Kendra & Kyle
Meet Our Wedding Party
Alison Barraco
Matron of Honor
Friend of the Bride: 23 years of friendship & forever counting since Mrs. Reedy's kindergarten class. Alison and Kendra back then were told by their teacher to get seat belts for their chairs because they were constantly getting up in class to talk to each other. Not much has changed since, and she's still Kendra's ride or die best friend. She's somehow going to be the last one standing at the after party, too.
Ryan Prendergast
Best Man
Brother of the Groom: Ryan is Kyle's big brother. Kyle has always looked up to Ryan as a role model and has learned the ins and outs of life from him. Ryan has given the tough love to Kyle that he so deserves his whole life.
Ashley Egan
Maid of Honor
Friend of the Bride: 23 years of friendship and forever counting since our kindergarten Daisy troop days. Ashley is the sister that Kendra never had, and she's by far the closest person to one. The Egans have been Kendra's 2nd family for majority of her life. Kendra & Ashley have been through every walk of life together from Girl Scouts, years of dance, cheerleading, poms, tumbling, and stuck together as they both graduated from Illinois State -- some of their fondest memories of college was their year living in Watterson on Marshall 5 together. There hasn't been a moment in each other's lives that they haven't been a part of, and Kendra is grateful to have Ashley to go through life's major milestones with (soon to be the future Mrs. Wilkin!)

Groomsman
Brother of the Groom: Danny is Kyle's littlest brother. - again, minus the "little". Danny is the "ultimate chiller" kind of guy.
