Paige & Taylor
Wedding Party
Paige Meeker
Bride
I am Paige, I will be 29 by our wedding date! I have graduated from 3 different colleges! My latest being from Weber State University in Ogden, UT. I am a Radiation Therapist, which means that I am the one who delivers the high doses of radiation to cancer patients! In my free time I love spending time with my family & friends, shopping, crafting, & traveling! I’m a huge shoe fanatic, you can never have too many shoes (unlike Taylor thinks lol). I am the oldest of 3, but also the shortest.. Growing up I played almost every sport you could, I won a state championship in cross-country & a national championship cheerleader & hip-hop dancer (give me enough alcohol & I’ll pull out those moves). I also ate my twin in the womb! 😅
Taylor Paul
Groom
I am Taylor, I am 26. I work at Paul Transportation doing recruiting, billing, and some marketing here and there. I am the oldest of 4! I was born on Friday the 13th, so I thought I might be haunted. By looking at my past dating life, you would think so. But it really does happen when you least expect it. I knew after the 6th or 7th date with Paige that she was the one. I went to high school at OBA and attended college at OSU and SWOSU. When I’m not at work I enjoy spending time with family and friends, shooting guns, detailing my car, traveling, going to movies, and anything outdoors.
Addison Meeker
Maid of Honor
Addi and Paige met the day she entered the world and ruined Paige’s mission of being an only child! ;) She is 7 years younger than Paige, and drove her nuts when she was younger. But now they are best friends who talk nonstop everyday from the moment they wake up until they go to sleep! Paige likes to take credit for why Addi was so good at basketball because she toughened her up by hitting her in the face with a golf club and slinging her out of the golf cart making her land face first into gravel! Paige was also the first person to teach Addi how to spell her name (U-G-L-Y)! Now Addi is raising Paige’s little mini me who is giving her a run for her money everyday, Paige supports and encourages it 100%!
Shay Vogt
Best Man
Shay and Taylor met in 7th grade and immediately became best friends. They both have a love for shooting guns, inappropriate jokes, off-roading, detailing cars, and a love for Christ and they both needed this love, because they spent most of their high school days in the principals office. So they both needed a lot of forgiveness, just ask Shay about his favorite poem the Jabberwocky! Although Shay moved to Amarillo to continue his fathers farming legacy, they’ve kept in very close contact and talk to each other almost daily. (mainly to gripe to each other about how it is working for their fathers) Taylor has to call Shay anytime he is driving somewhere, just to talk, even when Paige is in the car with him!
Kadee Meeker
Bridesmaid
Kadee is Paige's baby sister, a whole 14 years younger than Paige and still somehow taller than her. (insert eyeroll emoji) Paige was actually in the room when she was born... probably the reason Paige is not ready to have kids herself, just yet! Kadee has been Paige's little side kick since she was born, she taught Kadee all the ways to sass their mom and drive her crazy. Kadee was like her own personal baby, Paige took Kadee to her first day of Pre-K and then moved away to college in the same day! Now Kadee is a freshmen in high school, playing all the sports like her older sisters and makes Paige feel super old!
Grant Clift
Groomsman
Grant and Taylor are cousins, but Taylor has always looked at Grant like he was his big brother. They lived in an apartment together for 2 years and became even closer to each other. They both enjoy going to the gun range together, even though Taylor is a much better shot than him. Grant is now married to Savannah and living in Chicago, working as a CPA, managing mergers and acquisitions. If it weren't for Grant's insight, Taylor may have gone broke due to eating out for every meal! Taylor actually caught the garter at Grants wedding and four months later Taylor proposed to Paige!
Jessica O'Brien
Bridesmaid/Photographer
Jessica and Paige met in 2010 their freshmen year of college at NWOSU, fun fact they both ate their twins in the womb! Yes, I know she looks like she could be Paige’s sister but she's not! They used to spend their Thursday nights dancing the night way at the Nite Lite and skipping class the next day. Now Jessica is a wife, a mama of 2, running a photography and make-up business! Paige honestly doesn’t know what she would do without her, Jessica always the one who keeps Paige in check, but also the who to support her crazy side every once in while! “She's my person. If I murdered someone, she's the person I'd call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor. She's my person!”
Adrian Moore
Groomsman
Adrian and Taylor became friends in 7th grade. Both were on the football team and were thought to be the two best running back's on the team..... oh no wait, that is Adrian who is athletic. Both have a love for weight lifting and fitness, they still like to compare their muscles to this day. Taylor had his first beer with Adrian while deep sea fishing for Wahoo's, Taylor says his fish was obviously the biggest! Adrian is now married to Kellee and living in Weatherford!
Brooke Crawford
Bridesmaid
Brooke and Paige met sophomore year of college at NWOSU. They actually met because they were both dating the same guy, fun story lol! They decided to ditch the guy & became friends instead, but of course they had to let him know they knew about it in style. They decided to go eat together at the restaurant he worked at, it was very priceless seeing his face when he saw them together. Brooke and Paige ended up living together Paige’s last semester at NWOSU & their loft apartment in the downtown square of Alva was the place to be with our hallway bowling alley and rooftop bar/pool! They have so many memories from learning how to wop, the Harry Potter car to the Backstreet Boys concert that got cancelled as they were standing in line to enter it.
Joel DeSecottier
Groomsman
Joel and Taylor met back in 7th grade. You would not know it now but they use to butt heads in school, most likely because they are a lot alike and they always liked the same girls, which is funny because Joel is dating a Paige as well. Over the years they grew closer and closer, Taylor now considers Joel to be one of his best friends. They both like to travel to Amarillo to visit Shay, shoot guns, go off-roading, and every now and then Taylor having to show Joel who is boss on Call of Duty.
Emilee Jackson
Bridesmaid
Emilee and Paige met in 2013 while Paige was a radiology student, and then Paige took a full time job with Emilee in the Radiation Oncology department at Integris, while finishing her degree in Utah. They had the best of times at work together, learning all the new dances and singing "nobody" at the top of their lungs. Emilee was constantly trying to hook Paige up with any guy she could think of, and it drove her crazy that Paige would always find something about them to not go on a date with them! It was actually Emilee kids Paige had with her at Finn's birthday party when Taylor and Paige met! She's always Paige’s go to friend for an adventure, crafts, or just to go get a sloppy beer at El Patio and gripe about whatever!
Ethan Owens
Groomsman
Taylor and Ethan met in college at SWOSU and rushed TKE. They were both into similar things if not for Ethan, Taylor may have not made it to class because he struggled waking up in time for his 10am classes. Ethan now lives in OKC and just recently got engaged to a girl named Paige as well. (These Paige's sure know to handle these boys ;). )
Journi Meeker
Flower Girl
Journi Kayt is Paige's niece, she may look like her mama but she acts like Paige! Paige was in the room with Addi while she delivered her. Journi came out eyes wide up swinging her arms around ready to fight whoever until she was placed in her moms arms. She is Paige's little partner in crime at keeping the family in line, she's full of sass and energy. (Just wait till you meet her, you will see) Journi definitely takes after Paige with how she is obsessed with shoes and making sure her outfit is on point every day, like seriously she has to check herself out in the mirror before she leaves and isn't scared to tell her mom when she needs a bow added to make the outfit! She loves to play fight her Tay Tay and help Paige keep him from stealing her spot on the couch!
Finn Paul
Ring Bearer
Finn is Taylor's little brother, he is 5 and Taylor thinks he is best behaved child he has ever met. (his high school teachers will be happy, unlike Taylor's teachers were) Finn was the little matchmaker for Paige and Taylor. Paige lived next door to Finn and his mom, so she got invited to his 3rd birthday party. Finn use to tell Taylor that he was going to marry Paige and he didn't care that she was dating Taylor! So not only is Finn the little brother Taylor always wanted, he is also the best wingman by introducing Taylor to the love of his life aka Paige!
Elliot Roche
Ring Bearer
Elliot is Taylor's nephew, he was soo excited to finally get a nephew and Elliot is the cutest! He loves to dance, sing, clean, and has a really good throwing arm for a 1 year old. He is getting better and better everyday at learning how to walk, just wait till you see him take off down the aisle on our big day!
Dr. Marc Dreyer
Officiant
Dr. Marc Dreyer and his wife BK were Taylor and Paige's SYMBIS coaches for their premarital counseling. Marc is a retired Senior Pastor of 39 years. He has a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice a Masters in Theology and a PhD in Counseling Psychology.
