Brittany & Ethan
Wedding Party
Mildred Blue Branch-Vasquez
Best Dog
Mildred (Millie) was welcomed into the Branch-Vasquez household in April 2021. Fiercely loyal, loving, and active, Millie is the perfect addition to the family. Paw-renting Millie is no easy feat, but the joy and laughter that she brings to Ethan and Brittany's life has made them better as individuals and as partners to one another. While Mildred will unfortunately not be joining the ceremony or reception, you can expect many nods to Miss Millie throughout the day.
Jaden Hagmaier
Maid of Honor
Jaden and Brittany were roommates during their freshman and sophomore years at CNU. They bonded over late-night Sonic milkshake runs, heavy course loads, and all of the challenges that come with beginning college. Not only has Jaden been a true friend to Brittany individually, she has been one of the biggest supporters of Brittany and Ethan together. She welcomed Ethan with open arms each time he visited Brittany at CNU, supported them as they navigated life together after college, and will now stand by them as they become husband and wife. Jaden is loved for her bold personality, open mind, and big heart. Brittany is incredibly grateful for their friendship and is thrilled to have Jaden as her Maid of Honor.
Spencer Koger
Man of Honor
Spencer and Brittany studied abroad in South Africa together in Summer 2019. Bonding over their love for travel, learning, and great wine, it did not take long for them to develop a strong friendship. Their friendship really solidified though when Brittany was named a Sweetheart of Spencer's fraternity, Kappa Delta Rho. Somewhere in between all of the fun Greek life events they attended together and the many late nights spent in the library cranking out Comm papers, Spencer became one of Brittany's most trusted confidants, biggest supporters, and truest friends. Brittany cherishes her friendship with Spencer greatly and can't imagine getting married without him as her Man of Honor.

Marisa Butler
Bridesmaid

Marisa encourages Brittany to step outside of her comfort zone, think deeply, and be herself. Brittany can always count on Marisa to be down for anything - whether its a cozy night in with Marisa's homemade ginger tea or an impulsive spring break trip to Canada, there is never a dull moment when they are together. Brittany can't imagine her wedding day without Marisa by her side as a bridesmaid.
