Gabrielle & Cody
Wedding Party
Meredith Orr
Maid of Honor
We have known each other since birth - literally! We were blessed to be born into the same amazing family and lucky enough to become best friends. All of my memories with Meredith include us doing something ridiculous or laughing hysterically about The Office. She has always been there for me and I know she will continue to be there for me for the rest of my life. I've known she was going to be my Maid of Honor for a long time, partly because we threatened a speech on each other years ago, but mainly because I couldn't imagine standing there on my wedding day without her by my side.
Nathan Mell
Best Man
I met Nathan my first semester in college, through Greek Life. He actually happened to be my Big Brother. This guy has been a constant rock in some of my most difficult seasons. If you ever get the chance to know him, you'll immediately find out that the desire of Nathan's heart is to see the nations come to know Jesus, and one way God is fulfilling that desire is through his work at GEM (Greater Europe Mission). If there is one thing about Nathan, it's that he's always looking inward to see how he can and improve and outward to find who he can serve. This is Nathan Mell.
Alex Coyle
Bridesmaid
We have known each other for as long as I can remember. She has always been that friend that can pick-up our friendship right where it left off even if we haven't talked to/seen each other in a while! She is my oldest and best-est friend. Any time we were at each others' houses we watched A Series of Unfortunate Events (we've both seen it probably 100 times). We still consistently quote the movie and die laughing every time! I always knew she would be in my wedding and now that time has finally come. I'm so thankful that she chose to spend that day with me.
Michael Cason
Groomsman
I've known that Michael was going to be in my wedding since college. He's one of those friends that if we don't talk for two months, nothing changes. We pick up right where we were without skipping a beat. Michael has been and still is the illustration of Romans 12:15. He is somebody that feels deeply and cares even more. There have been very few conversations we've had that haven't left me wanting to love people better. He wants nothing but to love and serve people to the best of his ability, which he does by intentionally choosing to lay his life down for others each and every day. This is Michael Cason.
Anna Melayne
Bridesmaid
I am beyond blessed to be in the same family as Anna. We have spent so many nights watching movies, playing games, and cooking delicious dinners together. She has always been someone that I can talk to about serious things, but she can also make me laugh any time I need it. She is and always will be my go-to Harry Potter trivia partner (even though we lost). She means the world to me and I'm so lucky she agreed to stand with me on the best day of my life!
Dustin Morse
Groomsman
Dustin has been with me through the thick and thin... and thick again. I've known Dustin since 10th grade, where we used to freestyle in our business ethics class. He's celebrated with me at some of my highest moments, and he's walked with me through some of my lowest. He has been a constant source of grace, even when I haven't deserved it, and my longest friendship to this day. In my honest opinion, he is what I think of when I think of humility, never bragging on himself, but letting his walk speak for itself. This is Dustin Morse.
Hope Marion
Bridesmaid
We have been neighbors for 10 years and friends for even longer! We've spent many late nights staying up playing games, watching movies, and talking about life. Even throughout college, while at different schools, we still kept up with each other and always picked-up right where we left off. We are lucky enough to live in a neighborhood where friends are family, and she is definitely one of my sisters. I could not be more excited to have her spend this amazing day with me!
JT Jones
Groomsman
I met this man about two years ago and knew as soon as we became roommates, that he would be in my wedding. JT has been a daily inspiration to do as scripture says, which is, "to work at whatever I do with my whole heart and being." He is quite possibly one of the hardest workers that I know. This man coaches multiple basketball teams, is pursuing his Master's degree, teaches middle-schoolers, and so much more; yet, he still does everything with excellence. He is a no-excuses type guy, who pursues Christ fully and wholly. It was a no-brainer having somebody like this stand next to me at my wedding. This is JT Jones.
