Rachel & Zac
Wedding Party
Andrea
Maid of Honor
Also known as Rachel's Twinnee. Rachel met Andrea almost 5 years ago through Oviedo High School Football. Little did they know both of their lives would change and their relationship grew stronger. Andrea has been "my person" through the ups and downs. Their friendship is more like a sister bond and we couldnt be more honored to have her stand by Rachel's side on one of the most important days of her life.
Kayla
Bridesmaid
Rachel's sister, the first out of four siblings - and the only brunette. Having an 8 year difference, one would think that we couldn't be as close as they are. Kayla and Rachel support eachother, share everything with one another, and share the same stubborn tendancies. Kayla is the soccer star of the family, but Rachel definitely got the brains.
Veronica
Bridesmaid
Rachel's "mini me", the third out of her four siblings, and the one with the biggest heart. Veronica is the type of sibling and person who will drop anything and everything for someone she cares about. She is the wild, hilarious, secret trouble maker who could make a whole room fall in love with her spunky personality. Rachel cherishes the bond she holds with Veronica and couldn't be excited to have her apart of the big day.
Ashton
Bridesmaid
Zacs little sister. Ashton and Zac may not always get along but have always looked out for each other. One of Zacs favorite pastimes is giving Ashton a hard time, but was always faithful to write her intoductions on essays. She makes sure Zac can't ignore her opinion and always runs her impulse decisions through Zac. Rachel, could not be more thrilled to gain a sister-in-law, shopping partner, and wine loving lady to her family.
Amanda
Bridesmaid
Rachel met Amanda back in the good ol' UCF days. Over 10 years of friendship, Amanda has been such a huge support system, private investigator and true friend. Being a fellow New Yorker, Rachel knew right from the start that she found a winner! Amanda has such a genuine heart and infectious smile, it woudn't be the same if she wasn't standing by Rachel's side.
Jenny
Bridesmaid
One of the strongest woman Rachel knows, Jenny and Rachel first met through friends at UCF. Their friendship has grown over the years and Jenny truely turned into one of Rachels good friends. Being the first Momma of the group, we got to learn of all the hilarious things and events that can happen. Her faith, Momma and Wife capabalities, and caring heart inspires Rachel daily. We couldn't be happier to have her along side of us during our big day.
Brennan
Best Man
Zac and Brennan met in one of their first Engineering classes at UCF. They became study partners, drinking buddies and roommates. Brennan and Zac have gone different directions since finishing at UCF but have remained close through it all. Each is quick to take each other down a notch when the time calls for it.
Allen
Groomsman
Allen took Zac's spot in the "Bro" house when he moved out of the house he shared with Brennan. This didnt stop he and Zac from striking up a friendship. As fellow "know-it-alls" they love to challenge each other. Zac took on parenthood so Allen wouldnt have to learn the hard lessons first. Zac did a super OK job at this and earned the title of Carter's God Father!
Josh
Groomsman
Josh and Zac met while at UCF through Brennan and Allen. On the first night they met, Josh challenged Zac to a wrestling match that didnt go so well for him. This pattern continued until they were great friends. Josh and Zac have both cut back on wrestling, but have done more crab boils and DIY project in recent years. Zac appreciates that Josh is only a call away, whatever is asked. (Apparently Zac forgets the two wrestles that occured at the UCFvsStanford Game - Rachel)
Adam
Groomsman
Adam may have married into Zac's family, but he couldn't have asked for a better friend. From hunting, to fishing, or keeping Ashton in her place, Zac is thankful for the brother he now has.
Reed
Groomsman
Rachel's brother, the second sibling out of four. Rachel and Reed love to prove each other wrong, we are always both right! Rachel and Reed are more alike than they want to admit. Reed is the wild child who makes the whole family laugh over his crazy ways. Reed would do anything to protect his family and even if ya'll just argued, he would still be there for you. Life would definitely be dull without Reed in it and we are excited to have him join in on the festivities!
Kai
Groomsman
Finally, the baby of the family, Kai Richard. Rachel is basically Kai's second Mom, no really...she use to put him in time out when her own Mother was in the same room. Mom - "Kai why are crying and you sitting in time-out?" Kai - "Rachel put me in time-out" Mom - "Rachel, I am the mother, I will punish him". This was an everyday occurance. We have a 15 year difference so Rachel was always over protective and motherly with Kai, and I assure you...he hated it. Kai is the sweetest boy with the biggest heart and we love to have him there with us on our big day.
Tracey and Glenn
Mother of the Bride
Rachel's Mother, Tracey, and Step Father, Glenn.
Ron & Noranne
Father of the Bride
Rachel's Father, Ron, and Step Mother, Noranne.
Steve and Becky
Father and Mother of the Groom
Zac's parents, Steve & Becky
Ezra
Ring Bearer
Zac's son, Ezra. This little boy is a complete blessing who strives to be such a good boy day in and day out. He is probably one of the best behaved children you will ever come across. He has been such a gift in Zac's life and has such a beautiful relationship with Rachel. We both couldn't be luckier with this little boy in our lives and making our family whole.
Layla
Flower Girl
You might not come across a funnier kid, who says the darnest things. Zac's daughter keeps us young and laughing non stop, always wondering - "where in the world did she get that?!". Layla is an outspoken, strong little lady who makes everyday a blessing. Zac is wrapped around her little finger and she absolutely adores "Her Miss Rachel". Our family dynamics have been so natural and we can't wait for more years to come.
Cami Joe
Ring Bearer
Cami Joe was the first little boy to steal his Auntie Rachel's heart. Andrea's son but Rachel will tell you that Cami Joe is half hers. This little boy knows what he wants and is the smartest little thing you have ever met. Since he was 2 he knew his planets, shape of stop signs, and other crazy things Andrea teaches him daily. He has a wild heart and keeps you on your toes but loves his Auntie Rachel and Uncle Zac, even though he gets "pow pows" on his butt from Uncle Zac!
