Wedding Party
Mallory Cooper
Matron of Honor
My oldest friend, my little sis. Mal and I used to share a bedroom growing up, and she would annoy me so much. People would always tell us that we would become best friends, but I don't think either of us believed that until a few years ago. We have been through all seasons of life together with joyful times and sorrowful times. She now has become one of the people I talk to the most and the person who encourages me the best. I am so grateful that my sister is also my best friend. Everyone who meets her immediately loves her-she is kind, energetic, empathetic, and beautiful on the inside and the outside.
Marissa Dickerson
Matron of Honor
My bestie gal, my soul sister. Rissa and I always laugh about how we first became friends in college- it was the summer between my freshman and sophomore years and we met up to watch Harry Potter. It was so awkward and we barely spoke to each other.. however, our friendship began that day and I am forever grateful. She is the kind of friend everyone wishes they had-honest, hard-working, loyal, a great listener, and will laugh and cry with you any time. We have been through so many seasons of life together- friends throughout college and nursing school, roommates for three years after moving to Atlanta, and now co-workers who live 5 minutes away from each other. I was her Maid of Honor a few years ago in her wedding and I am so honored to have her as mine!
Kayleigh Longshore
Bridesmaid
Kayleigh, also named by me in middle school as KJeezy, is my oldest friend that isn't family (but she basically is family). We have been friends since the 8th grade, and we probably spent more time at each others houses that at our own alone. There are so many embarrassing (and hilarious) memories that we both share, and I am thankful we have about the same amount of blackmail we could use on each other to where we just do not speak of certain things. KJeezy is creative, compassionate, smart, and funny and I am so glad to have her in my corner as one of my dearest friends. We are also coworkers now so our lives have pretty much come full circle!
Zoe McFall
Bridesmaid
ZoZo and I became friends in the first year I moved to Atlanta after graduating college. We knew each other in college but we never really were friends until we lived in the same apartment complex and would go for walks and grab coffee often. One of my favorite memories with Zo is road-tripping cross country from Los Angeles to Atlanta. She is one of those people who inspire me constantly by the way she loves people and loves the Lord. She asks some of the most intentional and hard-to-answer questions, and she always has great advice and wisdom to share. Although she now lives in LA, she still finds a way to be a great friend from across the country.
Allie Grimes
Bridesmaid
Al Pal, my gal. Similar to Zoe, Allie and I went to the same college, but we did not become friends until I moved to Atlanta. Allie, Zoe, Marissa, Emily and I are adventure pals and have gone on several trips together, including a trip to Maui, to CA, and lots of trips to the beach in FL. Since I have known Allie, who is now a mom, she has always been a season or two ahead of me. She is one of the most organized and consistent people I know, while also being fun and hilarious. She says what she means and means what she says, and she is always willing to offer words of wisdom and encouragement. She is a great mom, and I hope to be like her when I grow up (:
Emily Rogers
Bridesmaid
Em is a gem. No, but really. We went to college together and lead a middle school girls Bible study together. It was then that I noticed how different of personalities we have but also how amazing of a person she is. She would always say that the girls thought I was the "fun one" but it was only because without Emily, we would never get done what we were supposed to. Emily is one of those friends who keeps everyone together, like glue-but she does so in a loving way. She is generous, caring, persevering, encouraging, and funny. I look up to Emily in a lot of ways in how she carries herself, how she has pushed through and relied on God through difficult times, and how she shows up for her friends and family.
Callie O'Connor
Bridesmaid
Cal Pal and I became fast friends a couple of years ago when she was a new nurse and I was her preceptor. We are now roommates, and it is wonderful. She is the kind of person that makes everything more fun-even if it is going for a walk around the neighborhood or having coffee/watching reality TV at home. She encourages me to love people better, because she is always taking time to be there for others by listening to them, getting them little gifts, and being vulnerable. Callie is so loving, generous, fun, joyful, talented, and a great last roommate before my forever roommate.
Thomas Mastrototaro
Best Man
The oldest of my younger brothers, Thomas is a person that you can rely on day in and day out. While he may not be the best responder to texts, he will always have your back and loves fiercely. Growing up alongside him these past 26 years has been a blessing and I'm so happy that he's one of my best men in my wedding! Life looks a little different now that we are older, but he knows what it means to be with someone to the end of the line, and that's all that matters to me. He currently lives in Roswell, GA with his amazing wife, Hannah, and their dog, Marshall, and I'm so grateful that he's still in the area. Oh, and he's also the BIGGEST Marvel nerd I know so please ask him all the questions about Daredevil is the best superhero in the MCU!
Daniel Mastrototaro
Best Man
The youngest of the two younger brothers I have, Daniel is passionate, loyal, and as loving of a brother as you can find these days. Naturally, as a younger brother, he was sometimes the most annoying person in the world to me, but I knew that after all was said and done, we still loved each other more than anything. We have gone to numerous midnight premieres together, we've laughed together, we've fought together, and we've cried together and I am a better man because of him. I can truly say that without any doubt. He's someone you won't forget once you've met him and I couldn't think of anyone better to complete the two-person dynamic duo of being my Best Man!
Ryan Carey
Groomsman
Ryan and I have been co-workers, roommates, and everything in between, but at the end of the day, we will always like brothers and he always be family to me. From the moment I met him at Camp All-American, I knew that this guy and I had A LOT in common and the summer of 2016 became all the more better because of it. As the years have passed, we have grown up in so many ways and the friendship has changed and evolved into something better because of it. I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world. We game together, play Dungeons and Dragons together, pray together, and try to bring the Lord into each other's lives whenever possible. Simply put, get yourself a best friend like Ryan. Your life will become better for it!
Peter Ngo
Groomsman
Peter has been my boy since that fateful summer at Camp All-American in 2016. It really was like our friendship just made sense right from the get-go and I can't honestly imagine my life any differently. He's easily one of the most naturally athletic people I know and he can rip a football like no one else can, which is nice because it helps me strive to put in the effort each and every day. I'll always cherish the talks we have on the phone or while eating good food, and I know 100% that he always has my back, because he loves like no one else. He is loyal and compassionate, even if he doesn't think so sometimes, and if I ever just want to throw a football or get emotional with someone, he's there for me. He currently lives in Johns Creek, GA with his best pal and good boy, Oogi, and you NEED to meet him because he is adorable!
Dan Gastley
Groomsman
Dan the man has been one of my best friends for almost five years now. We first met during my first summer of Camp All-American in 2016 but it wasn't until a few months after that summer ended that we truly began to hang out a bunch. Dan always stuck out to me as someone that you could depend on talk to, plus it didn't hurt that we had a lot of common interests! He has been my roommate since November 2020, and I always know that when I'm around Dan, I'm going to laugh and have a great time, or get my butt whooped in chess (seriously, he's very good at chess)! We poke fun at each other all the time, but I love this man to death and I know that he feels the same for me, which is something super special these days.
Austin Kulp
Groomsman
Austin is one of the kindest and goofiest people you'll ever meet. Every conversation and interaction with him is genuinely heartfelt, but also super silly at the same time and I absolutely love that about him. He is someone that I can constantly rely on and talk to about anything. He's just an easy person to hang out with, to the point where we can be sitting in the same room reading or watching tv, and we don't have to say a single word to each other! We've been roommates, co-workers at Booster, and even play D&D together almost every other week, but more importantly, he's one of my best friends and I love him dearly. Everyone needs an Austin Kulp in their life and I'm so happy and grateful that I have mine!
