Wedding Party

Ashton Morrow Kang

Matron of Honor

Ashton is the Bride's older sister. She is too smart for her own good and keeps things interesting. Ashton loves to travel and is the reason that Audra has been able to visit five of the seven continents (Ashton has visited 6). Ashton lives with her husband Victor and two dogs, Bear and Allie in Atlanta, Georgia. We can all look forward to the reception, when she will try to top the Maid of Honor speech that Audra gave at her wedding.


Jeffrey Joseph Alleman

Best Man

Jeff is one of the Groom's best friends and always teaches Reade on how to "make the monies". Reade has since bought multiple rental properties and hopes to retire early like Jeff. Since Reade first moved to Asheville they have always been up to something, mainly avoiding having to actually work. With his semi-retirement availability, Jeff continues to play many musical instruments. Reade always shows up to hear his bands play, even when at times the lead singing has been questionable.

Rachel Faye Tegarden

Bridesmaid

Rachel is one of the Bride's best friends and the most level-headed person in Audra's life. She packed Audra's lunch every day when they lived together in D.C. because Audra taught Kindergarten and didn’t have much of a lunch break. Rachel and Audra share a love for binge watching tv shows that were originally created for teenage girls. They once spent three consecutive days on the couch watching Christmas movies, only getting up to answer the door for delivery drivers.


Brad Douglas Aiken

Groomsman

Brad is one of the Groom's best friends and shares a passion for their work in IT. He is just about the most loyal guy you could meet and is easily Audra's favorite of Reade's friends (don't tell the others). Brad is a fantastic photographer and a true nerd at heart. He can be found road tripping with his amazing wife Annie, or hiking to the most remote parts of the mountains (while Reade struggles to keep up). Brad is always up for an adventure!

Alex McShane Michaluk

Bridesmaid

Alex is the Bride's other best friend and soulmate. The two met during freshman year of college and have been inseparable ever since. Alex lived with Audra for the majority of college and they have been brutally honest with one another from the start. If you see them together, they'll probably be calling each other out for being messy or taking too many mirror selfies at the gym but don't worry, there is so much love.


Ahmet Aksoy

Groomsman

Ahmet is one of the Groom's best friends and fraternity brothers from college. He taught Reade how to wear a bow tie (although always wearing one is questionable) and has always inspired him to be a better person. Ahmet is a career student pursuing his Ph.D. in Media & Communication at Texas Tech, having received his Masters from New Castle and his Bachelors from East Carolina. He has been invited to present at numerous conferences, published in journals, and received multiple awards and honors- You get the picture, I fell asleep a few minutes ago writing this. He always looks out for his friends and is always up for a challenge.

Baylee Elizabeth Sparks

Bridesmaid

Baylee is the Bride's cousin and one of her favorite people in the world. At only 16 years old, she is easily the most easy-going member of the Sparks family. Baylee's nickname is "grace" in the most ironic way possible. Fingers crossed, she won't trip going down the aisle. Audra cannot imagine a world without Baylee's laugh in it and is beyond thankful that she will be a part of the wedding day.


Rob Alan Speaks

Groomsman

Rob is one of the Groom's best friends. The two met as Groomsman for Spencer's wedding 4 years ago. Rob and Reade share a love of fine beverages, all things Apple, and jokes that don't seem to be funny to anyone else. Rob welcomes Reade and Audra into his home every time they are driving through Greensboro, even though Reade never gives them more than thirty minutes notice. Rob specializes in all things Sherwin Willams, and no career change will ever keep Reade from calling him to ask for advice.

Addison Danielle Sparks

Junior Bridesmaid

Addison is the Bride's youngest cousin and the true "baby" of the family. When Ashton and Audra were little, they established the "Cool Cats Club" along with their cousins Blaine and Colin but the truth is that the club was never complete until Addison was born. She makes us all laugh until it hurts and we hope that she will stay young forever.


Bradley Jason Arrowood

Groomsman

This Brad is also one of the Groom's best friends, and the most recent to get married. For that wedding, Brad had the crazy idea to ask Reade to officiate it. One online form and a $39.99 kit later, Reade became ordained. Their wedding went off without a hitch, except for that small moment when Reade dropped the ring. Brad has a strong worth ethic and always puts in 150%. When he's not working in Asheville he can be found mowing lawns, playing video games, or at the gun range.

Shiva Marie Walker

Dog of Honor

Weighing in at a little over 4.8 lbs, Shiva is this couple's best friend. She won't be attending the wedding, but we just put this here so you wouldn't notice that this page wasn't even. If Shiva could come, there wouldn't be a crumb on the ground because like using a hoover vaccuum, the floor would be spotless. This girl's metabolism and cuddles are off the charts!


Spencer Paul Stevens

The Only Friend We Trusted With A Speaking Part

Spencer is one of the Groom's best friends and fraternity brothers from college. He is an experienced financial, investment, and insurance professional. Reade encouraged Spencer and his wife moved to Asheville because of opportunities, and now, he is following his passion for the beer industry, working as overqualified beer delivery driver for Ginger's Revenge brewing. Spencer is probably Reade’s most responsible friend so, we've asked him to lead the wine ceremony during our special day.
