Wedding Party
Esther Patterson
Maid of Honor
Esther is Hope's older sister and built in best friend. Hope has always looked up to Esther is a figurative sense as Hope got the height gene instead of Esther. They have a very textbook sister relationship and fought likes cats and dogs when they were younger but as adults have found that they truly do enjoy hanging out together.
Heather Waldrup Jenkins
Matron of Honor
Hope met Heather in middle school and they have been best friends since. Their friendship has survived long distance (more than once). Heather with her vibrant red hair has always been a bit on the wild side whereas Hope kept them more on the safe side. They have always had a beautiful balance through their years.
Marjorie Baskin
Bridesmaid
Marjorie is Hope's bonus sister and has been such an amazing addition to the "Patterson Sisters". Marjorie has always been supportive and provided advice throughout the years. They became sisters by choice instead of blood.
Caroline Cooper
Bridesmaid
Hope and Caroline met in 2017 at work and became great friends. Of course we hang out with the people we work with more than our family so they were able to talk about everything. Caroline helped through dating, parenting, and career development and became a lifeline for Hope over the years.
Sean Doty
Best Man
Since the age of 4 and 5, James, his brother Joe, and Sean have been virtually inseperable. A friendship that has spanned across 30 years, there was no better option for best man than Sean. From the love of all things racing and University of Florida athletics, all the way through the highs and lows of life, thye've been each other's rock, and the person that each can lean on no matter where or when the opportunity presents itself.
Joe Wallace
Groomsman
Joe is James' brother and the youngest memeber of the trio that's run together with James and his best man Sean for the last 30 years. As they've gotten older, Joe and James' relationship has become one that each can rely on. While Joe does have his downsides (Red Sox, FSU, Denny Hamlin), they seem to grow closer as time goes on.
Matt Moeller
Groomsman
Having met in 2015, James and Matt have been good friends ever since. From working along side each other in the NASCAR garage, to relaxing ourside of it, you can find these two usually hanging out by the garage. Matt has been a stable supporter for the past 11 years, and is one of the most genuine peole you will find.
Ryan Mingo
Groomsman
Meeting in 2019, Ryan and James quickly developed a bond over racing and life in general. Constantly running together up and down the road on the way to and from the racetracks, to scheming how to find some way to work with each other, Ryan's friendship and loyalty make him on of the best people you could meet.
