Wedding Party

Taylor Colson

Bride

I have wanted to be a wife since I was a kid. To have my dream wedding with my dream man. On July 18th, I will be doing just that. I love you Jordan.

Jordan Parrish

Groom

When I was younger, I never truly thought about having a wife/kids/making a family. When I started dating Taylor, those thoughts started to manifest. And today, I truly cannot see my life without her and cannot wait to create a family with her one day soon. I love you Taylor and I can’t wait to call you my wife. P.S. THAT’S MY WIFE!!!

Bryonna Jolly

Maid of Honor

Hi everybody 🥰. My name is Bryonna. You can call me “Bry” or “Jolly”. I have known Taylor and Jordan for about 5+ plus years now. It’s pretty crazy how I’ve watched them grow as a people and even more so as a couple. I used to believe that “love” was something so hard to come by. Until I met these two. The way they look at each other. The way they love each other. The way that you know they love each other even without them saying it. I may be more excited for their marriage than them. I cannot wait to see what God has in store over you all’s life. I love you guys ❤️

Jordan Thompson

Best Man

Hey everyone! I’m Jordan Thompson. I love playing sports and video games, and going out with friends. I like to make others happy and laugh. A huge Star Wars, Harry Potter, anime nerd etc. My one goal in life is to help as many people as I can, no matter how big or small.

Lee Opher

Matron of Honor

My name is Lee and I am honored to be Taylor’s Matron of Honor. Jordan and I knew each other (before I met Taylor) through his friendship with my husband, Ivan, that went back to their high school days. Jordan could not wait to introduce us to Taylor shortly after they met, and we loved her and accepted her into our little family instantly! For the past several years we’ve become movie buddies for almost all the Marvel movies, spent countless game nights together (and some pretty reckless nights out too!), and haven’t missed a single birthday together. We always have each other laughing and are the first to stand up for each other. I cannot wait to witness such important people in my life finally get married! It has been such a joy to see them grow into the beautiful couple they are.

Ivan Opher

Man of Honor

I met Jordan in middle school and we became best friends through high school and now I consider him a brother. In our trio of friends, Jordan, Kayode, and myself, he developed the nickname Perry after he would just pop up out of nowhere as if he was Perry the platypus from the show Phineas and Ferb. I met Taylor through our old job at SRI, and I watched Taylor do something amazing. She loved my brother and help him be the man he is now. I feel honored to be a part of their day and can’t wait to see them enjoy the rest of their lives together as Husband and Wife!

Dajah Logan

Bridesmaid

Taylor is my first cousin and the only other person in my family that is remotely close in age. She was my first best friend I’ve ever had, and it has been an honor to see her grow and become the woman she is today. I am so happy that she has found love and I’m super excited for her to be married!

Anthony Gardner

Groomsman

Anthony first met Jordan while working at SRI. They have been great friends ever since. The moment he was introduced to Taylor by Jordan, he knew Jordan and Taylor were a perfect match. He is excited to be a part of Taylor and Jordan’s big day.

Kendra Wallace

Bridesmaid

My name is Kendra and I am 26 years old. I met Taylor about two years ago while serving in Kids Ministry at our local church. All it took was one attempt at creating a Bible study with her and Audry, then “BAM!” – Friends! We’ve had so many great times and built such a great sisterhood. Even though I fall asleep at every get-together we have, she still tolerates me. Being selected as a Bridesmaid was and is one of the best honors of my life. I am truly grateful. Cheers to Love and Happiness. I wish you both all the joy in the World.

Dylan Dryer

Groomsman

Hey, I'm Dylan. I'm a professional gamer that gets to travel around the world for competitions. I met Jordan about 16 years ago at a gaming tournament and found out we lived only a few blocks from each other. It didn't take long for us to become close friends and the rest is history. I'm excited to be a part of his and Taylor's wedding and to see what life has in store for them :)

Audry Wright

Bridesmaid

I am Audryana, known to most as Audry. I met Taylor at church while serving with her in kids ministry. Now I have been granted to honor as serving as a bridesmaid on her special day. When she shared the good news with me the first thing I did was pick out which shoe I was going to wear at the wedding. Next to my love of shoes comes my love for football. Thankfully the wedding in is July on a Saturday so I don't have to weigh my priorities. Lol

Tavon Graves

Groomsman

Just a longtime friend who’s happy to see a childhood friend enter into a greater chapter in his life. I’m a student of tech & lover of art who’s 25 years young, with an appreciation for life & fun as it comes.

Isabella Catelfamo

Bridesmaid

Jordan and I go way back in the day. Back in high school and when we worked at the infamous SRI Shoe warehouse together. The same place where Jordan met the love of his life, his beautiful bride to be, Taylor. I knew Jordan when he was shy, nerdy, and would watch anime for hours. Not much has changed (lol). Taylor, you are so incredibly sweet and smart. You are hilarious. I love the fun times you, Jordan, and I have had. From birthdays, to fun friend gatherings. We all grew up together. I love you both so much. You are each others soulmates for eternity. You can really see the love and pure joy you two bring into each other's lives. Cheers to forever my best friends! Love always, Izzie

Isaiah Blanding

Groomsman

I’ve known Jordan for a pretty long time (ya know with the whole brother thing) and it’s amazing to see him happy with such a wonderful person like Taylor. With just a simple look you can see how much they care for each other, they both deserve happiness and I’m so glad they found it, together. I can’t wait to see this marvelous wedding take place. <3

My family adopted Jordan when we were in middle school, and since then I've witnessed such growth. Not vertically speaking, but growth nonetheless. I was the musical and charismatic one, while Jordan was the quiet and sheltered one. Some things never change, but when Taylor entered my brother's life I saw him light up. Taylor and I were friends in high school, but if I knew then how important she'd become to my brother, I would've tried harder to stop the Franklin trashcan incident lol Can't wait for you to officially join the fam Taylor! Congrats to you both, I love you guys❤️
