Hunter & Miriam
Wedding Party
Colby Deforge
Best Man
Meet my brother Cubby! We've been through it all together and there isn't any other person I'd like to call my Best Man. We grew up together and Charlottesville and only had each other to play with and bug everyday and I'm honored to call him my best friend. He is an aspiring pilot in the United States Air Force and works harder than anyone I know. His comical storytelling and entertaining personality make for a great night! If you see him at the wedding, be sure to ask him why he's my best man.
Rebekah Lokits
Maid of Honor
Oh Beks... she is one of my older sisters, an avid baker, adventurer, keeper of a messy (not to her) room, free spirit, caring, funny, goofy and wonderfully kind-hearted human that I call a best friend. She is truly amazing and has been my companion for all of my childhood from sharing beds to staying up late making dance routines. I would not be the same person I am today without her "letting" me wear her clothes and listen to her advice. She always talks me up but she is truly one of the greatest people I've ever known and I am so lucky to call her my sister and bestie. Love you mean it Beks!
Craig Cook
Groomsman
I didn't like Craig much when he first moved here over 10 years ago but we bonded over the years through soccer and basketball and throughout each season. Craig is the type of friend who will do anything for a friend and he's always down for an adventure. He's hardworking, resilient, kind, trustworthy and has never backed down from any obstacle thrown his way. He is currently a student at Emory and Henry with the goal of becoming a detective one day.
Alyssa Lokits
Maid of Honor
Lyssa Lou! The wonderful, oldest sister who is much wiser than I but who's wisdom and knowledge I cherish. She is a true world traveler, comedian, independent, organized, badass, and all around wonderful human that just so happens to be my sister as well! She is someone who always pushes me to be the best and accepts nothing less. I love her to the ends of the earth and hope to travel them with her someday. Love you mean it Lou!
Alton Peters
Groomsman
Alton and I met freshman year orientation and is also one of my roommates I have lived with the past three years. We always knew when he was coming down the hall because he would either be singing or swinging his key chain around and that is probably what you will find him doing if you see him now. I have cherished the countless nights of Logan and Alton arguing over nothing just because one of them has to beat the other. The combination of his lack of a filter and his graceful moves and athletic abilities provide a fun time with a lot of memories.
Clay Connor
Bridesmaid
This lovely human and I met Junior year of high school over a mutual love for granola. She has been a constant friend all throughout college and the roller coaster of my life. I trust her through thick & thin and am forever thankful for her kindness, spontaneity, coffee dates, long talks, pool dates, pictures, devotionals, and encouraging words. She is pure sunshine and happiness and I love her to the moon!
Logan McElhaney
Groomsman
You'll know him when you see him and you probably won't forget him. DJ LoMaC is one of the funniest and craziest people I have ever met or come into contact with. If you ever have the opportunity to drink with him, you take it. I met him freshman year next door and we have lived with each other since and he has created many many memories that I will never forget, even if I wanted to. He has no filter and isn't afraid to be himself.
Jackie Stroessner
Bridesmaid
My freshman college roomie who I never planned on being best friends with but am glad I did! Jackie is one of those humans who is always up for a challenge and will always push you to your limits (in the best way). She never fails to make me laugh. She goes with the flow and enjoys life to the fullest. I'm am still shocked I have found someone who is as competitive and up for a good time as Hunter. Them together is truly a sight to see, enjoy watching them at the wedding! Love my little New Yorker!
Ryan Lowry
Groomsman
Ryan is my first and oldest friend going all the way back to when we were just little kids. We played baseball, fished, camped, and much more throughout the years. One of the only people I know who will ride around town all day on a tank of gas just because he wants to drive or drive fours a day to work and back. He his truly a character and one of the funniest and best dancers I know! He was recently enlisted in the Coast Guard and is working hard to become a state trooper.
Alexandra Brierly
Bridesmaid
This girl is the only reason I would ever fly back to Missouri and visit that small town. We became besties in middle school and after moving here to VA we took turns every year flying out to see one another over the summers. She and I have had many a zoo & Disney movie dates with long naps afterwards. I can forever count on her for coffee, cuddles, and an encouraging chat. She is one of a kind and a constant rock in my life. From calling her with news of my first kiss to prom dress shopping, to talking about my proposal, she has always been there. Beyond lucky and blessed to know this lovely, red head. Wouldn't want to fly to MO for just anyone! Love you Alex.
Maddy Wheeler
Photographer
I have known Maddy since freshman year at CNU. She is the beautiful girlfriend to one of my good friends Parker. I loved when she came to visit from William & Mary because she was such a breath of fresh air. She never failed to make me smile and always had something nice to say. She loves all things quaint, warm coffee, pastels, sweaters, star wars and photography. We used to talk about our dream weddings when she came to visit and I am beyond honored and blessed to have her as our engagement and wedding photography. She is goofy and wonderful in every way and the wedding would not be complete without her. I know she isn't an "official" person in the wedding party but she is most definitely needed! Much love and kisses for this girl. #MadelineQuinnPhotography
