Wedding Party
Danielle Fowler
Matron of Honor
Danielle is the best soon-to-be SIL ever! She has been there since the beginning of Paul & Rachael's relationship and continues to be one of their biggest supporters. Danielle can be described as a lover of all bugs & plants, melodic death metal, and maximalism in addition to always rocking the best thrift store fashion. Rachael will owe her forever for fielding all of the never-ending wedding questions and ideas over the past year with grace and poise.
Melissa Uldrick
Bridesmaid
Melissa and Rachael became best friends through the horrors of undergrad nursing school. Melissa is the biggest fan of all things Disney (hit her up if you ever need all the pro tips on how to navigate the parks), the show "Friends", movie nights, and laughing at the crazy mishaps we get into together. She also has excellent taste as evidenced by being a fellow TN Vols fan and Dollywood enthusiast.
Emily Dugre
Bridesmaid
Rachael is trauma bonded to Emily for life from working together in the Medical ICU at Vanderbilt. At your own risk ask either one of us about the incident that solidified us as best friends 💩. Emily's favorite things include Michael Jackson, Millennial music bangers, Tom Brady/The Patriots, Dunkin' Donuts coffee, and of course epic "Frozen nights."
Jessica Riley
Bridesmaid
Rachael is also trauma bonded with Jessica through working in the trenches together in the MICU. Jess is a travel extraordinaire, the biggest movie/TV show buff, and the ultimate host of "Frozen nights". She also knows the best hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurants and is currently becoming an expert at speaking Spanish fluently. Notably, Jess was also previously an owner of the infamous Joelton Gym.
Jordan Fowler
Best Man
Paul's arteest (artist) younger brother. Jordan has always been there for him through thick and thin. He also has way too much dirt on Paul to not be the best man.
Tyler Hudgins
Groomsman
Paul's oldest friend. Tyler has always been there for Paul whether it was getting sent to time-out together in Kindergarten or policing each other's birthday gifts as kids to now visiting each other as adults.
Andrew Van Zile
Groomsman
Paul's next-door neighbor while growing up, former roommate, and all-around goof. Andrew has seen Paul through many ups and downs throughout his life. He rivals and perhaps even surpasses Paul in his knowledge of questionably useful trivia.
Ryan Todd
Groomsman
One of Paul's best friends through high school, college, and adulthood. Ryan has always been the one with all of his stuff together, and he excels at getting things organized and taken care of when needed. Underneath all of that, Ryan is secretly the biggest jokester of us all.
James Lewis
Groomsman
Even though James is technically Jordan's BIL, James has securely earned this position by becoming family to Paul as well. James often gives Jordan the amazingly ironic experience of having a surrogate younger brother (which Paul lives for since it gives Jordan a taste of his own medicine). 10 out of 10; no notes.
Tim Bray
Officiant
Tim and his sweet family moved to Morristown, TN during Rachael's senior year of high school where he became the youth minister at her home church. He mentored her brother, Landon, for a summer shortly after which ended up being life changing for Landon. Tim continued to be Landon's biggest mentor for the rest of his life, and the Bray family quickly formed a very special place into the Sharp family's hearts. Tim's sense of humor, faithfulness, and perseverance through trials is inspiring to everyone who is fortunate to know him. Once Rachael and Paul started dating, the Bray's became big fans of Paul as evidenced by one of Tim's daughters nicknaming him "Permanent Paul" (or PP for short) the first time they met him. Rachael & Paul are so honored and excited to have their dear friend Tim officiate their wedding!
