Jessica & Grayson
Wedding Party
Jessica Bond
Bride
Hey friends! I'm Jessica or Jess as Grayson calls me! Grayson and I met in 9th grade. We went to rival high schools, I went to Prince Avenue and he went to Athens Academy, and we had seen each other around at sporting events. Grayson messaged me on Instagram and asked for my number, and I said no. Eventually, I gave it to him and we had our first date. The next school year he transferred to Prince Avenue, and the rest is history! Our favorite times together are UGA football games and travel! I'm so excited to spend the rest of my lift with my best friend, and we are so excited to share this day will y'all!
Grayson Schulte
Groom
Hi everyone! I am Grayson Schulte. I was born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1996, then moved to Oconee County in 1999. I grew up playing sports, such as soccer, baseball, and football. My favorite hobbies are collecting souvenir cups from events, and checking out sporting stadiums on trips. I met Jessica freshman year of high school by sliding into her DMs asking for her number, and she said no. I decided I would do whatever it took to get one date with her. After our first date, I knew there was something special about her. Throughout the next seven years, I learned more about Jess and constantly fell more in love with her everyday. Jess also helped me find Christ and I am forever grateful for that. Me and Jessica are so excited to share this great moment with all of y'all.
Taylor Bond
Maid of Honor
I'm Taylor, Jessica's not so little, sister. Growing up, we teased each other about who would get married first. Jessica's dream was to marry someone who shares her beliefs, loved her more than anything, and get married in St. Simons (at the King and Prince). I always believed she needed to include patience and could put up with her "independent" streak. After she met Grayson, I knew she had met her match. Now 8 years from the first date, they are preparing to start their life together. Jessica's little girl dreams are coming true (except the King and Prince) and Grayson is part of it. I love Jessica and have grown to think of Grayson as my big brother. I am excited for them and can't wait to be part of their next chapter.

Anna Beth Wommack
Bridesmaid
Hey I’m Anna Beth! Me and Jessica met in kindergarten at Prince Avenue Christian School. She has been one of my best friends for 17 years. She has always been there for me from the awkward middle school days, the thriving years of high school, and the stressful anatomy labs at UGA. I’ve had the privilege of watching Jessica and Grayson’s relationship grow more and more since the day they started dating. They’re love is so pure and unconditional. This marriage is going to be one that is so inspiring and kind. I absolutely can not wait to celebrate them on March, 13 2021!
Chrissy Black
Bridesmaid
I’m Chrissy! I’ve known Jess for AT LEAST 13 years. We met at High Point Farm (the original farm!), where we rode together until I went off to college, but that didn’t change our friendship. She’s honestly my little sister from another mister! I’ve absolutely loved seeing Jess and Grayson grow together over the years and I couldn’t be more thrilled for them both! They’ve been together longer than I’ve been with my own husband, so nothing can stop these two lovebirds! While my husband’s military career has taken us away from Georgia for quite some time now, telling Jessica I would LOVE to be in her wedding was one of the easiest answers I’ve ever given! Jess - you stood by my side when I got to marry the love of my life. NOW IT’S YOUR TURN! March 13, 2021, here we come!!!
Erica Hendrix
Bridesmaid
Hi I’m Erica! I met Jessica when we worked together in college and we instantly became such close friends. I’m forever so glad that we did. Not only have I gotten to bond with her over the past 5 years, but Jessica and Grayson together - we all three share a love for UGA baseball and football and just about any other event that is going on in Athens. Jessica is the textbook definition of a best friend; she cares so much about all of the people in her life, especially Grayson. Their relationship is so genuine and I could not be happier to celebrate two people to be getting married!
