Brendan is not only Colton's cousin, but also one of his best friends. They have shared many experiences and haven't spent a moment together that won't forever be remembered.

Bridesmaid
Growing up, Cailey and Cassidy were bound much like sisters. Both in dance and enrolled in homeschool cirriculums, it seemed there were more days spent together than there were days apart. Cailey's dream of having a sister was fulfilled through this special friendship. As sisters do, they've shared many giggles and exchanged every secret. It only suits that Cassidy stand aside Cailey's hand as she says her vows.
Bridesmaid
Cailey met Heather after a difficult transition into a new and unfamiliar church. Where all eyes felt cold and misunderstanding, Heather's brace-face smile was the welcoming call Cailey had prayed for. They immediately clicked and became eerily in sync as many were left out of their inside jokes. To this day and for years beyond, Cailey and Heather will share an unbreakable connection.
Groomsman
Connor is one of Cailey's brothers who was immediately accepting of Colton from the start. He has been a great future brother in law and been available for Colton to talk through things with. The friendship and brotherhood of Connor and Colton is just starting but will for sure be a great one. This friendship is going to be one that lasts for the rest of Colton's life, so who better to have standing up there with Colton and Cailey on their big day.
Groomsman
This friendship started at Topgolf in Allen and has just gone nowhere but up since then. Music (what he goes by) has been a great role model to Colton through the short 2 year time period that they have been friends. From watching Taysom Hill and the Saints to their frequent wing lunches, there has never been a dull moment. Colton knows that if he ever needed anything that Music would be right there to help him through it, which is why it only makes sense that he is there by Colton's side on one of the biggest days of his life.
Bridesmaid
Fran and Cailey met working at a local coffee shop. Eyeing each other, both too afraid to make the first move, they knew somehow they were meant to be friends. Bonding over similar music preference and a common distaste of the coffee shop manager, they finally admitted to themselves that they were buds. After surgeries or on sick days, Fran used her blessing of hospitality and contagious laugh to nurse Cailey back to health. Serving now in Kuwait, Fran is dearly missed and will be welcomed home with a most appropriate joy. Cailey is so excited that Frani will be home in time to witness and be a part of her big day.
Bridesmaid
At a summer camp in Colorado, Cailey shared a bunk with a wee Northern Irish girl who lived in Belfast. Quiet at first, Emma grew in confidence and quickly became an exponentially cherished friend in Cailey's life. Many tears were shed at the end of camp while all other emotional connections seemed insignificant in comparison to the one Emma and Cailey had. Thinking "we'll never see each other again", Emma and Cailey were determined to keep their friendship alive. With frequent facetime calls and month-long trips across the world, Cailey considers herself extremely blessed to have Emma stand in person and in support on her wedding day.
Groomsman
Christian is Cailey's brother and has been very inviting of Colton into this crazy family since the beginning. From the Holiday themed Dungeons and Dragons games to the stories and laughs shared around a guitar, Christian has been a light in Colton's life. As a great friend and future brother in law, it only makes sense that Christian is up there with Colton and Cailey on their big day.
Junior Groomsman
Memphis is Colton's youngest brother and one of his best friends. From the day Memphis was born, they shared this bond that couldn't be broken. They were pretty much inseparable, wherever Colton was, Memphis was right there with him whether is watching the Red Sox, playing whiffleball, or shooting makeshift penalty kicks in the house against an ugly green couch. Memphis was always Colton's number #1 fan and best friend, which only makes sense that he is standing up there with Colton as he says "I do" to the girl of his dreams.
Junior Bridesmaid
Cailey remembers the feeling she got when Becky, her cousin's wife, announced her pregnancy. Presenting herself with that fiery red hair from day one, she continues to bring her spark in everything she does. Karly, Cailey's second cousin, has captured and enamored her heart in every way. With Karly's talent, smarts, beauty and humor, Cailey was okay in surrendering the title of 'youngest Schafer'. Cailey is excited to see her mature and age and is overjoyed to have her a part of the wedding party.
Flower Girl
Karsyn, Karly's younger sister is known for giving the Schafer clan a run for their money. Similar to the other Schafer ladies, Karsyn presents herself with a strong will and witty sense of humor. Her maturity is perpetually impressive as she exhibits an exceptional quality of appreciation and love. It isn't often that she goes without saying "thank you" or "I love you". Although Cailey is second cousin by blood, she's often referred to as "Aunt Cailey" and "really pretty" by Miss Karsyn. With sincere adoration and immeasurable love, Cailey could think of no one else to title as Flower Girl on this special day.
Ring Bearer
In January of 2019, Cailey was hired to nanny a precious 15 month old named Zander. While the Evan's house became a second home, Zander too became like her own. Cailey has watched Zander grow over almost two years now and has felt exceptionally blessed to be a part of his life. Many days were spent in observation of his thriving education and personality. She had grown extremely close in emotional ties and had always known, with or without being his nanny, that Zander would always play a special role in her life. Cailey could never imagine her wedding day without her beloved ring bearer and would only trust him with this responsibility!! #ringpatrol
