Wedding Party
Aldelis Reyes
Bridesmaid
We met in college, and were absolutely inseparable. Aldelis (Deli) and I have kept contact frequently since she moved back to Rhode Island, and I literally miss her everyday! Every! Day! Always! She is a beautiful person inside and out and a wonderful mother to her son, Creed. I couldn't ask for a better best friend. Grateful to know her and blessed she's in our wedding! Deli has been there for me through thick and thin. We have a friendship that will last for decades, and we are absolutely in love with her son, Creed. A perfect human birthing another perfect human! I'd have probably gone crazy now if it weren't for Deli and her free therapy sessions; I hope you know I love and appreciate you, always!
MaryBeth McAllister
Bridesmaid
I don't even know where to start! MaryBeth and I have been friends since the 8th grade, when we were both attending Immaculata Catholic School. She has always been more like a sister to me than anything else; she and her family have always been in my corner and have always been there when the going got tough. We attended Riverside High together and some of my most vivid memories from that time included MaryBeth: driving around in her car blasting Mac Miller, visiting her in yearbook, skipping our fourth periods to go get donuts (sorry Mr. and Mrs. McAllister!)... I don't know what I would do without her in my life! She and her family have been so consistent, I can't even imagine. MaryBeth has also designed all of our wedding stationary and runs her own graphic design business! An angel.
Elizabeth Henry
Bridesmaid
Elizabeth (Lizz) has known Nick and his family for years, and has been my friend since my sophomore year of high school. She is one of the most compassionate, understanding and simply kind people I have ever known. She is so accepting of everyone and their situations... it is truly humbling to be her friend and see how generous she is with those around her. Some of my fondest memories are nights spent staying up all night talking to Lizz and trying to figure out our lives together. She is currently in college (so smart!) and doing literally everything - she even sings, and sounds like an angel! Forever grateful to know her and have her in our lives. Love you Lizz!
Elisha Stinson
Bridesmaid
Elisha and I have been friends for nearly 3 years now... she was my trainer when I first started at Tijuana Flats. We made fast friends; our first time meeting, someone had broken into my car and took all the change (weird, right?), and she comforted me while I stress-cried... if that wasn't a sign of true friendship, and so early into our relationship, I don't know what is! We have so many memories together I don't even know what to put down. Sleepless nights sitting on her memaw's porch and watching the sun come up, rescuing a baby bunny and driving all the way to Raleigh to drop him off at rehab, walking back and forth from her house to the bars on main street... she is truly a goddess inside and out, and being her friend is truly an honor. Thank you for always being in my corner! <3
Isaiah Kelso
Bridesman
Isaiah (Kelso) is in a world all his own. One of the goofiest, kindest, and understanding people I've ever met; he's got the worst luck sometimes, but he never seems to let it get him down for too long. He's the one who taught me how to skateboard and dared me to go down a giant hill sitting down on one... needless to say that didn't turn out too great, but the video we got of the whole ordeal was funny! One of my best friends, Kelso has always been there when needed. A truly compassionate and sweet humans - he's like a brother to me, and I cherish our friendship. I remember staying up until the wee hours of the morning skating through Louisburg, or playing basketball until we dropped. Love you, Kels! Never stop being you!
Hannah Jobrack
Bridesmaid
Hannah and I are almost the exact same person, minus the glaring height difference (love you Han). We met at Louisburg College a few weeks after she had moved to NC from California, and we made fast friends; originally she wasn't living in the dorms, and I can remember plenty of nights she'd just stay on campus for sleepovers. We obviously became fast friends, which snowballed into her, Aldelis and I all being pretty inseparable during our brief time on campus. We've been through a lot together as friends, and honestly I feel like she's one of the best I have. Can always count on her to be in my corner supporting me, or to stay on the phone for hours listening to me complain about nothing! I'm the worst! I love you Hannah, thanks for being perfect literally always!
Marcus Pulliam
Groomsman
While Marcus is my brother, he is undoubtedly my first real friend. From playing Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh together to watching cartoons at Gussie and Pops; we have spent a lot of time together shaping into the men that we are today. Even though we use to butt heads constantly I aspire every day to be as nurturing, caring, and understanding as he is. I have had some of the best nights just staying up and sniping the hell out of people in Halo with this guy. I hope he understands how much of a rock he has been for all these years.
Devin Pulliam
Groomsman
Didn't have much of a father figure growing up, but my brother Devin was all I needed. Such a loving, caring, and intelligent young man. A lot of who I am today stems from seeing this guy and wanting to walk in his shoes. He is someone I can always come to when in need or just to talk too. I see what he has made for himself and the beautiful family he has made through all the struggles, and I see that happiness is always achievable. He is the man I strive to be like and the man I hope to make proud one day. Thanks for showing me what a strong black male is.
Frederick Amspacher
Best Man
From the first time I met Fritz it was a good vibe. In the 5+ years I've known this dude he has helped me way more than he probably knows. I don't think I'm truly ever myself in public more than when I get together with this man. He allows me to fully come out of my shell with no judgement, and I love him for that. He is always the life of the party no matter where he is, and if not for him I wouldn't be the social butterfly I am today! I've had so many memorable nights with this guy its ridiculous; from jumping fences and trespassing on schools at night, to having dance battles with homeless people, to just watching The Office. There isn't anyone I would rather be stuck on a deserted island with. We don't get to see each other every day, but Fritz and I will always be "Vest friends".
Carter Amspacher
Ring Bearer
Our favorite little bean, product of Maddie and Fritz! He loves Sesame Street (who doesn't) and long walks in the sand box... he's single, ladies! Escorted by Aldelis Reyes.
