Miles & Elliandra
Wedding Party
megan langford
Maid of Honor
Megan was Elli's roomie all four years of college. Who knew getting put into a random roommate draw would lead to Elli gaining a best friend? These two have been through everything together: hysterically laughing late at night because they forgot about homework for a music class, crying about stupid boys, reminding each other of truth in low moments & pointing each other back to Jesus, late-night Taco Bell runs, movie nights, songwriting sessions in an AU practice room & so, so much more. Megan is fiercely loyal, incredibly kind, & having her as a friend is an honor & a privilege for anyone who knows her. Some things about Megan: - She was born & raised in Texas - New found lover of Costco - Carnations are her favorite flower - She's just a girl with tummy issues

zachary gonzalez
Groomsman
Zach is Elli's one & only sibling! Being almost 6 years apart (5 years, 11 months, & 12 days, to be exact), as well as having very different interests & personalities, the two didn't always get along. However, as they got older, they grew much closer & now have a wonderful relationship! Zach was a little quiet & watchful around Miles at first (I mean, come on, she was his only sister, so he had to do his brotherly duty & be a little skeptical), but now he is always pestering Elli about what Miles is up to & how he is doing. She suspects he may like Miles a little more than her. Zach has the best sense of humor (truly, he is hilarious & makes Elli laugh more than she'd care to admit), but he also has the kindest, most tender heart. You can't meet Zach & not love him. Some things about Zach: - Zach has played multiple sports including baseball, soccer, basketball, & golf - He loves cars & wants to be a mechanic one day - When he was a little kid, there was a season when he would watch the movie “Over the Hedge” every day, multiple times a day - He's a big sneakerhead
