Meghan & Chase
Wedding Party
Adria Saldivar
Maid of Honor
Adria and I met playing soccer in high school! She is fiercely loyal and one of the first people I told about Chase when I knew I liked him. She has been by my side since then and I cannot imagine a lifetime without her!
Sean Elemento
Best Man
Sean and I met our freshman year of college. I lived with him for 3 of the 4 years of undergrad, and he has been a wise and loyal friend. If you see him at the wedding, conversation topics could include: fishing, The Office, cool fishing spots around Waco, Do you fish?, Do you want to go fishing?, No?, Okay I'm going to go fishing, and Baylor football.
Sydney Swift
Maid of Honor
Sydney and I met working as Line Camp leaders after our freshman year at Baylor. Sydney has taught me all about the gift of friendship + how to care for the people around you! Our friendship has been life giving since its very first day + I cannot thank her enough for standing by me!
Nate Wasserman
Best Man
Nate and I met on my second day of college randomly standing under the same tree. It's a weird start to a friendship but I am very thankful we both sought shade that day! Nate has been a loyal and constant friend in my life and I am so grateful for who he is. Conversation topics for Nate could include: Disney, just about any Baylor sports team, baseball, Bruins hockey, and how many times his sister has been on stage at the Grand Ole Opry!
Amy Grieser
Bridesmaid
Amy and I met met our freshman year at Baylor and have been roommates for 3 years! She is part of the reason why Chase and I became friends in the first place + immediately let me know that she thought we would work as a couple. She is all things joyful + always reminds me of how to spot the good things in all situations. I am so grateful to have her by me for my wedding!
Luke Gilcrease
Groomsman
I've also known Luke since my freshman year in college. In the time I've known him he has shown me so much of what faith should look like. Conversation topics could include: tennis, whether or not he could beat Meghan in ping pong, that one time him and Chase pulled an all nighter playing video games, and how many times he thinks he had PB&J sandwiches for lunch in college.
Bethany Acosta
Bridesmaid
Bethany was my freshman year roommate + bestie, and we went on to live together for all 4 years of college! She taught me everything I know about good music + determination + how to boogie. I have spent many a long night studying or exploring Waco with Bethany + I can't thank God enough for the gift of her friendship!
Keane Tarbell
Groomsman
Keane technically started as my boss but quickly turned into a mentor and lifelong friend. Keane taught me about what it means to be authentic and his friendship is nothing short of a gift. If seen at the wedding, conversation topics can include: the Enneagram, Baylor sports, the wine club he's a part of, and what it's like to work with hundreds of incoming college students every year!
Kaitlyn Holstein
Bridesmaid
I met Kaitlyn--also known as K8--the very first day of move in my freshman year. She lived on the first floor of our dorm and we just so happened to sit at the same table as Bethany and I! K8 has taught me what it means to be courageous in the face of the unknown and it is a joy to have her with me on my wedding day!
Isaac Blevins
Groomsman
I've known Isaac since high school! He is a friend like no other and I am grateful for his wisdom and guidance. Conversation topics with Isaac could include include: anything Young Life, how good of a workout dancing is, and what high school chase was like!
Jessica Shaulis
Bridesmaid
Jess and I also met the first day of move in and she was Kaitlyn's freshman year roommate! I am so grateful she was at the same table as me because she has taught me all about kindness + the importance of having fun! Jess has been a huge blessing in my life and will continue to be one during my wedding!
Trevor White
Groomsman
I've known Trevor for a few years now and even though it doesn't seem long it's like I have known him for decades. Trevor is someone I can always count on for laughs! Conversation topics could include: Baylor football (there's a theme here), Nascar and his pit crew job, and how many hours of video games he's played with Chase!
Jacquelynn Sosa Mandel
Bridesmaid
I have known Jacqy for roughly 11 years and she has officially been my sister in law for 5 years! I have always wanted a big sister, and Jacqy has graciously filled that role since 2010. She has taught me so much about being kind in all seasons and I am thankful she will be by my side on my big day!
Brian Mandel
Groomsman
Brian is Meghan's brother and I have been grateful to get to know him over the course of dating Meghan! He is someone I can always look up to and know he is a phone call away. If you see Brian at the wedding, conversation topics could include: Baylor sports and what it was like attending Baylor during the RGIII era, just about anything related to Crossfit, and that time he illegally drove Meghan to a park when they were kids.
Brittney Patrick
Bridesmaid
Brittney is my cousin and has quite literally been a day 1! I will forever cherish the memories I have of growing up with her and I am so grateful for all the ways she has shaped my life! She has always been someone I've looked up to and I am forever grateful to have her by my side!

Kevin is Meghan's other older brother! I have been so thankful he is around and that I can look up to him as both a father and husband. I have learned countless lessons from Kevin! Conversation topics with Kevin could include: almost anything related to soccer, Vegas Golden Knights hockey, how fun it is being a #girldad, and what it was like being Chase's roommate on family trips!
