WEDDING PARTY

RACHEL KING - MAID OF HONOR

Some of my earliest memories in life were stealing Lindsay's belongings so I could be as much like her as possible. In the years that have followed, not much has changed. Lindsay is my best friend and role model, there are very few days in our lives when we haven't talked at least once.

SARAH KATHERINE GARDNER-MAINES

Elena and I met 5 years ago, and have had lunch with each other nearly every day since. Elena and I bonded over our love for craft projects, and the desire to make sure everything is done as efficiently as possible. I admire Elena's bravery and willingness to try new things - like teaching herself how to sew, and learning to code. 

RACHEL COMBS

When Mary joined my team, I was intimidated by her experience . However, I quickly learned that Mary is someone who can play to many sides of her personality—she mixes hardcore training with being a yoga instructor, and has weekends that combine fly fishing and high fashion. She's also one of the most loyal people you'll ever meet, and will do just about anything for her friends.

JEAN PIERRE CAJINA - BEST MAN

I met Jean while working for a state-contracted call center when I was fresh out of college at 21 years old. Jean has been the life of the party since the day he was born. He lights up every room he walks into and is so full of joy and zest for life! He is always trying to drag me out of the house for a fun night out.

TRISTON

I met Triston when I was 18 years old just as I had gotten to Morehead State University. We both joined the local LGBTQ* student group and became immediate friends. We've stuck together through a lot of drama within our friend group and always love spilling the tea on the latest hot goss.

ELI

I met Eli during the pandemic when I was locked in the house and looking for support during my initial transition. I joined an online facebook support group for trans masculine people and we've been friends ever since. Eli and I share a birthday! He may live far far away in a better place (New York), but I have always been able to lean on him when times were tough. He is also just as great a baker as he is a friend.

Alex

I also met Alex during the pandemic when I was locked in the house and looking for support during my initial transition. I joined an online facebook support group for trans masculine people and we've been friends ever since. He may live far far away in a better place (New York), but I have always enjoyed our conversations and lamentations. 

MISSY BROWNSON ROSS - OFFICIANT 

We really can't imagine anyone but Missy officiating - we admire her kindness, patience, and devotion to equal rights. 

MARIE COMBS - RING BEARER

Marie is one of Killian's nieces. She is full of glamor and sass. She can't be contained and she will not be stopped. Okay!

LILLY COMBS - FLOWER GIRL

Lilly is one of Killian's nieces. She is on the spectrum so she may be non-verbal, but she is always wearing a smile and is sweet to every stranger she meets.
