Bride

Brandon Coffey

Groom

Emily Smith

Maid of Honor

Hi, I’m Emily! I’m Jackie’s cousin on her dad’s side of the family, but I bet you’d never guess it because we look nothing alike. I have known Jackie for my whole life and I had the pleasure of meeting Brandon on a family vacation that he came on. I am so excited to see what’s in store for their married life and I’m so honored to be part of their special day!

Eric Boysen

Best Man

Hi, I'm Eric! I’ve known Brandon and Jackie since the first week we started college together and the very start of their time together! Moments big and small - from late night studying to cooking Thanksgiving dinners or just watching some anime together - were all a joy. Even now that we aren’t across the apartment or down the street from one another, I’m still glad to call both of them some of my best friends and the kindest people I know. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next phase of their life together, because the opening chapter has been amazing!

Jessica Paredes

Bridesmaid

Hi, I’m Jessica! I am Jackie’s cousin from her mom’s side of the family. We grew up together, playing games and watching movies at our grandparents’ home. I may not know Brandon very well but it’s obvious to me how much they love and care about each other. I’m so excited to support her on her special day!

Thomas Garza

Groomsman

Hello my name is Thomas and I am Jackie’s younger brother. I grew up knowing Jackie just as my older sister. We were family but I didn’t often get to see her in a different setting. As she went to college I noticed how she was changing and finding herself. Which was nice to see and that’s where she met Brandon. And that is when I met Brandon. I never really spent much time thinking what Jackie’s significance would be like but once I met Brandon it was all so clear. I’m very happy to be a part of this celebration of love.

Katherine Cambell Moore

Bridesmaid

Hi, I'm Katherine! I was Jackie's roommate in our freshman year of college, and she's still one of my best and closest friends. I had the honor of seeing Jackie and Brandon's relationship blossom from the very beginning. I love them so much!!

Kyle Coffey

Groomsman

I am Brandon’s brother, so I have known him since he was born. I met Jackie after they were dating for a little while, and got to know her well while I lived with Brandon a year or two ago. I am excited to see both of them happy and am rooting for them as they go on to take on life’s challenges together!

Kennedye Harris

Bridesmaid

Howdy, I’m Kennedye! Jackie and I met in middle school, and we have spent over a decade delighted by the paths we’ve seen each other going down. I couldn’t be more proud to support her and Brandon in joining their journeys together. I love you!

Nick Crowder

Groomsman

Hi, I'm Nick. I met Brandon on the first day of freshman move-in at UTD as we eagerly awaited our RA. Over time, our friend group expanded to include Jackie, and we all spent time hanging out and studying together. Brandon and Jackie even joined me for a long weekend trip back to my hometown for my birthday. Now, Brandon and I live together while he and Jackie plan their wedding. I truly value both of them and consider them a blessing in my life.

Ren D'Angelo

Bridesmaid

Hey, I'm Ren, Jackie's friend from college and current roommate. I lived on the same floor as Jackie and Brandon in college, though we didn't become close friends until later on (I even deleted Brandon's contact at one point due to how infrequently we spoke - I have it now). I'm excited for both of them as they navigate their lives together!

Andrew Clarke

Groomsman

Literally some of the best people I’ve come to know being alive for the short amount of time that I have. I met Jackie and Brandon before they started dating, in the midst of the chaos that was freshman year of college. We lived on the same floor and hung out with each other all the time, and that led to us practically living together for nearly three years after that. All the while, we shared laughter, advice, meals, classes, and good times. I will always remember how we’d each be working in our rooms and we’d just get up and go see what the others were doing and our “short breaks” would end up turning into hours of talking. Those were the best nights. I’m happy that I got to see the start of their journey together, and I’m eager to see what’s in store for them as they continue this funny thing called life.
