Wedding Party
Molly Barr
Matron of Honor
I met Molly during the second semester of my freshman year at BJU when we were both in an opera. We quickly became friends and realized that we have very similar personalities and interests! We love sharing music with each other and getting coffee at Starbucks or Bridge City. I love talking to Molly about relationship advice since we have been in similar stages of life (at least before she got married ;)). It was an enormous blessing to see Molly and Andrew grow in their relationship and get married this past summer. I am thrilled that Molly can be my matron of honor and I am incredibly thankful for her sweet friendship and godly encouragement. <3
Andrew Barr
Best Man
Andrew Barr...I never thought that we would be best friends, go on double dates, and be so similar. Andrew's counsel has been so needful for me multiple times, and he helped get me into studying what I love, as well as convincing me to be in Chorale with him! This is a picture of us after an audition that we did together that was a total blast! Andrew is a kind-hearted, loving friend that I was privileged to room with in college. He is an excellent singer and performer with a voice of gold, and he can encourage anyone. I had the privilege of being in his wedding, and now I am thrilled to have him as my best man!
Maria Adams
Bridesmaid
I met Maria, Michael's oldest sister, when I went home for Thanksgiving break. We spent more time together over Christmas break and then during the summer of 2022. We both love swimming, so lake days were always a lot of fun as well as beach days with the whole Adams family down in Hampton, NH. We also both love Asian food (the picture is from a really good Thai restaurant we found). I am so honored that Maria agreed to be my bridesmaid. She is such a beautiful person, and I cannot wait to call her my sister-in-law!
Jonathan Swaffer
Groomsman
Where do I start with John? John is probably the kindest person I know. He was my RA for my freshman and sophomore years at college and has given me much council over the time I have known him. John is a person who is truly too pure for this world. We both share a love for music and singing, and we have been in Chorale together for a number of years. This is actually a picture of us from when we sang together in choir at the Biltmore Estate. I've often said that John is the most nonchalantly funny guy ever. He sings about everything and has been fun to be in productions with. He is such a close friend, and it encourages my heart to have him by my side to support us on our wedding day.
Kate Fleming
Bridesmaid
I knew of Kate during my freshman year when we were both in the opera and Freshman Choir, but we didn't become friends until sophomore year while working at the Music Library together. Kate and her boyfriend JT have gone on many double dates with Michael and I and we love hanging out with them! Kate is crazy and fun and we definitely encourage each other's coffee addictions. I am so so happy that Kate is able to be my bridesmaid!
Jonny Daulton
Groomsman
Jonny and I met Freshman year because his mother forced us to meet lol. We have since shared so many fun memories laying on his rug for hours, talking, running to 7Brew, and being in various productions (including B&B where Jonny was the best drunk on stage!) We have been leaders in the freshman dorm at the same time, and it has been a blast getting to know such a wonderful, real guy. He is such a hard worker who is a blessing to everyone. Jonny always makes you feel special somehow, and he is always kind. He is such a wonderful friend and an obvious choice to celebrate with me!
Molly Burch
Bridesmaid
Oh Molly Burch. We go all the way back to freshman year roomies! We bonded over boba (lots of boba), college society, and artwork mostly. Our Study Abroad trip to Barcelona, Spain last year was so fun and definitely a unique experience to say the least! We had a ton of fun discovering coffee shops and wandering through Sagrada Familia. Molly and I are rooming together this year and have become even closer friends (including more runs for boba). She is such a fun crazy friend, and I am so excited that she can be in my wedding!
Josh Hall
Groomsman
This is Josh...and his beard. Both are legendary amongst his friends. We have been friends since 2022. It has been such a wonderful time getting to know each other through Chorale, hanging out in his room and talking or watching football. I am so excited to have him as a part of our wedding day. This is a picture of him and John and I am on the other side of John, but Josh came to hear a concert that John and I sang in as he usually does. He is a great support to my career at school and in my relationship, and that is one reason that I am proud to have him as a groomsman.
Emma Landry
Bridesmaid
Emma and I met during CIT at the Wilds in 2019. We didn't really become friends until working at the Wilds in 2021 and then college where we were able to get meals and coffee together (turns out we both LOVE Panera). We also enjoyed attending the same church back home in New Hampshire for a summer. Emma has such a heart for God and always encourages me to love Jesus more. I am so thankful for her friendship and that she can be a part of my wedding party!
Andrew Dubberly
Groomsman
If I had to describe Dubberly, it would be "a whirlwind of friendliness with the biggest heart you could find." Dubberly has always encouraged me and pointed me towards Christ. We are in the same society at BJU and we have been in a Grand Opera together, as well as in freshman choir. Dubberly has the biggest smile and his hugs will envelope like you are the most important person in the world at that moment. His sweet spirit and sincere friendship have made him a blessing to minister with as leaders at school, and I am grateful that he is willing to be a part of our wedding party.
Izzy Adams
Bridesmaid
I first met Izzy when she visited camp during the summer of 2021. Izzy is Michael's second oldest sister and we have shared many interesting and intense games of Mario Kart, especially on New Years Eve! We send endless amounts of IG reels back and forth, especially cats. I am so glad Izzy can be my bridesmaid. She is such a fun sweet person, and I cannot wait to call her my sister-in-law!
Josh Coombes
Groomsman
Josh is my oldest friend. He has been a faithful friend for years, and his friendship to me has become invaluable as I have gotten older, showing me that he'll always be around. This is a very old picture that took me down memory lane with lots of inside jokes, memories, and lessons learned. We grew up together and did SO much music together, (including a first-place quartet piece that we worked on together with some friends, but Josh put it all together) and I do not know where I would be musically if it were not for him. He is a fabulous musician and a hard worker. I am so honored that he will join us for our big day!
