Rachael & Michael
Wedding Party
Malia Williams
Maid of Honor
Malia ("Nana") is my sister-in-law to-be and my little undergrad-in-training xP. I have literally probably poured every ounce of advice and care with navigating college life that I could into her knowledge space (probably to her annoyance at times xD), and as soon as Michael proposed, she returned all the favors by being my #1 wedding advisor -- sending me color schemes, wedding arch ideas, invitation samples, and honestly so many things I hadn't even thought of.. I would literally be lost without her. I am forever thankful to have her mind and heart help guide me, and I am so very lucky to have her as my Maid of Honor.
Isaac Williams
Best Man
Isaac is the sibling that I have spent the most time with. Growing up, we've enjoyed the good times and toughed through the bad ones together. Even as the younger brother, he's taught me so much throughout my life and helped me in ways I'm sure he doesn't even realize. I could always count on Isaac be the voice of opinion (even if it was at the wrong time lol). Together we've shed plenty of blood, sweat, and tears and through all that we've built a bond that can never be shaken. I'm extremely thankful for every moment I've spent with my brother, and I'm very lucky to have him as my Best Man.
Sara Ingram
Bridesmaid
Sara is my cousin who travels the world and works cameras on tv shows and movies. It's rare we see each other, so it's super special to me to have her with me. When we were little, Sara would hang out with my brothers and me, and I'll always remember how she gave up watching the OMG-RATED-R movie Jaws - the movie everyone wanted to see - for Pokemon because Jaws was too scary for me xD! As I embark on the scariest and most wonderful journey I could take in life, I am so lucky to have her there watching out for me again and giving me the honor of being my bridesmaid.
Christian Owens
Groomsman
Whether we were doing 1000 laps playing Forza Motorsport or getting put in push-up position by my dad on Christmas Eve, Christian has always stuck by my side and supported me throughout my life. The love and care he’s shown me over our mostly long-distance relationship as brothers are what strengthened my resolve to complete my 20 years in the Navy. He’s shown me that even when separated by time and distance, the unwavering and unconditional love that your family gives, will always be there waiting for me to come ashore from the long journey out at sea.
Taylar Nolte
Bridesmaid
Taylar is the most worthy Uno player you will ever meet (and lose to) xD! From day one Taylar has been different to me in a variety of ways from most people I meet. When I got super excited (as I very strangely do) over a pattern of numbers in a date that reoccurs only every 4+ years, she thought it was super cool too and marked the next date in her calendar. I knew then that we'd be friends. Always caring, a fellow fan of Taylor Swift<3, and super amazing at putting together beautiful and delicious charcuterie boards, Taylar is a treasure, and I'm so happy, thankful, and honored that she will be up on the line with me as my bridesmaid.
Jordan Keller
Groomsman
Jordan and I met in the fall of 2018 playing the most masochistic game imaginable…”Final Fantasy XI”. We had both began playing in the mid 2000’s and had played on and off with me coming off a 6-year break. A big reason in me meeting Rachael was due to Jordan and I think through the years that we knew each other he was giving me that push I needed to confess how I felt about her. I’ll never forget the time Rachael was deafened in discord and being asked by a tipsy Jordan, “So what’s going on with you and my sister?”. Jordan has given me nothing but support since day 1, and I’m honored to have him stand by me giving support as my groomsman.
Mikayla Williams
Ring Bearer
Mikayla ("KK") is the youngest and most active of us. If she's not slaying at soccer, she's busy learning to be a referee or killing it at volleyball. She's the #1 goal keeper, so she'll keep our rings safe. Just don't wake her up before 11am on weekends, and don't take her seat at Mexican Train... or there WILL be problems. xD!
