Wedding Party
Erin Windland
Maid of Honor
Of course, Megan would have her twin sister, Erin, as her Maid of Honor. Not only have they shared a womb, their birthday, and similar features, but they are each other's other half and best of friends. When the two are around each other there is constant laughter and smiles! No one understands Megan like Erin does. The day would be incomplete without her!
D'lonte Somuah
Best Man
D'lonte and Ford met at CNU during the spring semester of 2014. They were rushing the same fraternity and ended up having a lot in common with love of Philosophy, Music, and Art. During Ford's junior year of college (D'lonte's senior year) they decided on becoming roommates along with Alex and things haven't turned back. Now they both live in Richmond, VA and see each other almost every week. D'lonte is the most caring, kind-hearted, and genuine person anyone could meet and is the perfect Best Man.
Madison Brown
Matron of Honor
Megan's best friend of 19 years and counting.. Coming all the way from Muskoka, Canada! Madison is a loyal friend who loves with her whole heart. From the weekly Friday night sleepover, to cook-offs in Madison's family kitchen, to now standing by Megan on her special day. Madison has been there through it all!
Alex Goedeck
Groomsman
Ford and Alex met their freshman year of college at CNU. Alex and Ford bonded over love for sports, music, and both majored in Political Science. This led to many great discussions, good times, and great memories. Alex and Ford ended up living together two and a half years out of the four years in college; one year in the Greek House, one year in an on-campus apartment (with D'lonte), and half of senior year at an off-campus house.
Jessica Simpson
Bridesmaid
No she's not Jessica Simpson the artist... but she's BETTER! Jess is not only one of Megan's best friends but is also her little sister from the sorority they were a part of in college. Jess and Megan first met through mutual friends. From the first time they got lunch at Regattas, they knew they would be best friends..bonding over the different hair styles (and colors) they have had and over boy problems (lol).. It's been history since! Also, Jess is the "Master Matchmaker" who set Megan and Ford up... it all started with you!
Will Carmack
Groomsman
Ford and Will met when Will was born...haha. Will is Ford's younger brother and they couldn't have any different of personalities, however, it creates a balance in their relationship pushing each other to think and grow in different perspectives. Will is an extremely driven, caring, and creative individual who just wants to help the world see through a different lens (no pun intended) via his video/visual arts/special effects freelance work. He lives in Los Angeles, so they don't get to see each other much, but their friendship grows every year.
Jessica Shaw
Bridesmaid
Megan and Jess became friends during the Fall Semester of their Sophomore year of college at Christopher Newport University. The first time they hung out, they spent 6 hours just chatting getting to know each other in Jess's dorm at James River Hall. The next year, both girls lived in the new Alpha Phi sorority house and the following year they became roommates! If you're looking for the best wing-woman and fun time, Jess is your girl!
Ben Buhl
Groomsman
Ford met Ben his first semester freshman year at CNU during a party. Ben walked up to Ford (slightly inebriated) and said, "hey, you're cool, let me put my number in your phone and add you on snapchat". Granted, I'm not sure we had even had a conversation at this point. For the next few years his contact in my phone was 'Ben (party)' and I think that only changed a few years ago... Either way, Ben and Ford spent a lot of time during college having great life talks, playing ping pong at Ben's house, and occasionally taking naps in the same room. He's a sarcastic guy, but it's hard not to love him despite his rough (at first) exterior.
Emma Murphy
Bridesmaid
Megan and Emma became friends through mutual friends during their Sophomore year at Christopher Newport University. They joined the same sorority, both lived in the Alpha Phi mansion, and became roommates their Senior year at CNU. Megan and Emma share the same love for travel, compassion and empathy for people, and love for fashion! One goal after graduating was that the two were going to go to Yosemite National Park (which never happened...but there is still time! haha).
Colin Zehrer
Groomsman
Colin and Ford met in the fall semester of 2015 when Colin was rushing the same fraternity. Ford and Colin bonded over Soccer, Philosophy, and Art and still enjoy those today. During College they played intramural soccer together and now both live in Richmond, VA still playing on a rec. league soccer team together. Even though Colin has his own sense of time, he is still great to spend time with, and is a genuine person who wants to see the best for the world and will do what he can to bring that to the table.
Jenny Davidson
Bridesmaid
From high school, to CNU, to the adult world, Megan and Jenny have been besties through it all! Megan and Jenny started out as friends in high school--from Friday night football games, to getting ice cream at Zinga, and having hangouts in the Windland's basement. Senior year of HS the two found out they both were going to CNU for college! The two decided that they would room separately to generate a wider friend pool--however, they quickly realized they should have just lived together. Every year after that, Megan and Jenny were roommates -- from the old, raggedy Alpha Phi house on East Campus, to the new Aphi Mansion, to Rappahannock Hall.
Rico Francis
Groomsman
Rico and Ford met in the fall of 2014 at CNU. Rico ended up joining the same fraternity as Ford and wound up becoming Ford's 'Little Brother'. Rico wears his heart on his sleeve and will show how much he cares without any hesitancy. He's been there through the tough times and the great times and I can't be happier that we are still as close as we've ever been despite him living in Indiana now.
Maegan Crowder
Bridesmaid
Megan and Maegan became friends through Josh and Ford. Josh is Ford's big brother from their Fraternity. The two were introduced once Josh and Maegan started dating back in January 2018. Over the past 3 and a half years of friendship, Megan and Maegan have bonded over not only have the same name (haha!) but the same love for Fall, occasional Bath & Body Works candle (& wall flower) shopping sprees, love for Cava (especially Crazy Feta), and so much more!
Josh Voelkel
Groomsman
Josh and Ford met during Ford's first semester of college and ended up being a major reason why Ford joined Greek Life. The two bonded over similar interests in lacrosse, political science, and love for summer hits of the 90's music. Josh ended up becoming Ford's 'Big Brother' in the fraternity and they've been close ever since. Now Josh and his Fiancee, Maegan, live in Richmond, VA and they still get to see each other very often. Josh is a genuine and kind-hearted guy, who will always be there when you need him.
Peyton Stites
Bridesmaid
Peyton and Megan met during Welcome Week at CNU during Peyton's freshman year (and Megan's junior year). The two instantly clicked from Day 1! One of Megan's favorite memories with Peyton goes back to January 2017, when Peyton joined Alpha Phi and ran home to Megan on Bid Day-- so sweet! The two share the same love for fashion & makeup, traveling, and taking pictures (ha!). Megan moved to Richmond, VA after graduation and it was nice since Peyton is from Richmond, VA so they got to still see each other often.
Ryan Bennett
Groomsman
Ryan and Ford met their freshman year of college while rushing the same fraternity in the spring semester of 2014. They bonded over love for video games and intellectual conversations. Ryan is someone who is loyal to a fault for those who he cares about and he only wants to provide happiness to those around him. His rap game is no joke and he isn't either, what a guy.
Cici Fortson
Bridesmaid
Cici and Megan met in Richmond, VA at both of their first professional jobs in the workforce. The two instantly became co-worker BFFs (it was the only way to make that job bearable--lol!) Megan was so sad once Cici had moved onto a new job, but the two have still stayed super close! With living only a block away from each other, the two like to go for occasional weekend walks together and have wine nights on Cici's porch. Megan and Cici also share the same love for CATS as they both have 2 kitties of their own.
Jack Matteo
Groomsman
Ford met Jack through mutual friends (Ben and Josh) during college because he lived with them all four years. Jack and Ford bonded over the love of lacrosse, hockey (Go Caps), and Blink-182. The two have been through a lot and have shown that they're loyal friends and they've only gotten closer with time.
