Wedding Party
Kayla Zurenko
Matron of Honor
This is Kayla, my Matron of Honor, aka my older sister, aka my go-to for literally EVERYTHING!! She’s been my ride-or-die through literally everything and has never, ever judged me. From those early morning cheer competition hair-dos to sneaking her over to do my hair and take pictures (long story, trust me) before my mom’s oldest daughter came over, she’s had my back. She even trusted me with her babies when I was unemployed—seriously, who else would do that? She’s been there through break-ups, divorces, and the time she stalked my location and picked me up outside of LaPlata’s Walmart when I really shouldn’t have been anywhere near Charles County (oops). She taught me that our lives are like shoes—same shoes, just different colors. And now? She’s my personal FBI investigator, nurse, best friend, and the world’s greatest Aunt to Maverick! Honestly, I wouldn’t be the woman I am without her life lessons, constant support, and unwavering love. Kayla, you’re a rockstar, and I’m beyond lucky to have you as my sister and best friend.
Kayla Stackhouse
Bridesmaid
This is Kayla, my very best friend of 10 years! We met back in 2014 in EMT class and, let me tell you, we've been inseparable ever since (well, except for that little Army detour of hers). We’ve been through so much together—our bond is unreal. For a while, we were attached at the hip (I’m talking so close that people seriously thought we were a couple)! From our midnight parking lot jam sessions to those random Walmart trips and skipping school to hang out at the mall—literally everything in between, she was my right hand. Then, she went off to join the Army and met the love of her life, but even with all the change, our friendship never skipped a beat. We still have our weekly/bi-weekly FaceTime calls. Even with miles between us, she’s always there for me. I can’t imagine my life without her goofy, fun-loving self always keeping me on my toes! And here's the real kicker—Maverick is obsessed with her. He’ll only sit with her on FaceTime and laugh like a maniac! He absolutely loves his Aunt K!
Jacob Barksdale
Best Man
This is Jacob. I’ve known him for 10 years, and let me tell you, we’ve been through it all. From making terrible choices to making life-changing decisions, he’s always been by my side. We could go months without talking, and then out of nowhere, there’s a random phone call—and just like that, one of us is there for the other. He’s more than just my best man—he’s family.
Jesse Gates
Groomsman
This is Jesse. If I could have two best men, I absolutely would. I’ve known Jesse for 10 years, and we’ve been through it all. From living together to me completely changing my diet to gluten-free just to make dinner easier for him—seriously, the guy deserves a medal! I honestly don’t know where I’d be in life without him. He’s been there for the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
