Wedding Party
Mads
Maid of Honor
Madeline and Lily have been friends for 6 years. We met in a Starbucks parking lot at 4 am on Madeline’s first day working at the Mabry Village store. The current manager who was intended to have the keys to open the store was late. We ended up standing in the parking lot chatting for an hour and we’ve been inseparable ever since. We both eventually became shift supervisors while working together at the Mabry store and were each other’s biggest supports during the experience. Madeline is currently an EMT for Grady Hospital System.
Nick
Best Man
Nick and Will have been friends since back in 2008. We met in the 5th grade when we were assigned the same teacher; our jokes and shenanigans have stayed relatively the same ever since. We both have a love for B-grade movies and any kind of terrible or ridiculous cinema, spending nights in the discount movie bins looking for hidden gems. Nick was also there to meet Lily when she and I went on our very first date, and now he’ll be by my side on my wedding day.
Jared
Bridesmaid
Jared and Lily met working together at the Mabry Village Starbucks location. Jared’s laughter is infectious and we quickly became friends after celebrating together at our work Christmas party. We have been friends for 5 years and I couldn’t imagine my life without Jared. Jared is vibrant and fiercely protective of the people he loves. Jared works as a hair color specialist at a salon in Atlanta, and his work is incredible.
David
Groomsman
David and Will met while playing at church in 2016 and have been friends ever since. There will never be a guitar duo quite like us, spending our early years practicing together for gigs and trying to come up with the craziest and “tasteful” guitar parts. David is incredibly talented, humble, and he has an infectious kindness.
Mallory
Bridesmaid
Mallory & Lily have been friends for 11 years. We met as awkward teenagers going on a mission trip to Canada. We had the time of our lives on that trip goofing around and being kids. While we live in separate states, we’ve always kept in touch. My favorite memory with Mallory was taking her to a dance club called Electric Cowboys and dancing the night away. Mallory is charismatic and calls it how she sees it always. Mallory is also a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan and we still love her anyways.
Trevor
Groomsman
Trevor and Will met in 2009 on a bus ride home from a retreat. Trevor is one of the funniest people I knew and he will always lighten your day. One of my favorite memories is going to LA for a school trip together; winning a stuffed walrus at the Pier and placing him in every picture taken from there on. There is never a dull moment with Trevor.
Haley
Bridesmaid
Sweet Haley came into our lives 2 years ago when she started dating Will’s brother, Parker. Parker and Haley became engaged in October of 2023. We could not have dreamed of a better addition to our family and were so thankful we get to keep her forever! Haley is funny and sassy. There’s truly never a dull moment when she’s around. Haley and Lily have become close friends bonding over trips to the bookstore, family dinners, and spending weekends together. Haley recently graduated from GCU with her degree in Communications, we’re so proud of her!
Parker
Groomsman
Parker is Will’s younger brother and friend throughout the years. We would spend our early days playing video games and trying to beat the hardest games. We share a love of movies and music and thrive off creativity. Parker will have you laughing and make you feel like every conversation is meaningful and personable to you. I am excited to have him in my wedding.
Mary Grace
Bridesmaid
Mary Grace came into my life 4 years ago when she worked with Will at his Starbucks location, Lake Point Emerson. Mary Grace’s kindness and fun-loving personality instantly put you at ease. She’s become a trusted friend of both Will & Lily. We’ve celebrated many birthdays, themed parties, and concerts together. I’m forever thankful Starbucks brought me so many treasured friendships, especially with people that make the best chocolate chip cookies in the world. Mary Grace currently works for Home Depot Corporate.
Avery
Groomsman
Will and Avery met in 2018 as he was Lily’s coworker at Starbucks. We bonded over coffee and vinyl and have been friends ever since. Avery is incredibly kind and reliable, whenever you need a friend he will be there for you. Avery runs audio, plays guitar, and has a love for jam bands; he may even take you to a concert or two.
