Harold Forgey

Luke Schmalz

Best Man

Luke became Talons brother in law August 4, 2012 when Talons sister Crystal married him into the family. Luke is Talons mentor, sensei, spiritual counselor and has taught him so many things in this brotherhood. Truly, Talon would not be at the place he is today without Luke.

Makayla Stacy

Maid of Honor

Marisa met Makayla when they were 4 and both lived on N Prairie St. in Hamilton, Missouri. From the time they spent dressing their dolls, kindergarten graduation, practicing for cheer tryouts, crying over relationships, high school graduation and all of the years of just doing their best at life (most definitely got into some trouble... ) and then the 10 hours distance. The good bad and ugly in between all of these years is what makes these two so close. A galaxy could come between them but the memories and relationship Makayla and Marisa have is inseparable.

Robby Vaughn

Groomsman

Talon grew up with Robby from childhood. They have many funny and unforgettable stories of their friendship, from lighting a ping pong on fire at a birthday party to praying and seeking God in the alter. Robby is Marisa’s brother in law, Talons lifelong friend, and family.

Kaitlyn Vaughn

Matron of Honor

Marisa’s oldest sister. Her voice of reason and built in best friend. God knew what He was doing when He placed Kaitlyn and Marisa together. What Marisa would do without her? We may never know!

Alistair Cowan

Groomsman

Alistair, aka Mr. Professional became a life long God ordained friend to Talon at Life Christian church in 2016. From breaking ankles on the basketball court, cruising on their boards, to navigating life. Talon would hate to admit where he'd be without this guy.

Briana Clayton

Bridesmaid

Briana moved to Marisa’s hometown in 6th grade and tried stealing Marisa’s boyfriend over the summer. Long story short they didn’t want him anyways and the rest is history. Brie is her hype-woman hottie! A babe that Marisa values for a lifetime and have learned so many valuable lessons with so far in this life. Though distance has tried this friendship, Marisa and Brie are inseparable.

Jasmine Forgey

Bridesmaid

From stealing each others clothes, giving Marisa wedgies, talking about boys and being there for each others first heartbreak, Jasmine is her big sis! And Marisa can’t say “I do” without her making her laugh through the whole process!

Francisco Rodriguez

Groomsman

Andrea Leaman

Bridesmaid

Andrea came into Marisa’s life unexpectedly but in the most perfect timing. This is a relationship that came late into 2020, but feels as though it’s been a lifetime. Andrea is a mentor, friend, sister Marisa was always meant to have, a kindred spirit after years of feeling almost too much like an individual, and a boss woman Marisa admires. Andrea makes life more fun, and will make Marisa’s day all the more special.
