Our Wedding

The Jameses moved into their new house in 2011, and there were two little girls, Natalie and Olivia, Mary's age, next door. They became friends, and then one day, their cousin, Jake, came to visit for the summer. The four of them became fast friends who quickly saw that Mary and Jake "liked" each other. Whenever asked about it, though, both would say, "Ew! No! Cooties! Gross!" Years later, in 2019, Mary and Jake reconnected when he moved up to Rock Hill full-time, and not just for the summers. Both were quick to realize that their childhood crushes were still fresh, and they started dating. After many years of long-distance dating while Mary was in college, Jake proposed a year after Mary graduated.

Rosie

Rosie and Mary are sisters and have had a complex and evolving friendship over the years. When Mary was a baby, Rosie loved playing mom to Mary and taking care of her. As they got older, they butted heads but continued to be friends in a way that only sisters can. Rosie has always supported Mary and sacrificed for her; Rosie tried to give her Christmas wish to Mary when she was a newborn, spent all of her savings on a Christmas gift for Mary when they were little, and always bought lunch for Mary when they were in high school. When Rosie moved out for college and the two no longer had to share a bathroom, they went from just sisters to friends as well. Rosie has continued to be a support and friend to Mary, providing the type of shelter and safety that only a big sister could provide.

Rachel

When YPA opened in 2011, Rachel and Mary were both a part of the inaugural cohort of students. Carissa told a nervous Mary, You'll make friends, I promise! Don't be nervous. If you don't make any friends in the first 2 weeks, I'll buy you a pony! Then at school, A classmate stole all of Rachel's tickets to the prize box. Her mom saw Mary share her tickets with Rachel and contacted Carissa to set up a playdate for them. The rest was history. The pair has continued to share everything together, supporting each other when one is in need with a give-and-take that is truly special.

KayceMarie

Mary and Kayce have been friends as long as anyone can remember! Kayce was 6 months old when Mary came to the church nursery as a newborn. They grew up in the church family together, getting in trouble, sneaking snacks, and giggling during sermons together.  Kayce and Mary have had a close and unique bond of sisterhood their whole lives and have been there for every significant milestone in each other’s lives. Being Auntie to Kayce’s two daughters is a special joy in Mary’s life.

Josh

Josh has taught Jake so many things throughout their lives together as father and son. Josh helped Jake learn to love sports, food, and family above all else. Josh and Jake have had an evolving relationship over the years which today is a relationship of mutual respect and admiration as they have grown together as a pair.

Beau

Beau and Jake were classmates for years before they became brothers. Now they are good friends who share family and all the love that comes with the territory.

Chris

Chris and Jake are the ultimate car friends, sharing their passion for automotive sports and innovation. Late nights at the dirt track, attending autocross events, gaming online, wrenching in the garage, car meets, and photoshoots: Chris and Jake show up for each other! Their friendship is anchored in respect and care.
