Bride
Do I need a description? I’m the bride :)
Groom
No description needed...he’s the groom.. :)
Maid of Honor
Kyra has been my built in best friend since I was 4.5 months old! Being my cousin and living together for some of our lives she turned into be more like my sister. We’ve gone through so much together and have pretty similar personalities! We may not always get along but at the end of the day she’s definitely one of my favorite people on the Earth. She’s such a fun spirit to have around and knows how to make anyone laugh! Very thankful I have her by my side to help me through every step of Ryan and I’s big day!
Best Man
Anthony and Ryan (RJ) have been friends since 6th grade! Playing video games and doing other weird boy things! These two have grown into brothers! Anthony’s amazing family even took Ryan (RJ) in and gave him a home in Ohio for him to stay and go to college. As they’ve grown up together they’re still pretty close. Ryan (RJ) couldn’t of picked someone better to be by his side on his wedding day (and those are his words!) Anthony is such a gentleman and knows how to light up a room with his goofy and social personality. He’s the most trusting and honest guy I’ve ever met and we are both incredibly thankful to have him included in our big day!
Bridesmaid
Jalyn and I have known each other since 3rd grade and after reuniting junior year in Pre-Nursing classes we’ve become best friends. While we may not talk 24/7 shes someone I know I can count on whenever I need someone. Jalyns been there for me all hours of the night, given me a place to stay when I needed, gave me a shoulder to cry on when life got too stressful, and was by my side when I took my state test for my STNA cheering me on. Jalyn has such a goofy and fun loving side to her that not many people know about, it’s what I love most about her. She seems super tough and while she can be when needed, she’s a total nut sometimes and always knows how to make me laugh. I’m so thankful to have her with me on this special day!
Groomsman
Andy is one of Ryan (RJ's) 4 older brothers. When Ryan (RJ) popped the question, it was pretty instant that he wanted his older brother Andy to be beside him on his wedding day. Andy and his wife have been there for the two of us since day one! Constantly giving advice, and leading us both in the right direction. Ryan (RJ) looks up to Andy a lot and even though neither of them are super talkative, social butterflies they both know how to have a good time over some pool, some snacks, and a couple jokes here and there. We are so blessed to have someone as selfless and kind as Andy in our wedding party!
Groomsman
Ryan is Anthony (the best mans) little brother. RJ really loved the idea of having both the Kepner boys in the wedding as he considers them his own brothers! We are both so excited to have Ryan in our wedding party because, like his older and younger siblings, he has an energy about him you just can't help but love! He has such a care free and fun personality, and could have a future in comedy! I know for sure he will make a great addition to the groomsmen team! We can't wait to have Ryan next to us when we tie the knot!
Bridesmaid
Chloe was one of my first choices for a bridesmaid! While I haven’t known her long, she’s been nothing but an angel to me! Ryan (RJ) looks at her like a little sister and it was important to both of us she was apart of our day. Chloe is in a way just like her older brother Anthony, with her super goofy personality (when she opens up of course) and has the biggest heart I’ve ever met in such a young girl. Chloe inspires me on a daily to venture out of my comfort zone, and it amazes me how smart and creative she is! When I asked Chloe she was very excited and as the the day gets closer and closer I cannot wait to see her all dolled up and being there standing beside me!
Flower Girl
Funny, smart, creative, brave, Emma! I met Emma shortly before her birthday party one year and she was the most outgoing child I’ve ever met! Not a shy bone in her when I met her! She is so welcoming to everyone she meets and is full of compassion. Emma gives some of the best hugs I’ve ever received and knows the perfect way to make you laugh! She’s very artistic and has a spunky attitude to her that you just can’t forget! It reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger! I’m excited to have Emma help me with some last minute decisions and to help keep everyone in line on the wedding day!
Ring Bearer
Asher! Asher is my step brother, and while we may not be blood I would do absolutely anything for this little boy. Asher always knows how to brighten up my day without even knowing it! He’s incredibly smart for a 5 year old and amazes me everyday with how much he knows and can remember. I always begged my mom for a younger sibling and when Asher came into the picture, I was 15 and took the big sister role VERY seriously. Now this adorable little 5 year old Is my best friend and of course when he’s not spending time with me when I see him he’s constantly beating up on Ryan (RJ or as Asher calls him Reggie)! I’m absolutely thrilled to have my baby brother apart of my special day!
Father of the Bride
While we may not be related through blood this is the man that raised me and made me into who I am today. My dad is such an inspiration to me and has shown me that giving up is never an option. We don’t have that normal father daughter relationship and I’m excited to see how the walking down the isle and father daughter dance goes, but even if it’s super awkward and not like us at all I’m very thankful to have someone who stepped up to the plate to be my father and walk me down the isle.
Mother of the Bride
Mammy! My twin and the strong amazing woman that taught me just about everything I know! While she asked specifically to “stay on the side lines and cry” on our wedding day she’s still a HUGE part of it all! We couldn’t do this without her and all of her help! Both Reggie (as my mom calls him too not just Asher) and I are super thankful to have someone to loving and selfless to help us through just about everything. The guidance given to anyone from my mom is some of the best I’ve ever heard! She has such an amazing personality and knows just how to keep me calm (I’m gonna need that through planning and keeping my nerves chill during the wedding) I’m very thankful to have the mammy that I do and we both love her tons!
Mother of the Groom
Jackie is someone God puts in your life for a reason. She’s full of life lessons and hardship to make you feel like you’re not alone in anything. She’s very goofy and knows how to crack some of the best jokes around. Jackie is always up for an adventure...literally always she broke her toe and shattered some bones and still went to the aquarium!! I love to learn more about Jackie each time we get to talk. Ryan (RJ) and I both know she’ll be crying but we can’t wait to share our day with her!
Father of the Bride
Good ole’ Ronnie! Obviously, this is Ryan (RJ’s) dad! This is someone both myself and Ryan (RJ) look up too a lot. He’s a very selfless man who can give some of the best advice you could get. Ronnie is someone you can talk to about anything and he will help you the best he can without any judgement. After living with him for a couple months he’s definitely the best person to enjoy a good morning cup of coffee with and talk about your plans for the day as the sun rises. I’m thankful to have such a great father-in-law. Ryan (RJ) and I can’t wait to have you with us to celebrate our big day.
