Matron of Honor
It was impossible NOT to notice the vibrant couple who came struttin' in to the bar that Taylor was at with her mom, one night. Taylor knew right then that she wanted to be friends with that girl who appeared to not have a care in the world. They asked us to play shuffleboard with them and Kaitlin and Taylor have been friends ever since! It's difficult to imagine my life without Kaitlin and all she brings with her; the advice, the amazing adventures, and, of course, the way she can turn a morning full of hangover into hours of laughter! I was so honored to be a part of her wedding and now I am so excited she will be by my side on my big day...to help calm my nerves, assure my makeup is perfect, and, most importantly, hold my dress while I pee! ;)
Best Man
Ryan and Tyler have been close friends since his time at Hydrite Chemical almost 7 years ago. Ryan was a fundamental part of Tyler and Taylor's relationship early on. Ryan is a great guy, Tyler encourages you to buy him alcohol when you see him.
Bridesmaid
Kristin is the oldest of Taylor's four younger siblings. From biting each other over toys to crying and laughing about all the memories, they have been through everything together. Isn't that what sisters are for?? Kristin has had my back since day one.... probably trying to repay me for the time I chased after the little brats who called her mayonnaise face when we were little girls (she used to eat lettuce and mayo sandwiches). If I call her upset over something her first words are always "who do I need to come beat up?" Even despite the distance (Wisconsin to Arizona and wherever she goes next), I know she will always be there for me and I love that she will be there for me on my wedding day!
Groomsman
Tyler has known Nick since the 4th grade in Mr. Pavik's class. Neither Nick or Tyler know how to spell "Pavik" but for the sake of this story, it'll work. Nick helped Tyler move to Texas before his Freshman year of high school. Tyler has still not forgiven Nick for that. Tyler once borrowed a portable heater from Nick, Nick has still not forgiven himself for that.
Bridesmaid
I do not know what it is about my sisters and weird sandwiches...Kayli used to eat Peanut butter and ketchup sandwiches, but I still love her the same! It amazes me just how close the two of us have gotten over the past few years. She is truly one of my best friends, even despite our age gap! My sister has matured into a beautiful, amazing woman and I can't wait to celebrate this special day with her by my side. When you see her, she could probably use a shot! ;)
Groomsman
A couple years ago Adam introduced Tyler to Kenny. One thing you should know about Adam and Kenny is literally ANYTHING is possible when the two of them are with eachother. Against Taylor's best wishes Adam and Tyler paid Kenny $15.29 to eat a handful of Taylor's cat food. Ahh.. memories. Adam was the man who introduced Tyler to Taylor. It's a great story best told in person. Tyler stood up in Adam and his wife, Brittany's wedding. Adam is a great guy who really enjoys a good time, there is no one Tyler would rather spend his big night with than Adam and his wife.
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Nicole have been the best of friends since second grade. Even despite their lives taking them different directions, Nicole and Taylor can spend hours on the phone catching up! I went up to Nicole after school one day and asked her for her phone number so we could be friends. Little did she know, I really wanted to be her friend because I REALLY liked her jeans!! They say that if a friendship makes it seven year, it will last forever... so I guess she's stuck with me, just like Tyler! I am so honored she will be flying home to spend this day with me.
Groomsman
Matt has been getting Tyler into trouble since the day they met. Matt once threw a massive party at Tyler's house and got the cops called (Matt said it was all part of the plan). One time, Matt was driving Tyler to work at Janesville Sand & Gravel and Matt was doing in excess of 50 MPH in their parking lot. Upon Matt losing control, Matt's truck ended up stuck on the Wisconsin Southern Railroad tracks, Matt should have been fined for this, but Tyler helped him. Tyler wouldn't want to be dressed up, smelling good, knowing Matt wasn't in his immediate proximity. Matt must be watched at all times. He is in the wedding.
Junior Bridesmaid
Kylee is Tyler's daughter. She will be 11yrs at the time of the wedding. Tyler and Taylor are excited about having Kylee be a part of this wedding. Anyone who knows Tyler and Taylor know how big of a part Kylee is to their lives. Kylee is a ball of energy, be sure to come up and introduce yourself to her (for those of you who don't know her).
Junior Groomsmen
Jayden is Taylor's only brother! One boy with four sisters.... oofta! He has promised to pause his xbox to come celebrate this special day with us, and that's a big deal, guys! I cannot wait to give him advice about girls, friends, and everything else that high school has to offer.
Junior Bridesmaid
Olivia is the youngest of Taylor's siblings. She is one fiery little girl and I cannot wait for her to give me all the makeup and hair tips to make sure I am in style on my wedding day. She will probably be showing me all the new dance moves too!
Usher
Tyler has been friends with Tyler since being Tyler was a thing. From way back on Milton Avenue cruising the strip, to attempting to have fun in alcohol free rave clubs in Illinois, these two go back. Tyler is like a brother to Tyler, and nothing will change that.
Usher
Branden and Tyler have been friends for a long time. The two of them share a lot of memories together, and it was an honor for Branden to say "yes" to helping out in the wedding. Tyler surely looks forward to the day/night having Branden at his side.
Ring Bearer
Taylor has been a nanny for Griffin since he was three months old. The (now) four-year-old often tells Taylor that he plans to marry her when he gets bigger. ❤❤ Hopefully he is not too crushed when he finds out he's not the groom!
Flower Girl
Caitlyn is the daughter of Tyler's groomsman, Matt. She did such an awesome job in her role as flower girl in her dad's wedding that we just had to have her as part of ours!
