Wedding Party
Alexa Schimp
Maid of Honor
My sister, life long best friend, and now, maid of honor. I have known Alexa my ENTIRE life. Being an older sister to Alexa comes with a lot of responsibility: being a constant role model, setting a good example, "take your sister with you", and always getting into trouble first so she knew what she could get away with. Though we're a mere 5 years apart, we have always been close, in big thanks to our parents. Over the last 6 years, we have become closer than ever. It has been a pleasure to watch her grow into a beautiful young woman. Alexa has accepted this role of maid of honor with such responsibility and ownership. It sincerely warms my heart to see her so excited to help me through this life changing moment. Alexa will always be my little sister and one of my biggest supporters.
Rachel Heath
Bridesmaid
Now lets take some time to go back to the good ol' days with Rachel, starting with 1st grade, then to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade and on through college. Rachel has been a true friend since the very beginning. Our friendship started when we were very young and she has graciously remained a constant throughout my life. When I think of my friendship with Rachel, I think of family. Similar to a sister, she is someone that will always give me an honest opinion regardless and always wants the best for me. I am so lucky to have such an amazing friend in my life that will be by my side on this very special day.
Rebecca Scott
Bridesmaid
Rebecca and our friendship goes back before we can remember. My mom found a picture of the two of us from my 6th birthday party. Little did I know, years later we would be best friends. Rebecca is that life long friend, that no matter how much time has passed, when we are together it is like we haven't skipped a beat. My high school days and fondest memories always include Rebecca. When I think of my friendship with Becca, we are ALWAYS laughing. She is someone I can always be myself around and be completely honest with without judgement. I am so happy to have Rebecca by my side during this special day!
Khali Ruffin
Best Man
My friendship with Khali goes back to our military days where we met about 19 years ago. We have been roommates and have experienced multiple deployments together. Although some were fun and exciting, others were not as desirable, but we always managed to make the best of our situation. During these times, we were able to form a great bond that would lead us to a great friendship for the rest of our lives. Since our time in the military, we have remained friends and have been there for each other for our major life changing moments. I am so glad to have Khali by my side as my best man while I marry my best friend.
Andrew Merylees
Groomsman
Andrew is the oldest of my two younger brothers. Growing up, I always wanted the best for Andrew and I knew he was going to accomplish great things. He is smart, hard working, and a "go getter" in everything he does. I am so proud of the man Andrew has become. Even though Andrew is my younger brother, I look up to him in many different ways. I am very thankful and excited to have my brother by my side during our special day.
Brandon Merylees
Groomsman
Brandon is the youngest, the "baby bro" of my two younger brothers. Brandon has always been the outspoken one that is never afraid to speak his mind. He will always be the first person to stand up for someone, or what he believes is right. Brandon is smart, hard working, and can succeed at anything he puts his mind to. I am very proud of Brandon and everything he has accomplished. I am glad to have my brother by my side for our wedding day.
