Gloria & Jack
Wedding Party
Megan Schlafer
Maid of Honor
Megan and Gloria met in 2007 while going through sorority recruitment and SHSU and became instant besties. From drinking McDonald's vanilla iced coffee in the back of Dr. Grigg's presentations class to spending Halloween in Amsterdam, they've made a million memories and more. Megan is one of the most special, loyal, and caring people in the world, and Gloria wouldn't be where she is today without her! Fun Fact: Megan is also Gloria's wedding planner so if you see her doing anything planner-y on the day of the wedding just hand her a drink and tell her you're going to tell the bride.

Erinn Marshall
Bridesmaid
Erinn and Gloria have run in the same circles since high school but officially became friends in 2009! She has been there for some of the most fun and memorable parts of Gloria's life, including being roommates for 2 years in their early twenties...yikes! Erinn is the most selfless, motivated, and loyal friend and has also known Jack for years! Fun Fact: Both Jack and Erinn have the same birthday, so Gloria will forever be telling Jack she's going to celebrate with her best friends on May 23rd :)
Matt Pursley
Best Man
Jack and Matt met the first week of college in 2006 while rushing Sigma Chi. They share a love for nerd culture and tasty brews. Who else would have been willing to go to Comic-Con with Jack before it was cool?
Cassie Ward
Bridesmaid
Cassie and Gloria met in 2009 through ZTA and have been fast best friends ever since. They have so much in common from their love of EDM music and Corgis, to tequila shots! Cassie is the most free-spirited, creative, and lovable person you'll ever meet, and Gloria is so grateful for her friendship! Fun Fact: Cassie's nickname is "Sassy Cassie" so if you see her, please ask her about what "Sassy" really means and why she doesn't smile more.
Tim James
Groomsman
Jack and Tim met when they were both in the 5th grade. They remained close through sports, going to different colleges, and living together afterwards. Jack and Tim made up the greatest 8th grade QB and RB tandem Northland Christian has ever produced.
Cassondra Oliver
Bridesmaid
Cassondra and Gloria became friends in 2009 at SHSU and they bonded over their "both of us are Hispanic but don't look like it" heritage. They lived together for 2 years and shared both a closet and bathroom in their early twenties, so that goes to show she is the most patient, trusting, and loving friend! Fun Fact: Cassondra loves killer whales, so if you see her around the reception just ask her about the report she did on them in middle school. She may even tell you about her favorite Free Willy necklace.
Jerry Coon
Groomsman
Jack and Jerry met in college through Jerry's sister, Casie. The connection was instant and they went on to join close to 27 fantasy football leagues together. This mutual obsession cemented a permanent friendship and they discuss all things football for at least 10 hours a week.
Brittany Huebner
Bridesmaid
Brittany and Gloria have known each other since her mom was Gloria's dance coach in 2002 (OMG by the time the wedding rolls around it will be almost 19 YEARS!!). Brittany is also Gloria's big sister in ZTA , so from dancing on tables in Cabo to late night choreography at dance camp, she's the best big sister Gloria always had! Fun Fact: Brittany is notorious for singing lyrics but not really knowing what they are so ask her about the time Gloria caught her doing it :)
Barney Lunsford
Groomsman
Barney and Jack met in college through Sigma Chi. They bonded over trips out of town and deep talks after college. They both love a good game of Fortnite and talking about nonsense.
Stephanie Brumley
Bridesmaid
Stephanie and Gloria met while working at Charming Charlie in 2012. The moment they knew they would be best friends was when Gloria was doing her hair before a night out, and Stephanie asked "is the reason you do you hair first because you want your makeup to last longer?" Gloria simply replied "yes" and they've been inseparable ever since! Fun Fact: Stephanie is Greek, so if you hear one person really distinctly laughing or yelling over ALL the music, it's her, and you should hand her a glass of champagne to keep her quiet for a few seconds.
Ben Monkiewicz
Groomsman
Ben and Jack met in college while rushing Sigma Chi in 2006. They grew close during their pledge-ship as Freshmen at SHSU, and then as work out partners during and after college.
Rachel Burruss
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Gloria met while working together at Charming Charlie in 2011. The two became fast friends because of their crazy bosses, and stayed friends because of all the secrets they share when they traveled to New Orleans multiple times together! Rachel is one of the smartest, honest, and loyal people and Gloria loves her for it! Fun Fact: Both Rachel and her husband are like the tallest people on the planet, so when you see them at the reception (you seriously can't miss them), just go ahead and ask "How's the weather up there?" and get it over with.
Clint Hoelscher
Groomsman
Clint and Jack became close through family vacations to the Frio River. The cousins became quick friends over a mutual love for The Simpsons, Beavis and Butt-Head, and Southpark. They can always depend on each other to get their obscure movie references.
Rachel Phillips
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Gloria became friends while working at Charming Charlie in 2012...if you're starting to see a pattern, it's because there is and Charming Charlie was basically like a school and we were freshmen, class of 2012. Rachel is quite possibly the most sweet, thoughtful, and creative people Gloria knows and can't wait for her to be a bridesmaid! Fun Fact: Rachel is seriously OBSESSED with Louisiana sports teams (especially the LSU Tigers) so if you see her at the reception just yell "ROLL TIDE!" and start videoing what happens next.
Cole Hoelscher
