Taryn & Austin
Wedding Party
Tori Wilcoxson
Maid of Honor
Tori is my one true best friend. She always knows exactly what to say or do. Even though since Austin & my engagement she’s been living in California, she has been the BEST Maid of Honor a bride could ask for. I couldn’t ask for a better sister, and I can’t wait for her to stand by my side on my wedding day.
Emery Bennett
Bridesmaid
Emery and I became instant best friends on the very first day of nursing school and since then we have been inseperable. Who would've thoguht that through two miserable years of nursing school would bring me the blessing of a lifelong friend? To say I'm grateful for Emery would be such an understatement. She also is extra amazing because she is a mommy to my precious flower girl, miss Hadley. A beautiful full-time nurse and mom? Impressive I know.
Anakaren Garcia
Bridesmaid
Anakaren, the super beautiful girl that started out as a rookie sister on the Houston Texans Cheerleading team and very quickly turned into one of my best friends. Whether we're grabbing lunch, shopping, or at practice its always a great time and I can't imagine my wedding day without her by my side.
Marisa Britt
Bridesmaid
The older sister to Austin, now another sister to love for me! Marisa is such a blessing - I don’t think I could’ve picked a better [future] sister-in-law.
Mallory Moore
Bridesmaid
Mallory and I became such good friends pretty quickly after finding out we have the same sense of humor. She is always making my day better with some sort of comment and I know my wedding day will be full of memorable moments with her there!
Brandon Britt
Best Man
Austin's older brother and role model since his childhood, Brandon was a no-brainer when it came to the decision of Best Man. He's always there for advice, a good laugh, and we already know his Best Man speech is going to be one for the books!
Reynaldo Guerra
Groomsman
Rey earned his spot as a groomsman before we even started dating. He asked us if were dating in front of Austin's entire family...we were NOT dating at the time - were were close though. He was surprised when we said we weren't dating and proceeded to say "Oh, well she must be special because I've never seen him treat another girl like you". So, I guess you could say Rey knew we were meant to be even before we did.
Cris Sachez
Groomsman
A person who never fails at being the life of the party and recent newlywed himself, Austin couldn't think of a better person to include in his guy gang. Cris may live in Washington state, but when he and Austin meet up, its like they haven't been apart.
Jason Kifer
Groomsman
A cop, father of 2 (soon to be 3), mentor to Austin and Taryn, and fellow SWAT family! Jason earns bonus points in Taryn’s book because he’s married to an ER nurse too - he clearly knows what’s up and that just makes us love him more!
Andrew Ives
Groomsman
It’s the cops, EVERYBODY RUN! Just kidding, Ives, as we call him and Austin go way back. They began their careers together at the police department simultaneously and since then, they’ve only gotten closer. Andrew is a newly wed and is anxiously waiting the arrival of their first bundle of joy!
Hadley Bennett
Flower Girl
Hadley is the daughter of Bridesmaid Emery. Miss Hadley has made Taryn (and Austin) just as happy as Emery has since day one. When she was asked to be the flower girl, she let us know she had experience and she had PLENTY of dress options to wear. She didn't want to throw petals because she's been there and done that! Y'all be prepared to see the cutest, most experienced flower girl you've ever seen.
Aiden Perez
Ring Bearer
This boy loves all things fire trucks, legos, and Uncle B (Austin’s brother) but, he’s warmed up to Austin and I nicely and our wedding wouldn’t be the same without him!
Thomas Einkauf
Ring Bearer
Thomas surprised us all when he said “yes!” to being one of our ring bearers - his favorite word is often, no. This cute little cowboy loves holding his toy tractors and we just can’t wait to see him holding our wedding bands!
