Wedding Party
Paula Shrum
Maid of Honor
Waited 30+ years to ask her to be Maid of Honor! Growing up sharing a room, going to CNU and overlapping for one year and joining the same sorority truly bonded us. We cannot imagine our day without the super fun, caring and party starter Paula!
Alex Morrison
Best Man
Alex and I roomed all four years of college and have never looked back. Alex and I have amassed quite a collection of concert posters from Railroad Earth at the Red Rocks to Dead & Company in Nova. He and his wife forced me to get on dating apps and we are so thankful they did!
Brittany Dorsey
Bridesmaid
From Catch Phrase in the Trible Library at CNU, to being Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority sisters, to beach trips to Corolla, and to navigating Williamsburg life, Brittany has been through it all! I was honored to be a bridesmaid at Brittany's wedding years ago!
Alex Feidler
Groomsman
We lived on the same hall Freshman year and I have only called him “Alex” twice. He is affectionately known as Fougler. From Habitat for Humanity in the Carolinas to Fourth of July’s on the Eastern Shore, Fougler never misses a chance for a good time!
Jenn Sweiderk
Bridesmaid
When you live together throughout college and still come out as friends, you know it will be a friendship for life! Fun fact: we watched the entire series of Friends our senior year! I was honored to be Jenn's Maid of Honor on her big day! We can't wait to celebrate ours with Jenn and her family!
KaCey Jackson
Groomsman
KaCey and I shared an office for almost two years at Colonial Williamsburg. He is always there to share a beer or a secret, though he has a tough time keeping them. (He is known as KaCey-IA). I’m excited to have him be a part of our wedding!
Lindsay Meredith
Bridesmaid
New Years Eve 2006 started a wonderful life long friendship! She has been a constant in my life, even if we have been miles apart for years. I couldn't be more thankful for my crafty, bargain shopping, fellow freckled, and super sweet bffaeaeae.
Ben Cook
Groomsman
Ben and I survived Calculus, learned the Soulja Boy dance, and watched the entire 24 series together freshman year. Many memories from college have Ben front and center. I am thankful to have him stand by my side on our wedding day, as I did for him!
Ande Remington
Bridesmaid
Where do I begin? Ande is another Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority sister, but she is so much more! She is a fellow Toano neighbor and beach goer and wonderful friend! We are so glad to have her help celebrate our day!
Ricky Shrum
Groomsman
I couldn't ask for a better brother-in-law! Ricky and I share a love of craft beer (especially IPAs) and dry humor! He may have me beat in height, but I am honored that he will stand next to me on our big day.
Amber Gibbs
Bridesmaid
Nathan's sister just doesn't begin to describe Amber! She has been such a welcoming member of the Ryalls family! I am so glad to be gaining a great sister-in-law. We are so excited that she will be part of our day!
Mike Shrum
Groomsman
Mike constantly makes me laugh with his Shrum family antics. Mike and I share a love of history and teaching it's value to students. I am so grateful to be gaining a brother-in-law like him. We are so glad Mike will join us on our wedding day too!
Addy Gibbs
Flower Girl
Addy is so excited to have a fellow lady join the Ryalls family! Addy had the choice between Altar Server and Flower Girl, but she is not one to pass up a sparkly dress! She is just the sweetest and we are so excited to have her as our flower girl!
Ezekiel Gibbs
Ring Bearer
When "Zeke" officially accepted the mission as ring bearer, we cheers with apple cider! He is so cute and the perfect little man for this role. We can't wait to see him in his "spenders" and bowtie!
Daniel Gibbs
Altar Server
Daniel made Nathan an uncle and godfather. Being the oldest of four, he has a great sense of humor. On Mother’s Day, he made sure we didn’t forget the “future moms” winking at Julie!
Jackson Gibbs
Altar Server
Jackson is quite the ferocious reader and war movie buff. He makes sure Nathan gets to see the history movies Julie won’t watch! He is quick to remind Julie that the “Eagles” are "the best team" from Pennsylvania.
