WE ARE SO EXCITED TO SHARE THIS DAY WITH YOU! — XOXO MR. + MRS. BUDD

Wedding Party

Alright, y’all. It’s time to meet the real stars of this show—our Wedding Party. These are the people who’ve been with us through thick and thin. These are the ride-or-dies, the group chat warriors, the ultimate hype squad. They’ve seen us ugly cry, laugh so hard we snorted, and somehow still agreed to stand next to us on the biggest day of our lives. Bless their hearts. Honestly, we wouldn’t be here without them… Meet the party!

Aine McKinney

Chief Bridesmaid

Aine and I crossed paths a few years ago, and let me tell you, our introduction was straight out of a rom-com. The second she spoke and that Irish accent hit my ears, I was like, “Yup, this one’s a keeper.” Little did I know she’d become my twin flame, my soul sister, and my ride-or-die bestie. From adventures around the world to being each other’s rock, we’ve built a bond that’s pure magic. And now, she’ll be standing beside me on one of the biggest days of my life. Ladies and gentlemen, my Chief Bridesmaid and forever partner in crime, Aine!


Sarah Plessinger

Maid of Honor

Sarah and I technically met way back in PreK, but let’s be real—our friendship didn’t officially kick off until senior year math class. That’s the moment we truly clicked, and from that day on, I gained a solid rock, a sister, and a friend I honestly can’t imagine life without. She’s been there through it all, and I’m endlessly grateful for her. So of course, it only makes sense that she’ll be standing beside me as my Maid of Honor. Let’s hear it for Sarah #2 from The Sarahs, SARAH! (Yeah, our high school friends called us 'The Sarahs')

Jessica Stokes

Matron of Honor

Jess and I go way back — almost 10 years, all the way to our days at The Express. From day one, she’s been the real deal. Tough when it counts, honest in the best way, and always the first to show up for her people. She’s the kind of teammate you want in every season of life — steady, loyal, and all ears. If you don’t know her yet, do yourself a favor and fix that. And if you can’t find her? She’s probably front row at a concert. Ladies and gentlemen, the rockstar herself — Jess.


Liz Kremser

Lady of Honor

Now, may I introduce the incomparable Liz! We met at work a few years ago, but let’s be real — some friendships are just written in the stars. Liz met me first, but it didn’t take long for her to become essential to both Eric and me. She had front-row seats to our entire love story — the first date, the dating era, and every tiny moment in between — so yes, she’s basically our official historian. She’s been our A1 since day one, and we truly couldn’t imagine this chapter without her. Make some noise for the one, the only — Liz!

The Girls

Flower Girl

Skylar, Scarlett, and Sydney may be tiny, but their impact on our lives has been huge. They’ve become family in every way that matters. Skylar, now she has an important job...she's in charge of Penny. And Scarlett and Sydney, our adorable Flower Girls, will be spreading petals and stealing hearts as they make their way down the aisle. We’re so lucky to have these three adding love, laughter, and a whole lot of cuteness to our big day!


Andrew, Nate, + Yeggy

The Groomsmen

Let me introduce Eric’s crew: Andrew, Yeggy, and Nate—the ultimate trifecta of brains, banter, and brotherhood. These guys go way back to their Penn Tech days, where friendships were forged over late-night gaming marathons, programming puzzles, DnD campaigns, and deep dives into politics, science, history, and sports. There’s never a dull moment with this crew—they’re sharp, hilarious, and always up for a good time. These legends will be standing beside Eric on the big day, and honestly, it wouldn’t be the same without them. Give it up for the Nerds, I mean Groomsmen!
