Wedding Party
Kimberly Zimmerly
Maid of Honor
Melissa's second oldest sister. Always the first to offer advice, a hug, or a reality check. She’s the calm in the chaos, the voice of reason in every whirlwind, and the person you can always count on to show up with honesty, heart, and just the right words.
Maddux Mullinax
Best Man
AJ's best friend of the last 12+ years. From high school, to college, to graduate school, to careers, these two have been through it all together. Whether it's fixing up an old car for an endurance race, building an observatory, or an impromptu midnight road trip to Kentucky; there has been no shortage of adventures with these two.
Tiffany Dyer
Bridesmaid
Melissa’s oldest sister has always played many roles. Part cheerleader, part advice-giver, and always the protective big sister. Whether it was 'borrowing' each other’s clothes without asking, swapping makeup tips, or shaking things up in the best way, she’s the spark that’s kept life unpredictable and full of laughter.
Demetri Matta
Groomsman
AJ's first brother and oldest friend. He has the natural gift of being immediately good at any game of skill imaginable, while simultaneously being the funniest person in the entire group.
Julia Porter
Bridesmaid
Melissa’s little sister through the church’s big-little program. Their big-little relationship sparked a friendship that will last a lifetime time. The bride’s partner-in-crime, confidant, and the one person who can make her laugh until she cries (sometimes at the worst times.)
Thomas Matta
Groomsman
AJ's second brother and protégé. Ten years younger than AJ, he has followed in his brother's footsteps to pursue engineering and is making us all proud. It has been an honor watching him grow up.
Sarah Anchor
Bridesmaid
Melissa's close friend since college. The bridesmaid who’s basically been training for this moment through years of brunches and late-night heart-to-hearts. She’s truly irreplaceable.
Benjamin Hosmer
Groomsman
AJ's close friend since high school. From cookouts to late-night Scotch and cigars, he has become a trusted confidant and brother in faith.
Stephanie Rentz
Bridesmaid
The first friend Melissa made in college. She’s seen every failure and every success and has supported the bride the entire time. Her laugh is contagious, her loyalty unmatched, and her karaoke skills... well, they’re legendary
Caden Mullinax
Groomsman
Caden has been has been in AJ's life almost as long as Maddux has; he's basically a younger brother at this point.
Madison Brown
Bridesmaid
Melissa’s friend, college roommate, and unwavering supporter. From spontaneous adventures to heartfelt talks, she’s been by the bride’s side for a lot of important moments and now is no different.
Jacob Brown
Groomsman
AJ's friend since college, he is the link in the friend group that originally connected the Alabama and Florida friend groups.
