Kendrick Rudolph - Best Man
Hello, I'm Kendrick! Josh and I met sophomore year of high school. He was the new basketball player transfering from our local rival. We had never spoken a word to each other before and I hated him simply because I knew he was competition. However, after our first session of jock locker room talk I knew he was my long lost brother. We've been the dynamic duo ever since. In college if you saw Josh you knew I was just around the corner. We live over 200 miles away from each other now, and when I see people they still ask, "Is Josh here too?" Blood couldn't make us any closer... NNSB for life.
Cristal Miranda - Maid of Honor
Hi, I'm Cristal! I met Chelsea at a mandatory Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Scholarship event in 2010. WHOOP! We were both recipients and attending the same school! We struck up a conversation and realized we had a lot in common. Our friendship has grown more and more as the years have passed. We are "Fightin Texas Aggie Grads 2014".
Arieal Jones - Bridesmaid
Hello, I'm Arieal! Chelsea and I met in 7th grade at Timberwood Middle School. Yes, that's right, we have been friends the longest, lol. She befriended me as the new girl and made me feel like I fit in. Through choir, track, student council and all of our adventures, I've had a true friend. Rival schools, distance and time hasn't and won't separate us!
Evan Monroe - Groomsman
Hi, I'm Evan! JT and I met junior year as UTSA Business students and instantly became cool when we realized we have the same birthday and my middle name is Taylor. More than half of my college stories now start with "JT and I", and to this day there are still people who refer to us as "The Twins". He's definitely my twin brother for life.
Katie Smith - Bridesmaid
Hey, I'm Katie! Chelsea and I became fast friends through AHS Student Council. We bonded over our love of Harry Potter and teasing Mrs. Booth in Calculus class. As we grew older and our locations changed, we never passed up an opportunity to make memories. She's a bright sun on a cloudy day, my mood is instantly lifted after speaking with her. I'm thankful and excited to continue this journey called life with Chelsea by my side!!
Jackie Christian - Groomsman
Hey, I'm Jackie! I met Joshua Taylor in high school, our bond grew stronger in an Economics class in which we insisted the teacher shared a striking resemblance to Velma from Scooby Doo (shoutout Mrs. Duez). We became better friends after he and our other best friend Kendrick, were roommates in college. He moved back to Houston from college, and we have been there for each other for the good, bad and ugly since. Josh is one of the most genuine, kind and fun people I have ever been around.
Caitlan Lee - Bridesmaid
Hi, I'm Caitlan! My boyfriend, Garrett and Chelsea's fiance, Josh are best friends! We clicked instantly from the moment we met, she can brighten up a room with her laughter. Sometimes we just look at each other and laugh because we know what each of us is thinking. We have our own language that no one else understands, it's our little thing! She is that caring friend who texts me "good morning, how are you today". She is such an awesome bestie!!
Christopher Woodard - Groomsman
What's up, I'm Chris! Josh and I met through Chelsea in high school. We both attended UTSA too! Though I transferred after my first year, Josh and I remained close friends. Chelsea is my cousin and more than that, she is the sister I never had. With that being said, I wouldn't want anyone else to marry my closest cousin. Josh, you know you still have to make a trip to Cleveland before February 17, 2018!!!
Darryl Williams - Groomsman
Hello, I'm Darryl, Josh is my big brother, so I've known him for 20+ years. We are brothers from the same mother! He has always been an inspiration and role model for the kids. He is one of the coolest brothers alive!! Hopefully, after the wedding and Chelsea is officially my sister-in-law, she will make those awesome brownies more often!!
Isra Naseer - Bridesmaid
Hi, I'm Isra! Chelsea and I went to Grad School together at U of H, Clear Lake. I liked her so much that I managed to get us in the same classes every semester and on the same group projects together. Those two years of my life wouldn't have been half as enjoyable without her!
Xavier Wyatt - Groomsman
Hey, I'm Xavier! Josh and I have been kicking ass and taking names since September of 1992. We are the best of friends and also family. We may be cousins but he has always been a brother to me!!
Kaitlin Jackson - Bridesmaid
Hi, I'm Kaitlin, the junior bridesmaid!! I have known Chelsea all of my life! She is my cousin and also my friend, mentor, tutor and confidante. Oh, she was also my babysitter! Yes, she is all that and I love her very much. I am so honored that she chose me to be in her wedding!!

Did you see the awesome Gingerbread houses that we made together? If not, check out my Facebook page. Oh wait, I don't have a Facebook page but Chelsea does!

Mason Brown - Ring Bearer
Hi, I'm Mason and I am five years old. Josh is going to be my uncle, I'm so excited! I'm told that I would be carrying the ring on a pillow to Josh, I thought I was going to put the ring on my Aunt Chelsea's finger! That's okay, at least I get to wear a tuxedo. What's a tuxedo, I'm only F-I-V-E!!
