The Family
Dan & Stacy
Parents of The Bride
These two have been married for an unbelievable 43 years. They have mastered the art of being in 5 places at once and helping ALL of us with literally everything and anything. They’re the heart and soul of the family, completely devoted to their children and grandchildren. Whether it’s cheering from the sidelines or being a shoulder to cry on, we can always count on them. They’ve built a legacy of kindness and fun family traditions.
Stan & Jenny
Parents of The Groom
They have also been married for an incredible 43 years and are living life to the fullest. These two are always going on an adventure and inviting us to join, which makes our life so much fun! They show up for us in ways we could never repay, from as small as borrowing a car to as big as working on home projects. They've built a legacy of generosity and unconditional love that touches everyone lucky enough to know them.
Shay
Maid of Honor
Kate's sister-in-law, who is impossible not to love; she’s the kind of person who lights up a room with her signature warmth and kindness. She is the sister Kate always wanted, and their bond will never be broken. She has been there for all of Kate’s major milestones, through the highs, the lows, and everything in between. She is the ultimate ride-or-die! Fun fact: Shay and Ryan’s first kiss happened at Bennett’s home 19 years ago (making him an unofficial cupid in their love story). Fast forward nearly two decades, Shay and Ryan have built a life together that serves as a reminder of how true love stands the test of time.
Adam
Best Man
Adam is Bennett’s younger brother, and if there’s anyone who’s got the full catalog of Bennett’s dirty secrets, it’s this guy. Adam and Bennett aren't that alike, but they're brothers with a deep bond. With a degree in digital media and a passion for sound and music, he’s the life of any party, and trust me, his parties are legendary. Whether he’s spinning tunes or fire, Adam’s the guy everyone calls for fun, laughter, and a little mischief.
Ryan
Groomsman
Kate’s brother, who everyone loves, is one of a kind! He is the fun-loving, cool, football AND soccer dad. Whether he’s cracking jokes or leaving us all in happy tears, he’s the guy who always has a wild story up his sleeve, half of which sounds too outrageous to be true, but somehow always is. Fun fact: The bride and groom met through him, and we’re forever grateful for the love we found because of him. Bennett is excited to have an old friend be his brother-in-law. We love you Ry!!
Kaelee
Bridesmaid
Kaelee is not only a bridesmaid but Adam’s girlfriend. She is the perfect match for Adam, balancing his party-loving, music-spinning energy with her own warmth and hula-hooping skills. She has welcomed Kate into the family with open arms and has taken her under her wing. She is a devoted friend, sister, daughter, and partner who always seems to know just what to say or do to make you feel special. She has a genuine soul and is the ultimate cheerleader!
Presley
Bridesmaid
Kate’s niece, who we absolutely adore. She’s beautiful and kind and has no idea just how incredible she is, inside and out! She has a quiet confidence that inspires everyone around her. Kate is honored to have her favorite niece standing beside her on this special day.
Dixon
Usher
This little stud is the coolest kid on the block. He is a total rock star in everything he does; whether he’s killing it on the football field or slaying it at the skatepark, he gives it his all and makes us proud every single day. We are so lucky to have our favorite nephew be a part of our big day!
Dexter & Teddy
The Bestest Boys
We can always count on them to make us feel better at the end of a long day. We are grateful for the endless kisses, cuddles, and the pure joy they bring to our lives just by simply existing. They love basking in the sun, digging holes, eating things they shouldn’t, and chasing squirrels. They are our fishing and hunting buddies, who are always down for anything; no questions asked; you will likely find them waiting for us in the truck for the next big adventure.
