Wedding Party
Rebecca Flaugher
Matron of Honor
Rebecca and Rachael, otherwise self-proclaimed as "R&R", have been best friends since the 6th grade when Rebecca and her family moved to the same neighborhood as Rachael. The two only lived in the same state for 4 years but distance did not not weaken their friendship in the slightest. R&R have been on many adventures together including Rachael's first out of country trip to Spain to visit Rebecca when she was living there. Rachael had the honor of serving as Rebecca's Maid of Honor and is now excited to have her in her own wedding!
Sowji Mukkamala
Maid of Honor
Rachael and Sowji became besties during their first year of Physical Therapy school at West Virginia University. Neither one could have survived the grueling years without the study sessions, long walks/venting sessions and late night outings. Rachael and Sowji now live and work in the same city and enjoy weekly yoga classes together, paddle boarding on the Kanawha River and taking those oh so necessary therapeutic walks.
Anika Rowe
Bridesmaid
Anika and Rachael have been best friends since they met in the 6th grade at John Adams Middle school. They've come a long way since Rachael put Anika's name in her phone as "Onika". She is now in her phone as the more affectionate "Estrella". They've written a song together, (shout out to The Wanna A's), experienced a Myrtle Beach Senior Week together, been college roommates, traveled to Spain together and have been by each other's side through all the awkward phases, glow ups and everything in between!
Caroline Moore
Bridesmaid
Caroline and Rachael met during their first year of Physical Therapy school at West Virginia University when they were assigned to the same locker. They then became lab partners for the duration of school where they became closer as they cracked each others backs, performed every PT exam known to man on each other and spent hours studying together. Rachael could always count on Caroline for a note of encouragement or advice from a woman of God. She inspires Rachael to be a better friend, therapist and Christian every day.
Isabella Anile
Bridesmaid
Rachael and Isabella became best friends during their first year of Physical Therapy school at West Virginia University. They quickly bonded over a love for hiking, travel and craft beer. Rachael never passed up an opportunity to hang out at Isabella's town house with Lola and the gang, where the name "Lolaballers" was created after Lola stole the show during a mini hoop bball game. Rachael and Isabella love to pick on each other, laugh together and have much needed serious life conversations. Rachael is counting on Isabella to keep the yearly hiking trips going forever!
Chelsea Bales
Bridesmaid
Chelsea is Daniel's older sister and Rachael's new (and first) sister. Rachael enjoys hanging out with Chelsea during trips to Charles Town, visiting micro breweries and eating out and at Hepner Family OBX vacations! Rachael can't wait to be part of the Hepner Family!
