Oh Happy Day!
Wedding Party
Ashley Bychowski
Matron of Honor
Ashley has been my best friend since we were 13 and we would meet halfway between each others houses and spent an entire summer playing rockband every. single. day. Ashley has been there through it all, through our "punk scene" phase to graduations and big life accomplishments. There are very few memories I have that don't involve Ashley (some too embarrassing to share here) and I wouldn't have it any other way. Ashley is funny, caring, hard working, and a steadfast friend that I know will be by my side until we are old and gray. There is no one else I could picture as being my matron of honor! You will find Ashley at the wedding talking about anything except COVID-19 (seriously don't bring it up to her) and making sure her husband Johnny doesn't get too turnt.
Preston Phillips
Best Man
Along with being my brother, Preston has always been my best friend and role model. Although we don't look much alike we share almost every hobby and interest. You can find us competing at any sport imaginable, to playing air guitar to Freebird, or even arguing as to which anime character is strongest. I have been blessed with a brother I can always turn to and know that he has my back no matter what. There isn't anyone else I'd want to stand next to me on my big day than my big brother. You will probably find Preston sharing an in depth conversation with a family friend over a cigar outside and you can easily find out where he is because of his incredibly loud laugh.
Tamsyn Morison
Maid of Honor
Tamsyn "Tammy Time" Morison has been my best gal since college at A&M. We met through mutual friends and since she was also a psychology major and has her life together she would help me plan my schedule every semester. Then, we both got into UNT grad school and became roommates in Denton, TX! My favorite memories with Tam are riding on the back of her moped to our weight training class or getting on the jumbotron at Aggie sports event. Tammy is compassionate, HYPE, hard working, and a friend who will always remember and reach out to you about what's going on in your life. I am so blessed to have her stand by me on Grant and I's day. You might find Tamsyn trying to start the war hymn, spread the gospel, talking about play therapy, or getting chose by a random guy by the bar.
Robby Wells
Best Man
Robby and I met way back on the Mariners tee-ball team where we took home the championship. We grew up playing sports against and with each other forming the "X-Factor" friendship we still have today. We have shared tons of memories boating on Lake Travis to navigating rapids and jumping off rocks on the Guadalupe. Robby and I's goofy sense of humor has never faded and I am blessed to have a friend who genuinely cares about how I am doing and how he can help. I am so blessed Robby will be standing with Preston as a co-best man come January 23rd. Along with Preston and I you will find Robby rocking out to the air guitar and he will also be the most likely to bring an extra shirt because of him profusely sweating.
Becca Ryan
Bridesmaid
Becca "BeccaBear" Ryan and I met through a random roommate app called RoomSurf. After some cringy facebook exchanges, we met up IRL at chipotle where she stated, "You are shorter than I thought". That sealed the deal and we were freshman roommates and have been best friends since. Becca has been with me through all and she has taught me to curl my hair and I have taught her to do laundry. Becca is loving, wise beyond her years, encouraging, and will always push you closer to Christ. She is ALWAYS down for queso, antonios, or any other snack you might be craving. You will probably find her sneaking a nap into the wedding day or hovering over the snack bar.
Colton Asheim
Groomsman
Colton "Crash" and I first met playing peewee football on the KYF Broncos. He was the quarterback and I was the receiver, so we had a connection that hasn't been broken. Colton and I never went to school together until the fall of 2013 when we both lived on campus at Texas A&M. Even though we weren't close friends growing up, whenever we reconnected in college it was as if we had been brothers the entire time. Colton quickly grew to be one of my closest, loyal, and reliable friends. Crash is someone who is always there for me and come the wedding day I am honored for him to be a groomsman.. Crash will be the most likely to rent a hazmat suit because #covid and somehow find a way to pull it off.
Raina Harrelson
Bridesmaid
Raina or "Raina Dee Photography" and I met while working at a tutoring place in college. We always had a blast on our shifts together and became friends outside of work when Raina joined a sorority with some of my other besties. Whether it is dressing up for a date party, or singing karaoke, or her relationships, Raina gives her whole heart and 100%. She cares so much for others and is always putting others before herself. She is smart, hard working, and always will be there to encourage you and be your hype woman! I am so thankful to call her one of my besties. You will probably find Raina at the wedding eating Limon Chips, beer salt, showing people pictures of her dog, or crying when the night is over because she doesn't want to leave.
Nick Novy
Groomsman
Nick and I first met at Fish camp before we started classes at Texas A&M. Lo and behold he and I would end up joining the same organization for the next two years. While in this leadership organization I became close friends with Nick and we've continued to grow closer because Nick is someone who always puts other before himself. Nick and I have bonded through our love for all kinds of sports, even though he roots for the Cowboys and Mavs, and you can practically always find us laughing at something silly. Nick and I are sure to spend more laughs and smiles on the wedding day and I can't wait for him to be a part of it all. Nick will probably be the guy telling people how he saw the band of the song playing live at the latest walapalooza.
Brittany Zuckero
Bridesmaid
Brittany and I met during recruitment (#last names at the end of the alphabet) where we would always get in trouble for talking at the end of the line. Once we found out that we were in the same sorority the rest was history (ZLAM). I have so many silly memories with Britt in college and one of my favorites is going to Harry Potter world with her for SB. Brittany is fun and if you know her you know her laugh is contagious. Everyone would also agree she is our most fashionable friend and it was a blessing to share a closet with her. Brittany is a light to be around and has such a heart for the Lord and for others. We are so happy to have her by our side! At the wedding, Brittany will take a little to warm up... but by the end of the night you will find her twerking on the dance floor.
Patrick Mills
Groomsman
Patrick "Patty" and I first hung out freshman year of high school after talking about ping pong in Coach McFarland's geography class. We’ve been close pals ever since. Patty and I are usually playing some odd sport such as disc golf, darts, or knee hockey. I am always laughing when I'm with him, usually because of a funny Office reference between the two of us, or a joke his dad has made. Patrick is loyal, kind- hearted, and the definition of what I look for in a friend. He’s always available to talk with or just hangout out and enjoy each other’s company. I am thrilled to have him be in my wedding party. Patty will probably be double fisting mojitos (aka "heaters") or make a remark how it's not THAT cold outside because he's from Canada.
Catherine Phelps
Bridesmaid
Catherine and I met through Brittany in the dorms freshman year. (Shoutout to the commons). We also got to live together where I experienced her cold temperatures (#ice princess) and she experienced my trail of shredded cheese to my room. But seriously though Cat is the life of the party and always down for if you want a chill night in or you want to go on an adventure. She is the hostess with the mostest and cares deeply for others and is filled with joy. I am so lucky to have her by my side on our big day. You will most likely find Catherine ordering ranch waters at the bar (extra limes) or trying to convince others in the group to move to Lake Highlands.
Conner Cawley
Groomsman
Conner and I first met at a basketball camp in about the 4th grade. We ended up going to the same school from 6th grade until the day we graduated college from Texas A&M. Conner and I are always joking with each other and that hasn't changed one bit over all these years. He was my tennis doubles partner in 7th and 8th grade where we dominated the 4th seed doubles category bringing home 2 golds for our school. I am blessed to have moved close to Conner and to have a life long friend so close. He is someone that is always there for you and genuinely cares about your best interest. I'm pumped to have him up there with me. Conner will most likely be having an argument on how In-n-Out is better than Whataburger and defending it with all his might.
Jeannette Sanchez
Bridesmaid
Jeannette and I met in the counseling program at UNT and we have been best pals since. Jeannette has a laugh that is infectious and I have probably worn more clothes in her closet than she has. She was willing to go to a Shawn Mendes concert and scream your her out along with a group of mostly 13 year old girls. She is fun, warm, a wonderful listener (shout out to that counseling degree ) and loves the Lord. I am so thankful we were brought together and have made so many memories throughout grad school idk if I could have done it without her. You will most likely find Jeannette watching a bravo show on her phone or trying to sneak in her dog Leo to the wedding.
Ryan Fischler
Groomsman
Ryan "Fisch" was one of my first friends in college. I met him freshman year in the same business leadership organization as Nick and I. Him and I got along instantly thanks to our bond over Houston sports. He and I shared many long conversations throughout college where we would find ourselves still talking at 3am in the morning. He introduced me to many of my college friends and I am very lucky to have someone as caring and empathetic as him. Most of my fondest memories of college seem to have Fischler in the middle of them. Fisch is someone I am thrilled to call a groomsman and a close friend. Fischler will most likely be the guy trying to hype the crowd by trying to do a backflip even though he knows he can't.
Nicole Phillips
Bridesmaid
I've loved getting to know Nicole over the past few years while Grant and I have dated. She is fabulous and I am definitely jealous of her amazing style. Nicole is so fun to be around no matter what we are doing. Most of all I can't wait to finally have a sister!! EEEKK! I am so excited to have her there with us on the big day! I am looking forward to our future sisterhood and seeing her continue to grow. Nicole can most likely be found at the wedding showing people pictures of her adorable golden retriever Winston.
Austin Boister
Groomsman
Boister and I have been close friends since we met in the 6th grade. He has been one of my most loyal and caring people growing up in my life. Outside of my own home I spent most of my time at the Boister's playing ping pong and shooting basketball trick shot videos. Boister and I were roommates freshman year of college where we would play PS4 and eat personal pan Papa John's pizzas. I can always count on Boister and have been blessed with such a great friend for so long. Boister is my wild card of the group so come the big day there's no telling what he will be up to.
Kynnadi Bryan
Junior Bridesmaid
Kynnadi is my (Grant) younger cousin. I have been so blessed to see her grow up since she was born. We are so excited to have her be a part of our wedding because Kynnadi has been such a loving a caring cousin who is always fun to be around. Kynnadi has been known to have the same exact style as Emily, or should we say it’s the other way around! Kynnadi will most likely be requesting a Frozen or Moana track to be played.
Ryan Yount
Groomsman
Ryan and I (Emily) were "wombmates" AKA we are twins and he is my literal day one. Naturally, Ryan and I grew up doing most things together and always had our own special language and bond (no we can't read each others minds and no we are not identical). Ryan is smart, a skilled skateboarder, and will always make you laugh. I am so thankful to have him in my life and as my brother. Throughout these 25 years, he has continued to be there for me. Grant and I are so excited to have him stand by us on our special day. You will most likely find Ryan trying to doordash food to the reception or looking at golden retrievers on reddit.
Christian Yount
Groomsman
Christian and I (Emily) met 15 years ago when he was born. A lot has changed from changing his diapers to now he is almost driving. (OMG!) Christian is my brother who keeps me young and relevant by showing me his music or teaching me what the kids are saying these days. He is smart, funny, and passionate and you can always count on him on an interesting convo involving something related to hunting, anime, or his hair. I have truly enjoyed getting to spend time with him and being roommates while I have lived at home. I am thankful for him and and his heart and willingness to help others. Grant and I are so overjoyed to have him stand by us on our big day! Christian will most likely be found at the wedding carrying a jug of chocolate milk and a jug of sweet tea (yes both) in hand.
Miles Wright
Usher
Miles and I go all the way back to the same coach pitch baseball team The Ducks. Miles is someone who I've grown closer to over the years and have been extremely grateful for God putting him in my life. I can always count on Miles to say the right thing if I am struggling, or to just pray for me in hard and good times. We usually always are laughing over something goofy and Miles is that friend to always cheer you up no matter what. If Miles isn't sporting a crutch of some sort he will be in the middle of all the action. Nobody has perfected the white boy dance moves quite like Miles and his wife Allison.
Ryan Hayford
Usher
Ryan and I met the same way I got to know Patrick. I started hanging out with them through playing ping pong and it turned into a close friendship. Ryan and I have enjoyed fishing, doing young life, and spikeball over the years. Ryan is someone whose been easy to keep up with because of how interested he is in your life. He genuinely cares how I'm doing and is always a call away. Hayford is as comfortable smoking a cigar by a fire as he is sporting his tie on his head and his shirt unbuttoned one or two buttons too much.
Duke
Groomsdog
I got Duke as my 16th birthday gift. Since that moment we have built an indescribable bond. Just when I think nobody can understand what I'm going through, Duke is always there for me. He has always been my truest friend, and I will always love him. He has brought me so much joy over the past 10 years and this day would be incomplete without him there. Duke and I have spent some amazing memories together, from sleeping together on the rug, to wrestling, swimming, random car rides, and walks along the creek, Duke is my best friend. You will most likely find Duke being the goodest of boys.
