Joey Maxwell
Groom
Abbey Haverland
Maid of Honor
Abbey and I’s friendship feels like a real-life example of invisible string theory. We grew up in overlapping circles, always near each other but never truly connected—until freshman year at UGA, when we were randomly assigned as roommates. Since then, she has become someone I couldn’t imagine life without: steady, joyful, and genuinely kind in a way that makes everyone around her feel at ease.
Jack Gunter
Best Man
Jordan Maxwell
Maid of Honor
How lucky am I to have found not only the love of my life, but also a built-in best friend. Jordan, Joey’s sister, has become such an important part of my life, and I can’t imagine it without her. Her faith in God has inspired my own and has truly shaped both Joey and me in such a beautiful way.

Julia Martin
Bridesmaid
Julia is a friendship that just flows—easy, natural, and always down for anything. We met in middle school, and from the start she’s been someone who just gets you on a deep level and brings so much joy, laughter, and light into every season of life

Gabby Pinzon
Bridesmaid
Gabby is a constant in my life in the most grounding way. We first met working together at Publix in high school, and that small beginning grew into sharing a college apartment for a year. I’m so grateful for the warmth she carries and the kindness she so naturally extends to everyone around her.

Kacey Colina
Bridesmaid
Kacey x2—name twins and proof of God’s timing in my life. Her dad, my boss (still funny), is what first connected us, and after one dinner, we just clicked. Since then she’s been my running buddy, sister in faith, and someone who challenges me to grow while still savoring life’s little joys.

Gabrielle Loudermilk
Bridesmaid
Gabrielle is a friendship that started by chance at Trader Joe’s and quickly became something so special. From playing soccer together to giggling and dancing through the streets of Athens, GA and exploring Spain, so many memories have shaped our bond. She’s uplifting, thoughtful, and brings out your most playful, carefree side, making every moment more fun just by being there.

Groomsman
Brielle Martelli
Bridesmaid
Brielle and I met through a shared study abroad program in Australia and New Zealand, and that experience instantly bonded us in a way only travel can. Since then, we’ve shared a love for exploring the world, wellness, the environment, and keeping faith at the center of it all. She lives with a spirit of spontaneity and wonder that constantly reminds me to stay open to life and all its beauty.

Groomsman
Kara Lucas
Bridesmaid
Kara is someone I met while interning at the Georgia Aquarium, and we quickly bonded over our shared love for marine life. From movie nights, workouts, and trying new food spots, I’m so grateful for a friendship that has grown in such a fun and fruitful way.
