Wedding Party
Kerrith
Maid of Honor
Julissa's older sister and of her very best friends. Growing up, they would have mini weddings to the sound of Michael Bublé and dream of their own special days.
Cory K
Best Man
Cory and Dale met in the 6th grade. What started as assigned seating became a lifelong friendship. From school projects, sports, and running the beer pong tables, this friendship has turned into brotherhood.
Dakota
Groomsman
Cory’s “cool” older brother was a friend Dale made later on in life. They grew close with a shared sense of humor and mutual hobbies including hunting, cooking and pop culture.
Leanne
Bridesmaid
After meeting at work almost two years ago, Leanne and Julissa quickly became best of friends. Together they enjoy watching Love Island and shopping. Leanne has been with Julissa through all of the scary wedding planning and is one of the first people to be called for even more wedding shopping.
Tyler
Groomsman
TP, as the locals call him, is a friend that has grown close to Dale over several years. His accountability and late-night phone calls asking for advice are something that aren't taken for granted.
Trinity
Bridesmaid
Trinity and Julissa are evil twin sisters because they are born one year and one day apart. They were able to meet through Luke and have been bothering the Maxwell-Sims family ever since. Fun fact: Trinity has proofread all- and I mean, all- the wedding stationary.
Luke
Groomsman
Luke is the family that became my family when his mom (Julya) and Dale's father (David) started dating back in the ice age. As time moved forward Dale is glad to call him his brother and a great friend. (P.S don’t count on him to bring you a beer he told you about)
Keara
Bridesmaid
Ke’ara and Julissa have been friends since 6th grade and are possibly the loudest people in the room when they are together. If you ever have a mildly bad idea but don't want to do it alone, Ke’ara is the girl to call.
Travis
Groomsman
Travis. The adopted son and forever Dale's brother by choice. They met at youth group in Reddick and let's just say that it was the start of a bond that can‘t be broken.
Ashely
Bridesmaid
If you thought being friends since middle school was a long time, Ashley has that beat! Ashley and Julissa have been friends since elementary school. Fun fact: Ashley is a doctor.
Andy
Groomsman
Andy & Dale have been friends for many years and really ever since Dale stopped on the way to school and helped Andy fix his flat tire making them both late. Dale almost wasn’t able to go to grad bash because of that. But if the events happened again Dale would make the stop again if it meant earning a friend like him.
Kaci
Bridesmaid
Kaci was Julissa's first friend after moving to Ocala and has helped make it feel like home. So much so that Julissa is the godmother of her son. Kaci may be later than all hell for an occasion, but that girl is going to come to an outing for at least ten minutes.
Cory B
Groomsman
2020, Covid, and a game called Warzone is what brought Cory and Dale together as friends. From "just one more game bro" to Dale flying out to Utah to visit him, their friendship has crossed the distance many others wouldn’t.
Tasia
Bridesmaid
When you see someone every single day at 8am you won't believe how close you can get. In the time Tasia and Julissa have known each other, they have graduated from coworkers to great friends and gym buddies. Don't expect to see this girl get off the dance floor- they have been training for this every week.
Joe
Groomsman
Joe and Dale became friends at a Halloween party in 2020 as Joe was moving from Tallahassee to Gainesville. They shared a longing for food and travel. Joe spent many nights staying up and helping Dale with an Elden Ring boss that will go down as the hardest fight of all time.
