Jacqueline Jaramillo
Bridesmaid
Jacqueline is the closest thing Shelby has to a sister! Being only 1 year and 1 day apart, Jacqueline likes to say that Shelby always copies her, starting with her birthday! They now both live outside of California, just bought a house, and work in healthcare...I guess she was right! Jacqueline was the first family member to meet Greg when he went on a plane for the first time to visit her in Chicago with Shelby. She decided he was a good match for Shelby and has since been one of their biggest supporters!
Nolan Copper
Groomsman
Nolan is Shelby's brother and forever her best friend! The two of them are about as close as siblings can get! Through all the crazy adventures Nolan takes Shelby on to their late night sleepovers laughing over stupid videos, they will always be best friends! Nolan is her biggest supporter (except when she backed into her moms car...and he snitched) and he is always the first person to be there when she needs him! He now has built a great relationship with Greg, fishing and hunting, and they couldn't have this day without him by Greg's side!
Eryn Wooten
Bridesmaid
Wooty is one of Shelby's best friends from college! Although they never lived together, she was an extension of her apartment! Their friendship started on a futon in the sorority hall and has only grown since then! Wooty is the only one of Shelby's college friends that still lives in Greenville and has been such an important person in her life! She's been to California to visit the whole family and taught them all the southern sayings. Wooty is more like family than just a friend and having her on this day is so special!
Graham Nall
Groomsman
Graham and Greg started their friendship back when they were 3 or 4 years old on the soccer field playing for the Field Rats. However, it wasn't until high school that they started to become close friends. When they both decided to attend Clemson, they became roommates and stayed that way for the majority of their college careers. Their love for golf, tennis, and disc golf made them even closer and they moved in together after graduation. Graham has been there since the beginning of Greg's relationship with Shelby as he was living with Greg when they met. Graham is like a brother to both Greg and Shelby and is a must-have person on their wedding day!
Kate Weston
Bridesmaid
Kate and Shelby met freshman year of college as neighbors in the dorms! They found out that they were in the same sorority and decided to become roommates the next year...and the next year...and the next year! Kate has been such a special friend to Shelby as a level-headed person in all of Shelby's craziness. She now lives in Chicago so their friendship is long-distance but that doesn't stop them from each other! Kate is one of the most down to earth, kind friends to Shelby and having her there on wedding day is essential!
