WEDDING PARTYWEDDING PARTY
Joslen TrippJoslen Tripp
Matron of Honor
Holly has called Joslen her sister-in-law for years, but in her heart, she’s always been a true sister. They met back in 2006, basically growing up into adulthood side by side. Their first meeting was when Holly’s brother, Jonathan, invited some high school buddies over to play poker in the garage. Holly remembers seeing this girl in a baggy sweatshirt and messy bun, laughing with the guys like she’d known them forever. She was so cool and effortlessly chill that Holly couldn’t even pull off the stand-offish, protective big-sister act she’d planned. Since then, Joslen has been a constant — a ray of sunshine who’s been there through everything. She’s made Holly the proudest aunt in the world, brought endless joy to the family, and made Jonathan so incredibly happy. More than anything, she’s been a true soul sister, and Holly couldn’t be more honored to have her standing by her side as her Matron of Honor.
Julie EspindolaJulie Espindola
Maid of Honor
Julie isn’t just Brittney’s little sister, she’s her forever partner-in-crime. Even with the years between them, these two have always been close, and Britt’s been cheering her on through every chapter of life. Now in her early 20s, Julie is carving her own path. She works in healthcare, is embracing her independence, and figuring out exactly who she wants to be. Brittney couldn’t be prouder of the woman Julie is becoming and the tight bond they’ve built along the way. They talk constantly, share more inside jokes than anyone can keep up with, and have that unshakable bond that only sisters can understand. Having Julie by her side on this day isn’t just special, it’s a full-circle moment for them both… and maybe the final push she needs to move to Nashville ;)
Ashlynn NicoleAshlynn Nicole
Flower Girl and Keeper of Breakfast (our dog)
Ashlynn may be our flower girl, but she’s also our resident comedian, trivia champ, and the keeper of Gen Z/Alpha slang that keeps us feeling… let’s just say “in the loop.” She gets her sharp wit from her mom (Brittney) and more than holds her own in our house’s endless banter, especially when she and Holly team up to school Brittney in trivia and brag about how brilliant they are. She’s quick-witted, endlessly funny, and Brittney’s little partner-in-crime. Holly adores her like she’s her own, which is fitting, because Ashlynn somehow looks more like Holly than Brittney (don’t ask, we’re still laughing about it). They even share the same practical, sensitive Earth-sign energy. Ashlynn is also the human BFF of our dog, Breakfast, who turns into a shadow the moment she walks through the door. Together, they make the perfect pair, and on the wedding day, we couldn’t imagine anyone else leading the way down the aisle (with or without a certain four-legged friend in tow).
Jase DavidJase David
Ring Bearer
Holly’s lil’ dude — and eldest nephew — isn’t so little anymore. Now he’s stepping up to the all-important job of ring bearer. We’re pretty sure he’s got this covered: he’s an abundantly talented baseball player who can field zingers on the diamond, so carrying a few sparkly little diamonds should be no problem at all. Jase is the best big brother to his siblings (you’ll meet them below), level-headed, smart, and all-around awesome. Holly was lucky enough to live with him and his family during his toddler years — a time she’ll never forget — and watching him grow into the person he is today has been one of her greatest joys as an auntie.
Jessa ShaeJessa Shae
Flower Girl
Holly’s one and only niece, Jessa is pure sunshine in a sparkly dress. She’s joyful all the time — like, all the time — and somehow manages to be both a little princess and the life of the party. Even in a room full of adults, she can hold her own, and in her neighborhood, every kid wants to be in her orbit. She’s got style, too — she picked up that classic millennial photo pose (one hand on the hip, lean slightly forward) and somehow pulls it off better than any of us actual millennials. She’s precious, perfect, and we couldn’t imagine our day without her twirling down the aisle and lighting up the room.
Jett JonathanJett Jonathan
Ring Bearer
Holly will never forget when it was just Jase and Jett, and their dad was working a lot of late nights. Jett was barely crawling, so we tried to motivate him with a picture of his dad in his police uniform. He instantly lit up — and crawled like a champ. That’s Jett in a nutshell: when he’s inspired, he can do anything. He’s endlessly curious about the world, always asking questions — not out of nosiness, but because he genuinely cares and wants to understand life deeply. Smart, caring, and every bit as hilarious as his siblings, Jett throws his whole heart into whatever he’s passionate about. We can’t wait to see him bring that same spirit down the aisle as our ring bearer.
Joah ClaytonJoah Clayton
Ring Bearer
Joah may be the youngest brother, but he’s the ultimate big bro to Jessa — always looking out for her with equal parts protectiveness and love. He’s the perfect blend of adorable, charming, witty, kind, and smart… with just enough daredevil energy to keep things interesting. Tough, agile, and naturally talented at any sport he tries, Joah is as impressive on the field as he is at making people laugh. He’s a lovable teddy bear, a total life-of-the-party type, and we can’t wait to see him bring that same energy (and maybe a little mischief) to his ring bearer duties.
Owen LansburgOwen Lansburg
Officiant
Owen and Holly go way back—like Fullerton Union High School back. They didn’t really know each other well then, but years later their paths crossed again in the hospitality industry, and that’s where the real friendship began. Owen eventually made the move to Nashville, and when Holly came to visit him (and her bestie Melissa, who had also just relocated), he and Melissa teamed up and worked their magic. Within weeks, Holly was packing her bags and moving to Nashville for good. To help her get on her feet, Owen offered up his spare room—where she crashed on an air mattress for six months (true friendship right there). Not long after, Brittney and Ashlynn came into the picture, and the three of them basically took over his space for months (sorry, buddy). Because of all this, Owen got a front-row seat to Holly and Brittney’s relationship from the very beginning—and that makes his role in this day even more special. Beyond his perfect mix of humor, warmth, and genuine sentiment, Owen has always been the kind of friend who shows up with both jokes and heart. He’s truly the perfect person to officiate. Now, Owen’s engaged himself and has bonus kids of his own—something Holly would like to think Brittney and Ashlynn helped inspire ;)
Breakfast AvocadoBreakfast Avocado
Flower Girl
Breakfast isn’t just a dog, she’s the best pup in the whole wide world (and yes, we checked with the neighborhood squirrels). More than fur and paws, she’s the heart that connects us all. Pure warmth wrapped in unconditional love, she’s Brittney’s forever furry sidekick. When life gets tough, Breakfast reminds us that love looks like wagging tails, sloppy kisses, and the kind of loyalty that melts your heart every single day. She was a little hesitant about Holly at first, but now they’re best buds (even if she can’t be Holly’s road trip buddy because, well, cars aren’t her thing). Breakfast also has a special bond with Ashlynn, lighting up whenever she’s around and sticking close in a way she doesn’t with anyone else. Oddly enough, she's got a few feline quirks, like people-watching from the window or stretching out in a sunny patch on the balcony as if she owns it. She’s not just part of the family… she’s the family’s love in four paws.
