Wedding Party
Ashley Mobley
Maid of Honor
Ashley, Brittney’s older sister, is like a second mom to her and is the perfect choice for Maid of Honor. With a loving soul and a protective nature, Ashley always looks out for those she loves. She’s a wonderful mom to two boys and will soon embrace being a girl mom. A talented artist and businesswoman, she’s known for her ability to hype up and support everyone in her life. Born three years and three days apart, and with their birthdays in the third month of the year, Brittney and Ashley have always felt a special connection. As kids, they loved pretending to be Tia and Tamara from Twitches (Brit is Tia and Ash is Tamara of course), and they remain deeply in tune with each other through every twist and turn. Brittney had the privilege of being Ashley’s maid of honor five years ago, and now, Ashley has the joy of standing by Brittney’s side on her special day.
Jackie Antoun
Bridesmaid
Jackie and Brittney have shared a lifelong bond, starting from being born just three months apart and baptized together. They've grown up side by side, from endless summer days in their Teta's (grandma's) backyards, to mixing plant potions, playing tetherball at lunch, and tackling their first math quizzes together. Jackie's unwavering faith in God and her dedication as a caring and patient physician are qualities Brittney deeply admires. After having the honor of being Jackie’s bridesmaid in August 2024, Brittney is thrilled to have Jackie by her side as a cherished bridesmaid, continuing their journey together through every stage of life.
Julia Morris
Bridesmaid
Julia Morris has been one of Brittney's dearest friends for the past decade. Their bond grew even stronger during the four years they lived together, sharing the experience of starting college, working their first college jobs as RAs, and graduating side by side. Julia is not only incredibly smart and dedicated—she works in affordable housing, making a real difference in people's lives—but she’s also deeply caring. Despite her busy life, she always makes time to ensure her friends feel valued and cherished. Brittney had the honor of being Julia’s maid of honor last year, and now, Julia stands by Brittney’s side as a bridesmaid.
Hanah Sloan
Bridesmaid
Hanah has been one of Brittney's closest friends for the past three years, someone with whom she can be completely herself. They share a special bond rooted in trust, both as friends and climbing partners. Hanah is Brittney's favorite adventure buddy, and together, they can accomplish anything—literally climbing mountains side by side. Hanah is an incredible trad climber and a true girls girl who always makes others feel accepted, meeting them exactly where they are. Whether they're giggling together or supporting each other through tough times, Hanah's bravery, intentionality, and kindness make her a force to be reckoned with.
Henry Howard
Best Man
From frolicking in mud pits, building campfires, and discovering video games, Henry has always been there to lead Leland and protect him when he gets in too deep. Born two and a half years before Leland, he introduced his little brother to everything from legos to rugby. Henry is a steadfast and solid presence, the counterpart to Leland's sometimes chaotic energy. At age 18, Henry joined the Marine Corps Infantry, rising quickly through the ranks to lead the elite Silent Drill Platoon. He's the proud dad of Lobo, a rescued Mexican street dog, who has slowly come out of his shell in the safety of Henry's care. Henry embodies their father's thoughtfulness, passion, and determination.
Nathan Kruger
Groomsman
Nathan and Leland were born one year apart, and they met shortly after Nathan learned to walk, when the Kruger family moved in across the street from the Howards. They were the best of friends, rafting rivers, sneaking candy into theaters, and making clubhouses in the basement. They gave their parents no shortage of grief, even leading to a police search for the "missing" boys during their grade school years. The enterprising boys had set up a lemonade stand, and continued to move it to different corners in search of new clientele, until they ended up a mile away. Nathan and Leland have remained close throughout the years, with ever more adventures and mischief. Nathan is a kind and loyal friend, who never fails to show up when needed. He is always ready to laugh, talk about the Warriors, or plan the next escapade.
Julian Frost
Groomsman
From when they met in middle school, Julian has been a constant presence in Leland's life. Whether it was romping through town on their bikes, singing as professional carolers, or cooking heart clogging amounts of bacon, Julian and Leland's combined energy has always been more than the sum of the parts. Through high school, they grew together as musicians, athletes, and as the best of friends. He is always ready for thoughtful conversation, whether that is on exciting new science, or the finer points of internet memes.
Danielle Henkel
Groomswoman
Danielle and Leland met by chance through mutual friends on a climbing trip where they had both brought the most snacks. Tired of camping with people who didn't prioritize food, they decided to become climbing partners. Since then, they've had many adventures and misadventures filled with both great joy and unexpected terror. Danielle has literally held Leland's life in her hands on many occasions, and her level-headedness has kept his sometimes overly-confident nature in check. She has been a steady friend, both on and off the wall, for many years.
