Wedding Party
Bailey Brislin
Maid of Honor
One of my first friends from college, Bailey is a joy to everyone she meets. She has the best documentary recommendations and is known for her road trip playlist! From roommates to this, Bailey is always a friend to count on!
Ryan Harris
Best Man
Ryan Harris has had the difficult role of my friend ever since he moved my lunch to his table in our college cafeteria. He’s been a great listener, someone who challenges me to think outside of myself, and has shared laughter and some of the biggest milestones of my life- I knew he had to be a part of my latest and forever greatest journey.
Natalie Smith
Bridesmaid
Natalie is known for her love of dogs and breakfast foods! She is the expert in all things Disney, and spreads her own magic across everybody that she meets. Her joy and love for life is infectious!
Ben Schuch
Groomsman
I met Ben during my second year of college and he quickly became one of my closest friends. Ben is known for his patience, his kindness, and his Red Hot Chili Peppers hoodie (that he made himself)! I couldn't imagine getting married without his calming vibes surrounding me.
Kathryn Wright
Bridesmaid
Kathryn is our favorite Irish citizen and BBQ connoisseur. She is passionate about equity for children and helping those around her. Ask her for the best book recommendations or when you need someone to binge watch Gilmore Girls with! Everyone she meets is better for knowing her!
Dakota Wilson
Groomsman
Dakota is one of the most passionate people I've ever met. The first student I spoke to at Chowan, we immediately bonded over beard care and our favorite philosophers. He watches all the good cartoons and is one of the most giving people I've met. I couldn't do this without him.
Cassidy Gillie
Bridesmaid
Cassidy was my first tennis partner and we became quick friends while I made jokes on the sidelines due to my poor form and general clumsiness! One of my oldest friends, Cassidy is always able to get a laugh out of the people she meets and is constantly down for ice cream. Her personality and quick wit are some of my favorite things!
Charles Blackburn
Groomsman
Charlie was always quick to offer a helping hand or a pun to those around him. Charlie was always willing to mediate between the passions of the boys and we're lucky he never grew tired of our short jokes!
Delaina Chalfant
Bridesmaid
Delaina was the first friend I made when I changed schools in fourth grade! She didn't hesitate to reach out to the nervous ten year-old girl with bangs and welcome her into her life. From cross-town rivalry schools to swapping teaching stories, every time we meet we're able to pick up right where we left off! Delaina's creativity and passion for helping others is amazing!
Drew Hungate
Groomsman
Drew is Marissa's little brother and a constant source of laughter! Whether he's talking about gardening or hanging out with Daisy pup, he's sure to bring a good time. He's the best porch builder and New Balance junkie we know!
Mikayla Long
Bridesmaid
Mikayla is known for her love of Jesus music and is always down for a Cookout run late at night. She's crafty and is always willing to lend a listening ear! Here spirit and love for life is something that positively impacts each person she meets.
Darrien White
Groomsman
Lucky for me, Darrien befriended me when I was an awkward sixth grader and remained one of my close friends! Though we went our separate ways after high school, and I may not know what state he's in at any given time, I know that wherever he is I have a friend as close as a brother.
