Q + A

Registry

Fellow quitter of the UNCW Swim and Dive team. Full time influencer by day and night. When she's not influencing, you can find her posting on Strava, eating a Chipotle kids meal, or telling her dog how perfect she is.

Reece Alexander

Proud founder and member of the cozy cone. He brings vast amounts of experience and knowledge in the marriage department, as he has been married to his lovely wife Piper for many years (8 months). He has had the privilege of witnessing Taylor purchase his last seven cars. That may sound like a lot, but it isn't saying much for those who know Taylor. Jaden is looking forward to the day that he is neighbors with Taylor and Tatum with a connecting pool that they will share. (P.S. please don't judge his best man speech too harshly, it's his first time and he's nervous)

Jaden Cross

The baby bridesmaid. Fully embraces her "youngest child" privileges of the friend group. Shopaholic and lives in a constant state of denial that she shouldn't eat gluten. Always down for a spontaneous side quest, but only if it's before 10pm because this princess needs her beauty sleep!

Mikenzie Mclean

Taylor’s favorite brother because he’s the only one Taylor asked to be in his wedding

Stephen Scheibner

"Mom" of the bridesmaids. Avid Disney adult and professional Young Life leader. Don't have a Google Calendar? Ellie will make you one, she plans everything like her life depends on it. She doesn't pride herself on her dance moves but will still bring all the energy she's got to the dance floor.

Ellie Leonard

Proud son of Jeff and Robin Rutledge, and the only chance of continuing the Rutledge family line. For fun, Will likes to tell people he is "getting back into running," and playing frat parties with his college cover band. If he could only eat one meal for the rest of his life, he would choose the ACP from Mi Cancun in Morrisville, NC (with a side of Chorizo dip).

Will Rutledge

Fellow ginger. Insurance guru by day and pickleball addict by night. Loses everything that doesn't have an AirTag on it, but also loses AirTags. Loves a new hobby, whether it's a new sport, half marathon training, or starting a non-profit somewhere, she's got it all going on.

Danielle Cooper

There are a few things everyone should know about Cade:
1. He can and he will be on the dance floor ALL night long. 
2. He may have shared a bed with Taylor for two whole years. The details? Classified. 
3. He and Tate have perfected the fine art of cracking open a couple of brewskis while soaking in the hot tub—because honestly, who says you can’t mix bubbles with barley?

It’s Cade's pleasure to spend the evening with all you fine folks, and as always, Mondo Kudo Pungo. 

Cade Tischer

Lexington Barbie. Can be described as Tatum's friend who will ALWAYS match the energy. Whether she's on the dance floor or cracking jokes with a hint of twang in her voice, she's taken it upon herself to keep the good times rolling all night long!

Staley Temple

A young scholar at Palm Beach Atlantic University who is a soccer fanatic and believes the beautiful game is best enjoyed with friends and family. He once had the great honor of sharing a room with Tate and is one of the only people alive to tell about it. He loves to have a good time and has recently become a professional music listener.

Cole Castellanos

Known as "the knower of all things." Got a question about pop culture? She knows. Got a question about someone's current relationship status? She knows. LB knows all the tea and still remains wildly unproblematic. She's another bridesmaid who can't function without her beauty sleep, so look for LB in her bed if the sun is down.

Lily Blair Norris

They call me big daddy, but I’ll keep this bio short and sweet.

Davis Castellanos

Travel

We met as interns at a Young Life camp called Carolina Point! The Lord really surprised us with an unpredicted romance at the very end of the summer, and we could not be more grateful! We went on our first date two days after we got home from interning, and the rest is history! You know what they say... find your wife at Young Life ;) Taylor is working full-time in Cary as an electrician, and Tatum is finishing up her time as a student at UNCW in the spring of 2025.
