Wedding Party

Meet our favorite people

Melanie Rupple

Bride


Ryan Jones

Groom

Brey Sizemore

Maid of Honor

Brey lives in Chicago, Illinois, and met Mel when they were marketing interns at the University of Alabama. Their friendship was sealed the moment Mel shotgunned a beer to convince a group of old men to take some company gear—just so they could wrap up the day and go home early. Brey knew right then and there: she had found her best friend.


Justin Lentz

Best Man

Jalen Allen

Man of Honor


Bret Isenhoff

Groomsman

Bret lives in Sumter, South Carolina, and has been friends with Ryan since 7th grade, when they met in band and immediately began a long tradition of shenanigans that lasted through graduation. They've stayed close ever since, catching up over golf and video games.

Brooke Rupple

Matron of Honor

Brooke lives in Jacksonville, Florida, and met Melanie when she started dating Bryce—Melanie’s younger brother. Honestly, Brooke was more nervous to meet his sister than his parents. But the two hit it off right away, and ever since, Brooke has looked up to Mel as the big sister she never had.

Britt Carrington

Bridesman

Britt lives in Valdese, North Carolina, and met Melanie back in high school. They quickly became inseparable, spending late nights driving around and talking about everything under the sun. Over the years, their friendship has felt more like a sibling bond, strengthened by countless adventures and a whole lot of shared memories.


Danny McCarthy

CJ Drake

Bridesmaid

CJ lives in Huntsville, Alabama, and met Melanie through their sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi, at the University of Alabama—where Melanie was her Big. They connected quickly and shared tons of memories together, from AOII events to study sessions to the occasional night out. Over the years, their friendship has grown, and CJ has always been someone Melanie can count on.


Devon Jones

Groomsman

Devon lives in Huntsville, Alabama and is Ryan’s younger brother. He met Melanie in 2021, and as they got to know each other, it didn’t take long for Devon to see how well she fit into the family. He’s been cheering them on ever since.

David Ash

Bridesman

David lives in Birmingham, Alabama, and met Melanie when they were randomly paired as college roommates. What started as a lucky pairing turned into two years of fun—especially their nights out in Tuscaloosa, where espresso martinis became a shared favorite.

Tyler Sarcletti

Millard Young

Officiant

Millard lives in North Pole, Alaska, and met Ryan in 2019 during a PT test that would determine whether they kept their scholarships. Ryan passed—Millard didn’t—but a bond was formed through those early mornings and late nights in school. Years later, they ended up as roommates and co-workers in Fort Knox, Kentucky, and somewhere along the way, Ryan went from being just a friend to being like a brother.
