Wedding Party

Kieula Nguyen

Maid of Honor

I met "Qla" in the fifth grade at Teasley Elementary School. We immediately clicked, granted neither of us were very popular. After many sleepovers, Taylor Swift sing-alongs, and miles of mall walking our friendship was set in stone. We stayed friends throughout middle school till Q moved in the 8th grade. We kept up with each other during high school and college, but once Zack and I set Q and Caleb (groomsman) up together they immediately became our best couple friends. We've now been friends for 12 years, more than half our lives!

Joseph Smith

Best Man

I met joe at the ripe age of two and a half and its fair to say we hit it off. He is my best man, oldest friend, and the most supportive brother in the world. He’s a passionate kid that is growing into a strong young man faster than I will ever be ready for, and I’m so excited to see where life takes him. There are few people that will carry an entire washing machine by himself for three flights of stairs, but Joe is that guy. Throughout the years, we’ve shared music, soccer, and video games together, because Joe is the definition of “let me show you this,” as he shares with you some piece of art or media that’s incredibly important to him and it’s always an honor to know that he wants you to be a part of it with him. I love him so much.

Elizabeth Hamilton

Bridesmaid

My personal built-in-bridesmaid! My parents decided on this role in 1998 when I officially became Liz's baby sister. Like any sister duo, we went through our ups and downs, my favorite story is that we had to buy two copies of every J-14 magazine in the early 2000s because there was NO WAY I could even touch Liz's copy. But, of course, 20 minutes later we would be laughing playing Just Dance in the basement. Now that we're older Liz is a great big sister, from helping me move to making our wedding cake. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to be my big sister.

Caleb Thome

Groomsman

I don’t remember exactly when I met Caleb, because there’s just such a big difference between when you meet Cae and when you know Cae. He’s got this ability to get really excited and care about something that does not matter in the slightest, but when you really get close to Cae, for reason you now really care about it too! I’ve played on stage with him, I’ve played sports with him, and I’ve gone on trips with him, but those are all tertiary to the fact that things that happen around Cae are just funnier and unexplainable. Those laughs that couldn’t have been with anyone else are what make that friendship truly special.

Lizbeth Rangel

Bridesmaid

My first week out of the house, at only 18 years old, Liz and I became roommates at an apartment in downtown ATL by GSU. We were both recruited by two separate roommates, never having met or even knowing each other's names. Those roommates were not-so-great, but Liz and I were instant friends. Two months later Liz and I got our own apartment in Buckhead, ATL. Our little apartment was always filled with talking and laughter, along with Tesla (our cat) living together was literally perfect. Liz is exactly what you hope for when you get a random roommate, a life long friend that will also take a cross country 10-day camping trip with you! P.S. We can thank Liz for BOTH mine and Zack's 21st Birthday signs!!

William Hamilton

Groomsman

When I asked Hannah to marry me, Will responded, “Welcome to the family,” and I cannot think of a better way to summarize Will. In my time with him, he has made me feel like a welcomed part of Hamiltons, free to joke about the family and his princess of a twin sister. He’s the kind of guy to offer you a cup of coffee that he made in your coffee maker because you woke up late. He’ll complain about having to be up early for work tomorrow but will never shy away from staying up to laugh about politics late into the night before. He’s a great brother in-law and an even better friend.

Macheala Hamilton

Bridesmaid

You know that one kid that you never want to grow up? That's Macheala for me, I held her as a newborn and spent many nights talking about life with my favorite kid. But, one day you look up and that kid is a beautiful teenager that you love even more. My little baby cousin is now my wonderful, smart, kind friend who I'm so happy I get to spend this special day with. She may not share a trundle bed with me anymore, but she'll always be my baby cousin.

Alberto Jasso

Groomsman

I met Bert when we were still learning to play on full sized soccer fields. He’s still the same height, but I’ve watched him personally grow unbelievably in the decade we’ve been together. He’s the kind of guy to be the only one that visits the hospital when you break your face, but to have the smallest signature on the “Get Well” card. Its not about the credit for him, its just the time spent together, and when you live together for a year, you get a lot of that. He’s a professional hype man when you need it, but more importantly, he’s kept me grounded and reminded me that you have to attend 9AM classes at least some of the time.

Julia Frank

Bridesmaid

They say a penny saved is a penny earned... well then a few pennies saved led to a great friend being earned. Julia and I met doing one of our favorite things- thrifting. Julia was selling the PERFECT matching pitcher to my vintage Corningware dining set, and I had to have it. After some negotiations, Julia and I followed each other on IG and became vintage goods penpals. Between our two-year friendship, there have been thousands of texts, hundreds of pictures back and forth, and a few packages sent cross country. I always wanted a pen pal as a kid, and Julia has become one of my best friends and the world's best pen pal.

Jorge Gomez-Sanchez

Groomsman

Jorge and I met a really long time ago on a bus, the first week of middle school, and underneath two older kids that were squishing us for fun. I didn’t know it at the time, but when we laughed and shook hands, faces smushed against a bus seat, I’d signed myself up for a lifetime of laughs and arguments. Be it leading a congregation of friends and family in worship or ferociously debated the differences between the 38th and 39th best footballers at 2:00AM on a Thursday, Jorge is your guy. He cares (sometimes way too much) about everything he does, and that’s exactly what makes him the dream friend.

Lucy Li

Jr. Bridesmaid

Anyone who says they were more excited to hear about Zack and my engagement than Lucy is 100% lying. I met this wonderful kid when she was 5 years old, and I was 18. Second to Zack, Lucy is my biggest supporter. For about 3 years every time I saw Lucy she would ask " sooooo.... Are you engaged yet?". Somewhere in all these years she asked if she could be a flower girl in my wedding to Zack one day, I told her she would be too old by then and would have to be a Jr. Bridesmaid instead. I then heard about how "Lucy is going to be in Hannah's wedding!" from all the girls in Lucy's neighborhood within days P.S. Lucy was the first one I called after Zack and I got engaged.

Matthew Troutman

Groomsman

I don’t remember when I met Matt for the first time but every time, I’ve seen him since it’s like we’re the same idiots cackling in Physics. I never thought talking spirituality with a man in cowboy boots would be one of my favorite pass times, but here we are! Matt’s got a freedom to him that inspires me to adventure and try new things and in turn, he’ll always have a place to stay with me and some good drinks whenever he’s passing through town. Whether it’s the most off-color humor I can think of or anything I’ve even needed to get off my chest, there’s nobody in my life like Matt.
