Briana & Landon
Wedding Party
Paige Piggott
Maid of Honor
Cousin of Bride, but more like a sister. Encouraged Bride to download the dating app that connected her to groom. First to start up a good board/card game at any family event. The social spirit and professionalism of Molly (if she was an engineer) and the wit and comedic timing of Kelli from Insecure. Best person to answer Bride's FaceTime calls during work hours...even if she has to escape to her car to answer.
Kristina Leslie
Matron of Honor
High school bestie of Bride. Met freshman year at basketball tryouts, both made the team and remained teammates all 4 years. Foodie in crime introduced the bride to key HoCo staples: Bill Bateman's, Red Robin, and Pasta Blitz. She's like Annalise Keating if Annalise was able to walk in heels and had ethics. Best person to call to bust a window out your car….because you locked your keys in there.
Amira Streeter
Bridesmaid
Cousin of Bride, but more like a sister. Responsible for introducing and getting the Bride's entire family addicted to Catan. Artist. Dancer. Environmentalist. Sufficient like Samantha; Romantic like Charlotte; Stylish like Carrie. Driven like Miranda. Best person to call for a spontaneous night of adventure that more than likely involves karaoke.
Caitlin Klink
Bridesmaid
High School bestie of Bride. Met in Spanish class, but friendship was built on the varsity bench of basketball and volleyball. HS secrets are contained in a blue notebook that has been missing since 2002? Strong side to Bride’s left side. A better English teacher than Mr. Feeny and way cooler than Mr. Turner. Best person to call for cocktails, cookout and confessionals .
Mahsheed Taeb
Bridesmaid
High School Bestie of Bride. Met through Kristina at Columbia Volleyball Club tryouts. Foodie in crime responsible for Bride's obsession with Chipotle and Cava. I think she's like Dr. Addison Montgomery, but the Bride has never watched an episode of Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice to confirm. Best person to watch SVU marathons with as she has an endless stash of pistachios available.
Monica-Kaye Gamble
Bridesmaid
Sister of Groom. Jet Setter. Adventurer. Negotiator. Family-centered with a heart of gold. She is 6 degrees of separation from anyone you know. Best person to find the depth and substance in any interaction to make that moment magical.
Danarian Brown
Best Man
High school friend of Groom. Met in marching band, where they played the saxophone...badly. He and Groom only practiced the test music, yet ended up 1st and 2nd chair without knowing how to play well. College roommates over the summers. Traveled Europe with Groom over several summers.
Arthur Tai Davis
Groomsman
First friend to Groom when moving to Indianapolis. High school and college school mates. Housemates. Fraternity brother and Dean. When teacher introduced Groom as the new student at school and asked for a volunteer to show him around, Tai’s hand shot right up. Teacher assured Groom if Tai is showing him around, he was in good hands and skipped the formal tour. At the end of class, Tai was nowhere to be found. They bumped into each other later that week and became quick friends. Tai is an entrepreneur and father expanding his small business across several states in the Midwest. He has still not given the Groom that promised high school tour.
Phil Thomas
Groomsman
High school friend of Groom. Fraternity brother. Has the same birthday as the Groom's mother. Every holiday until this day, Philip checks in on our family with well wishes. A people's person and man of God. Able to captivate and win over any crowd.
Chris Stephenson
Groomsman
Older Brother of Bride. First family member to virtually meet Groom. Coached younger siblings through their short-lived basketball and soccer careers. His literary taste is as diverse and eclectic as his music taste. A fount of information who is always good for interesting conversation.
Jonathan Stephenson
Groomsman
Little Brother of Bride. Debatably best footy skills of his siblings. Controversial Arsenal fan. The intuitive observer with a big heart. The peacekeeper who can quell any sibling beef on sight.
Gavin Stephenson
Groomsman
Baby brother of Bride. Chelsea fan. Unapologetic, die hard Celtics fan even though he has never lived or resided anywhere near the Boston/New England area. Empathic extrovert with bookworm tendencies. Most likely to be the first to hit the dance floor at the reception.
Lauren Cross
Flower Girl
"Spec" Sorority sister of Bride. First descendent of the Xi Tau RAT pack. Roommates while living in DC and promised to never live with anyone else again unless they became our spouse. Demanded dibs on flower girl position in 2011. Often mistaken as bride’s twin/sister. Ghost editor of Bride for papers, press releases, and general emails. Best person to call and not pick up but text you immediately after it stops ringing.
Elijah Stephenson
Ring Bearer
Nephew of Bride. Music savant. Hands-on learner. Charismatic. curious, and very ticklish. Personal style icons: Bobby Axelrod and Jeremy Roy
Kenny Williams
Honor Attendant
High school friend of Groom. Fraternity brother. Roommate. Confidant. After Groom broke his leg wrestling his sister's boyfriend junior year, Kenny volunteered to help wheel him around...way too fast for safety. The two often would skip out during lunch hour by bribing the security guard with the promise of McDonald's french fries on their return. A self made man that brings crowds together.
