William & Kelsey
Wedding Party
Angelica Moreyra
Maid of Honor
As soon as I boarded the first of three flights to Africa, I knew Angelica was going to be a big part of my life. And what a journey we've had. Since then, she has been my partner for all things adventure. Through concerts, travel, celebrations, countless moves, new jobs, and even the losses. In so many ways, Angelica is my mirror, reflecting so much of myself back at me while keeping me on my toes. Her friendship is as stable and consistent as her love for everyone in her life. While long distance friendships are the worst, we always pick up right where we left off. At this point she is my family and I can’t wait to share my wedding day with this noodle, love you always!
Justice Jones
Best Man
Not enough words can express how much Justice means to me. From the day he was born he always displayed a standout personality and an aura that cannot be ignored. Many lessons we've learned together as brothers, but none compare to the ones he's taught me. He has stood strong beside me in the biggest moments of my life, and I look forward to sharing more in the future. I couldn't get hitched without my First Best Friend right beside me.
Som-E Song
Bridesmaid
Som-E is one of the most courageous and independent people I have ever met. When she transferred into my high school sophomore year, we instantly became attached at the hip. I convened with my parents and they agreed to have Som-E come live with us as she was a part of a foreign exchange program. It wasn't long until we became sisters. It is really rare to find your own breed of weird in another person, but I truly have in Som-E. Our partners are regularly startled with how we reflect one another. We aren't able to see each other as much as we would like, but we always pick up right where we left off. So excited to have my sister by my side!
Jamaal Duncan
Groomsman
On the first day of 6th grade, I walked into my first class of middle school nervous and unsuspecting of what was to come of the school year. Little did I know the new kid sitting in the far corner of the classroom with his head on the desk, not making a peep, would become my big brother & a best friend. Through middle and high school Jamaal and I were connected at the hip learning all of life's lessons together. Since meeting that first day of middle school Jamaal and I molded a never breaking bond and an everlasting friendship. The type of friendship that doesn't miss a beat no matter the time apart. I couldn't get hitched without my big brother right there with me.
Kate Carpenter
Bridesmaid
As soon as I met Kate my freshman year at the University of Kentucky, I knew this whacky lady would be my human for sure. She was always by my side while we navigated college, made mistakes, and learned so much about ourselves. I could always count on Kate to make those difficult days lighter. I miss the days of hearing her play the same song on repeat for weeks at a time. Since then, she sped through her law program, has been practicing as a lawyer for years, and bought her own home! This girl is nothing short of inspiring. I am so blessed to have her by my side!
Nick Gottschalk
Groomsman
Nick is a kind, loving best friend that has taught me so much about life. Without Nick, there is no wedding. Over the years we shared many conversations about being confident in yourself, trusting your abilities, and not being afraid to take a risk. With each chat, our friendship was made stronger. He has always made sure that we stay connected no matter the distance. Those talks and seeing the confidence he exuded gave me the certitude that making the move to live with Kelsey was the best move I could ever make. Glad my brother will be up there with me on the most incredible day.
Payton Moore
Bridesmaid
I'm quite spoiled to have this sweet girl as as my cousin. While I might be biased, I have never met someone more kind and genuine than Payton. She has been that way since she was born and continues to shed light everywhere she goes. Payton is wildly intelligent, thoughtful and generous- ask anyone! While I may be the older cousin, I have so much to learn from her as she makes her place in this world. I can't wait to share this day with her!
Zach Lamb
Groomsman
A late summer drive down to Atlanta was when I knew Zach would be a best friend and brother for life. That 6 hour drive was the first time we both delved deep into each other's life experiences, spoke on our childhoods, and what we were looking forward to in life. From that point on we both grew tighter as friends through incredible fun times and also through tougher times. Might I add, Zach has been the real MVP to Kelsey & I. Not only did he invite me to the music festival Kelsey and I reconnected at, BUT was the most clutch photographer/videographer of our Proposal. I couldn't tie the knot without my brother with me.
Meridith Moore
Bridesmaid
Talk about a ray of sunshine! If you are looking to smile, or for a good laugh, keep your eyes peeled for Meridith. She has been spreading joy since the day she way born. She is quite the storyteller and has unmatched flair. Throughout the years, she has grown to be quite the little social justice warrior and I couldn't be more proud of the person she is becoming. So exited to celebrate with you!
Ethan Sprang
Groomsman
Ethan has always been incredibly kind, caring and welcoming to me ever since the first day we met. Our friendship grows every time we get to spend time together. I've appreciated how much he has welcomed me to the family and I look forward to having him as a brother. I'm elated that he'll be with Kelsey and me on our special day.
Brooklyn Jones
Bridesmaid
From our first date, I knew how important Brooklyn was to Bill and it is so clear why. It is hard to not be drawn in by her genuine smile and thoughtfulness. It has been such a pleasure to get to know her and I am so looking forward to being family. I love you!
Sammy Sessler
Ring Bearer
Sammy is such a smart, loving, tenderhearted, exciting, charismatic kid. His energy warms up a room and latches on to everyone around him. Not only is he my cousin, but my Godson, so I had to have him be an important part of the wedding!
Callan Coghlan
Bridesmaid
I met Callan soon after moving to Atlanta and it didn't take long for her to become my person. There is something about Callan that brings everyone together and that speaks so genuinely to her character. While she is usually the youngest in the group, we have all have so much to learn from her about how to treat and support those you love. The fiercest of friends, I can always count on Callan to notice when things are difficult and be there in the way I need it most. Also, she is good at everything. From EMT, raft guide, baker, chef, comedian, to wilderness extraordinaire. She can accomplish anything and I am so pleased she is such a dear friend. Love you endlessly and thank you for being such a big part of this journey!
