Ashley & Jonathan
Wedding Party
Britney Morris
Maid of Honor
I am Ashley’s younger sister. I am an up and coming hair stylist and have two cats I adore. I love that Ashley and I are two very different people but are best friends and love each other. My favorite memory is when we were little we would sing Karaoke (mainly Ashley) and one of the first times I hung out with Jonny on New Year’s Eve. He took me outside to tell me he surprised Ashley with a Karaoke machine and cake for her birthday (since her party got cancelled) that’s when I knew Jonny was in it for the long haul. I loved watching them sing Karaoke together and to see Ashley actually share the microphone.
Caleb Clawson
Best Man
I’ve been Jonny’a handler since high school when we met at youth group. I am an avid Pittsburg sports fan, outdoorsman, and nerd. Jonny and I enjoy going to concerts and music festivals together, along with the usual teenage antics. Even when he was in the Marines we always kept in touch. I had pulled Jonny out of many ditches, picked him up from falling on sidewalks during numerous alcohol binges, and helped him up during concerts when he moshed just a little bit too hard. Without me, he may still be lost somewhere in VA.
Melanie Mercado
Bridesmaid
The bride and I are cousins and were forced to live together as kids in FL. Ashley and I became more of my sister to me than anything else when we went to a family vacation to Georgia in 2017. I'm the Florida cousin that has to follow Ashley with a bottle of sun lotion when she visits-- Jonny, I'm passing the torch to you!
Danny Martinez
Groomsman
I am Jonny's cooler younger brother (I'm in a band). My favorite memory is when we would go to the beach as kids and pull each other out of the saves like soldiers.
Jaclyn Pisarski
Groomswoman
Jonny and I first met in high school. I was better at Latin than he was, and he spent the semester trying to beat me. Obviously, he didn't win. Then he went off to the Marines and I went into my senior year. Somehow we stayed friends despite only knowing each other for a few months before he left and despite a few prolonged periods without communication. I have so many fun memories Jonny. From the times he visited me in college and nearly lost a finger to that one summer a few years back when we both pushed our injured bodies to workout almost every day of the week. Despite (or because of) the vastly different paths our lives took and the wild antics we got up to in small town NC, Jonny is still often the first person I tell when I need to get something out of my head and into the world. A true biffle.
Taylor Bower
Bridesmaid
I met Ashley at Cracker Barrel in 2017. I am 24 years old, emo in the inside, hopeless romantic, and a goofball. Ashley is one of my genuine friends that I can rely on, be at peace with, and smile brightly beside. My favorite memory with Ashley is when she got drunk at my house tucking my drunk ass into bed and kissing me goodnight on the forehead.
Jon Paige
Groomsman
I met Jonny at Bill's house Junior year of high school and knew him from other mutual friends. Bill was having a small gathering at his house in Spring Ridge which was a block down the road from where Jonny lived at the time. Since then that's when Jonny and I became friends to this day. Currently I live in Charlotte, North Carolina and coach College Men's Lacrosse at Belmont Abbey College. I would consider myself a high energy and overly caring person which is a big part of why I do what I do professionally. My favorite memory of Jonny was when we went to A Day to Remember concert in Richmond. We moshed our faces off and sang from start to finish of the concert. My next favorite of Jonny was when Ashley left us on our own for about an hour in Secrets in the back stage with a live punk cover band. We were just jamming out and then we became Ashley’s problem to babysit!
Caitlynn Sandoval
Bridesmaid
Met in 7th grade. I am easy going, and party loving on the outside, introverted as hell on the inside. Ashley and I compliment each other well and never a dull moment. I always have so much fun being around Ashley. My favorite memory is when we drove to deep creek at 1am to pick up a friend and I drove into a ditch, it was such a weird turn of events but a good time. Also one night when we piled 8 people in my small Pontiac Sun fire.
Devon Martinez
Groomsman
Fortunate enough to have known Jonny from the day he was born. Spent his whole life with him, and was lucky enough to call him my little brother and my best friend. I didn't get to choose my brother but God couldn't have blessed me with a better choice. One of the most special moments in my life was when Jonathan got to read my retirement orders from the Marines, effectively transitioning me from active duty to medical retirement.
Ches Morris
Ring Bearer
Ashley’s son I like to give all the cuddles, sun bathe, and go on walks.
Nick Peltzer
Groomsman
I'm Nick and I've known Jonny for 13 years! I had been friends with his brother, Devon for a couple of years. When Jonny started TJ high school freshmen year, Devon asked me to sit next to him on the bus so he didn't get picked on. My favorite memory with Jonny are when he got shot in the ear with an airsoft gun and man cakes (he knows what that means).
Maylia
Flower Girl
I love riding horses and playing lacrosse. Ms. Ashley was my Nanny and taught me swim lessons. My favorite memory was when she took me to go to the pumpkin patch.
