Wedding Party
Kayla Andresio
Matron of Honor
Kayla is Taylor's literal day one. She had the chickenpox when Taylor was born but still NEEDED to hold her - just one of many examples of how she'd kill for her lol. They've grown closer as they've gotten older and FaceTime nearly everyday about basically nothing. There's no one else who could possibly fill this role.
Mi Robee Potato
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Mi met in the sixth grade!!! She is Taylor’s oldest friend (not oldest like old but you get it). Mi is the life of the party and can be found GETTIN IT on the dance floor at the wedding while Taylor and Jordan do the robot.
Melissa Cabungcal
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Melissa spent most of their freshman year in high school at Melissa’s house watching Dance Moms and eating Totinos party pizzas. They’ve been best friends ever since. If Taylor needs to hide a dead body, she knows who to turn to.
Rebecca Abrams
Bridesmaid
Taylor met Rebecca her very first week of college. They lived together for years after that, fought when Rebecca would steal Taylor’s oreos, and suffered through MCAT prep courses together. Taylor will never visit Rebecca on “the Island” where she’s attending medical school because Galveston is a terrible place to live, but Rebecca knows she’s always welcome in Chicago ❤️
Kelly Schultz
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Kelly sat together on the bus to orientation camp the very first day of medical school and bonded over their love of the Kardashians. Their Say Yes to the Dress + rosé + Mala Sichuan nights kept Taylor going during medical school and residency, and Taylor misses Kelly dearly!
Jocelyn Abraham
Bridesmaid
Jocelyn and Taylor trauma bonded their first month of internal medicine residency at Baylor and have been best friends since. Not a KMS meme goes by without being sent between the two of them. They’re both hospitalists now and can’t wait for their schedules to finally sync up so they can travel the world together!
Christopher Huie
Best Man
Chris and Jordan have been best friends since freshman year at Princeton and are each others biggest fans! Over the years, they’ve managed to grow even closer despite the distance between them. It’s only fitting Chris is standing beside Jordan on the big day.
Kenny Mao
Groomsman
Jordan met Kenny in middle school - the only sixth grader to have a six pack and a retirement plan. Kenny will always go out of his way see Jordan and Taylor if they’re in town. He’s known them separately and as a couple and has never failed to make them laugh. He’s a true friend to them both.
Ian Smith
Groomsman
Jordan has known Ian for almost two decades, and Ian’s driven Taylor crazy for just a few years less than that. He’s like a brother to Jordan. While they don’t get to see each other as often as they’d like, when they do get together it’s like no time has passed.
Jason Qin
Groomsman
Jordan and Jason met freshman year in college. They were in the same eating club and fraternity and spent almost too much time together. They’ve been known to have friendly debates and even friendlier all-out brawls in the middle of the street. It’s a true bromance for the ages.
Jeffery Shivers
Groomsman
Jeffery is Jordan’s older brother and great friend. He’s kind, generous, and dependable and exactly who’d you want supporting you on your wedding day.
Jacob Shivers
Groomsman
Jacob is Jordan’s younger brother. He’s kind, smart, gives great book recommendations, and is the best uncle/babysitter Stanley could ask for!
Xuan Smith
Officiant
Xuan is Taylor’s Aunt. She sprinted across the street (with a toddler on her hip) to Taylor’s house the second she saw Jordan’s car pull into the driveway for their very first date. She’s been their biggest supporter and #1 fan from the start. She’s the perfect person to tell their love story and pronounce them husband and wife.
Stanley Gibbs Nguyen-Shivers
Ring Bearer
Stanley is the best thing that’s ever happened to Jordan or Taylor. The goodest, the sweetest, the FLUFFIEST boy?? There is no wedding without SGNS.
Liam Andresio
Ring Bearer
Liam is Taylor’s first and only nephew and Jordan’s BFF. He’s the coolest kid around. You’ll definitely see him on the dance floor - he’ll be the one in the center of the circle with people chanting his name or challenging someone to a breakdance battle.
Madelynn Andresio
Flower Girl
Maddie girl is sweet, sassy, and a force to reckoned with on the dance stage AND the soccer field. Everyone knows not to mess with her. But she is going to LOVE getting all dressed up for this wedding. Her hair and nails are guaranteed to rival the bride’s.
Emma Andresio
Flower Girl
Emma is a ball of joy and pure sunshine in a toddler’s body. Unlike Taylor, she wants to be just like her older sister (😝), so she’ll be hand in hand with Maddie, walking up the aisle in a matching dress.
Samantha Shivers
Flower Girl
Sammie lives near Seattle with her dad Jeffery, Jordan’s older brother! Jordan and Taylor are thrilled she can join in on the fun and look forward to her becoming best friends with Emma and Maddie.
