Bride
I don't think Merrick knows how to not love. She has a gentle confidence that will turn a cynic into a dreamer & the biggest heart on planet Earth. She is curious, joyful, funny and doesn't care too much about what people think. She helps me see the world with more wonder and less fear <3
Groom
My guy, the best man on the planet. He’s adventurous, wild, caring, gentle and strong. He pays tremendous attention to things and I don't think it's possible to feel unseen around him. His care is deep, his mind is creative and his heart- amazing. He's got some mad jokes AND he is severely attractive. What more could you ask for!? He’s the BEST!
Maid of Honor
Merrick's sister and part-time roomie. Fire and ice these two. The perfect mixture. She is hilarious, amazingly caring, and an aspiring instagram influencer. Living with her in my favorite city this past year was undoubtedly the best part of my year. My best friend.
Best Man
His body says baseball but his attire says Portland. G is a man who knows his heart and knows God's. His kryptonite? Generic brand. Gray can be found on the couch asleep while insisting that he really does want to keep hanging out "all night"
Bridesmaid
Merrick's trendiest friend- Clare. She makes a mean gnocchi soup and seemingly knows everything about pop culture. She has an insane ability to make the person in front of her feel like the only one in the world. She loves really fiercely and fights for people- hard.
Groomsman
Behind the charming smile, you'd never guess that this man is a stone-cold killer in fortnite. He's kind, creative and never afraid to toss in a dad joke. Tim can be found in Kroger with bare-feet and an avocado (or ten) in hand.
Bridesmaid
Firecracker. She has loved me into more wisdom, crazy adventures, and a whole lot more wildness. She's a nurse- and has used her expertise in healing on me a few times. She is a safe place for me (and many more), someone who values me and always knows what I need to hear. Once she's in your corner, she stays there and she makes it so much more fun.
Groomsman
Widely known as the coolest boy in Athens, you'd never guess this man is the goofiest of them all. MVP of any prank war and notorious for his worship youth camp stories, it is hard to not have fun with Andrew. You can find Andrew on Reverb.com's most wanted list or at the gear-addicts anonymous club
Bridesmaid
With hair red and a heart even redder. She is kind, giving, so much fun, purely wonderful. Anna is one of the most compassionate, wise and willing people I know. She will drop whats in front of her to help someone others easily pass by. Being around her is like being at a talent show, quirky and unexpected, but worth it every time.
Groomsman
The. Chillest. Man. On. Earth. Homeboy could walk across I-75 and not even realize he was walking through a six-lane highway. Matt is loyal, thoughtful, funny and has a great mind. He's always down for anything and can probably be found crossing state boarders somewhere at 3am with a large coke in hand.
Bridesmaid
Boss. Woman. She is powerful and motivated and at the ripe age of 21 had already created and founded her own business. (one that helps women get out of sex trafficking) She is doubly fiery and caring. Emily is one of my most faithful friends, having her in my life has made it more rich, more fun, and inspired me to take more risks.
Groomsman
Hard-working, sacrificial, hilarious and the life of the party. Known for cooking up the best soy-sauce flavored beer in town, this man has an unbelievable gift of making Tony Hawk Pro Skater characters look exactly like their player. You can probably find Ryan unnecessarily-hammering something into a wall.
