Ellyn Felton

Honor Attendant

Coming all the way from New Mexico, the friend that seems like she is never far. Ellyn and Bailey met at Wartburg but grew up only 15 minutes from each other. Now forever bonded in river floats and Taylor Swift, I am just so excited she could make it home for me.

Lillian is the bride's baby sister. Though they have not always seen eye to eye, they have grown closer as adults. Lillian is actually the reason Chris decided to propose...
