Wedding Party

Georgia Heckel

Maid of Honor

Georgia and Taylor met in 10th grade and have been practically inseparable since. They met at a youth church camp retreat where for a solid month the entire staff prayed for the 1 attendee of the camp- Georgia Heckel (more attendees eventually joined her). Taylor and Georgia connected instantly and their friendship has grown ever since. Georgia loves hiking, her dog Tucker, bears, and the University of South Carolina. Taylor and Georgia both attended each other's respective high school and college graduations, so they can't imagine going through another large life event without each other. Georgia is currently working as an ER nurse at Baylor in downtown Dallas.

Will Latham aka Billy Law

Best Man

Paul and Will began their friendship through the hardships of Ottoman Turks, but they truly bonded at Texas A&M as they found their joy in drinking cheap beer, listening to Jimmy Eat World, and celebrating Palentine's Day annually on February 14th. Today, they continue to strengthen their friendship by drinking cheap beer, listening to Jimmy Eat World, and celebrating Palentine's Day annually on February 14th. Together, Paul and Will serve as the rhythmic duo driving Ottoman Turks. Will is married to Matron of Honor Marisa Latham and is father to their sweet baby Lucy. Will recently released his debut album Somewhere Alone through his solo project, Billy Law. Stream it here: https://billylaw.bandcamp.com/album/somewhere-alone

Marisa Latham

Matron of Honor

Marisa and Taylor are perfect. Marisa and Taylor met on the happy couple's second date. This time was integral to Taylor's assimilation into Paul's friend group and the girls immediately clicked. Taylor, Paul, Marisa, and Will now make up 'Square' (now 'Pentagon' with the new Latham addition!). They enjoy traveling to breweries, playing board games, attending Ottoman Turk shows, and generally hanging out in each other's company. Taylor can't imagine going through this day without Marisa by her side and is incredibly happy to have found such a steadfast friend through her relationship with Paul. *cries*

Nathan Mongol Wells

Groomsman

Nathan and Paul met in 7th grade as Paul tried to turn Nathan on to post-hardcore band Silverstein. This recommendation did not stick, but they did bond over Green Day, The Strokes, and Bright Eyes. With an itch to create music and wanting to be "cool", Nathan and Paul first played together in The Hot Tickets in high school and currently perform together in Ottoman Turks. Nathan is amongst Paul's oldest friends, which Paul noted recently as "not a coincidence". Nathan is married to Courtney Wright, together sharing custody over their sweet puppy Emmy. His solo project "Nathan Mongol Wells" plans to release its debut album in 2022.

Blake Sparks- Swearingen

Bridesmaid

Sister of the Bride! Taylor and Blake share a mutual love of Parker and Jonah, Harry Potter, and Pirates of the Caribbean. While they might not have grown up together the two are now incredibly close and are excited to get to spend this happy and momentous occasion together. Taylor was also a bridesmaid in Blake's wedding to Kyle in 2017 and the two have traveled to visit each other multiple times since. Taylor cannot imagine marrying Paul without her big sister by her side. Blake is married to Kyle Swearingen and is the mother of Jonah and flower girl Parker!

Bobby Greiner

Groomsman

Bobby entered Paul's life when he began dating Paul's sister, Diana. With Paul being skeptical of newcomers, Bobby eventually won him over through shared loves of Halo, hockey, and homecooked Mexican food. Today they enjoy spending time together on the golf course and conversing over Manhattans, hand-crafted by Bobby. Bobby has served as a mentor to Paul during his adult life and has been like a brother throughout. Bobby is married to Bridesmaid Diana Greiner and is father to Flower Girl Amelia Greiner and Ringbearer Noah Greiner.

Diana Greiner

Bridesmaid

Sister of the Groom Taylor and Diana have bonded as friends and future sisters. Taylor first met Diana as well as she and Paul’s parents at Texas Theater to see a Beatles documentary. They share a mutual love of charcuterie boards, reading, wine, the Beatles, Paul, and Amelia and Noah. They can frequently be found discussing their latest book club books over snacks and a glass of wine with Taylor Swift playing in the background. The pair are excited to continue to grow their friendship as sisters-in-law. Diana is married to Groomsman Bobby Greiner and is the mother of Flower Girl Amelia and Ring Bearer Noah.

Joshua Ray Walker

Groomsman

Country Singer Joshua Ray Walker and Paul became fast friends after the former joined Ottoman Turks. They have played dozens of shows together trading guitar and drum solos seamlessly. They've spent late-drives together airdrumming to "A Song for the Dead" and discussing music that repulses the rest of the Turks. Josh has since been a trusted friend of Paul's, always willing lend an ear through the good times and the bad. The two spent time together at the infamous Pinebluff house where Josh was an officially-unofficial roommate. Though you may not have personally met Josh, after a few minutes of conversation you will have found a new friend. His most recent album, See You Next Time was released in October.

Hannah Grace Summerlin

Bridesmaid

Taylor and Hannah Grace met in college at Texas A&M University (A-WHOOP!). They lived across the hall from each other in the freshmen year off-campus dorms and eventually sat together in the cafeteria with Dru and Anna Laura. The four quickly became friends and were college roommates for the next 3 years. Hannah Grace was Taylor's first two-step partner and is who to credit for the fancy spins and dips Taylor and Paul will do on the dance floor of their wedding. Hannah Grace received her Masters in Spanish linguistics from Texas State University and is now a shaping the minds of tomorrow as a Spanish teacher in Dallas ISD.

Luke Garry

Groomsman

Luke is Paul's future brother-in-law and Taylor's current brother. Luke takes pride in being the head-chef of the family, in particular if he ever offers you a burger, you take it. In his free time he loves getting brunch with his friends and running AV and singing at his church. Luke is an incredibly sweet kid who has been welcoming to Paul since the very beginning. They share a love of Taylor and are excited to become brothers-in-law.
