Madison Grady

Maid of Honor

How do you know the Bride/Groom: Madison & Molly met at WSU through Tri Delta in 2014 when they became roommates. They quickly bonded over STEM majors, true crime, and college life. Through Molly, Madisonwas introduced to Cody after hearing about the "cute guy" in her neuro lab at WSU. It has been a joy for Madison to watch Molly & Cody's relationship grow and she is honored to stand by their side as Maid of Honor. Favorite aspect of a wedding: Seeing the couple's family & friends come together to celebrate and watching the two " sides" intermingle and connect. It's so fun to meet the people that are important to the couple, you might not otherwise have the chance to. Fun fact: I can sew almost anything!

Maggie Witherspoon

Bridesmaid

How do you know the Bride/Groom: Maggie & Molly met their freshmen year of college through cheerleading and became sisters of Tri Delta together. Their friendship has endured many miles over the years but when they're together it's like nothing has changed. Maggie got to meet Cody after him and Molly started dating and knew he was the one when our crazy ideas together didn't phase him. Favorite aspects of a wedding: Seeing the grooms reaction to the bride walking down the aisle - it's such a raw and true reflection of the love they share. Fun fact: I love to travel & have visited 35 states.

How do you know you know the Bride/Groom: Molly is my medical school bestie!!!! Favorite aspects of a wedding: Speeches - they always make me cry and feel the love people have for the bride and groom Fun Fact: I can deliver a baby in less than 45 seconds in a C-section

Brittany Vaughn - Pierce

Bridesmaid

How do you know Bride/Groom: Molly and Brittany met in the first year of medical school. What was a random assignment of 10 people became a lifelong friendship and Super Crew, proudly self-titled “Quail Team Six”. Endless hours of studying together broken up with a themed party here and there and the rest is history. Brittany met Cody through Molly, the first time being a pool get together. The terrible sun rays and the Ginger’s endless fight against them made for quick camaraderie between them. Favorite Aspect of a Wedding: This is going to sound extremely cheesy, BUT the way the Bride and Groom look at each other that day. There is nothing sweeter than seeing two people at the most in-love they have ever been. Those small moments they share together in the midst of wedding-day craziness is really special. Fun Fact: Brittany is terrible at the game Two Truths and a Lie

Soujanya Kondameedi

Devi Dearmon - Moore

Bridesmaid

How do you the Bride / Groom: I met Molly (and Cody) in emergency medicine residency. I am Molly’s best friend in residency! We are now trauma-bonded for life through the many hours we have shared at work, bathroom cries, and concert attendance on very few hours of sleep. Favorite aspect of a wedding: The vows! I’m overly sentimental and they usually make me cry. Fun fact: I have a fraternal twin brother, but I still think we look alike

Tyler Whitford

Groomsmen/Officiant

How do you know Bride/Groom: Tyler and Cody know each other since grade, and the sisterhood of Tri Delta introduced Tyler to Molly during their WSU years. Favorite aspect of a wedding: The overly complex explanations that people share when asked how they know the couple. "oh, I'm cousin Lenny's third son's plus one". Fun fact: Tyler is objectively scared to wrestle Cody

Matthew Tradewell

Groomsman

How did you know the Bride/Groom: I met Cody in Pullman, WA through the Best Man, Connor, and we instantly hit it off. So much so that I moved in with the group and even hired Cody to work with me at the GPSA (Vox Populi)! Not only did we dominate the workplace together, we quickly became great friends. I’m an only child by birth but after 12 years of friendship I consider Cody to be a brother in every sense of the word. Luckily, through Cody we were all introduced to the great and wonderful Molly. From the start, Molly was a hit amongst the friends. She is wickedly smart, outrageously funny, and a force for everything good in the world; and she’s my gossip buddy, shh. From Pullman, to Philly, to Phoenix, to St. Loius, I’ve loved travelling to visit Molly over the years and witness her fulfil her dreams! Favorite Aspect of Wedding: I will never say no to an open bar and groovy dance floor…but the love, definitely the love. Fun Fact: on a recent doctor’s visit outpatient note, I was credited as being a ‘pleasant 34 year old male.’

Groomsman

How do you know the Bride /Groom?: I met Cody in the 3rd grade after moving to Poulsbo. He was part of a cool group and I wanted in! I was in fact, not cool enough for the group, but Cody and I have always had a great rapport. Our friendship really began to blossom in late highschool and college. I met Molly in college when Cody and Molly started dating. I was always impressed she wanted to be a doctor, and wow has she followed through! Now she impresses me in so many other ways. Favorite Aspect of Wedding: The amuse bouche and the speeches parents/friends/siblings give to the bride and groom while we all sip champagne and listen. You never know what you're going to get, laughing one second and crying the next. Fun Fact: I have a haunted toothbrush

Jack Cloward

Groomsman

How do you know the Bride/Groom: I met Cody in the third grade and he's been one of my best friends ever since and now he's like a brother to me. I truly consider myself incredibly lucky have grown up with him and witness what an amazing person he has become. Cody is absolutely inspiring. One of the most caring and empathetic people and one of the easiest people to become friends with because he genuinely listens and is interested in the live of others. The level of support and encouragement he gives to Molly and others is unparalleled. I'm so happy for him and Molly and I can't wait to be apart of the next chapter of their lives. I met Molly through Cody and was awestruck by just how driven and ambitious she was and still is. She's so brilliant, focused and nurturing. Her attentiveness to the lives of the people close to her draws them in to near cultish devotion and she now is surrounded by people who love, respect, and depend on her. It didn't long before I started considering Molly like a sister to me. She's one of the people in my life who challenges me and makes we want to grow and be a better person. She's inspirational, commendable and an absolute blessing. Favorite aspect of the wedding: I'm a sucker for romance, so watching people fall in love and then share that love with the people close to them is definitely my favorite part. I'm for sure going to cry at the wedding. Fun fact: I can talk to animals but they don't always talk back.

Groomsman

How do you know the bride/groom? I met Cody et al. out in Pullman, WA while he was attending WSU. Cody and I hit it off immediately, vibing over our love of anime and video games and similar senses of humor. Eventually we wound up living together during his last year in Pullman… which just happens to be when Molly enters the picture! This wildly talented, driven, and passionate woman I’ve learned to admire and respect (and, quite honestly, even regard with a small sense of awe) made herself just as integral to our family as I once did. And so here I am now, celebrating these two beautiful souls with all of you over a decade later. What aspect of a wedding do you love the most? The gathering! The toasts! The music! The dancing! Seeing all of the love and appreciation we share in common bringing us together to celebrate two beautiful souls who each mean something a little different to each of us. It’s a remarkably unique experience that reminds us we’re all connected through something bigger. Fun fact: In 7th grade, I won my middle school spelling bee and got to compete in the regional Scripp’s qualifier in Seattle, where I *embarrassingly* failed to spell T-R-I-C-E-R-A-T-O-P-S after choking when I got up to the mic and looked out at the crowd, leaving out C-E-R-A entirely. *Still salty.*

Grayson Shipman

Ring Bearer

How do you know the bride and groom? I know them because they are my humans. I have lovingly supervised their relationship from the very beginning. Mom is my favorite human! What is your favorite aspect of a wedding? Definitely the attention. Everyone is dressed up, emotional, and distracted… which feels like the perfect time for me to steal a seat, look dashing, and possibly sample unattended food. Fun fact: I am extremely athletic, emotionally intuitive, and have never once paid rent.

Winry Hardesty

Ring Bearer

How do you know the bride and groom? I know the bride and groom because they are my personal chefs, nap companions, and full-time staff. I’ve been closely involved in their relationship by supervising from the bed, the couch, and whichever sunny spot has the best view. What is your favorite aspect of a wedding? The food, obviously. A celebration centered around fancy snacks, people holding plates, and the possibility of dropped appetizers? That is what I call true love. Fun fact: I am an expert bird watcher, professional napper, and can hear a treat bag open from three rooms away.
