Payton & Manuel

Wedding Party

Taylor Rigel

Matron of Honor

Taylor is my best friend of many many years dating back to elementary school! We have been through so many life changes together and I am so thankful for her love and friendship! She has consistently had my back and supported me through so many things; first days of school, first school dances, graduations, first dates, soccer games, college, first job, and the list could go on and on. I’m so thankful to have had her by my side through all of these things. Taylor is the kind of friend anyone would be lucky to have! Fun fact is that she was with me the day I met Manny! Manny and I love spending time with Taylor and her husband Chris! Taylor is the kind of friend anyone would be lucky to have!

Velina Perez

Bridesmaid

Velina is the big sister I never had! I am so incredibly thankful that Manny brought Vely into my life. Vely was a big part of our proposal in Disney! She is a ray of sunshine and has the most infectious laugh! Our phone calls during the week really keep me going! I am so blessed to have such a supportive and caring future sister in law, or my sissy, as I call her! I feel so fortunate too that I can also call my future sister in law one of my best friends.

Anabel Rumbaugh

Bridesmaid

Anabel is my lil goose! We met in college and were roommates during and post college for a couple years! Anabel is my karaoke partner and my confidant! She has always been such a loving and supporting friend! She has been by my side through some of life's biggest challenges and has always been right there to pick me up! I am so thankful to have such a caring and true best friend! Anabel and her husband JB have been great friends to me through the years and I had the honor of being in their wedding a few years back.Anabel is also an amazing mother to Eli, who I adore so much!

Elena Silva

Bridesmaid

Elena came into my life through Anabel and through the years we have become so close! I would say the three of us probably talk every day! Elena is a very loyal friend who goes above and beyond for the people she loves! I am so thankful for her friendship and could talk to her for hours about all things Taylor Swift and Disney! We discovered recently that we don’t have very many photos together because our hangouts usually involve PJs and wine on Anabel’s couch(that’s adult friendships for ya!)

Emily Hulsey-Branum

Bridesmaid

Emily is my oldest friend; she likes to say that she's known me since I was born, which is true! We met through our mom's who have a 30+ year friendship. Emily and I have grown very close over the past 5-6 years, I was honored to be in her wedding a few years ago too! Emily is naturally hilarious and I can always count on cracking up when I spend time with her! Manny and I love going on double dates with Emily and her husband Jake!

Mariah Hatcher

Bridesmaid

Mairah and I met during college! We had briefly met through mutual friends living on campus, but really got close after having a class together sophomore year! We were basically inseparable after that. We would sit in the dining hall for hours and just talk and people watch! Mariah was always down for late night drives when I needed to clear my head. Some of my favorite memories from college include Mariah and I am so thankful for her friendship! Mariah is an amazing mom of two and I am so blessed to be able to spend time with her two little ones!

Karen Massey

Bridesmaid

Karen and I met at college through a mutual friend and also lived together for a bit during college as well. Karen is the type of friend who never wavers, we can go weeks without talking but will always pick up right where we left off! Karen and I loved walking over to Pueblo’s in Dahlonega for margaritas before heading out for the night! Regardless of what we were doing or where we were, as long as we were together it was always a great time! She is truly one of a kind and I am so thankful for her!

Michelle Dubin

Bridesmaid

Michelle and I met while working together at Tombow! We instantly connected because we have the exact same Birthday! Michelle has been such a great friend to me over the years, and she is the type of friend who you can call up anytime if you need a listening ear or advice! Michelle and I would frequent The Works in Atlanta and always had so much fun just hanging out and talking! We also share a love for Taylor Swift! I am so thankful that work brought us together!
