Brock & Carly
Wedding Party
Cheraden Gavlik Norman
Maid of Honor
Cher Bear ♡ Cheraden and Carly met on their way to a Christmas Party during their freshman year at the University of Oklahoma. On that night, they decided to "officially" be best friends. Since then, they lived together through college and continued their friendship beyond. When in the same place, these two are inseparable. Even when apart, these two have a way of knowing what is going on with the other. From dreaming the same things to saying the same things, Cheraden and Carly have an effortless connection. Their friendship is rare and special. Cheraden is the kindest person who can make even the darkest moments bright. She shares these gifts through her career in Hospice.
Bryson Vanlandingham
Best Man
The day Bryson was born, Brock gained a built in best friend for life. Bryson is Brock's best friend not only by default, but also by choice. Bryson is just a few years younger than Brock, which gave them the incredible opportunity to share a childhood filled with countless memories. Almost all of Brock's fondest childhood memories involve his younger brother Bryson, and for that he is extremely grateful. Although Bryson is the younger brother, Brock looks up to him all the same. Over the years, these two have relied on each other for support, advice, and friendship - and Brock considers himself lucky to have such a special bond that can never be replaced. When Brock thinks about his younger brother, he is easily reminded of the many reasons why Bryson is his Best Man. Brock has always had Bryson by his side, and couldn't be happier to have him by his side on the most monumental day of his life.
Hannah Keith
Bridesmaid
Hannah ♡ Hannah and Carly rushed the same sorority their freshman year of college. Thanks APhi! Hannah and Carly were friendly for years before truly becoming friends. One day senior year of college, Hannah and Carly simply decided to be friends. Hannah and Carly spent tons of time together studying (otherwise known as walking from the Biz to The Library and getting flights of local beers and pulled pork nachos). Hannah and Carly's relationship is full of ease and substance. Though these two became friends later in life, they quickly became bonded and will be friends forever. Hannah is a passionate, reserved, fun, and truly lovely person who always sticks up for what she believes in.
Braxton Vanlandingham
Groomsman
Braxton is Brock's biggest brother. Through his life, Braxton has taught Brock more than he knows about how far passion, dedication, and hard work can take him. Brock owes his mentor Braxton so much recognition for teaching him everything that he knows, and those teachings have helped shape Brock into the man that he is today. Brock looks at Braxton as one of the most selfless, giving people he knows, and he has always admired Braxton for all of those reasons. From grinding in the gym, or living together in the basement/the South Bay, Brock and Braxton have always been close to one another. Although they don't get to see each other as much as they'd like to, Brock will always cherish the time they've had and will have together.
Molly Lindsey
Bridesmaid
Molly Rose ♡ Molly and Carly met their sophomore year of high school in AP Euro. Their teacher allowed students to choose the music in the class, and Carly played "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand. That day, Molly decided they would be best friends forever. Soon, the two girls exchanged secret roses for a Valentine's day fundraiser to really seal the deal on the friendship. From then on, Molly and Carly bonded over their shared love of academics, Tumblr, Lana, and Marina (listen, it was 2012). Carly moved away very shortly after the two met, but distance was no match for their friendship. Over the past decade and through many moves to various states and countries, Molly and Carly have kept in touch on a daily basis. These two have a bond like sisters. Molly has also known the groom since Pre-K, adding another very special dimension to the wedding party.
Benjamin Vanlandingham
Groomsman
Ben has done so much for Brock throughout his life. Brock can trust Ben with anything, and at many times has sought out the advice and guidance of his older brother. Brock's interests were always heavily influenced by his older brother. Growing up, Brock wanted to be just like him. Ben was always the best on the wakeboard, had the best boat music (which Brock still listens to), and Brock knew that whenever he was with Ben, he was in for a good time. Nowadays, Ben constantly goes out of his way for Brock and his family, and does everything that he can to provide for the people he cares about the most. These values resonate with Brock in his daily life, and he is so proud to call Benny his big brother.
Madison Servin
Bridesmaid
Maids ♡ Madison and Carly met their sophomore year of college. Quickly, the two hit it off and became fast friends. Soon the pair started working together at Toby Keith's country club. Neither remember much about the job outside of their giggle fests at the pool during slow afternoons and picking the other up on the golf cart to sneak a drink in the club house. Madison and Carly lived together for years in college, sharing a bathroom (talk about close friends!). These two have a blast together but also never miss a chance to be there for one another in tough times. Madison and Carly kept one another sane during Covid through weekly Facetimes. Madison is a brilliant engineer who has recently moved to Boston. She is fun, thoughtful, and a fabulous friend.
Carson Fournier
Groomsman
Brock and Carson met on the first day of school in 6th grade. Ever since their walk to the nurses office, they have been best friends. Brock knows in his heart that he can always count on Carson, and Carson's friendship is one of the most consistent aspects of Brock's every day life. Brock and Carson were teammates on the soccer field, are still teammates online, and will always be teammates in life. These two have been creating unforgettable memories together since their formative years, and Brock looks forward to all of the new memories to come as they both progress through life. Carson has always been there for Brock, and Brock knows that he always will be. For these reasons, Brock couldn't imagine having anyone else standing alongside him as his best friend and Groomsman on his wedding day.
Mason Morse
Groomsman
Brock and Mason met during freshman year of high school. This new friendship opened the door to a whole new friend group that Brock has always been grateful for. Mason and Brock's friendship is one that couldn't be replicated, and these two have always thought of each other as family. Brock and Mason were inseparable, and they have shared some of the funniest moments imaginable. The roots of their friendship run deep, and they have always been able to talk to each other about anything and everything. From the LifeTime days to today, Brock knows that he will always have a brother in Mason. Fun fact about Mason: on locker day of freshman year, Mason was the person standing next to Brock the moment Brock first laid eyes on Carly. In that moment, Mason witnessed Brock say "I'm going to marry Carly Myers one day". All these years later, this proves that Mason has been there for Brock through everything, and Brock is thankful to have Mason standing with him as he finally marries the woman of his dreams!
