On May 30, 2026, the Youth-Reach Gulf Coast (YRGC) campus became the setting for a beautiful celebration as Andy and Taylor Wright exchanged vows surrounded by family, friends and a community that has played a significant role in their story.
For many in attendance, the wedding was a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness and the lasting impact of ministry across generations.
A Story of Transformation
Andy is a 2020 graduate of Youth-Reach Gulf Coast and now serves on staff as a counselor, investing in young men walking the same path he once traveled. As guests gathered on the campus that helped shape his life, they witnessed a moment that reflected the heart of Youth-Reach: transformed lives becoming a source of hope and influence for others.
Jackson Bentley, a 2016 YRGC grad and current Operations Coordinator, officiated the ceremony. Just five years ago, Jackson was standing in the same spot, exchanging wedding vows with his wife, Faith, as Youth-Reach founder Curt Williams officiated.
What a beautiful picture of generational impact.
The story of Youth-Reach has never been limited to a single season of a young man’s life. It is a story of discipleship that continues long after he graduates and starts a family of his own.
A Wedding to Remember
Andy and Taylor’s wedding was unforgettable. The couple had a clear vision for their special day, and countless helping hands came together to bring that vision to life. Staff members, residents, friends and family all played a part in creating a celebration that reflected the love and community surrounding the couple. From the ceremony to the reception, the atmosphere was filled with joy. Laughter echoed across campus, conversations lingered late into the evening and the dance floor remained full until the final send-off.
As Andy and Taylor begin this new chapter together, they do so surrounded by people who have walked with them, prayed for them and celebrated the Lord’s faithfulness in their lives. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to witness this special day and the larger story it represents. The journey that began years ago when a young man had nowhere else to turn has become a testimony of God’s redeeming power.
Congratulations, Andy and Taylor! We are thrilled for you both and look forward to seeing all God has in store for your future together.
We are rejoicing with you both in this covenant life journey!! May the Lord always work through and in y’all as you daily surrender to Him. Hugs💕
