OUR PEOPLE
The Wedding Party
Get to know a little about the people helping make our wedding (and our lives) so special.
BEST MAN
Ryan Stephan
John's little brother. He's been there (almost) since the very beginning. Really, who else could it have been?!
Ryan lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
MAID OF HONOR
Marleigh Brazukas
Taylor's little sister, who keeps her young (and also makes her feel very old). Look out for Marleigh on the dance floor - she's dangerously talented.
Marleigh is in school at Coastal Carolina University.
GROOMSMAN
Christian Longood
A good friend since the beginning of college, Christian is the only groomsman from John's college days that he didn't share a room with at some point. Definitely for the better.
Christian lives in Richmond, just down the street.
MAID OF HONOR
Eliza Hineline
Often mistaken for her sister (or evil twin), Eliza and Taylor became attached at the hip in Kindergarten. They kept a 22+ year friendship via flip phones, and eventually reunited at the same high school.
Eliza lives in Denver, Colorado.
GROOMSMAN
Marco Weil
Another friend for life from college, Marco has seen John at his lowest, and is still sticking around for some reason.
Marco lives in Richmond, also just down the street.
BRIDESMAID
Meriwether Bryant
Taylor's bestie from high school (and arguably preschool), Meriwether loves Richmond just as much as Taylor, if not more.
Meriwether lives in Richmond, just across the Boulevard.
GROOMSMAN
Caleb Partain
Caleb is one of John’s oldest friends. Comrades on the field of battle since childhood, John hung up the nerf guns for good. Caleb traded his in for bigger ones.
Caleb is stationed with the Air Force in Okinawa, Japan.
BRIDESMAID
Lauren Maze
Taylor and Lauren saw each other through some very awkward phases in middle school, which created a strong foundation for a lifelong friendship.
Lauren lives in Oklahoma City.
GROOMSMAN
Grey Haneberg
John's last (and most handsome) roommate from college, Grey decided to trade states with him after undergrad.
Grey lives in Gainesville, Florida.
BRIDESMAID
Katherine Bowles
Taylor's roommate through college. Katherine knows Taylor's sleep habits like the back of her hand. (Look out for Katherine on the dance floor, too).
Katherine lives in Washington, D.C.
GROOMSMAN
Grayson Cox
Taylor's good friend since the beginning of college. He still can't decide whose side of the wedding he is on.
Grayson lives in New York City.
BRIDESMAID
Lori Duffy
Before becoming an accomplished Doctor at VCU, Lori was Taylor and Katherine's roommate through college, and Tri Delta sorority sister!
Lori Lives in Richmond, across town.
