Our Wedding Party
Jessica Murphy
Maid of Honor
My BEST FRIEND since Rush 2014 at TTU! Jessica and I have been roommates, best friends, and sisters all through college and after. We are at the point where if you call for "Jessica", we know which one you are talking to. After spending several years praying together for our future husbands, it's happening!! We couldn't imagine the big day without her!
Logan Stieber
Best Man
Logan has been my brother and closest friend since fall of 2017 at Tech. He is one of the funniest people I know! From being leaders in a fraternity to staying up til 5am playing super smash bros, he's always had my back. Just look for the really tall guy with glasses standing next to us at the alter!
Taylor Stull
Bridesmaid
One of my dear roommates during the Disney College Program who can make anyone smile with her beautiful singing & killer dance moves. Taylor continues to support and encourage us no matter where she lives! From FL to TN to AZ, our love for Tayl goes for miles and miles!
Derek Stull
Groomsman
Derek and I have gone from strangers to bros faster than we can crush a basket of hot wings. Even though he's miles away, I always know I can call on Derek! He's supported me time and time again, and gives me the best advice. I think the world of this guy! We can't wait for him to fly across the country to support us on the big day, and maybe sing a little, too!
Machaela Ramirez
Bridesmaid
She once scared the crap out of me in high school, and asked me to go to sonic when I was too afraid to say "no". Now, she is one of my longest and truest friends who continually hypes me up, supports me, and is always there with no filter to set me straight. Although unlikely friends, we are SO thankful for Machaela.
Xander Newman
Groomsman
I've definitely known this man the longest! My brother, Xander, has taught me how to wrestle around and have fun! We have shared games, interests, and many other things; but, never snacks! We love this guy so much, and we will for sure be writing our names on our snacks with him around at our wedding!
Alyssa Ayers
Bridesmaid
Introduced through a boy that doesn't matter anymore, an amazingly supportive and out-of-nowhere friendship flourished. Now my little, mom of the friend-group, look alike, teacher-friend, and go-to-girl, Alyssa is the friend everyone wishes they had. We love what she bring to our wedding party!
Jacob Aikens
Groomsman
Jake is the bro with a heart of gold; always confident and willing to take charge! He has provided me with a lot of laughs (usually picking on Jess together)! Soon to be my brother-in-law, Jake, already feels like another little, but also very tall, brother. We hope we can find dress shoes big enough to match his tux for the wedding!
Jouri Bustamonte
Bridesmaid
In an incredibly complicated turn of events that had to align just right for us to meet, I met Jouri on the first day of the Disney College Program. We instantly connected like we had known each other forever. Now, over 4 years later, she practically planned our whole wedding on pinterest. We love the energy this niña brings to our wedding party!
Jalen Tucker
Groomsman
Jalen has been one of my best friends since high school, and a constant in my life! He has always had my back, and I have made lifelong memories with him. From learning how to freestyle rap to making horrible food, I never know what's going to happen when Jalen is around. We hope Jalen doesn't bring too many surprises to our wedding, just good vibes & maybe a rap or two!
Hannah Howard
Bridesmaid
My buddy, Howard, is a sorority sister and classmate turned dear friend. She is hilarious, a perfect teacher, an adorable hippie, and an avid snacker. We still believe that Hannah is way too cool for us & she always laughs when we say that--Just ask her about her camper. We love Hannah just as much as we love pizza, well... almost.
Mason Quinn
Groomsman
This man right here has helped me a ton throughout my time in college. He's a fantastic leader, counselor, and has been around for it all. From goofing off at the house to giving me guidance in school, he's been a staple in my life. We can't wait for him to bring his goofy attitude to our big day!
Mary Van Hollebeke
Bridesmaid
Our friendship started at Disney, but over the past 4 years, it has soared to new heights (...get it?? she's a flight attendant!!). Mary's laughing, singing, and dancing can light up any room she walks into. We are so lucky to have her light shine at our wedding!
Phillip Walton
Groomsman
The man who knows all of my embarrassing middle school stories... I met Phillip when I was still an awkward youngin' in band class. We learned pretty quick that we couldn't fit on the same rides at six flags, but that never stopped us. We know Philip will fit in nicely with our bridal party!
Emilee Graham
Bridesmaid
Emilee is still Emilee Robinson in my phone from when I found her on fb before moving to Disney. From Disney to the honor of being apart of her and Austin's (poop-head's) day, this girl really knows how to support, lighten up dark times, and just be there for you! We are so thankful to have Emilee GRAHAM in our wedding!!
James Traynor
Groomsman
I've known James since the beginning of my journey at Tech. I've had a lot of great times just hanging out and talking about life with him! His sarcastic and dry humor is always shockingly hilarious. We are so excited for the surprising jokes he will bring to our wedding!
Ashley Berta
Bridesmaid
Ash is one of the first and fastest friends I gained from college. From becoming sisters in Omega Phi Alpha, to working at Nick's Restaurant together, to cruising & traveling together, Ashley adds so much to our bridal party. We look forward to the under-her-breath attitude & sass that Ash will bring to our wedding day!
Cory West
Groomsman
The awkward theatre kid from high school turned Jessica's best friend for over 9 years. Jessica and Cory have raised a kid together (well a GOLDfish from the fair named ponyboy), have grown together through teen years to young adulthood, and have never let distance be an issue for their friendship. We wouldn't be here without Cory, so we couldn't imagine the big day without him!
Emmie Peek
Flower Girl
Jessica's newest little cousin, Emmie, is so smart, silly, and full of personality! Here's to hoping she doesn't steal all the spotlight!
Caitlin Cobb
Flower Girl
Jessica's cousin, Caitlin, has the biggest heart you have ever felt! She is full of energy, which she will need to keep up with little Emmie walking down the aisle!
Avery Dillon
Jr. Bridesmaid
Avery is Jessica Murphy's biological half sister, but if you ask Avery, Jessica Aiken-Bacon is also her sister. From taking her to Disney, to basketball practices and games, to sleepovers, to random weekend adventures, Avery is family. We are so happy to have her be a part of our day!
