Wedding Party
Jessica Still
Matron of Honor
Laura's best friend from day one, Jessica is Laura's older sister and has been by her side through it all. She is loyal, empathetic, and always ready to poke fun at the bride. She is the mother to Laura's favorite 12-month-old, Charlie, and the best sister Laura could ask for!
Ben Fogle
Best Man
Chad and Ben first met freshman year at UGA and quickly became close friends. From late nights at the Athens bars to UGA football games and exciting vacations they have had no problem finding a good time. Ben is a caring friend who is always there for Chad, mainly because they live in the same neighborhood.
Karen Blackburn
Bridesmaid
Karen is the bride's best friend from middle school and high school. She and the bride bonded through playing club and school soccer together. Karen is the most generous and optimistic friend and is a ray of positivity to everyone she meets. She also played a huge role in Laura and Chad's first date, which the couple couldn't be more thankful for!
Derek Duffey
Groomsman
Another one of Chad's close friends from UGA, Derek is always down to have a good time no matter the time of day or night. Chad and Derek have a few things in common, such as: an affinity for watching sports, playing golf and the fact that they both have red hair, except Chad's is mainly in his beard.
Lindsey Clark
Bridesmaid
Lindsey and Laura have known each other since 4th grade! Lindsey and the bride became close while playing high school soccer together. Lindsey is also a PA like the bride, and Laura loves talking about medicine with Lindsey. She is kind, silly, fun and has a huge heart.
Grey Friend
Groomsman
Grey and Chad first met in high school and have been good friends ever since. From the annual high school guys camping adventures, to off-roading and ski trips Grey is always looking for an adventure and enjoys living it up with his friends which Chad appreciates. And even though Grey is a Man United fan, Chad doesn't hold it against him too much.
Kailey Nawyn
Bridesmaid
Another best friend from high school, Kailey is sweet, short and sassy. Some of the bride's favorite memories with Kailey include late nights in Creswell Hall at UGA, the first half of Superbowl LI, and being every waitress's worst nightmare when they sit next to each other and explain their allergies.
Warren Gray
Groomsman
Warren and Chad grew up playing baseball together but became good friends in high school. Living near each other in Roswell meant many hours spent in Warren's basement playing ping-pong or driving around Roswell to pass the time. Warren also used to have a great house on Lake Chatuge that Chad enjoyed frequenting as often as possible in the summer months. Even though Warren now lives in Maine, they still make time to crack jokes and stay in touch.
Brittany Roley
Bridesmaid
Another best friend of Laura's from high school, Brittany has the kindest heart. She goes the extra mile in all of her friendships, and Laura is lucky to have her in her life. Brittany and Laura love to run together and are both #11sforever. Brittany is known for being the life of the party, as we can often find her dancing on elevated surfaces when she hears a good song.
Matt Hacker
Groomsman
Matt (aka Hacker) and Chad met at UGA as well and were even lab partners for Gen Chem. They had a habit of getting stir fry from O-House after finishing labs. Hacker can tell you about every UGA football player and their background while also spouting out random trivia knowledge at a moment's notice. Chad and Hacker lived together for 4 years after college and somehow still remain close friends.
Emily Spillane
Bridesmaid
Laura's best friend from PA school, Emily is driven, silly and confident. She and Laura bonded quickly and spent their 2.5 years in Augusta studying, running and laughing together. Emily is the best type of competitive and will never let Laura forget she is two years younger than the bride.
David Still
Groomsman
David is Chad's soon-to-be brother-in-law as he is married to Laura's sister. Some may say they are both crazy enough to marry Gillespie girls but that is still up for debate. Chad and David both enjoy cheering on the Dawgs and trying not to lose too many golf balls on the course.
Alexa Taylor
Bridesmaid
Laura's best friend since (you guessed it) high school, Alexa is a steadfast, honest, and compassionate friend who always makes the bride laugh. She and the bride have a shared love of spicy margaritas, Atlanta United games, and Lululemon. Laura knows she can always go to Alexa if she needs an honest opinion which she greatly appreciates.
