Wedding Party
Minette du Plooy
Maid of Honor
My twin sister, Minette, is not only my maid of honor, but my lifelong best friend. She fearlessly protects the people she loves and stands up for what's right. No matter the consequences, she was always the first to have my back. She's incredibly talented and can do anything she sets her mind to, and I’m beyond proud to call her my sister. What's even more special is that we’re both getting married just a week apart. I couldn’t imagine walking down the aisle without her by my side!
Levi May
Best Man
Levi and I have been friends since high school, and he's been a constant presence in my life ever since. Reliable, caring, and always ready with a joke, he's the kind of guy who will always lend a helping hand. We’ve shared some incredible adventures together—most memorably, a road trip across the Western U.S. with Ryan. Levi also had a habit of convincing us to go on what he called "easy" hikes, only for us to be left completely exhausted by the end. Whether it’s keeping in touch through college or pushing me (literally) to the limit on hikes, Levi has been a true friend, and I couldn’t imagine my wedding without him standing by my side.
Lena Busbee
Bridesmaid
My best friend since I was 15, Lena is truly my platonic soulmate. From the moment I moved to Prosper, she was the first to reach out, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. She’s the strongest person I know—her resilience and heart inspire me daily. Lena is the type of person who would drop everything to be by your side when you called! I feel so blessed to have had her by my side for all these years, and even more so to have her by my side on my special day!
Ryan Flammer
Groomsman
Ryan was the first friend I made when I moved to Southlake, and we’ve been close ever since. He’s energetic, imaginative, and definitely the wildcard of the group. We spent countless hours playing video games late into the night, driving home from school together, and, of course, embarking on our epic road trip with Levi. Of all my groomsmen, I’ve known Ryan the longest, and he’s been one of the most fun and loyal friends I’ve ever had.
Paityn Garlington
Bridesmaid
Paityn has been my roommate for the past two years at college, and I couldn't imagine what it would've been like without her. She has such a big heart and has been a support system for me when I needed her the most. What’s even more impressive is how she works so hard at everything she does—and somehow makes it all look effortless. I'm endlessly grateful that we met freshman year of college and I can't wait to see what she goes on to do next!
Hunter Tallichet
Groomsman
Hardworking, flexible, and always direct, Hunter is the reason I met some of my closest friends in college. He was the first person to introduce me to Stephen, Jack, and our old roommate Ivan, and he’s the one who invited me to live with them after freshman year. From workouts to anime to just hanging out, Hunter has been a huge part of my college experience, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have him as a groomsman.
Skylar Knezek
Bridesmaid
My beautiful future sister-in-law!! From the first day I met her, Skylar has made me feel welcomed and like part of the family. She’s a true ray of sunshine—always bringing positivity and warmth wherever she goes. Her kindness is unmatched, and she has a way of making everyone feel seen and valued. She’s so considerate of others and has a genuine way of making people feel comfortable and loved. I can't wait to see the amazing things she'll continue to accomplish, and I’m honored to have her by my side as a bridesmaid on this special day!
Stephen Scoggins
Groomsman
Stephen is one of my college roommates and the creative mastermind behind some of the best D&D sessions we’ve played. Every week, we dive into our campaigns, and he never fails to bring something new and exciting to the table. He’s incredibly consistent—whether it’s D&D, hanging out, or our shared love of anime, sports, and hitting the gym. He’s also given us plenty to joke about. Stephen has been an amazing friend, and I’m glad he’s part of this big day.
Tayley Horton
Bridesmaid
I met Tayley at the beginning of our junior year of college, and I’ve been lucky enough to have her by my side ever since. We’re in the same major, so she’s been a constant source of support and motivation when school gets overwhelming. Her determination and drive are unmatched—she’s pre-med and is destined to do incredible things in the future. I’ve watched her tackle every challenge and I know there’s nothing she can’t accomplish. I’m so grateful to have her as a bridesmaid and can’t wait to see her achieve her dreams!
Jack Tallichet
Groomsman
Jack might be Hunter’s younger brother, but over time, he’s become just as much of a close friend to me. Chill, fun, and always ready to joke around, we’ve spent so much time talking about the funniest things we’ve seen online or in real life. Even though we haven’t known each other as long as the others, he’s become an important part of my life, and I’m excited to have him standing with me on my wedding day.
