Callie & Ryan
Wedding Party
Erica Holland
Maid of Honor
Erica and Callie have been best friends since a college trip to Kenya. Erica loves Nashville, her dog Dixie, Bud Light, traveling, and thoroughly vetting the rest of Callie's friends. She's the most loyal friend a person could have and a great personal shopper. She's also a pediatric oncology nurse at Vanderbilt.
Natosha Mulholland(Richardson)
Matron of Honor
Natosha and Callie bonded over shark guts in Comparative Anatomy lab in college. Their unique personalities and sense of humor made them instant friends, and Erica even let it be so. The trio have had innumerable adventures together (most significantly to Baton Rouge to meet Ryan). Natosha is finishing her fellowship in critical care in veterinary medicine and is getting married July 2019.
Sadie Linden
Sister of Honor
Sadie is Callie's little sister. Separated by seven years but close as can be. Sadie and Callie enjoy watching Harry Potter and home videos, getting pedicures, and talking about their cats. Sadie loves to text Callie at all hours to ask her medical questions, but also knows to bring Callie chocolate milk and peanut butter toast if she is sad. Sadie is currently getting her bachelors degree at WKU.
Tara Reuckert
Bridesmaid
Tara and Callie have been soccer, high school, and carpool buddies for all eternity. They have endured more soccer stench and pre-calculus stress from each other than either could ever deserve. Yet, their friendship has persisted! Tara is a kind, brilliant, wise, and an invaluable friend. She lives in Vermont with her husband Justin, new baby Warren, and dog Eli where she now works with Burlington area youth after obtaining her masters in Psychology.
Niki Bermeister
Bridesmaid
Niki and Callie have been friends since third grade when Niki captivated the class with her beautiful singing voice. Niki's infectious laugh was the subject of many reprimands during the sleepover years, but Callie and Niki have continued to laugh together through high school, college, and beyond. Niki lives in Bowling Green with her hopefully soon to be fiance, Anthony. She is a respiratory therapist.
Mallorie Bergman
Bridesmaid
Mallorie and Callie have been sister friends since Jr. High, even moreso after Mallorie lived with the Lindens during senior year of high school. CalPal and MalPal are like two peas in a pod, and though they have been separated by significant distance for many years, they have an unwavering friendship. Mallorie lives in Indiana with her husband and their extraordinarily handsome twin boys.
Kelsey Lewis
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and Callie met in medical school at the University of Louisville (Go Cards). They bonded through the shared traumas of medical school, including spending a lot of time with an special group of dudes (that they love) in their home room. Kelsey always has invaluable advice for Callie about social norms (no, don't wear black to a wedding, Callie). She likes to drive her car too fast and drink craft beer (but not at the same time). She's completing her OBGYN residency with plans for a Gynecologic Oncology fellowship.
Melanie Schroeder
Bridesmaid
Melanie and Callie met in Baton Rouge through Ryan. She has been a staunch supporter of the Callie-Ryan relationship, had the best reaction of all to the engagement announcement, and helped coin the LindenBeJohnson hashtag. She and her husband, Logan are Ryan and Callie's Louisiana family. Melanie lives in Baton Rouge with Logan and works as a veterinarian.
Lisa Claghorn
Bridesmaid
Lisa and Callie met through Ryan. Lisa is a lawyer, and is a fellow sports, festival, and music enthusiast. Nick and Lisa, who previously were "Louisiana Family" recently moved to Indianapolis and are now "Indiana Family." She is an amazing assistant wedding planner and always knows how to make you feel loved!
Travis Johnson
Groomsman
Travis is one of Ryan's oldest friends from baseball, high school, and college. Travis and Ryan love listening to Pearl Jam and sampling and indulging in good craft beer. Travis is a lawyer and lives in Ohio County with his wife Kelsey, their newborn son Chip, and their dog Rupp. He also loves New Orleans, Mardi Gras, and po'boys (ask him about his favorite po'boy because he's practically a local).
Cody Funk
Groomsman
Cody is also one of Ryan's closest friends from their baseball, high school, and college days. Cody is a great friend and has maybe almost a great-er bourbon selection. Cody lives in Ohio County with his wife Miranda and their baby girl, Holly.
Logan Schroeder
Groomsman
Logan and Ryan met by lucky chance while living in Baton Rouge and went on to be roommates for nearly four years. Imagine living in a big house in the college town of Baton Rouge with a couple of your best friends in your twenties. Logan works for LSU and logistically makes much of Tiger Stadium go 'round on Saturdays during football season. He is married to Melanie, and they live in Baton Rouge.
Nick Claghorn
Groomsman
Nick was also in on this Baton Rouge best friends/roommates utopia. While Nick and Ryan share the same great taste in music, Nick's taste in college basketball teams is much more palatable. Nick is from Indiana, and he and his wife, Lisa, recently moved there and are greatly missed.
Jamie Nichols
Groomsman
Jamie was a third member of the Baton Rouge roommates club. He and Ryan met while both stationed there in the Coast Guard. Jamie just wrapped up several years stationed in the St. Croix, USVI and a trip there to visit definitely motivated Callie and Ryan's honeymoon choice. It's been great getting to see Jamie as he stops in on his way home from the Caribbean to Mississippi, but it will be nice to have him stateside now!
