Wedding Party

Madison Almquist

Bride

Brett Hockenberry

Groom

Danielle Kenyon

Maid of Honor

Hi!! I'm Danielle, Madie's best friend and Maid of Honor. I met Madie eight years ago when we were both new to our school, and we instantly bonded in class. Shortly after, I met Brett, and both of them have become some of the most important people in my life. Over the years, I've had the privilege of watching Madie and Brett fall in love, and I couldn't be more excited to celebrate this beautiful new chapter with them.

Alec Hockenberry

Best Man

Hi everyone! I'm Alec, Brett's older brother and Best Man. Growing up with Brett I've seen him transform from a daring, brave kid, to a determined, independent man. It's been great having a brother like Brett to share so many memories and experiences with, and who I can always count on to have my back. I'm glad he found someone like Madie to share in his life adventures. They clearly compliment and bring out the best parts of each other. I'm excited to see the life they build together and to be a part of it. I look forward to celebrating their wedding with everybody!

Karley Dry

Bridesmaid

Hi, my name's Karley, Madie's one "dory" blonde friend as half of you may know lol. We met in English class the dang near first day I was there. She had come up and introduced herself, and we instantly became so close. She was beyond sweet, way different than anyone else in the class—very up there, smiley, nice, not all bummed out lol—but besides that, she sat with me at lunch, made me and my little sister Addy feel beyond welcomed, made us feel safe, and she made sure we knew where everything was, etc. Madie was instantly always there for me and the best person ever to have around, someone that truly just always made you smile and made sure you were okay—truly just the kindest soul. I am so excited to see what you two all accomplish together. And Brett, let's just say I knew you guys were gonna get together lol. The guy and girly bestie duo—I mean, come on lol. A girl knew, and as soon as you guys did, you treated that girl better than anything in just a couple weeks into your relationship. I've never seen Madie more happy, and I can see little Madie come out since you've been together. I pray you guys have an amazing new chapter in life, and I am truly so very proud of you both. God bless you guys. I love you, and congratulations!

Groomsman

Brett and I have been best friends since the second grade. He's always been there for me when it mattered most, and he has an incredible gift for bringing joy and laughter into any room. Life is never dull when he's around. I love him like a brother, and I'm genuinely proud of him—both for everything he's accomplished as a person and for this wonderful milestone in his life. I'm thrilled to celebrate this special chapter as he begins the next part of his journey with Madie.

Erin Comly

Mother of the Bride

Hi! I am the VERY honored and VERY proud Mama of the Bride…since God blessed this world with my 1st baby’s presence, it has been a crazy, unpredictable ride. Through life’s ups and downs I have had the opportunity to watch Madison not only prevail, but become a stronger, confident, independent and wiser woman. I find myself in tears many times just in awe of her and all that God is doing in and through her. She has truly been a testament of how God answers a mother’s prayers. As for Brett, he is one LUCKY guy that really did get the “catch” of his life😜. I’m excited and honored to be a part of both of their lives and can’t wait to see where God takes them in this next chapter of life together.
