Dylan & Reagan
Wedding Party
Indiana
Best Little Man
Indiana (known to friends and family as "Indy") is our labradoodle and best friend. He also responds to: Little Man, Sugar Butt, Sweet Cheeks, Falkor, Indiana Jones, and Who's My Handsome Boy. Indy prides himself on his ability to extract the squeaker out of any toy, fetch his blue ball in record speed, and use his disturbingly long tongue to give everyone he meets a little kiss. He can run for 10 miles straight. He can jump, he can swim, and he can steal your girl.
Aidan Homan
Maid of Honor
Aidan is Reagan's baby sister and other brain cell. Together, they have created their own language, their own dance routines, and their own cinematic masterpieces on iMovie. They have bored their parents to tears with meaningless discourse like the value of hugs in American society. Aidan has a degree in Political Science and Spanish from UT Knoxville and is liable to start speaking Spanish after a few drinks. If you didn’t already know, she lived abroad in Argentina working as an ESL teaching assistant (taking after Mel!) and has hiked the iconic Fitz Roy in Patagonia. Ask her about impressive trinket collection, her Goodreads account, and what she thinks about Dune.
Blake Melancon
Best Man
Blake has been Dylan's best friend since elementary school. Blake and his family are the proud owners of the largest collection of Fiats this side of the Mississippi. A man of few words, Blake enjoys the simple things in life and is a bonafide mountain man-- literally, he works as a Park Ranger for Frozen Head State Park.
Gabrielle Melancon
Bridesmaid
Reagan met Gabrielle through Dylan and her then-boyfriend (now husband!), Blake. Born in the 1950s, Gabrielle has a love for all things retro and all things David Bowie. She drives a manual transmission Fiat better than most people drive automatic cars. She loves Asian food, her bearded dragon, Henry, and her family.
Jake Kimball
Groomsman
Dylan met Jake when Jake moved into Hudson on the Greenway and became Dylan's roommate turned lifelong friend. Jake embodies ride-or-die in everything he does. You want to watch a war movie? Jake's down. You want to actually go to war? Jake's been waiting his whole life for that. He's a mean cook, a whiskey aficionado, and a straight shooter with a soft spot for his tribe. Oh, and he's permanently banned from the Pita Pit.
Cat Hunt
Bridesmaid
Reagan met Cat through their sorority at UT Knoxville. They became fast friends, navigating college life together one M&M McFlurry at a time. Cat is a certified debutante hailing from Lynchburg, Virginia with a corgi obsession that borders insanity. She knows what's trending before it's trending, can get you good tickets to a Titans game, and will tell you the best place to get a glizzy, no matter where you are.
Vincente Cardenas
Groomsman
Vincente (read: "Vincenzo") has been friends with Dylan since their time at Hardin Valley Academy. He's loyal, 6'2, a fantastic cook, and owns two adorable Australian shepherds. He's also single, if you're wondering. In his free time, he works at AvZ Aviation while he earns his private pilot's license.
Maddie Younginer
Bridesmaid
Maddie has been one of Reagan's closest friends since high school. They've traveled all over the world together, seeing London, Paris, Venice, Munich, Lucerne, and several towns in Haiti, to name a a few. Maddie is smarter than you, but since she'll never admit it, you'll take our word for it. She works as Tooling Design Engineer for Nike, plays the guitar with the voice of an angel, and has your back, no matter what. Except when there's a cockroach- you're on your own for that one.
Trey Hedrick
Groomsman
Trey is Dylan's little bro. He's a man of many talents: he can communicate telepathically with cats, make bourbon disappear, and 'hack into the main frame'. Trey works in IT and computer science and can give you ten good reasons why Google is stealing all of your personal data. The way to his heart? Pasta.
Katelyn Cooley
Bridesmaid
Reagan met Katelyn through their rec soccer league. Katelyn, having actual soccer skill, and Reagan, having just bought a Lady Karns soccer team bag off Facebook Marketplace, helped Pachuca win their summer season. If it were up to Katelyn, she would live outdoors using the large amount of camping equipment she has stockpiled throughout her lifetime. She uses a physical, paper planner, refuses to store anything on iCloud, and prefers Reddit as her news source.
Walter Egan
Groomsman
Walt was Dylan's first 'stick buddy' in flight school. Meaning, they flew as pilot and co-pilot together while learning how to fly Black Hawk helicopters. After countless auto-rotations, check rides, house parties, and nights on Lake Tholocco, Walt and Dylan became good friends. True to his Texas roots, Walt's culinary and craftsmen skills are something of legend. Don't be fooled by his steely, devil-may-care demeanor. Although he's brave enough to fly military aircraft, his german shepherd, Odin, is the true fearless one.
Jodi Felkley
Bridesmaid
Jodi is Dylan's step-sister and the older sister Reagan has been missing her whole life. She's a free spirit who knows how to have fun and take life less seriously. If you think you love Halloween, you haven't met Jodi. It's honestly a courtesy that she's here, let alone as a bridesmaid, this close to her favorite holiday of the year, which she celebrates for the entirety of October. Ask her about her other roommate, Frederick, a life-sized skeleton she keeps on permanent display year-round.
Dylan Yaksic
Groomsman
Dylan met Dylan through UT's ROTC program. Aside from sharing the same name, they have a lot of things in common, like an undying love for the dart board at Cool Beans. Dylan lives in Hawaii, as if we needed another reason to come visit him. During the day, he works as a DoD contractor, but in his free time he takes some killer drone footage of the island where he lives. He's also the proud owner of a rather large English bulldog, Potato. A cause he's passionate about: making thigh tattoos cool again.
Mel Homan
Mother of the Bride
Mel (read: Moosh) has never met a stranger in her life. She’s warm, welcoming, and wins Hostess with the Mostest at every event she throws. By day, she’s Dr. Homan, Dean of Faculty and Students. By night, she’s a historian with a morbid fixation on crime shows. She dreams of catching her first ghost (we have been on countless ghost tours, thankfully to no avail) and changing the lives of kids in schools nationwide. We’re biased, but we think she’s doing a killer job of that already! Call it mother’s intuition, but she knew Dylan was The One before Reagan did. That’s how good she is.
Shawn Felkley
Mother of the Groom
Shawn instilled several core values in Dylan, one of which being: work hard, play hard. She’s classy, sure— she has the most refined wine palette in Tennessee. Don’t get us wrong, though. Shawn knows how to have a good time. Shawn was “girlbossing” before it was cool and now works as a Chief People Officer. In her “spare time” (we’re using this term loosely), she manages a condo and her own HR consultancy. One thing is for sure: she will dominate you in any game involving a deck of cards.
Todd Homan
Father of the Bride
There was never any question that Reagan is Todd's daughter. Type A, outgoing, active, and headstrong, Ranger Todd led the way for Reagan evolving into someone who loves itineraries even more than he does. Todd is a devoted IPA fanatic, an award-winning photographer (according to the judges at the Williamson County Fair), and a fantastic skier. His fatal flaw (which we do NOT endorse) is that he cheers for Alabama’s Crimson Tide. Fun fact about Todd: he’s an ordained minister!
Mike Felkley
Father of the Groom
Mike (read: The Flake) is Dylan's stepdad and the #1 reason we know anything about wine. Please congratulate him, as he just retired from a long and tiring career of selling and tasting wine. Mike loves the beach, his wife, Shawn, and giving Reagan hell every chance he gets. He has a tough exterior, but anyone who knows him understands he's a mushy, loving softie. He may be the only one who will be crying more than Reagan during the ceremony.
