Anne-Marie & Joey
Wedding Party
Jordan Zydel
Matron of Honor
Jordan is a fellow Gamecock and a Gamma Phi Beta sorority sister! I couldn't imagine college without Jordan, we had dance parties, went to sorority functions, cheered on the Gamecocks, and visited the zoo (often). I got the chance to stand by Jordan on her and Tom's special day and I can't wait to have her beside me when I say "I do!” Life wouldn’t be the same without her!
Steven Gurley
Best Man
Steven is my favorite oldest brother. We go way back to around the time I was born. We had our differences growing up, but also our similarities. I always looked up to him and wanted to be like him in many ways. He heavily influenced my love for cars, my taste in music, and my love for football. Anytime the parents were out of the house, Steven would always go to his room and jam out on the guitar as loud as possible. I would be sitting downstairs singing along and not dancing or anything weird. He was always quiet but strong and always has my back.
Kristan Gurley
Bridesmaid
My future sister-in-law! Kristan has treated me like one of the family since the first day she met me, when Joey invited me last minute to a Mother's Day brunch at her house. We have had great times celebrating family holidays, traveling (Hello Disney World!), and game nights. Can’t wait for all the future celebrations to come, starting with the wedding!
Jeremy Gurley
Best Man
Jeremy is my favorite middle brother. Boy did we fight a lot growing up, but we always had love and respect for each other. He was a band geek which was great for me because it got me to all the high school football games. Once him and their old band got together we started forming a much more meaningful bond. I loved going with him to all of his shows and carrying his drums back and forth. Now we love doing things as family or just hanging out playing Halo.
Samantha (Sam) Smith
Bridesmaid
I can't believe it's only been three years since I met Sam. I love our morning walks where we spend time talking about our lives and getting fit together. We love to watch football together, even though she is a Redskins fan and I'm a Panthers fan, she even supports the Gamecocks by rocking her Cocks hat. Sam always builds me up and reminds me that I can do anything and I couldn't imagine getting married without her. Also need her there to remind me my Apple Watch isn’t sexy and I can’t wear it down the aisle :)
Greg Hurley
Groomsman
Greg is my favorite future brother in law. From the start Anne Marie has stated how important family is to her, I knew Greg had to be a groomsman as we tie the knot and become one Hurley Gurley family.
Jennifer (Jen) Howell
Bridesmaid
Jen and I have been friends since freshman year sorority recruitment. We were both in the same Pi Chi group but ended up rushing different sororities. Even though we were in different sororities in college, I have always considered Jen like a sister. We even went as far as taking classes we didn't need for our majors so we could have classes together. Jen is my world traveller friend, she has lived in so many fun places and lucky me I always get to visit. Our most notable trip being the time we missed our train from Paris to London and ended up being upgraded to first class.
Josh Korth
Groomsman
Josh was my neighbor and one of my best friends throughout high school. We would walk around the neighborhood almost every night and talk about literally anything and everything. Afterwards, we would drive to Cook Out or Taco Bell for a late dinner singing along horribly to our favorite bands. He kind of got me my first job at the golf course where we spent a lot of time goofing off and hitting golf balls into the lake. After high school Josh moved away for college, but any time he is in town we make it a point to walk the neighborhood or at least hit up Cook Out for a milkshake.
Marinna Copanezos
Bridesmaid
I had played football with Marinna before but I didn't get the opportunity to really know Marinna until Joey and I started dating. Marinna and Kyle were good friends with Joey and on the day of our first date Marinna came up to me at the football field and told me "Joey is like my son, he is a great guy." I will never forget that. Clearly the date went well and we have had many double dates with Marinna and Kyle. Marinna is a truly selfless person who always supports me. An added bonus, she kicks butt at football and has even shared a few moves.
Kyle Parrish
Groomsman
I met Kyle many years ago when I was invited out to play a game of tackle football which turned into an almost weekly thing. One day Kyle invited me to play quarterback for his flag football team which I immediately accepted. He's been my number one receiver ever since. We spend a lot of time going out for beers or hanging out for game nights.
Elizabeth (Liz) Heald
Bridesmaid
Liz and I met for a drink and tacos and left dinner as roommates. Our moms knew each other and thought we should meet since we were both looking for a roommate and a place to live. It was fate, not only did I get a roommate, I got a best friend. Liz and I share a love of Panthers football, ice pops, and Ke$ha. I was lucky to get to be with Liz on her wedding day and I can't wait for her to be there for mine.
Jason Wittersheim
Groomsman
JASON!!! is the way I say his name every time I see him. Jason joined my brothers old band a long time ago and we have been great friends ever since. I've always loved how talented this man is at anything he wants to do. I don't think I can have a bad time when he is around, he is too much fun and very easy to talk to. He has one of the best personalities of anyone I've ever met.
Sarah Billington
Bridesmaid
Sarah is another Gamecock and Gamma Phi Beta sorority sister. While I hung out with Sarah in college, we really got the opportunity to become close friends when she moved to Charlotte after college. We lived together, we made a great group of friends, and we went on movie dates to all the animated movies. Sarah recently moved to Boston (which I always knew would happen eventually) but I am so glad she will be back to stand by my side on my wedding day.
Riku Lepisto
Groomsman
Riku is one of the easiest friends I ever made. We met on a trip to Asheville with a group of friends and I felt like I knew him for the longest time. That trip sparked a bromance in its truest form. Riku is damn near a brother to me and I know we got each others back whenever either of us would need it.
Roman Gurley
Ring Bearer
Our favorite Nephew! Love this kid to Disney and back.
