Wedding Party
Kylie Self
Bride
Hello! I am the bride :) As you read through this website and everyone's bios you are reading through my point of view! I am a Flight Attendant for United Airlines (well, before Covid... and once flying picks up again). A few main things about my(SELF): I grew up dancing and still love it, a dream hobby would be to get involved with swing dancing, and I plan to once the world gets a little more back to normal. I love the outdoors, and when traveling Taylor and I always try to take advantage of hiking. I was born and raised in Arizona, and even after traveling all over the world it is one of my favorite places to be!
Taylor Hallman
Groom
Taylor was born in Oakland, Ca and moved to New Jeresy when he was only 4. Oakland really shaped the beginning of Taylor, ask him any detail about his house or life at 4 years old in California he remembers it. Which helps make sense why Taylor wants to wear a t-shirt no matter the weather! One of my favorite things about Taylor is he loves random knowledge, and no matter who we are around usually can carry good conversation with people. They can talk about their hobbies and some how Taylor will know at least a little bit of detail on it. He is always down to try something new, like for valentines day we took a gymnastics class. The best is he likes the fluffy fries, and I love the crunchy fries, so when it comes to sharing fries I just don't think I could have found a better partner!
Tayler Stokes
Matron of Honor
Tayler is my beautiful older sister ! We used to argue over what tv channel to watch, and when I would have the remote she would act like she loved all the shows I wanted to watch so I would change it, and when it got to a tv show she wanted to watch she would act like she hated it. It was a very smart way to trick me into watching what she wanted. Now as we are mature she still has a couple tricks up her sleeve...she will buy me a Starbucks and get me all caffeinated so I start cleaning her house;) My sister is one of the hardest working and smartest people I know. She is never afraid to go after her goals, and she tackles all of them while being an amazing mother to her two cute little boys.
Mauricio
Best Man
Mao and I ( Taylor) met when we both joined Prudential in 2013. It isn't easy to integrate yourself within a new company in your early twenties. I found that having the support of each other, and comedic relief early in our careers allowed us to adapt and succeed. As our careers excelled, our friendship exceeded beyond the confines of our employment. I am truly lucky that we have been able to share memorable experiences. From our business trips to Chicago & Atlanta, to our daily exploits in NYC. As we mature as adults our friendship has taken on a new form, and I am truly grateful to have Mao in my life and I am so very excited for what our futures hold.
Zoya Tretiakova
Flower Girl
Zoya is my God daughter and top negotiator! She has known she will be my flower girl for a while now, and even practices and asked her mom if she was marrying me! Zoya has the dancing bug like her mama Catherine and I! During quarantine she has even been learning ballet online! She loves to drink "Coffee" with us in the morning ! Zoya loves to help and at this rate is going to be able to cook amazing meals by the time she is 5!
Rhett Stokes
Ring Bearer
Rhett in my nephew and I am his KK. He loves DINOSAURS!! Ask him to name any of them, and he has got it down! He loves being outdoors and riding anything with wheels. He is a great helper, and as of late sometimes gets to go with Grandpa to the horses and help scoop up the horse poop! Its a special job only big kids get to go do. Owen, his little brother, cant wait until he is old enough to go help at the horses! Rhett loves to face-time me, but is also usually quick to say okay bye KK.
Owen Stokes
Ring Bearer
Owen is also my nephew and Rhett's little brother. He wants to be just like brother. He is a big cuddle bug, and if you aren't paying attention you might just get body slammed with hugs, and they are the best hugs! He has a contagious smile that reminds me of my Great Grandpa Papa Matt, it is just full of kindness. He also loves to be outdoors, and isn't far behind Rhett at riding the dirt bikes like pros! He is determined to show you he can do anything big brother and dad can do.
Tom and Katherine Hallman
Parents of the Groom
Meet Taylor's parents! Tom and Katherine are very active and sweet! They enjoy dinners with friends, and love golf. They raised an amazing son whom I cant wait to marry! From the first time they met me they welcomed me and loved me as their own, and I am extremely lucky to get to call them family! I believe they also have a goal to get me out on the golf course with them, I am just not sure if they are aware how hazardous my golf swing might be!
Keith and Cheri Self
Parents of the Bride
These two beautiful people are my parents! I couldn't be more thankful for the life they have given me! From my Dad's love for horses, the outdoors, and dry humor, to my Mom's goofiness, giving heart, and love for being active. I am a great mix of both my parents, even though looks wise I am my Mother's twin. While my travels around the world have definitely added to my parents grey hair, they are always there to give advice and cheer me on. I am forever grateful for them as my parents.
