Wedding Party

Mary Grace Burton

Bride

Peter Bennett

Groom

Esther Burton

Maid of Honor

"Mary Grace is the best big sister a girl could ask for. We shared a lime green and pink bedroom growing up where groovy girls and spaceship headbands ruled our world. We became best friends in that room, and thankfully that hasn’t changed to this day; she still puts up with me stealing all her clothes and losing her hair ties and putting my dirty feet on her bed. I love her so much and am so excited to see her marry her (second) best friend! "

Nathan Bennett

Best Man

Peter is my older and definitely wiser sibling. We share a love of sports, especially hockey. Mary Grace brings out the best in Peter and I am honored I will be a part of their special day.

Bridesmaid

"Gracie is my oldest sister and has never missed an opportunity to laugh at me when I hit my head or just discuss what has annoyed us recently. Peter is such a great match for her and i’m eager to see where God takes them in this next season of their lives. I’m so excited to be a part of her wedding party and can’t wait to party on the beach!"

Mary-Katherine Burton

Matron of Honor

"Mary Grace and I are recently officially sisters, but our friendship goes way back to high school. In high school Mary Grace and I would call ourselves the “Mary’s” and had the best of times! I loved her family so much that I feel in love with her brother and we have been best friends turned sisters every since. I’m so thankful you’re my sister and to now get Peter in the family too, y’all make life so much fun!"

Luke Burton

Groomsman

Peter and I first met when he and Mary Grace began dating at Auburn and he’s been a staple at family functions ever since. We’ve enjoyed many conversations around political science, ancient history and of course… botany! I’m excited to welcome him into our family and to celebrate him and Mary Grace this January!

Veronica Boza

Bridesmaid

"MG and I met when her brother, Luke, brought me home to meet the whole family all at once during a Brock / Burton family reunion in 2018 - aka baptism by fire. Instantly, MG was welcoming and kind, and is one of the reasons I love the Burton family so much. We went from strangers to friends to soon-to-be sisters, and I could not be more excited to stand by her on her special day and continually do my best to support her and Peter’s marriage!! Let’s do the dang thing!"

Zach Ahrens

Groomsman

Peter and I met on one of our first nights at Auburn and have been buds ever since. A year after we met, he told me about a girl named Mary Grace and that he wanted her to be his girlfriend. From very early on, I could tell they were meant to be and I am very excited for their future.

Katherine Stutler

Bridesmaid

“MG and I have been like sisters since she was born; whether it was fighting over who won our water drinking contest when we were 8 or the countless memories of us laughing so hard water comes out our noses. If you know us you know laughter and annoying giggles are not far behind. Love you so much MG. You are gonna be the most FUN bride.”

Luke Hedl

Groomsman

Peter and I met at Auburn University and became friends freshman year. We have shared countless memories together and even were roommates for a short time. It has been so amazing to watch his relationship with Mary Grace develop and I am more than honored to be a part of their ceremony. Congratulations Peter and Mary Grace!

Grace Bennett

Bridesmaid

"I know Mary Grace from my amazing brother, Peter Bennett, I am more than grateful that she has entered my life and I’m so excited for her to be my sister- in -law."

Samatha Coleman

Bridesmaid

"Mary Grace and I met while dancing at the Georgia Ballet as young girls. Since the beginning we did nothing but laugh until there was nothing left to give. As the years have gone by, we have been able to go on some of the best trips and create of the greatest of memories. No matter how much time we spend apart, we don’t skip a beat. Mary Grace has brought nothing but pure joy into my life. I am so happy for her and Peter as they start their new life together! Love you both!"

Beka Miller

Bridesmaid

"Mary Grace and I met 9 years ago when I started nannying for her fam. We quickly became close and have been like sisters ever since. She brings me so much joy and laughter and I can not wait to stand by her side in January!! "

Liv Wesson (4 years old)

Flower Girl

"I like about Gracie the way she plays with me. I play with her at the lake. She has a happy face when I give her presents. I love Gracie hugging me. Peter doesn’t open presents. I love it when Peter plays the matching egg game with me."

Reverend Michael Brock

Officiant

"I’ve known Mary Grace since before she was born. Being close friends with her mom and dad (Matt and I were college roommates), i’ve been able to be a part of her highs and lows her entire life. I met Peter when they started dating during college. Their personalities mesh well together and I sensed early on that he might be around for a long while. It is an honor and a privilege to officiate them making covenant vows to each other."

Lyla Wesson (2 years old)

Flower Girl

Lyla is Liv's younger sister and although she can't quite pronounce words and sentences fully she always has lots to say. This will be Lyla's first time walking down the aisle, and hopefully Mary Grace won't steal too much of the show!

Obi

Unofficial Ring Bearer

Whether we like to admit it or not we all pick favorites whether that's kids, friends, or pets. Obi is Mary Grace's best furry friend. If he's not already curled up in her bed, he's waiting outside the closed door "knocking" pawing at the door to be let in. Obi loves all, but has a special place for Mary Grace in his heart.
