James & Elizabeth
Wedding Party
Kelsey Burnam
Maid of Honor
Kelsey and Liz are Big and Little in their sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta. Liz never had a sister, so having Kelsey as her little was the best thing to happen to her. It was truly fate and they will always thank Leslie for matching them together. Kelsey lives in Macon, but the two of them always pick up where they left off when they get the chance to see each other! Kelsey will always be Liz's dietitian, while Liz will always be Kelsey's personal counselor. Liz cannot imagine anyone else being by her side as MOH.
Courtney Chrzanowski
Bridesmaid
Courtney and Liz have known each other since their awkward middle school EDGE days at church. They have been through Creekland, Collins Hill, and UGA together with lots of CHWC memories and mission trips, some being shoddy at best. They also joined the same sorority at UGA and are sisters! Courtney is adventurous, determined, and incredibly hardworking. Liz cannot imagine her wedding day without Courtney!
Monica Farzad
Bridesmaid
Monica and Liz are also sorority sisters from UGA. There never seemed to be a defined moment of when they became friends, all of a sudden the other was around and that was that. She understands Liz's love of beer, and was even there for James and Liz's first brewery date to Terrapin! Monica is hilarious, incredibly loyal, makes the best playlists, and has the best dance moves. Check her out at the reception!
Megan Murphree
Bridesmaid
Megan rounds out the crew of Alpha Gamma Delta sisters. Even though Liz and Megan went to the same high school, it was not until Bid Night when they became friends. Megan was Liz's rose buddy on the first night of sisterhood. Megan is incredibly smart and always down for a road trip, even if it's in the middle of a tailgate! Even though she lives in England now, there is no way Megan would not be here for this day!
Christopher Smith
Best Man
It was an obvious choice for James to choose Chris as his best man. Well, let's be honest, most people know them as Scoop and Chunk respectively. As each other's first best friend and only brother, the two have been through everything together. Scoop was honored to stand by Chunk on his big day and could not imagine his big day without Chunk doing the same. Chunk is driven, witty, and always supportive. We are honored to have not only him, but his son (!!) be there on our special day.
Dustin Callahan
Groomsman
Dustin, most commonly referred to by us as Bam, is one of the funniest people you will ever meet. James and Bam started working together at North Greenville Fitness together several years ago. From being on the road together and eventually living together, the two became incredibly close. Bam is incredibly intelligent, quiet at first, but truly the life of the party. James and Liz are so excited that he will be sharing their special day with them.
John Topoleski
Groomsman
James and John bonded immediately over their love of baseball. John always made James feel like part of the family and James is so excited to not only add one, but two brothers to the family. They even enjoy ganging up on Nick during rounds of golf every once in a while. Even though John lives in Tennessee, Liz and James made efforts over the years to visit John and watch him play at Tusculum University. We can't wait to have John stand by our side on our wedding day and for years to come.
Nicholas Topoleski
Groomsman
It seems like it was just yesterday that James met Nick for the first time. Nick was only a freshman in high school and it was determined that he needed a babysitter with our parents out of town. James decided to take him to Golden Corral, and that sealed the deal for Nick. James was a keeper. Over the years we have gotten to watch Nick mature into the incredible young man he is. James and Liz are so excited to have him stand by our side on May 2nd!
