Wedding Party

Lily Cousland

Teighlor's Maid of Honor

"Teighlor and I met in the sixth grade... I'm not entirely sure which classmate or teacher brought us together in the first place, but I do know that all of my diaries from middle school had a very serious note on the first page: "If ever I die, this journal goes with all my heart to Teighlor A. O'Neill!" We went through the most awkward times of our lives together as best friends, which undoubtedly translates to BFF (best friends forever!)"

Jena Collins

Jessica's Matron of Honor

My incredible sister Jena, many of you know. If you haven't met her please say hi. She's one of the most hard working, resilient, and strong women I know. Not to mention an incredible mother to my amazing niece and nephews. I was fortunate to grow up with someone as fun and awesome as she was, and I'm even more excited to continue to grow closer as sisters as we each move through the next phase of "growing up."

Amanda Henry

Teighlor's Maid of Honor

"I met Teighlor the first day of 4th grade. We instantly hit it off and have remained friends since. She was my first friend after my family and I moved to Virginia from Texas. Some of my best childhood memories are our sleepovers during the summers that would last days at a time. To this day, I have never laughed as hard or as often with anyone else. "

Austin Rexroat

Jessica's Best Man

The youngest of the bunch, my baby brother Austin is not so little anymore, and I couldn't be prouder of the man he has become. My mini me growing up, we did a lot of the same things and had a lot of the same hobbies (eventually he got better than me at almost all of them) :) He's incredibly talented, and accomplishes anything he sets out to do. I love him more than anything, and can't wait to see what's next for him.

Mike Shelton

Teighlor's Best Man

"Teighlor and I met after high school, and ended up going to VCU at the same time. We spent countless nights at The Village Café talking about life and telling stupid jokes, and it's also where she introduced me to Jess (who is the best). She's been there for me through times good and bad and I couldn't ask for a better friend."

Leah Thomas

Jessica's Maid of Honor

As most of you know, I played soccer in college. Edinboro sent out an e-mail letting you know which other player you'd be rooming with for the start of pre-season into your Freshman year. My roommate was the one and only Leah Thomas, and we've been best friends ever since. Although complete opposites in many ways, there's nobody else I would've wanted to dance around campus with, go to bars in sweatpants with, and break into houses with :)

Emma Klein

Teighlor's Bridesmaid

"One day in 2011 (while attending VCU) I was coming home and saw one of my new neighbors standing outside the door to the apartment directly across the hall from mine. She looked way too cool for me to interact with her. She was wearing a leather jacket mismatched with her outfit and she had a punk haircut, shaved sides and teal hair. I was super intimidated. I could tell that she was locked out of her apartment, so I decided to be brave and I asked if she needed help. I think there was a recognition that we were both artsy weirdos with wacky senses of humor. Eventually we started hanging out, and my friend group--which eventually included Jess--grew too. Teighlor and I were fast friends and just adored each other, she became one of my favorite people. Despite the time and distance, we still check in with each other super frequently and have been there for each other through several big moments of our lives. I'm so excited to be a part of Teighlor and Jess's wedding!"

Joe McNeely

Jessica's Groomsman

I met Joe walking Scranton (my dorm) hallways. He and some other guys were playing Golden Eye for N64 when I asked if I could join. They chuckled and said they didn't have an extra controller, to which I responded, "It's okay I have my own." I proceeded to grab it and have them add me in. I remember them trying to give me a handicap (b/c of course they assumed I "needed" one). I assured them I did not, and we could all start with 0 kills. Game to 20, and I think by the end it was something like 4 to 3 to 0 to 20 :) We've been friends ever since.

Alexis Spero

Teighlor's Bridesmaid

"I met Teighlor in 6th grade. We had every single class together except music. After starting the school year sitting at one lunch table and realizing what mean girls were, I asked Teighlor if I could instead join her table. And that was the beginning of eating lunch together every day and then came sleepovers and all the adventures that never quite stopped."

The Council

Inner Circle

I have known this crew since I was 12, some as early as 10, but our "Team" as we dubbed ourselves was solidified by 15. Once members starting turning 30 we decided Team was out and they'd become part of the Council.... we're basically a gang. If you want to know about the last 25 years of my life, talk to any one of them... or actually... maybe you shouldn't :) Bethany Allik (Cornflake) Sari Atchue (Achoo) Natasha Davis (Tasha) Xela Davis (Quay Quay) Laura Lofgren (Laura) Meredith Muckerman (Ducky) Luis Robles (Luisito)

Morgan Disien

Teighlor's Bridesmaid

"Teighlor and I met in 6th grade and we were instant friends. We found each other at the perfect time in life when we were just figuring out who we were and what we could be."
