Brianna & Mitch
Wedding Party
Lenna Bordes
Matron of Honor
Brianna's "only sista" Lenna asked Santa for a little sister for Christmas of 1995. When Brianna was born in April of 1996, Lenna quickly asked Santa to take her back. Lenna is one of the most thoughtful, caring people you'll ever meet and she wears her heart on her sleeve. If you find yourself at the bar and can't find Lenna, don't stress. She is 100% on stage gettin' low and flopping her elbows around (dancing). If she's not on stage, she is on any raised surface she can find. Flashback to Brianna's graduation night: Lenna and B were dancing on stage when a security guard walked toward them. Lenna, of course, thought he was complementing her moves and admiring her lip syncing, when in fact, he was kicking her off stage and telling her to drop the microphone. Round 2 in Mexico!!!
Izzie Dao
Bridesmaid
Tookie Master Where Izzie is, Brianna is with her laughing obnoxiously. When Izzie was grounded in high school, so was Brianna. They truly are a match made in heaven<3 Izzie and Brianna carpooled together from 8th grade-Senior year at Dominican. What started off as "Mom do I really have to carpool with that girl?" turned into the very best, silly friendship. Allen brought them to school every day for eighth grade in his three seater pick up truck. This left Brianna sitting in the middle of Allen and Izzie every single morning wondering which one didn't brush their teeth that day. It took a few months for Izzie and Brianna to warm up to each other, but once they did, they were inseparable ;'-) Brianna is #thankful&#blessed to have a friend like Izzie on the same maturity level as her
Lauren Artigues
Bridesmaid
LAUNNN Lauren and Brianna have been best friends since 8th grade at Dominican. Brianna wanted to be her friend sooo bad and was PUMPED when Lauren invited her to City Park for a school fair !! Their obsession with Taylor Swift and making fun of Audrey was the foundation for the perfect friendship. Lauren has always been Brianna's go to person for boy advice and all of that advice led Brianna right to Mitch ;) If you ever want to sing at the top of your lungs with someone on a drive, Lauren is your girl. If you are craving a gourmet healthy meal and you can only cook scrambled eggs, Lauren is your girl again!! Lauren <3333 Tuna and I <3333 Lauren
Audrey Britsch
Bridesmaid
Aud AKA Plankton Audrey and Brianna have been best friends since 8th grade at Dominican when Brianna realized Audrey and Lauren came as a package deal. This quickly led to Audrey, Lauren, Izzie, and Brianna becoming inseparable and FU4. In high school, if three of the four of them were walking around, the teachers would ask where the fourth person was. Audrey is a true babe and is always down to have a good time. Brianna and Audrey talk on the phone at least twice a week and do not ever hang up without saying I love you!! She is a great listener and an even better dancer/singer! If anyone wants to see a video she sent me in 8th grade of her dancing to Chris Brown hit me up ;)

KUNTRY Callie is Brianna's Kuntry Bumpkin Callie and Brianna met in Dental Hygiene school and have been besties ever since!

Gabi Lang
Bridesmaid
Young Gabz Gabi is Brianna’s future sister-in-law :) #LangzFoLyfe Their friendship started with drinking too many white claws on the islands and chatting non-stop about life and of course how weird Josh is....The friendship grew even stronger at YMBC where they supposedly had a blast and danced on stage all night long. Ahhhhh good times She has made Brianna and Mitch the HAPPIEST couple by asking them to be sweet Scott Beckett's AKA Beckito's godparents. Brianna is so happy to have Gabi in her life and at every family function for the rest of time!!
Taylor Lawrence
Bridesmaid
Tay Taylor is Mitch's older cousin and has become Brianna's second older sister :,-) Since Brianna met Taylor, their bond was unbreakable. They now text every day about Taylor Swift, Real Housewives, The Bachelor, Married at First Sight, Love is Blind, life itself, and of course the best conversations they have obvi revolve around Mitch and her boyfriend Gary If anyone wants to see her sing and dance to "A Little Bit Alexis" from Schitt's Creek she will perform and she WILL deliver Brianna is SO thankful to have gained such an amazing friend/sister in Taylor
Morgan Doll
Bridesmaid
MOWGANN Morgan and Brianna's friendship all started at Super Bulldog Weekend at Mississippi State and let's just say it was a weekend to remember Morgan quickly became Brianna's best friend and has been a part of Brianna and Mitch's relationship since the day they met :-') Most importantly, she is the originator of #HePutALangOnIt. Morgan came up with this hashtag in the car about 3 weeks after Brianna met Mitch and they knew they would use it ever since. Brianna and Morgan can literally talk for hours and have the best conversations about anything and everything :)
Bay Lawrence
Best Man
Bae Mitch's cousin and future malpractice lawyer. 6 months and 1 day after Bay graced us with his presence in this world, his favorite person was born. Since then, they have achieved great success in a broad range of fields. They envisioned & co-created the world renowned sports of Ackle and Paddle Pocket. They performed ancient ritual burials & exhumations of GI Joes and other action figures. In just the 3rd grade, they started digging a hole to China, their efforts ruined only due to a harsh rainy season. Bay has and always will be a smooth talker, often getting himself and his friends out of trouble within minutes of getting into it. This skill will certainly be useful as Mitch's lawyer. He's a great cousin, a great friend, and (hopefully) will be a great best man.
Josh Lang
Groomsman
Joshy D / Wanna-be-Spiderman Josh was born for his role as the eldest Lang brother. His friendliness and street cred helped get Mitch and James through grade school and to where they are now. A true hero, Josh made sure that he and his friends were the only ones to bully and make fun of Mitch so that nobody else could. For example: James, Josh, and his friend Brad would throw Mitch in the bushes after church, thus a beautiful Sunday tradition was born. Josh and his wife Gabi are the parents of Mitch and Bri's favorite humans on earth (besides each other) - Jackson and Beckett Lang. Josh is a great friend and will give you the shirt off his back out of kindness, not just to show off his abs. He's officially tied with James for the 2nd most attractive Lang brother.
James Lang
Groomsman
The World's Best Speller James was the involuntary third wheel to Mitch and Bri at Mississippi State for a good two years. When Bri had car trouble, did she call Mitch? Absolutely not. She called James, as any sane person would. James is a modern day Renaissance man. Need to fix your boat? James has you covered. Need a random part of your car fixed? James can do it. Need to see a world record for shotgunning a beer? James will absolutely deliver. Need help devising a plan for the apocalypse? Just copy James's. If you find yourself listening to an infamous "James rant", the best advice is to say "haha, I know right? Want another shot??". James will do whatever he can to help someone in need. He's a great brother, and a great friend.
Allen Dyess
Groomsman
Alty (do NOT call him by his government name) Allen is Brianna's real brother and Mitch's fraternity brother. He was one of Mitch's 50 signatures needed during pledgeship, though this probably wouldn't have happened had he known Mitch would ask his sister out two years later. He is a certified storm chaser, and has caught at least 1 of them. Allen is the type of guy you might find yourself talking with in Mexico at 4AM, covering subjects from meteorology to the NOLA Pelicans and everything in between.
Matt Illich
Groomsman
Millich AKA The Pharmacist Matt is Mitch's cousin. Together in 2005, they formed the well-known band The Shnukawas Guys with the release of their hit single "Pebble in My Shoe". After Hurricane Katrina, they built a vehicle out of debris they found around the neighborhood. It consisted mainly of skateboard wheels, plywood, rope, and a lawn chair. Days later, Matt's mother mistook their creation for trash, and it promptly was thrown away and never seen again. Matt's random knowledge has proven useful in trivia. He's also one of Walgreens' top pharmacists.
Reed Williams
Groomsman
Reedy AKA Mitch's twin Reed is often described as Mitch's twin, but about 87% as attractive. This has been plenty enough to get him successfully through life, becoming one of the nation's best accountants. Reed and Mitch first met in preschool over a sit down meal of playdough. He is was the sole fan of the Shnukawas Guys (see Matt's bio). Reed is deathly allergic to shellfish, but typically waits to tell you until he thinks he ate one. If anyone has spare EpiPen, we might need it in Mexico. Reed is truly one of a kind. He can talk about nearly anything, though it is unclear if he always knows just what he's talking about.
Joseph Mestayer
Groomsman
José Joseph is Mitch's roommate and a self-proclaimed sushi connoisseur. He has started a petition to make David Attenborough the next canonized saint. He's the life of the party and a hermit the day afterwards. His favorite place is either Shuckers or (more likely) his base on Ark. If you hear what sounds like a witch's cackle, do not be alarmed - it is just Joseph laughing at a joke he made. This often startled people during Gross Anatomy lab. Without Joseph, an important annual Gulf Shores tradition would likely not have been started. This tradition has proven vital in keeping himself, Mitch, Carlos, and Reed sane.
Charles Stevens
Groomsman
Carlos Charles is the dogfather of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, often called Wayne(r). Charles somehow knows a little bit about nearly every niche field, ranging from theoretical physics to more Nietzsche subjects like philosophy. He and Mitch have known each other ever since their brain could form memories. They disc golfed nearly every day during high school. Charles has made history by being the disc golfer with the most injuries sustained while playing the sport. Two instances involved loss of consciousness. Most involved falling off a basket while pretending to be King Kong. Charles is a kind soul, a great friend, and an expert storyteller.
Chase Lovelace
Groomsman
Bae Again AKA Sooo Popular Chase is Mitch's freshman year roommate and an all-star defender in soccer. He also sets the record for most fraternities joined by a Freshman in college, and allegedly had over 100k followers on Vine. They had a mutual love of stealing each other's food and groceries, which inadvertently led to one of the most successful attempts at Socialism. Under certain conditions, Chase and Mitch have been known to brawl one another WWE style. This is often so professionally done that bystanders might call the police. To Bri, he is one of the funniest people alive. To Mitch, he is Chase.
