Michaela & Holden
Meet the Wedding Party
Julianne Brady
Maid of Honor
Hey everyone! I'm Julianne. I'm not just Michaela's sister... I'm her favorite sister. Right now, I'm getting my Associates in Business, and when I'm not at home doing school work you'll probably see me out with friends or traveling somewhere super random. I'm so grateful to be able to stand by my sisters side on her and Slug's big day! 😉
Corey Redington
Best Man
Hey all! I'm Corey- Holden's best man. I've known Holden since we were just little kids riding dirt bikes and throwing a football in the front yard. In my free time I like to travel and spend time at the lake with family and friends.
Felicity Ray
Bridesmaid
Hello there! Felicity here; I'm Michaela's sister...the first of four! The one old enough to remember quite clearly the day Michaela was born....I may have been a junior in college, actually. ;) I'm mother to little man Brady Ray (ring bearer) and wife to Brandon (perhaps the most handsome wedding guest ;) ). We are genuinely excited to solidify Holden and the Clendaniel family as a permanent part of our family! Let's get this done! <3
Alex Feeney
Groomsman
Hey guys! I'm Alex, Holden's cousin. I'm from Suffolk, Virginia and I'm a Junior in college. In my free time, I enjoy playing golf, hunting and fishing, and kicking back with the guys. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and celebrating Holden and Michaela next September!
Gwendolyn Brady
Bridesmaid
Hey there! I'm Gwendolyn ('Gwen' to most, Aunt GiGi to the ring bearer, 'Gen' to toddler Michaela, and 'G-String' to Holden 🤪). I am the second of the 4 daughters in Michaela's immediate fam. Michaela was my FIRST LITTLE sibling... a BEAUTIFUL baby girl born my senior year of high school! She will forever be my little 'Scooby'. I am honored to serve as her bridesmaid and SO EXCITED to welcome my new little brother, 'Ho-Ho', into our family! MUAH 😘
Gabe Clendaniel
Groomsman
Hey! I'm Gabe-- Holden's youngest cousin. I'm from Ocean City, MD. I love working out, eating, the outdoors, and most importantly I love my beautiful family! I don't know if Holden knows it or not, but he's had a huge impact on my goals in life (short and long term). Talking with Holden about working out and seeing him grow physically and mentally through a healthy lifestyle has made me grow and change as a person. I can't thank him enough. I'm so happy for Holden and Michaela! I can't wait to make more fun, loving memories. See you guys next September!
Logan Clendaniel
Bridesmaid
Hello! I'm the older sister of Holden and the soon-to-be sister of Michaela (although it feels like Michaela and I have already been sisters for the past 4 years!). I couldn't be more thrilled that Michaela is the bride my baby brother chose. I've seen their love grow. I've seen them challenge each other, and there truly couldn't be a greater match. Their love is an inspiration to me and I can't wait to be a part of their big day!
Jakob Mattox
Groomsman
Howdy family and friends of Holden and Michaela! Congrats on being invited to celebrate some of my best friends! Holden and I met back in college and have been good buddies for the better part of 7 years. From tearing through the Stockyards of Fort Worth to branding cattle in western Nebraska, we've had some great adventures and plan to have many more. My wife and I have been so appreciative for these two's friendship over the years, and we are so excited to finally celebrate their big day!

Hello beautiful people ❤️ I can't wait for us to celebrate the true, genuine love Holden and Michaela posses together! I'm incredibly proud to have an amazing brother like Holden. He's my rock. I'm so happy that Michaela is not only his bride, but my sister. Thank you both for being an example of a strong and committed bond. Get ready to witness the greatest love of all time!
Josh Crawford
Groomsman
Hi, I'm Josh. Holden and I met on a random roommate pick while attending Missouri State where we continued to live / work together for the remainder of our time in Springfield. We never got into any trouble and were model citizens. Even though we live apart now, nothing has changed and we continue to do the things we love to do together... like hunting and early morning strolls on the beach.

Kaitlin Contreras
Bridesmaid
Hello everyone! My name is Kaitlin! I was lucky enough to grow up and graduate with Michaela. I am currently a 6th grade English teacher in Cape Girardeau School District. When I'm not teaching, you can catch me at a Cardinal's game, watching basketball, reading, exercising, spending time with family, or breaking it down on a dance floor. It's safe to say that I can be described as outgoing, adventurous, and full of energy! I can't wait to celebrate my best friend as she gets married to the love of her life!
Austin Lafeber

Sydnie Redington
Bridesmaid
Hello, I'm Sydnie. In my free time I love to travel, read and hang out with family and friends. I have known Holden since he unfortunately roomed with Corey in college. I'm not sure how he managed to snag Michaela but man am I thankful he did. All jokes aside, they are two of the best people I've ever met. Their friendship means the world to me and I can't wait to get them married and get down on the dance floor!
John Woody
Groomsman
Holden and I met in middle school and we started wrestling together. In high school I don't think there was a day we didn't hang out. I remember talking about what the future held for us at Barathaven Lake. I'm so happy for you guys- we owe you an Irish car bomb! 😂
Emilie Crawford
Bridesmaid
Hi! I'm Emilie! I met Michaela and Holden when they started dating, at the same time and house my husband Josh and I started dating, back in college. We have all shared countless laughs, memories, and questionable moments together, but Mic and clicked quickly and have had our fair share of memories ourselves. ☺️ We now work together and get to pretend to be professional while wrangling our super tame husbands on the side. SO honored to watch our best friends get married!
