Wedding Party
Jordan Raft
Maid of Honor
Jordan isn’t just my little sister — she’s truly my best friend. She brings equal parts loyalty, humor, and heart into my life. You can usually find her with a Starbucks in hand, heading to or from Pilates, and somehow always showing up exactly when I need her most. I’m so lucky to have her by my side, not just on our wedding day, but every day.
Justin Nelson
Best Man
Justin, the groom’s eldest son, is a remarkable young man with a bright path ahead of him. He takes great pride in his work at ADT, where his dedication and strong work ethic truly shine. Currently finishing up his studies in Dallas, he is majoring in psychology, a field that reflects his natural understanding of people and genuine compassion. Known for his intelligence and easygoing kindness, Justin has a special talent for connecting with others, making everyone feel comfortable and heard. He’s also incredibly skilled with computers, adding a technical edge to his many strengths. Standing tall—literally—at 6’8”, he’s the tallest in the family, but it’s his character and heart that truly make him stand out.
McKenzie Nelson
Family Processional Member
McKenzie, the groom’s eldest daughter, is a driven and inspiring young woman with a bright future ahead of her. Currently a freshman at CCBC Essex, she is pursuing a degree in exercise science, combining her academic dedication with her passion for athletics. Basketball holds a special place in her heart, and she proudly represents her school as a member of the team, showcasing both her skill and determination on the court. Known for her intelligence, athleticism, and kind spirit, McKenzie brings a perfect balance of strength and sweetness to everything she does.
Hadley Nelson
Flower Girl
Hadley is our sassy, sweet three-year-old and the absolute light of our lives. She fills every room with giggles, big personality, and endless love, keeping us laughing and on our toes in the best way possible. Being her parents is our greatest joy, and we can’t wait for her to be part of such a special day that celebrates the love she inspires in us every single day.
Jordan Nelson
Ring Bearer
Jordan is our 10-month-old bundle of joy and the happiest little guy you’ll ever meet. With his bright smile and curious eyes, he brings so much love and laughter wherever he goes. You’ll most likely find him right where he loves to be—on Mom’s hip—taking in the world, charming everyone he sees, and reminding us all what pure happiness looks like.
