Laura Anne & Ryan Francis
Wedding Party
Eric Dunbar
Best Man
Eric has been my best friend since we were 4 years old and in the First grade. We have come a long way from being obnoxiously riding bikes around Paola to now doing multiple cross-country road trips, having matching leg tattoos, cutting Eric's hoodie off, and thousands of other stories. We can go months and rarely talk to hoping on a plane and helping each other move to a different state. It is truly an honor to have Eric as my Best Man.
Darcy Barry
Maid of Honor
If you were to ask me about our relationship 10 years ago my response would be, Darcy and I are quite close, in age that is. Darcy is my oldest sister and basically built in teammate. We grew up playing all the sports but both fell in love with volleyball! Once we went to college we started to become more of friends then just sisters. We have countless memories including concerts, road trips, traveling, etc. I couldn’t be more proud of Darcy for pursing her passions and chasing her dreams. I m truly blessed to have her standing up there next me!
Matt Kelly
Groomsman
I was 8 when you left for college and started your life, so I don't have many childhood memories except when helping you out with business ideas. Being the little brother has let me watch you grow into the man you are today. Thank you for being there all the time and I am honored to have you stand with me.
Maddy Tejral
Matron of Honor
Maddy and I been friends for what seems like forever. We met at the Saunders County Fair, unfortunately neither of us can really remember how or when we met but the fair was our gig! We stayed down there every year since, to take care of our show animals and then stay up all night back in the campers! A lot of our memories always end with some late night ice cream on the couch and I wouldn’t trade it for the world! Maddy is one of those friends that we can always pick up where we left off, no matter how much time has lapsed. I am truly thankful for our friendship and blessed to have her in my corner.
Kyle Kelly
Groomsman
Favorite memory? The time you threw a small teddy bear magnet at the sliding glass window and it shattered. Or even the time you "let me drive" and I ended up swerving and chasing a squirrel off the road. Good times, good times. We had many more laughs throughout our childhood.
Baylee Strachan
Bridesmaid
I told my self that after I graduated college I would never ever ask Baylee for a workout again! Baylee was on my coaching staff in college and also worked hand and hand with the trainer. Needless to say her workouts were never fun in the moment, but the following summer I strived to improve and I knew Baylee would help. She became my personal trainer but over time also a friend! We bonded over the hardships of being a collegiate athlete, consistently dying our hair different colors and just being that blunt person! I am truly thankful how far our friendship has grown and over joyed to have her standing by my side!
Jonathan Kelly
Groomsman
The brother that I always went head-to-head with. The great battle of KU vs. K-State, shotgun vs. back seat (every time I ended in the back seat), Navy vs. Air Force (obviously we know it's Air Force). We have gone from not seeing each other in person for a couple of years, while living different lives in different parts of the world to now being able to celebrate together in person for the special day. I am so happy to have Jonathan stand next to me for the wedding.
Sydney Murray
Bridesmaid
Sydney and I always joke that it is Cole’s (her husband) fault we weren’t introduced sooner. We officially met through her husband at a work holiday party and bonded instantly. Sydney is always the one down for any adventure and of course a really good margarita! I am truly honored to have her standing next to me on my special day!
