Wedding Party
Jackie Johnson
Maid of Honor
Jackie and Katelynn have been friends since they were 5. From kindergarten until graduation, you wouldn’t find one without the other. Through the good, bad, smiles, tears and everything in between, they have been there for each other. Katelynn has many fond memories with Jackie, but her favorite would be in 11th grade. They were taking an AP European exam (college level exam), an important one that should’ve been taken seriously. Also one that Katelynn hadn’t studied for, so she gave up half way through and started making faces at Jackie to get her to laugh. They had caused such a disturbance, that the teacher threatened to take the exam away from both of them, which made them laugh even harder. P.S. Kate failed, Jackie passed 😂 Jackie is one of Katelynn’s nonbiological sisters.
Ally Borden
Bridesmaid
Ally and Katelynn have been partners in crime since they were 4 years old. One of Katelynn’s favorite memories with Ally is leaving her house at 4 years old at 6:30 am in her Barbie nightie and going to Ally’s house next door. She was let in by Ally’s older brother and they sat on the counter and helped themselves to some cereal. Katelynn left her house door open and gave her mom a heart attack that morning 😅 Ally has also received the title of non-biological sister to Katelynn.
Brittany Boone
Bridesmaid
Brittany is Bryan’s older sister and only sibling. From the time they could barely speak, they were always into something. Building teepees out of big sticks and old blankets, drifting their bikes into the gravel driveway, playing tag and catching each other, catching crawdads in the creek below the house, trying to ride the dogs and fighting like they were in the UFC on multiple occasions. They grew up hunting and fishing together, training horses and working hard from an early age. To this day, Brittany still loves horses with multiple of her own, she trail rides and shows. They have always been close, even with Bryan half way across the world. Bryan would do anything for his only sis and is very grateful to have her in his life.
Olivia Hoffman
Bridesmaid
Olivia is a long time family friend of Katelynn. They worked together at a local ice cream shop and became close. One night after talking about Bryan a bunch, Olivia told Katelynn to not be so scared and finally friend request him on Facebook. And the rest is history. 😊 Thanks Olivia!
Isabella Miller
Bridesmaid
Isabella (Izzy) is Katelynn’s actual biological sister. Although there is an 11 year age gap, Izzy has been one of Katelynn’s best friends for the last 16 years. They have been each other’s rock in hard times and partners while sharing laughs. But most importantly, Izzy has fulfilled the role of being the annoying little sister very well. 😂
Kevin Boone
Best Man / Father of the Groom
From a very early age, Bryan saw his dad as rough and tough, but reserved and fair. He always wanted to follow right in his footsteps. His dad taught him everything he knows and then some. He taught him how to hunt and be quiet in the woods, showing him how to work on cars, how to be a good person and many other things. For years, Bryan was too impatient and immature to learn certain things, not seeing the value in it as a kid, but as he got older, he appreciated the time he had and him being around his dad. A lot of the best memories came from working around the house, helping family, going hunting every year and dreaming about that big buck and spending time with family. Bryan always says he’d be lucky to be half the man his dad is someday. And is very thankful to have him as his dad.
Cody Richmond
Groomsman
Cody is Bryan’s cousin and has grown up with him his entire life. From an early age, being in the same vicinity at once, shenanigans would ensue. Backyard WWE matches, Need for Speed competitions on the PS2, 1-on-1 basketball and the list goes on. They grew up sharing the love of hunting, telling stories and cracking jokes. From Cody getting buck-fever and always missing deer, which Bryan gladly reminds him of, pushing the limits of a fourwheeler, coming up to the house to work on cars, throwing a football around and many more things to list. Cody is the closest family Bryan has to a brother.
Austin Hendrickson
Groomsman
Austin is one of Bryan’s best friends and met as two young kids fresh into the military. From school to duty stations, they just about did everything together. Shared all the same hobbies and was always around each other. From catching a 30-pound flathead catfish on base with a bass pole and walking it back to the barracks, Bryan telling him not to play around mashing his brake pedal in his “new” Ford Taurus because he might bust a brake line (which is exactly what he did), and Bryan talking him into getting his first compound bow and teaching him to bowhunt. To this day they still get out to hunt, fish and hang around one another.
Shane Vicaire
Groomsman
Shane is one of Bryan’s closest friends and also met in the Marine Corps. A wet behind the ears kid, fresh into his first duty station in North Carolina, met a salty and disgruntled Marine who couldn’t wait to teach him the “ways” of the life. Shane and Bryan hit it off from day one, two rednecks wearing a uniform. From working on aircraft, cars and trucks, shooting guns, fishing, roadtrips, sipping a couple beers on the weekends and enjoying each others company. Bryan is always giving him a hard time over his third gen Camaro with a little ol’ 305, driving down to Myrtle Beach in the middle of the night and more. When they were together, it was going to be a good time.
Ty Miller
Groomsman
Ty (Bubba) is Katelynn’s little brother. He and Katelynn love to send each other funny videos and play games over text messages. Ty is a “gentle giant” who is always there to put a smile on his sister’s face. ❤️
Dane Miller
Father of the Bride
Dane is Katelynn’s father. Katelynn has been a daddy’s girl her whole life. It is said that Katelynn is the "mini girl version" of her dad. She can credit her love for her family and work ethic to Dane. They share a love for football (Atlanta Falcons) and 80’s hair bands (Def Leppard & Poison), both of which they’ve had the joy of seeing in concert 🤘🏻
Kimberly Meleski
Mother of the Bride
Kimberly is Kateynn's mom (Momma). Katelynn and Kimberly share a love of Broadway musicals and Civil War history. They have enjoyed many vacations together all over, further enhancing Katelynn's love of travel and experiencing new things. Kimberly has instilled a love of family in Katelynn and has been a big supporter of her only daughter, as they are best friends.❤️
Scott Meleski
Step-Father of the Bride
Scotty is Katelynn's step dad. Although her dad has always been a part of her life, Katelynn has had the pleasure of being a "daddy's girl" to him as well. Scotty has been a big supporter of everything that she has done, including never missing one track meet from 7th- 12th grade. They enjoy listening to Eminem and telling each other stupid dad jokes.
Melissa Miller
Step-Mother of the Bride
Melissa is Katelynn's step mother. She and Katelynn share a hobby of crafting. They enjoy sending memes to each other, especially if it has to do with dogs, 🐶cats 🐱or otters🦦.Katelynn & Melissa love when they get to camp with their family & friends.🏕️
Crystal Boone
Mother of the Groom
Bryan's mom is the glue that holds their family together, she has always been there and always with a smile on her face. Bryan almost always had a home cooked meal even when his mom may have not felt like it that night, she always took care of her two kids and husband and does so to this day. Bryan remembers how much he would put his mom through growing up, such as coming in the house covered in mud or from wrecking his bike. He and his sister Brittany fighting like cats and dogs and getting into who knows what or breaking things around the house. Bryan has many good memories of his mom from sleeping in her lap as a little kid in church, stealing her gum, eating her awesome food, to spending time with family. She is the best mom Bryan could ever ask for and couldn't imagine anyone else.
Gregory & Greyson
Ring Security
Gregory and Greyson are Katelynn’s nephews. They are all very close and they have become like little brothers to her. They all bond over their love of football and funny videos on YouTube. 😊
Charlotte “Charlie” & Blake
Flower Kids
Charlie bear and Blake are our flower kids. They are super excited to be in a wedding with their momma, Ally. Katelynn & Bryan are so pleased that they could clear their busy schedule of playing and taking naps for us on our special day. 😂❤️
