it’s hosting a BBQ (the guy is an absolute grill master), organizing a Padres game, or setting up tee times for the boys. In just four years, we’ve created countless memories—music festivals, golfing at Torrey Pines, celebrating birthdays in Vegas, watching the Eagles at Pretzels and Pints, camping off the grid in Joshua Tree, private DJs sets (by Grayson) and racking up trivia night wins. Whether it’s a big event or just kicking back to watch a game, if you’re with Grayson, you know you’re in for a good time. Living by his famous words: “Everything in moderation is good, even moderation.” I’m grateful to call both Grayson and Meaghan my friends, and I’m honored to celebrate their big day with them!

Hi!! My husband and I were lucky enough to have Grayson and Meaghan move into the same building in San Diego as us. We made fast friends through our mutual love for Philadelphia sports and our perfect dogs that adore each other. We are so blessed to have found such wonderful friends in Meag and Gray and we can’t wait to watch these lovebirds tie the knot!

Meag and Gray’s favorite neighbor! Dog walks, week night grilling, a love of baseball, and me drinking all of Gray’s beer has been the foundation to our awesome friendship. Can’t wait to celebrate the best couple on their big day!

Howdy! I was lucky enough to meet Meaghan when I first moved to San Diego, and I absolutely cannot imagine where I’d be without her in my life! Bumble BFF succeeded in matching our chatty yapper, adventure-driven, dog-loving selves together! My partner Andrew and I are so grateful to have the best double date partners in Meaghan and Grayson, and can’t wait to celebrate them on their big day!

I have had the great privilege of knowing Grayson since he was 2 years old. Not much has changed; Grayson is just as goofy, horribly clumsy, and incredibly caring. He is a friend that will drop anything (including fragile toys) to be there for you. Grayson has been a cornerstone in many of my life's stages: breaking my lego creations and fueling an internal rage that still burns today, opening a door to my career in construction, and standing with me while I said my vows to my wife. I cannot imagine my life without Grayson and I cannot wait to see where this next stage in his life takes him!

I met Meaghan on an app (how Gen Z of us!), and what started as a digital connection quickly blossomed into fast friendship. From our very first meetup, I knew there was something special about Meaghan's warm spirit and infectious laugh. Some of my favorite memories with Meaghan involve our adventures around San Diego - discovering new coffee spots, taking long walks while catching up on life, and spending afternoons at the zoo with Frannie (her soon to be sister-in-law). When Grayson (Kobe's dad, for those who may not know him!) came into my life through Meaghan, I gained not just one amazing friend, but two. Watching their love story unfold has been such a joy, from cozy nights in to exploring all that San Diego has to offer. Meaghan has this rare gift of making everyone around her feel seen, loved, and valued. I'm so grateful that a simple swipe led me to such an incredible friend, and I couldn't be more excited to celebrate this beautiful next chapter in her love story!

Vibrantly charismatic, refreshingly authentic and genuinely transparent. Grayson and Meaghan have done nothing but open their arms to those around them. It’s hard to come across individuals of such caliber. For those of us from up North, they’ve become an anchor here in Southern California—a steady presence that brings comfort and community. Showing up everyday with a smile on their face. Whether you’ve known them for a decade or a day, they make you feel like family. Every minute we can get with them —people who not only lift up those around them but do so without ever asking for anything in return. Grayson and Meaghan resemble everything you could hope for in friends, in partners, in people—and now, as husband and wife, they are the very best of what love looks like. It’s a joy to know them—and a greater joy to celebrate them today.

Meag and I first met at Bucknell where we ran on the track team together. Since then we’ve made our bicoastal relationship work, with me taking trips to San Diego to visit Meag, Grayon and nephew Kobe, and Meag popping into NYC when she makes it back to the east coast. I’m so excited to be a part of Meag and Grayson’s special day and celebrate their love!

For the last four years, I’ve been lucky enough to watch Grayson and Meaghan grow together, not only as a couple but as two people who bring out the best in everyone around them. From trivia nights filled with inside jokes to baseball games where they cheer side by side, their energy is contagious. Grayson and I have also shared countless workouts, and I can honestly say his drive and focus are fueled in part by the incredible support he has from Meaghan. Their relationship is a constant reminder that love isn’t just about grand gestures—it’s about being each other’s teammate in every season of life.

Meaghan and I met at Bucknell University on the track team! I remember meeting Meaghan freshman year on the football field during orientation activities and she was walking with Daija. Three years later, me Daija and Meaghan moved in together in Lewisburg and were captains of the track team together!! I’ve been lucky enough to get out to San Diego a couple times the last couple years and got to see Meag and meet Grayson :)

Grayson and I met in Track and Field Freshman year at Parker. Once he quit football (after only 1 season) and joined the dark side of cross country, the rest was history. We would go on to be each other’s teammates, classmates, and eventually colleagues as we co-coached the same team we became friends on. From hill sprints up Via Las Cumbres to beer miles around Point Loma Nazarene, excited to be there for Grayson and Meaghan on their special day

When I met Grayson in 2017, it was my first month in a new city after leaving Seattle with little direction and one connection my age. Luckily for me, that one connection was Grayson’s sophomore roommate at USD and one casual hangout sparked what is now a lifetime friendship. Since then, we’ve travelled together, backpacked, rock climbed, attended concerts, cleaned dishes together at Bub’s at the Beach (RIP), played on softball teams, and crashed on each other’s couches across more houses, apartments, friend groups and neighborhoods than I can count. Whether it’s at another famous Thanksgiving at the Langs’, an Easter brunch, or simply a quick beer to catch up, Grayson is one of those friends that I am truly happy to see every single time. I watched as he met Meaghan and their love quickly took root. I’m proud to say that it was through mutual connections that their lives crossed for the first time. The rest is history. I am beyond honored to be able to play a role in their special day. Cheers to Grayson and Meaghan and I will see you all on the dance floor.
