Kinsland & Steven
Wedding Party
Megan Honeycutt Grissom
Matron of Honor
Megan and I have been friends since well, basically before we were born. Our parents built houses right next door to each other in 1987 and they still live there to this day. Each milestone we’ve faced or experienced has been shared! From playing in the sandbox together, to both going to East Carolina University then pledging the same sorority, to now both moving back to North Carolina after being states away and being able to share in the next adventures of life. No matter the distance, time or space our friendship has never faltered. It comes down to this...She’s my person, my heart and the true definition of what friendship means. Best friends doesn’t do it justice, we’re sisters!
Malcolm Armwood
Man of Honor
Malcolm and I met as Musical Theatre majors at East Carolina University and since that moment we’ve shared a bond that’s quite indescribable. We later became roommates in NYC and I know my journey there would not have been the same without him. He knows how I’m feeling or what I’m thinking with one glance. He’s my rock, my voice of reason, the person who checks me when I’m out of line and the laugh who always entertains my crazy. I’ll always be indebted to him for teaching me the lesson and value of putting myself out there, trusting God’s plan and “just go to lunch!”
Morgan Soward
Bridesmaid
Morgan and I met as kids as we actually grew up in the same neighborhood together and our parents both still live in that neighborhood to this day. We reconnected in high school and the rest is history! Moe has always been there, always had my back, and supported me in everything I do! There’s not been one show I haven’t been able to look out in the audience and see her face as she’s my biggest cheerleader! She’s the person who always listens, keeps me grounded and loves me for me no matter how ridiculous I may be! She’s my girl through thick and thin and I’m so incredibly thankful for her!
Alexandra Barrus
Bridesmaid
Alexandra and I met doing what my heart loves to do the most, perform! When we met it felt like we had known each other for a lifetime! She’s always been so supportive, encouraging and just a beautiful friend with a heart so abundant with love! We’ve shared some incredible experiences like traveling internationally to Japan and across the US performing in the International Tour of A Chorus Line, auditioning up a storm in NYC, working on fashion projects and truly the most important experience of them all, sharing in the moments of watching each other’s love and families grow!
Rachel Blomfield
Bridesmaid
I met this soul SISTA Rachel freshman year of college. See, there’s 5 of us who’ve been inseparable so since we became Pirates at East Carolina University. It’s a bond that makes me who I am today! Rachel has always been open arms for me to talk with, laugh with and just share anything and everything that has come my way! She’s been such a guiding light and constant support of love in my life! The laughs we’ve shared are more than I can count and fill my heart with so much joy.
Ann Northern Jones
Bridesmaid
This SISTA and I met in college. There’s a fabulous 5 of us who’ve been each other’s rocks since we met almost 15 years ago but aside from that Ann and I share something I’m so grateful for. We moved to NYC right after college together. It was something we’d both dreamed of our whole lives but doing it together and watching come to fruition knowing we were by each other’s side made it an experience and a moment in time I’m so blessed for! She’s always been such a honest and dependable friend in my life and I know no matter what she will always have my back!
Yesenia Ayala
Bridesmaid
My SISTA Yessi and I met in college! My fashionista partner in crime! When attending East Carolina University 5 of us became friends and from that moment the sisterhood was formed! She has always been that person who has listened with so much compassion and been an incredible voice of direction! We both were in the performance industry and were able to share so many moments of understanding, emotions and advice to one another! There was always this strong and heartfelt encouragement in our friendship that has meant the world to me!
Christine Martini
Bridesmaid
Miss Tini has made my heart laugh since the day I met her! When 5 SISTAS met at East Carolina University almost 15 years ago she has been the one to constantly make us all smile! Her heart is so giving and genuine! She has always been a listening ear and someone that has been a caring heart in my life as long as I’ve known her! She’s the friend that will travel the world to see you and support you in what is going on in your life! From college to traveling abroad to Italy to now as we grow older together she’s been a friend whose loved me and stood by me no matter the distance or time that has pasted!
Alexandria Tuel
Bridesmaid
This lady is a rock in my life! Alex and I met while working at a fashion company together in 2013! From that moment we became kindred spirits and shared something that is so special! She is someone who has always had my back, been there for me when I needed someone the most, shared the best shenanigans and put me in my place when I’ve needed to hear it! We’ve known each other for seven years but it feels like we’ve known each other a lifetime! We’ve had so many adventures together and I know she is someone in my life that is here for the long run!
Amy Howell
Bridesmaid
I thank my big brother every single day for marrying this special lady and giving me a sister! Since the day we met at my piano recital when I was eight years old I have felt so loved and supported by Amy! I remember looking up to her as a little girl and just feeling so blessed she was in my life! She’s always been there for me, listened and been beyond encouraging in everything I do! She is the first to always volunteer to help me with anything I need even if that means throwing a big dinner party or just coming over to have a girls night and a glass of wine! I always asked God for a sister and he gave me such an incredible one!
Shelby Howell
Bridesmaid
My niece Shelby is growing up faster than I can even say and she is one of the most wonderful young ladies I know! Shelby is smart, compassionate and such a genuine human being! Her heart is so honest and determination so strong! Watching her grow is such a beautiful thing and I’m so blessed that she can stand by my side the day I get to marry Steven!
Marcela Somarriba
Bridesmaid
One of the most wonderful things about marrying Steven is gaining family! Marcela is such a beautiful person and I could not be more excited to have another sister! That bond is so special and I feel so blessed to have her in my life! Getting to share our lives together, watching our families grow and making memories makes my heart so happy and something I thank God for every single day!
DeAnn Howell
Bridesmaid
This wonderful woman and I go back a long time! DeAnn was my babysitter, dance teacher and mentor since the time I was six years old! I remember growing up and all I could ever think was how much I wanted to be just like her! I have learned from her in so many ways and celebrated so many memories, gone through tough times and taken on adventures with her right by my side! Being able to share this special day with her is no different and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Gerardo Somarriba
