Wedding Party
Maggie Smith
Maid of Honor
When Abby was a little girl, she prayed for a little sister so she had someone to make up handshakes and play Pretty Pretty Princess with. At 6 years old, Abby's prayers came true in the form of a built in best friend for life. Maggie will make the best Maid of Honor and the couple is honored to have her stand by their side.
Eric Hart
Best Man
Eric is Brian's older brother, and they have had a lifetime of memories together. They survived going to the same high school together, living in Prague, moving a million times, and figuring out growing up together. Although Eric frequently used Brian's face as target practice during his soccer days, Brian is thankful to have his older brother by his side on his big day.
Lauren Hart
Bridesmaid
Lauren is Brian's BEST sister, and Abby lucked out in the sister-in-law department when she met Lauren. Whether it's talking about books, pottery, our dog children, or the happenings in the world, Abby knows she can count on Lauren to have her back. Brian is forever thankful to have a sister who has supported him throughout the years, even if she swore to throw him in the trash can growing up.
Brian Strickland
Best Man
From Beckendorff Junior High, to Seven Lakes football, and University of Oklahoma roommates, Strickland has been a huge part of Brians life. There are simply too many memories to account for. As the years pass and life changes, Brian Strickland shows up for his friends and has remained a constant part of Abby and Brian's life.
Jillian Stewart
Bridesmaid
Abby met Jill when Kyle made the best decision of his life and brought her home to meet the family! Abby and Jill got along from the get-go and they could talk for hours about a good book. Over the years, Abby and Jill have developed a strong friendship and Abby is so thankful she is a part of their big day. Shout out to Abby's Faux Ficus concert buddy.
Kyle Smith
Groomsman
Kyle is Abby's younger brother, and Brian met Kyle almost 9 years ago. It was a sunny day driving in Brian's truck, when out of nowhere, Brian started blasting Fruit Salad by the Wiggles in the car for Kyle to enjoy. As a first impression, Kyle knew he would like this guy. Many beers later, the two have become like brothers in their own right. We are so excited to have Kyle stand by our side.
Taylor Wagner
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Abby go way back. From junior high, to high school, and reconnecting again in college, Abby has many memories with Taylor. Through all of the times of uncertainty, craziness, and happiness college brings, Taylor was always a constant person in Abby's life she could turn to for fun and solid advice. As they enter into this next chapter of adulthood, Abby is certain Taylor will continue to be an unwavering friend.
Casey Gex
Groomsman
Casey and Brian met in Sigma Chi at the University of Oklahoma (boomer sooner!) Brian and Casey experienced their fair share of college shenanigans together, and they continue to make new memories as they live in the same city into their adulthood. Casey is the voice of reason most times, but do not be fooled, he will be ready to party on their big day!
Christine Hart
Bridesmaid
Christine is Brian's sister-in-law and Abby has had the pleasure of getting to know Christine over the last 8 or so years. From family gatherings around the table during holidays, to attending ACL festivals together, Christine has been there for plenty of fun times! Brian is happy to have someone so kind and caring in the family, and Abby is honored to have her as a bridesmaid.
Will Robert
Groomsman
Will is Lauren's boyfriend, and Abby and Brian knew from the start he would fit into their little family group smoothly. Brian and Will share a love for music, guitar, and all things Lord of the Rings. Will is a kind and caring friend, and we have loved getting to know him over the years.
Ivy Desrosiers
Bridesmaid
Abby met Ivy through a mutual friend in 5th grade! Abby and Ivy have gone through many phases of life together: navigating junior high friendships together, establishing new friend groups together in high school, late night sleep overs, haunted houses, boy advice, trips to Austin, and being there for one another during highs and lows. Abby and Ivy have gotten close again since they both live in Katy, and Ivy has welcomed baby Kai into her life with her husband, Kevin. Their friendship, although ever evolving, is a constant relationship in Abby's life. Abby and Brian are thankful to have Ivy by their side on their big day!
Jon Laney
Groomsman
Jon, Brian, and Abby have been going to school together since junior high! While Abby and Jon were great friends in high school, Brian and Jon were fraternity brothers in college. Some of the funniest memories both Abby and Brian have include Jon Laney. Jon will have you cracking up, have your back, and he remembers to send you Chicago-style dip dish pizza on your birthday if you're lucky!
