Wedding Party
Connor McBride
Best Man
My brother, Connor, has been with me through thick and thin since the beginning. As we have grown older, I now view him as not only a great younger brother, but also one of my best friends. He has a great sense of humor (even if I am on the other end of his jokes like I typically can be), and he is extremely loyal and level-headed. Younger me would not have ever imagined that I would be this proud of where his life has taken him. He probably has some dirt on me from growing up, so I am hesitant to say to ask him about it...but go for it. Couldn't imagine this day without him as my Best Man!
Sealy Adair
Maid of Honor
Sealy Kate!! My little sister, my biggest supporter, and one of my very best friends. Growing up, we were always complete opposites, and honestly, we still are! I think that's what makes our relationship so special. We balance each other perfectly and complement one another in such a unique way. I'm so grateful for the way she encourages me to step outside my comfort zone and pushes me to pursue my goals. I love being her big sister, and I couldn't be more thankful to have her standing by my side on such a special day.
Jacob Duffer
Officiant/Groomsman
Jacob has been one of the most consistent and wisest friends that I have ever had. He is also one of the main reasons why Jacey and I are getting married as well! Since freshman year of college, as well as the two years we lived together, Jacob and I have bonded over a multitude of things including Baylor sports, inside jokes, music, working out and being active, and most importantly, our faiths. He has always been my go-to for faith based discussions and questions, as he is the most Biblically wise person I know. He also has the most iconic laugh of all time...if you know, you know. We are honored to have him serve as both groomsman and officiant of our wedding!
Adriana Garcia
Bridesmaid
Adriana is the definition of loyal. We met through dance in high school and later attended Texas A&M together, and I am so thankful our paths continued to align. Our friendship truly flourished during college, and I cannot imagine my life without her in it. She is a steadfast and genuine friend who shows up for the people she loves day after day. Having her stand by my side on my wedding day was an easy decision, and I am so grateful to have her beside me as I celebrate this special moment.
Caden Costigan
Groomsman
My absolute twin. Literally. People used to get us confused because we used to be the same person (same hair, same build, same hobbies). But now he beat me in the facial hair and lifting departments. On a more serious note, I have known Caden since kindergarten, and there is a reason we are still best friends to this day. We both absolutely love watching movies, playing video games, grabbing dinner, and playing Catan together. He is also one of the most constant and hardest working people I know, and he never fails to make our friendship feel so important and pursued. He is currently serving our metroplex as a firefighter and is loving it! My brother for life. If you see him, ask him about his favorite movies/TV shows!
Allison Clancy
Bridesmaid
Allison has been a part of my life since the 6th grade, and it is so special to be sharing this season with someone I have grown alongside for so many years. One of the things I admire most about Allison is her compassion and the way she selflessly serves the people she loves. From years spent traveling to dance competitions and getting ready for football games to navigating adulthood together, we have made countless memories along the way. Her faith shines through in the way she loves others, and I am grateful for how she continually encourages me to grow closer to Christ. Our years of friendship make this day even more meaningful, and I am so blessed to call her one of my best friends.
Christopher Navarro
Groomsman
California Chrizz! Don't let his cowboy hat in his picture fool you, as Chris is a true Californian at heart and always will be! I met Chris freshman year at Baylor and had the pleasure of not only living with him in the same house, but also sharing a room with him for two years. There are too many words to describe Chris' character, but I will put it plainly: he is the kindest, most genuine, and sincerest friend I have. I have always looked up to how he serves others so well and does so with the best attitude! He never fails to brighten up your day and make you feel like the most special and important person in the room. He's also way smarter than me as he is crushing it at medical school down in H-Town. You should ask him about it!
Bethany Tomlin
Bridesmaid
Bethany and I met on the very same day that Jack and I did, and both of them very quickly became special to me. My life has changed so much since our friendship began, and Bethany has been such a key part of that journey. She is joyful, encouraging, and, as it turns out, a pretty great matchmaker—she and Jacob are the reason Jack and I met! From the very beginning, Bethany felt more like an old friend than a new one. She has a gift for making people feel known and loved, taking the time to truly get to know them beyond the surface level. I am so grateful for her friendship and for the role she has played in my life. It means so much to have her standing by my side on such a life-changing day.
Daniel Mankarious
Groomsman
I met Daniel when he transferred to my school in 8th grade and immediately connected with him as we both were on the basketball team. We played basketball together for 5 straight years (8th grade through senior year) and made countless memories. And it only got better when he decided to also attend Baylor University where we got to continue growing closer as friends. Daniel has always been a very wise, logical, and down to earth friend, and consistently shows up when he is needed. He currently is finishing up his final year of law school at SMU, so that also probably makes him smarter than me. Another thing to note is that he is the biggest Dallas Mavs fan I know! Be sure to test his Mavericks ball knowledge, but maybe stay clear from asking him about the Luka trade...
Camille Ramsey
Bridesmaid
Camille and I met in high school, but our friendship truly grew when we had the opportunity to serve in ministry together. Serving side by side created a special bond that I will always be grateful for. Camille’s joy, enthusiasm, and genuine care for others are evident in everything she does. She has a gift for making everyone feel seen and valued, and her compassion never wavers. I am so thankful for her friendship and feel incredibly blessed to have her standing by my side on such a meaningful day. It’s especially meaningful to look back and realize how our friendship grew at just the right time. If you had asked me in high school, I never would have imagined that we would be here today, but I am so grateful we are. I would not have it any other way!
Dylan Saunders
Groomsman
Oh Dylan, my Dylan. Where do I even begin? He is the only person that can turn any ordinary moment into a comedy club, with the driest, but funniest sense of humor. I met Dylan freshman year at Baylor and got to live with him for two years as well. It's hard to describe him as he can be both equally mysterious and outgoing at the same time. He cares so much for all his friends and is my go-to for deep, intellectual conversations that can last hours. I've always appreciated how passionate he is about the things he cares about, whether that's the book he's reading, the Fortnite game he is playing, the people he is keeping up with, or ChatGPT. Make sure to ask him to tell you a joke, and be warned...it could take a while.
Danielle Walls
Bridesmaid
Danielle brightens every room she walks into and makes every situation feel a little lighter. We became friends while serving together in ministry, and God placed her in my life at such a special time. Dani has never met a stranger and has a gift for making everyone feel welcomed and loved. She is dedicated in everything she does, approaches life with contagious enthusiasm, and is always ready for a new adventure. Life with Dani is never boring, and I'm so grateful she's always encouraging me to step outside of my comfort zone. I couldn't be more thankful to have her standing by my side on such a special day.
Guy Lanier
Groomsman
Guy La[insert anything] is a long-time friend and longest tenured roommate of mine. I met him freshman year at Baylor and lived with him for four years straight dating back to junior year of college. It is hard to describe Guy, only because he is a mixture of every single one of the good things you can think of for someone. He always knows what to say and when to say it. Whether you need a logical, wise, grounded, even a robotic Guy, or if you need a friendly, kind, loving Guy, you can get both! And that's why I value our friendship so much. He is also the best advice-giver -- you would think he has experienced everything that life has to offer already with the wisdom he gives you on a daily basis. But that is just the way he is wired! He is devoted to his friends, his family, his work, and his faith, and even through that, he still never fails to see the good in others and the good in life. Thankful for him as a friend and brother. Feel free to ask if uses a USB or USB-C port to charge at night.
Isabelle Simpson
Bridesmaid
Isabelle and I can usually be found quoting funny videos or having an intense theological conversation... there's really no in-between! We also met while serving together in ministry and quickly became friends. Isabelle is loyal and deeply committed to the people she loves, and I am so thankful to be on the receiving end of that kind of friendship. She loves to laugh, has a gift for making others laugh, and is endlessly curious about life's many mysteries. Her desire to keep learning inspires me to ask more questions and grow in my own faith and understanding. I am so honored to call her my friend and feel incredibly blessed to have her standing by my side on this special day.
Jordan Kakish
Groomsman
Jordan became a part of the fam when he married my sister in April, but has been around long before that! We have had several memories made and laughs had at family Thanksgiving get-togethers every year. One thing to note about Jordan: he will beat you in any sort of board game/party game that you play him in. He's just naturally amazing at those games! It truly has been a pleasure having him as part of our family for the last handful of years and I am thankful for the way he loves others and cherishes those around him. Some fun facts about him include: he is a huge Vikings fan, he also shares my love for Star Wars, and he has an incredible taste in music. Honored to have him as a part of our special day!
Kendall Waguespack
Bridesmaid
Kendall and I met while attending Texas A&M, and for four years we spent so much of life side by side, either studying together, going to small groups, or finding any excuse to grab a sweet treat. Kendall is one of the most loyal and selfless people I know, always putting the needs of others before her own. One summer, after I broke my foot and couldn't drive, Kendall and her family welcomed me into their home. She drove me wherever I needed to go, but more importantly, she made sure I never felt alone in a season when I needed support. That kind of love and generosity is simply who Kendall is. She shows up for the people she loves without hesitation, and I am endlessly grateful to be one of those people. Having her stand by my side on my wedding day means more than I can put into words.
Landon Lewis
Groomsman
One of two identical twins that I have known and been best friends with since we were babies. I always was extremely thankful our parents' were friends and had us around the same time! But Landon has been there since the very beginning, longer than anyone but my own family, but the cool thing is that I consider him as a true brother. From little league/middle school basketball, bike rides, filming movies, local fishing trips, joint family vacations, and so many more memories, I have experienced all that life has to offer with Landon and his brother Luke. One word I like to use to describe Landon is purposeful. Everything he does has a purpose, and more often than not, that purpose is to love the people around him the best way he can. I am eternally grateful for the lifetime of memories I have shared with him and the continued brotherhood we will continue to experience for years to come.
Laura Hollis
Bridesmaid
Laura and I met in the 6th grade when we were both new students at the same school, and my life was never the same after that. Laura quickly became my first true friend during a time in my life that was difficult and uncertain, and she brought so much consistency and light into those years. She was always part of everything I did... family vacations, endless nights at each other’s houses, and all the little moments in between that shaped our growing up. As we’ve gotten older, our friendship has remained steady and unchanged, even as life has looked different. Through every season, I have always known she would be there for me, and there was never a doubt that I would want her by my side on such an important day. I am so grateful for a friendship that has truly lasted a lifetime.
Luke Lewis
Groomsman
And then you got the other identical twin, also who I have known and been best friends with since birth. There is no other way to describe Luke other than adventurous! The majority of my adventures and crazy memories from childhood came from ideas that sprung up in Luke's head. But that is why I love him like a brother too, not only because of the lifelong memories we have made together, but also because he makes life fun. Luke is the life of the party and never fails to make anyone and everyone feel included, which is something I admire so much about him and his character. I am extremely lucky to have such a close friendship with someone I have known for this long, and am thankful for his dedication to pursuing the joy that life has to offer. You'll probably see him tearing it up on the dance floor no matter what song is playing!
Lauren Kakish
Bridesmaid
Lauren, Jack’s big sister, has been such a special part of our relationship. As someone who has always been the big sister, I deeply understand and appreciate the role she plays in Jack’s life. That kind of protective, unconditional love is something I recognize well, and it has meant so much to see it extended to both of us. Lauren is thoughtful, supportive, and intentional in the way she loves others. I am so grateful for her and for the relationship we’ve built, and I feel incredibly lucky to be gaining a big sister of my own.
Matthew Frisby
Groomsman
I met Matt senior year of college, but have had the absolute pleasure of getting to live with him for over two years since graduating, as well as growing closer to him in our church's community group! Matt, unlike the rest of my groomsmen, I have known for the least amount of time, but even then, it feels like we have grown so close and made countless memories together. He is one of the most steadfast, Spirit-filled people I know, and it always encourages me seeing his outward love and gratitude for the Gospel and what Jesus has done for us. Matt is no stranger to anyone and has an incredible ability to make anyone in the room feel loved and cared for, no matter how long he has known them. He is also the biggest Arsenal F.C. fan I know, as the passion he has for Arsenal is the same passion I have for Baylor athletics, if not more. And, they just won the Premier League earlier this year! You should ask him about it!
Melinda Lee
Bridesmaid
Mindy and I have known each other for years. We first met in middle school and later became college roommates. I truly would not be the same without her. Over the years, she has shaped my confidence and creativity in more ways than I can count, and our friendship has been woven into so many of life’s most meaningful seasons. We spent most of college driving to class together, staying up late talking, going to church, and traveling (including a trip to Ireland). It feels like she is part of nearly every major memory I have from the past several years. Now, we are stepping into a new season as coworkers, getting to teach dance in the same school district. Mindy is a fun-loving, loyal, and true friend, and one of my deepest and most treasured friendships.
Nolan Runnels
Groomsman
I have been friends with Nolan since sophomore year at Baylor, and we got to live together for two years at Braums and a little after graduation as well before he got married. During the time that we lived together, Nolan was always my go-to when it came to hopping in his Jeep and jamming out to music together. I always enjoyed our late night drives and talks just showing each other our favorite music. Nolan is also a very wise and mature friend who I always seem to get little pieces of advice from, even without having to ask! This is also seen in his faith as well, which is something he takes very seriously and dedicates time and energy every day to seek new opportunities to grow in his relationship with Jesus. Now, even through all that, Nolan is also very eclectic. I have never understood his passion and love for Anime, but at least I gave it a try one time. He's also part wolf as well, so we should all cross our fingers for a full moon the night of our wedding...
Luke Boydstun
Usher
I am thankful that Luke is also a part of this wedding because he might be one of the funniest guys I know. I also met him sophomore year of college, but really became close with him after graduation when we both moved to Dallas, started attending Watermark together, and joined the same community group together. Luke is someone who I have really enjoyed traveling with in the past, as that is a big passion for him. Whether it was a mission trip to Tennessee, ski trip to Colorado, or camping trip to Yosemite National Park in California, I have shared tons of memories with Luke around the country. Along with travel memories, Luke has an uncanny ability to brighten the room with his sense of humor and enthusiasm. I am very grateful for our friendship and how it has grown over the last few years, and I am happy that he gets to play a part in Jacey and I's special day. If you love traveling, you should ask him about some of the trips he's taken, they're pretty amazing.
Reese Rivera
Usher
Reese was one of the very first friends I ever met at Baylor. We got the chance to live together freshman year through a random roommate draw and enjoyed that time so much that we lived together sophomore year as well! He has always been a very consistent, hard working, funny friend, and I have always enjoyed my time being around him. Some of my fondest memories with Reese include driving through a construction site on I-35 in Waco, running my very first Baylor Line with him, sharing our love for Morgan Wallen and going to one of his concerts together, and all the rest of the pranks and shenanigans we have done together. We have been able to stay close even post-grad through calling, FaceTiming, and playing video games together. Oh, and he is also a pilot which is pretty sick, so everyone should ask him about flying planes!
