Wedding Party

Addison Toy
Addison Toy - Maid of Honor
Known as "Miss Addison" to my post-grad friends, Addison is my college best friend and roommate, sorority little sister, and prayer warrior! She is better than me at everything EXCEPT CLUE (because I win every time).
Faith O'Neill
Faith O'Neill - Matron of Honor
Known as "Best Friend Faith" (or BFF) to all my college friends, Faith is my best friend from high school, the main character in all my funniest memories, the reason I was a vegetarian for a hot second, and "my parents' favorite daughter".
Meg Coleman
Meg Coleman - Bridesmaid
You may know her as "Baby Meg" or "Sporty Spice" - she's my mini-me who is cooler than I'll ever be, the best part of my senior year at Samford, and has earned the title "Most Athletic Coleman" (sorry Conrad).
Sarah Kate McDermott
Sarah Kate McDermott - Bridesmaid
Don't be fooled by the new last name... SK is the best big sister anyone could ask for and I still want to be her when I grow up. Sorry I got engaged one month after you!
Catherine Eckerle
Catherine Eckerle - Bridesmaid
This angel of a human being took James & I to Keeneland AND drove all the way from Birmingham to Louisville to help me pick out a wedding dress... if that doesn't scream "friendship!", I don't know what does.
Shelby Tidwell
Shelby Tidwell - Bridesmaid
Not only is Shelby gorgeous AND a genius, she's also a one-of-a-kind friend who is loyal, gentle, and strong! If anyone needs an emergency eye exam during the wedding weekend, you know who to call.
Peyton Ward
Peyton Ward - Bridesmaid
Her reputation as "the girl who created her own language" precedes her... Peyton is hilarious and deep, compassionate and loyal, and will probably be the most entertaining dancer at our reception if I had to guess.
Mackenzie Grimes
Mackenzie Grimes - Bridesmaid
AKA Mabel! When I first met Mabel as her freshman small group leader, I knew we would be lifelong friends. She is witty and wise, fun and fabulous. She's a classy old soul who got stuck with the world's most enduring nickname.
Lizzie Willcox
Lizzie Willcox - Bridesmaid
I joke that Lizzie was the most consistent thing about college - we had a standing weekly lunch date for two years straight! She's a forever friend who loves Taylor Swift and "Mr. James"!
Neriah, Lily, & Selah Marsh
Neriah, Lily, & Selah Marsh - Flower Girls
These precious girls became family to me in college! Being in their home, learning from and praying with their amazing mom Mary Kathryn, and having lots of dance parties in their kitchen were some of the highlights of my senior year!
Cam Kelly
Cam Kelly - Best Man
Day 1
Hampton Skinner
Hampton Skinner - Groomsman
Sat next to each other at Samford Freshman Orientation. The rest was history.
Jordan Vaughn
Jordan Vaughn - Grommsman
Faithful, Loyal, HONEST. The best friend you can have.
Jonathan Hilbrecht
Jonathan Hilbrecht - Groomsman
Faithful, Encouraging, REAL. The REALest.
Jace Aponte
Jace Aponte - Groomsman
High school youth leader. Travel buddy. Faithful friend. Purveyor of the finer things.
Chesterton Schuchardt
Chesterton Schuchardt - Groomsman
Met in Memphis. The fullest human being I know. Definition of a LAD.
Henry Collett
Henry Collett - Groomsman
Kind, creative, everyone's number 1 fan, golden retriever. College ROOMY. Ask him about the Louisville Cardinals.
Ben Carter
Ben Carter - Groomsman
Kindred spirit. Real one. Younger than me but I look up to him.
Mattison Sullivan
Mattison Sullivan - Groomsman
Proud dad of Nellie Dawn. Someone you could talk with for hours and never want to leave. Fun. Creative. Talented. Kind.
Conrad Coleman
Conrad Coleman - Groomsman
Brother of the bride, famous for his killer jokes about how old James is, all-around stud of a human being. Hands-down the best of all the Colemans.
Chris Lawrence
Chris Lawrence - Officiant
Truly the GOAT. Has faithfully led us through premarital counseling, loves the Lord and his family, and is an amazing leader of Hardin College!
Ryan Cobb
Ryan Cobb - Officiant
The Cobb Father, our employer once upon a time, owner of the Cobb Cottage (aka James' summer 2023 home), husband to Rachel (who keeps beating us at Catan but it's ok because she also bakes excellent cookies).
