Wedding Party
Gabe Gates
Maid of Honor
“Hiii! My name is Gabe, l've know Shayleigh for almost a decade now (so crazy), and have been close for about 9 of those years! From class, to sleepovers, to vacations, to now being her maid of honor, we've stuck together. She is wholeheartedly the best person I know and I'm so thankful I get to spend her special day with her by her side!!”
Nate Butts
Best Man
“My name is Nathaniel and I’ve known Jaron since high school through sports and playing against one another on the basketball court. Knowing about Jaron’s athletic career before Wabash I knew him and I had an instant connection over sports and being from the area as “townies”. I got to know Jaron on a deeper level starting my sophomore year and even more my junior year when Jaron and I became roommates. As I have had the pleasure of getting to know Jaron over the years, he has truly been one of the best friends anyone could ask for. His selflessness and dedication to the things and people he cares about makes him a great man and even better friend. Congratulations to Jaron and Shayleigh on their special day! I’m blessed and honored to be a part of it!”
Taia Cummings
Bridesmaid
“Hi!! I'm Taia. Shayleigh and I met at work (Massage Envy) and have been friends ever since! We clicked instantly and she has been a constant in my life for the past 2 years. Our time together has been nothing but laughs, heartfelt conversations, and memories I’ll never forget. I’m honored to be able to stand by her side as she marries the love of her life!”
Mark Poole
Groomsman
“Jaron and I met in college our sophomore year when I didn’t really know my place or what my future looked like at Wabash. I would come over to phi delt when I was still an independent and he was the most welcoming and friendliest brother i would see, so obviously I gravitated towards him. There wasn’t a night I came over we wouldn’t share a good laugh. So I joined, and he became my pledge father the following semester. It makes me sad that those nights can’t happen very often anymore, so I am here to propose a boycott to Cracker Barrel.”
Mica Young
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Mica. I met Shayleigh around 5 years ago when me and her brother started to date. We are now married and she is my sister in law. I love our relationship and am so excited for her big day! She is going to make a beautiful bride!
Nathan France
Groomsman
“I knew of Jaron awhile back as we both played football against each other at rival high schools. It wasn’t until the end of freshman year of college that we really started to connect and find lots of similarities between ourselves. Since then, I come to find Jaron as an excellent friend, a great leader, and one of the best brothers a man could ask for. Could use some work on the golf course though”
Sydney Cunningham
Bridesmaid
Hey y’all, I’m Sydney!! Shay and I met in esthetician school and instantly hit it off and became besties. She’s the most caring and supportive person I know. I can’t wait to see her be the most beautiful bride and walk down the aisle.
Bear Morales
Groomsman
“Jaron’s way of loving, thoughtfulness, and quiet strength make him not only a great friend, but someone you’re genuinely lucky to have in your life. Jaron is one of those rare people who stays humble no matter how accomplished or successful he is. He’s the kind of friend who shows up just as strongly for you in your lowest moments as he does in your highest ones and that says everything about his character.”
Kylie Bradford
Bridesmaid
“Heyyy! My name is Kylie (one of Jaron’s sisters) and Shayleigh and I instantly became friends when they started dating. We have been pretty much inseparable at all family gatherings and events since. We really have became like sisters and I couldn’t be more grateful to have her in my life. I can’t wait until she’s officially a part of the family!!”
Josh Blackburn
Groomsman
“Hello my name is Josh. I met Jaron in college when he was a freshman and I was a junior. Couldn’t really tell you how the friendship started, his pledge father was apart of the pledge family so we’d always hang out chill and play games together. But over the next years in college our friendship grew always talkin trash to each other and having fun cause I always knew he was down for a good time which became a rarity in the house at one point. Now post college we still go over to each others places go get drinks and chill like old times. Glad Ron found the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with and excited for their future together”
