Jessica Eldridge
Matron of Honor
As Anne's older sister, Jessica has had the honor and privilege of knowing Anne through every stage of her life. Since the day Anne came into this world, Jessica was blessed with a built-in sidekick for all childhood adventures. While sporting countless matching outfits, Jessica and Anne took the mean suburban streets of Lexington, KY by storm. Through the laughs, tears, and just a bit of southern sass, Jessica watched Anne grow into the fun, caring, and loyal being she is today, and she is thrilled that Anne has found her new sidekick for life in Andrew (and is equally as thrilled to welcome Andrew into our family!) Jessica resides in Pennsylvania with her husband Dylan and sons Ollie (9) and Connor (2).
Simon Thompson
Best Man
Simon is the eldest of the Thompson brothers and lives in San Antonio, TX with his Wife Jamie and two daughters Ainsley and Emily. While Simon has always been a role model and someone to look up to, Andrew and Simon grew closer after college when they both lived in Texas. Whether it was spending time with Simon and his family in San Antonio, meeting in Austin for a Kansas basketball game, or Andrew desperately trying to beat Simon in golf, the two have shared many great memories over the years. I can't imagine not having Simon next to me on this big day!
Rich Thompson
Best Man
Rich is the middle of the Thompson brothers, and lives in St. Louis, Missouri with his wife Jenna and four boys, Kieran, Callum, Rhys and Rory. Andrew has always looked up to Rich and followed in his footsteps attending the University of Kansas and joining the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. Growing up countless hours were spent playing video games, basketball in the driveway or other made-up games such as "back to the wall." Whether it's a call to discuss the Chiefs, Jayhawks, Royals, or how to navigate "Corporate America" Andrew knows Rich will always be there to talk.
Jessica Carter
Bridesmaid
I first met Anne, the beautiful bride, in November 2018 at Backyard in Deep Ellum. We bonded instantly over brunch and endless laughter, and from that day forward, she became one of the most important people in my life. Anne has a way of making everyone feel seen and valued, and our friendship has only deepened over the years. We’ve shared countless memories, supported each other through life’s ups and downs, and built a connection that I’ll treasure forever. Being by her side on her wedding day is such an honor, and I can’t wait to celebrate this new chapter in her life. Jessica lives in Dallas with her Husband Kelly and two cats, Oliver & Pepper!
Elizabeth Cortez
Bridesmaid
I met Anne in 2018 as a transfer member into the Junior League of Dallas. We were single girls, and had both recently moved to Dallas. I knew immediately by Anne’s cheerfulness and positive energy that we would be friends. Anne, Laurin and I really bonded as “newbies” to Dallas at a Taco Diner in the West Village over mambo taxis. Our adventures have included girls trips, concerts, bougie dinners and living single-girl lives! We had each other through the ups and downs of dating and finally meeting our life partners. We have laughed and cried together, through the best -weddings and holidays to the toughest-illnesses and recoveries! She’s the friend that will be there to hug and encourage you, build you up and love unconditionally. I remember the day Anne told me about Andrew-I recall her saying “he’s so nice, I’m afraid he’s too good to be true.” And apparently he was really that good! He’s one lucky guy! I’m so honored to be part of this beautiful marriage celebration! Anne and Andrew: Nathan and I wish you many many years of happiness together!!! Elizabeth lives in Dallas with her Husband Nathan and two step-children Hugo & Mia.
Holly Crutchfield
Bridesmaid
Holly and Anne’s friendship started in the most unexpected way: when Anne struck up a conversation—not with Holly—but with Holly’s mom at Bama Bound orientation. As it turned out Anne was pretty cool. From that moment, they became fast friends, navigating college life together and creating memories that would last a lifetime. Life took them in different directions after graduation. Anne moved to Phoenix, then Dallas, and Holly headed to New York City, but distance didn’t stand a chance against their bond. Whether it was spontaneous trips, cheering on the Tide at Alabama football games, or exploring the best brunch spots in NYC, they never let a state line get in the way of their adventures. One of their favorite shared memories involves Holly convincing Anne to take a class she claims she almost didn’t pass (to this day, Holly still insists it “builds character”). And then there were the hangover days—sometimes following a big game, sometimes just a big night out—spent on the couch with snacks, TV and way too much Advil. Through all the highs, lows, and truly questionable late-night decisions, they’ve remained friends, and Holly can’t wait to stand by her side on her big day! Holly lives in New York City with her adorable pug named Bob!
Bailey Dickson
Bridesmaid
Anne and Bailey met in college at Alabama and have been getting into the best kind of trouble ever since. They spent countless hours together with friends at The Houndstooth, dominating drunk bingo and being the most fun people in the room. Anne and Bailey fiercely cheered on The Crimson Tide at football games and had maybe a little too much fun celebrating all of Coach Saban’s wins. After college, sadly they moved to different states, but have stayed close. Anne and Bailey stay in touch celebrating Bama wins (or sadly, more recently, losses), have hurt themselves a bit traveling to Tuscaloosa for games and attempting to relive their glory days, and epic girl’s trips to Nashville, Mexico, or wherever the wind blows. Bailey lives in Atlanta with her husband Andrew and they are expecting their first baby this summer!
Liz Goldstein
Bridesmaid
Anne and Liz met early 2016 at a 90s party in Downtown Phoenix. They connected over a memorable initial conversation. Not only were they both Southerners living in the Phoenix desert, but they went to rival colleges: The University of Alabama and The University of Tennessee. After meeting, they were instant friends and attended many Junior League of Phoenix events together, explored Phoenix, went on trips, and watched each other’s dogs. Liz attended Christmas church services with Anne and her mom for several years and spent Easter together as well. When needing someone to lean on in hard times, they knew to reach out to one another. Liz is on a short-term assignment in Wyoming with her dog Gracie and cat Little Man. She cannot wait to move back to the big bright lights of Phoenix!
Meg May
Bridesmaid
Anne and I met back in 2014 at a Junior League of Phoenix event. I’m so beyond blessed that I have met her and her family. We have had so many adventures together, including JLP events, weddings, girl's trips, Waste Management Phoenix Open, Polo events, football games, and even spent holidays together with our families. I have never laughed so much with one person like I have with Anne. Meg lives in Phoenix and is always out and about with friends & family!
Laurin Kleeman
Bridesmaid
Laurin met Anne & Elizabeth Cortez in 2018 through the Junior League of Dallas transfer program. We 3 sat at the right side of the table at a dinner via Taco Diner & realized our bond was something special. We were all single and lived it up in Dallas. We had a blast to say the least! LB and Anne are both from Kentucky and cheer on the Kentucky Wildcats Basketball (win or lose). We have spent countless hours laughing, offering advice through the tears, and have been there for each other whether it be holidays in Dallas or through life's big events. Laurin and Anne have gone on girl's trips, concerts, and have now been in each others' weddings. Our friendship is exceptional and am so appreciative we will always be there for each other! Laurin lives in Dallas with her husband Michael, daughter Madeline, and sweet pup Poppy.
Todd Brown

Todd and Andrew met at Phi Kappa Psi as pledge brothers in 2006. While good friends in college, their friendship grew closer after college with an annual baseball trip to watch the Royals in various cities. They have been to about 15 ballparks together.

Brian Tagg
Groomsman
Our friendship started in high school; Brian got a front row seat to Andrew's saxophone performances while competing across various Shawnee Mission East sporting events. We eventually both pledged the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house at Kansas where we bonded over sports, music, Mario Kart and beer-die! Brian said, "I could not be happier for him to be marrying his best friend, and I'm honored to be part of their special day." Brian resides in Chicago with his wife Sam and daughter Emmie and son Liam.
Matt Trofholz
Groomsman
Matt and Andrew met Freshman year at Phi Psi and from there it has blossomed into a wonderful friendship. Whether its baseball trips across the country, Dallas Mavericks games, KU sporting events, blackjack tables in Vegas, or bumping into Mark Cuban at a local establishment we have shared many fun-filled memories. Matt summed up their friendship, "Andrew is my one friend who I can always count on to be the life of the show- one thing you can always be certain of hanging out with him, is that wherever you go, his personality, humor and sociable demeanor ensures you will be friends with everyone by the time you leave." Matt resides in Chicago with his dog Harvey.
