Wedding Party
Karly Johnson
Maid of Honor
Emily’s little sister, karaoke champion, and the funniest person in the room. She may be younger, taller, and louder, but she’s also the best Maid of Honor Emily could ask for.
Bryer Bollinger
Best Man
Brantly’s lifelong best friend and the one person who probably knows him better than anyone. Whether they’re talking on the phone, working cattle, or hanging out in the barn with Wayne, Bryer has always been there. He’s the definition of a best man.
Jamie Willis
Maid of Honor
Emily and Jamie went to high school together, but since Jamie was in all the “smart classes,” their paths didn’t cross much. After college, when Emily moved back to Wichita, the two reconnected and quickly became inseparable. Five years later, Jamie’s not just an accountant, she’s one of Emily’s closest friends and now standing by her side as Maid of Honor.
Kaden Klim
Groomsman
One of Brantly’s closest friends and someone who’s been around through every season of life. Whether it’s hunting, late-night talks, or just hanging out, Kaden’s always been the guy Brantly can count on.
Christine Caldwell
Bridesmaid
Emily and Christine go way back to high school days, when she, Christine, and Caroline were the ultimate trio. Through the years, Christine has been a constant, always there for deep talks, light chats, and everything in between.
Mason Carr
Groomsman
Mason has been part of countless adventures with Brantly, especially in the woods during hunting season. He’s loyal, dependable, and the kind of friend everyone wants in their corner.
Bailey Swogger
Bridesmaid
Emily’s cousin and childhood partner-in-crime. From rodeos to hiding from Karly and Austin to hosting their very own “family reunions” at GMA’s (where only GMA ever showed up), Emily and Bailey were inseparable growing up. No matter what, the two of them always find a way to make life fun.
Logan Carr
Groomsman
Logan is one of Brantly’s go-to hunting buddies and all-around solid friend. Whether they’re out in the field or just catching up, Brantly can always count on Logan to be there.
Caroline Esquivel
Bridesmaid
Emily and Caroline became friends in Physics 1, and along with her twin Christine, they quickly became inseparable throughout high school. Caroline has always been the kind of friend Emily can count on, whether it’s for laughs, advice, or just catching up on life.
Kellen True
Groomsman
Kellen is the friend who keeps things fun. From hunting trips to everyday life, he’s always ready with a good story, a laugh, or a hand when it’s needed.
Haley Miller
Bridesmaid
Emily’s cousin (mom’s side) and close-in-age sidekick. While they were always around each other growing up, it was as they got older that they became true friends. Now, Emily can’t imagine celebrating this day without her.
Jacob Holem
Groomsman
Jacob is part of Brantly’s hunting crew and one of the guys who makes every trip a good time. He’s steady, reliable, and has been a great friend through it all.
Hannah Woodard
Bridesmaid
Funny enough, Hannah came into Emily’s life through Bryer (Brantly’s best man). But she didn’t stay “just Bryer’s girlfriend” for long. Hannah is the one Emily can call day or night, knowing she’ll be there in a heartbeat. The friendship was instant, real, and one Emily deeply treasures.
Kaleb Cunningham
Groomsman
Another of Brantly’s hunting buddies, but also the friend who’s always up for hanging out at the house. Fun fact: after Emily and Brantly’s housewarming party, Kaleb crashed for the night and ended up watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, a story that still gets brought up to this day.
