Wedding Party
Jill Helton
Matron of Honor
Jill and Kalyn have been best friends for going on 9 years! They met in the military in the same unit that Kalyn and Blake met in. Jill has in many ways become more than just a best friend to Kalyn and even flew all the way to Texas to visit during Kalyn's military leave. Jill helped Kalyn finish her first Spartan Race, helped write a resume for Kalyn's first nursing job, and has always pushed Kalyn to be the best woman she can be.
Ryan Duncan
Best Man
Blake's older brother! Too many stories to share here. Ryan and Blake are each others go to’s for everything! Football games, UFC fights, and bourbon tastings can keep these two occupied for a lifetime!
Sierra Agnew
Maid of Honor
Sierra is Kalyn's childhood and longest best friend of going on 20+ years now! Sierra practically lived with Kalyn growing up, even having her own top bunk in Kalyn's room, and has literally watched and helped Kalyn grow into the woman she is today. There wasn't a time growing up where if you saw Kalyn, you could guarantee you'd see Sierra too.
Tyler Huff
Groomsman
Tyler and Blake have been friends since high school. They were on the soccer team and ski club together at Silver Creek High School. After high school they both shared experiences in the Indiana Army National Guard and later became roommates. Tyler and Blake worked together for over 6 years in the automotive industry. Together they’ve wasted more money on car parts than should be spoken of.
Destiney Brown
Bridesmaid
Kalyn and Destiney also met in the military and deployed together to Afghanistan in 2013. After deployment, they both were assigned to Delta Co where their friendship continued. There is never a dull moment when Destiney is around. She is always there for Kalyn and is the friend you count on to hide a body with you (:
Cody Rice
Groomsman
Cody and Blake met in high school. They were on the soccer team and ski club together. Over the years they’ve kept up attending auto performance shows and events, shooting pool, and making the most out of simple times spent together. They tried a few times to work together, but just like high school teachers, managers thought it was best they be separated!
Lori Etienne
Bridesmaid
Lori is one of Kalyn's first friends she made while in nursing school. They were paired together in their first class learning to do head-to-toe assessments on each other and have been friends ever since! Lori helped Kalyn survive nursing school and was there to celebrate when Kalyn had to graduate early due to her second deployment. Kalyn was a bridesmaid in Lori's wedding, and now Lori gets to be one of hers!
Ragan Shirrell
Groomsman
Ragan and Blake met while working at Tire Discounters. Ragan is a Louisville native and introduced Blake to all the best bars in Louisville on his 21st birthday. Through concerts, kayaking, hiking, and nights out there’s no shortage of memories to be shared!
Ashlyn Alumbaugh
Bridesmaid
Ashlyn is also one of Kalyn's best friends from nursing school and was there for Kalyn through all the ups and downs of nursing school. Ashlyn is always down to adventure with Kalyn, including a drunken kayak trip, and was also there to celebrate when Kalyn graduated college a semester early. Anytime Kalyn needs guacamole and margarita, she knows to call Ashlyn!
Devin Hausauer
Groomsman
Devin and Blake met in the Indiana Army National Guard at the 113th FSC in Scottsburg, Indiana. They served together as wheeled vehicle mechanics and shared time outside of drill weekends working on cars. They made trouble in the E4 mafia before Blake went to the darkside as an NCO.
