Rachel & William
Wedding Party
Bekkah Haraldson
Matron of Honor
My tied-for-oldest friend (by birth, not choice), Bekkah and I have only grown closer with age. From traveling Europe to being Will & my biggest supporter, I couldn't ask for a better matron of honor!
John Parker
Best Man
I met John when I attended UNC-Chapel Hill. We played in many music ensembles together and then I ended up renting a garage apartment from him when I lived in Houston.
Elizabeth Woodman
Bridesmaid
Liz (eldest sister) has been my biggest role model in wedding planning and overall life for my past 26 years. She also brings the two cutest members of today's festivities to the team.
Jonathan Minnick
Groomsman
Jon and I were roommates our sophomore year through senior year at Carolina. We both studied music together and performed together in every music ensemble the trombone could play in. We even traveled to London together for to perform a concert!
Erin Kennedy
Bridesmaid
College roommate, best friend, and matchmaker who introduced Will and I, so obviously she gets to give a speech.
Collin MacIntosh
Groomsman
Collin and I have been cousins since I was born. We grew up at Lake Waccamaw fishing, spotting alligators, and playing Mau Mow. Do 7’s roll?
Melissa Beachy
Bridesmaid
We might as well be sisters - my first sleepover was at Melissa's house and I basically lived chez-elle throughout middle school, which means she's seen all of my awkward stages and somehow has loved me through it all.
Mike Dorato
Groomsman
I met Mike in my time at Duquesne in Pittsburgh. I was his pep band assistant, trombone trio buddy, and late night food partner.
Audrey Brown
Bridesmaid
We've been friends since we were ~6 y.o. and the four of us (Melissa, Audrey, Bekkah, and Rachel) have been pretty inseparable ever since. So again, all of the awkward stages and yet here we are.
Clayton Heath
Groomsman
Clayton and I were both in the same year at Duquesne. We played racquetball habitually, also played trombone trios with Mike, and ate way too much at cheesecake factory.
Olivia Woodman
Flower Girl
The sweetest flower girl and Rachel's niece who has been making us melt for the past 1+ years.
Caleb Woodman
Ring Bearer
The cutest of ring-bearers is Rachel's nephew Caleb who has been stealing all of our hearts for the past 3+ years.
