Bridget & Mark

Saturday, June 29, 2024 • Stafford, VA
Lee Burdette
Lee Burdette - Best Man
Lee is Mark's older, and only, brother. Lee and Mark grew up in Hinton, West Virginia with their two sisters Kris and Laura. Lee still lives in West Virginia and is now a Chiropractor. He is married to Amy Burdette, and they have one daughter, Madison who is 15-years old. It's been a while since Mark has gotten together with his brother due to the distance between them and their work schedules. So Mark is very excited to have his brother by his side on his wedding day!
Robbie Glaspell
Robbie Glaspell - Groomsman
Robbie is Mark’s brother-in-law. He and Mark’s sister Kris have been married for over 15 years and have one daughter together, Alex.
Jennifer Benedict
Jennifer Benedict - Maid of Honor
Jen is Bridget's older sister (and only sibling). She lives in Durham, NC with her cat Verity. Jen has a Master's Degree in Classical Studies from UVA, a Master's Degree in Divinity from Duke University, and a PhD in Theology from Duke University. Currently she is developing an online platform called Frog Policy- "a crowdsourced policy engine that allows people to come to a common understanding of what policies and practices best serve their own respective interests as well as the common good." Jen and Bridget used to dress up and play "wedding" as kids, so Bridget is very excited to have Jen stand by her side in the real thing!
Ashley Harrington
Ashley Harrington - Matron of Honor
Ashley is Bridget's close friend and former co-worker. They met in Virginia Beach in 2007 while both working for Style Events, a wedding and event planning company. They quickly bonded and have remained close ever since, despite several moves and life changes. Ashley is married to Jake Harrington, who is in the Coast Guard, so they've had the joy of moving across the country several times. Thankfully Ashley & Jake were re-located back to VA in 2016 and have lived in Woodbridge ever since. They have a 3-year old son Carter and a sweet kitty named Sophie. Ashley currently works as the Conference Manager for the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. Bridget was thrilled to attend Ashley & Jake's wedding in Seattle in 2016 and can't wait to have Ashley with her at her own wedding!
Willa Walsh
Willa Walsh - Flower Girl
Mark’s niece Willa is the daughter of Todd and Laura (Burdette) Walsh. Laura is Mark’s older sister, the 3rd of the 4 Burdette siblings. Willa is seven years old and is very excited to be part of Uncle Mark’s big day!
Carter Harrington
Carter Harrington - Ring Bearer
Carter is the son of Ashley (Matron of Honor) and Jake Harrington. He will be turning 4 this August and can’t wait to walk the rings down the aisle to Bridget and Mark!
