Wedding Party

Taylor VanCleave

Bride

Cody Hood

Groom

Grace Piersma

Maid of Honor

My name is Grace, I am 19 years old, and I live in Palmer, Alaska. I have a wonderful boyfriend, his name is Tristian. We are very happy together, and just recently moved in together. He is my Bestfriend. As much as I love him I still love my sisters a little bit more. Taylor, is my oldest sister and the one who i grew up with the most. She was there for most of my childhood and she would pick on me, ya know as big sisters do. But she was still there for me even when i was being a petty little sister. Both of my sisters give reasons to look up to them and I’m so proud of them both. Through all of our ups and downs I am so happy that BOTH of my sisters have found someone that makes them happy.

Drew Gurley

Best Man

Hola my name is Drew. Some of you may know me as big daddy, but if not then just call me Drew. I’ve previously been a full time poker player, but thanks to Cody, I’m now a part time shredder and part time raver. I love to travel and try to go and do as many things as possible. I keep a small circle, but my circle consists of the best people I know. I’ll do anything for those that I love and expect nothing in return. Friendly and respectable but will throw these hands if someone messes with my peeps, guess that’s just the Memphis in me 🤷🏼‍♂️

Juddi

Bridesmaid

I'm Juddi - just a lucky girl who calls Taylor my best friend.  I was born and raised in California, and moved to Colorado after my 21st birthday.  Colorado is where my life began.  My sister, and my very first best friend, became a mother, and thus, I became Auntie.  After four children over five years, I've been busy being the best Auntie to the best little humans in my life.  Taylor has been such a great friend; she's always supported and commended me for being such a great Auntie.  She thinks I'm  great friend and person, but Taylor is one of the most kind-hearted, genuine people in my life, and I'm so incredibly honored to be part of the day she gets to marry her person...her forever.

Travis

Groomsman

My name is Travis Willeford, aka T-Rav, and I’m from Longview, TX. Cody and I met back in 2014 and quickly became best friends and have been close every since. Cody and I work together and have off and on for the past 7 years. I have a boy German shepherd that I spend most of my time with when I’m not on the golf course. Are you a beaver? Cuz DAM girl.

Randy

Groomsman

What’s up? I’m Randy, I’m a fun and energetic dude, that loves to have fun and laughing and going to the beach, music is my life meaning music festivals and concerts are a must! My boy Severus (cat) is my world and I would do anything for him (ask for pics lol) But on another note I’m a welder/fabricator, I build everything from handrails to building structures and I love what I do! I believe you’re only as old as you allow yourself to feel, so I’ll probably always be a kid at heart. Don’t take everything in life so serious, none of us are gonna make it outta here alive so live it up and have fun! 🤘🏻
