Wedding Party
Emma Dickens
Matron of Honor
Emma and Halie have been best friends for 12 years. She met Christian and instantly told Halie she should marry him. She is a wife and mom of 4 little boys! She’s not scared to make sure everyone is doing their job or spill something on someone wearing white. She will 100% be the wildest one on the dance floor!
Dalton Hook
Best Man
Dalton and Christian became friends at EKU. They cheered together and stayed friends through college! Dalton lives in Kentucky with his amazing wife (they got married at the same venue!) Dalton loves bourbon, his wife, and his dogs! He tells Christian all the time “married life is where it’s at”
Maegan Saalwaechter
Maid of Honor
Maegan and Halie are sisters! They met on MySpace when Halie was 15 and Maegan was 17! If you see an invite, or a sign, or any graphic design for the wedding it was made by Maegan for sure! Maegan has 3 kiddos and for the right playlist you will see her on the dance floor. She thinks that her and Chris have more in common than her and Halie lol
Josh Palasini
Groomsman
Josh and Christian have been friends for over 8 years! They work together and each have a pool obsession. Josh just got married! He has a beautiful wife named Judy and they have one little girl! Josh was one of the first people to know when Halie and Christian started dating!
Claudia Barhorst
Bridesmaid
Halie and Claudia have been friends for almost 6 years! The met when Claudia messaged Halie on Facebook about doing her hair and Halie responded…. Two months later 🙃 Claudia came in to get her hair done and they’ve been besties ever since!
Seth Groves
Groomsman
Seth is Halie’s younger brother! Chris and Seth hit it off quickly with their common interest in making fun of Halie, cars, and sports. Chris and Seth have been friends for two years but will be brothers from now on!
Genevieve Zarnich
Bridesmaid
Halie and Gen have been friends for a little over two years! Gen is actually the friend that invited Halie on what ended up being the double date that was Chris and Halie’s first date. Gen is a go to friend to have fun with but is also our own personal dog whisperer. We love Gen!
Joel Dowding
Groomsman
Joel and Chris have been friends for 8 years! They have worked together and even lived together at one point! Joel was also there for Chris and Halie’s first date and was one of their biggest cheerleaders through the beginning! Joel called they’d get married from basically day one!
Isa Tufo Rangel
Bridesmaid
Isa and Halie have been friends for years all starting with isa doing Halie’s nails! Isa has listened to Halie day dream about these moments for a long time! She has been with Halie through all the steps especially plotting engagement and wedding nails with Chris of course!
JB Brooks
Groomsman
JB and Chris have been friends for 8 years! Chris worked with JB and his wife Libby at top golf! Halie met JB first when going golfing with Chris and she brought him banana bread so they hit it off pretty early even tho he tried to kill a stink bug. The 4 of them have been besties for the past 2 years and love a good golf or casino day.
Isabelle Montoya
Jr. Bridesmaid
I think this one goes without saying! Isabelle is of course Chris’ daughter but Halie’s best friends. We couldn’t get married without Isabelle we both love her more than words could explain to yall! She is fun, beautiful, and sweet. She will definitely be challenging the rest of the wedding party to arm wrestle and I can’t think of a person aside from (maybe) Chris that can beat her. We can’t wait to have her by our side on our big day!
Ryleigh Patterson
Jr. Bridesmaid
My sweet baby Ry! This is Halie’s niece and basically first baby! Ry has talked about Aunt Halie getting married and getting her some cousins for years! lol The comedy will be brought to the bridal suite by this one and I’m half tempted to give her the mic for entertainment purposes. Ry will be singing and dancing along on the dance floor with everyone else. She’s funny, smart, beautiful and so thoughtful. I’m pumped that we get to have her be a part of this day! We love Ry so much!
Ryan
Jr. Groomsmen
Ryan James! Ryan is Halie’s nephew and a Jr groomsman! He’s a sweetie and basically professional gamer. He’ll be the one offering to help (especially the girls) with anything he can! Super happy we get to have Ryan by our side! We love you bubba!
Rhett
Jr. Groomsmen
Rhett is the life of the party! Retro is Halie’s nephew and he will be the ball of energy! He loves to play sports, dance, and will probably still be going long after the rest of the party is KO We are so excited to have Rhett there to bring the vibes! We love you retro!
Alaina Majors
Officiant
Not many people get to have one of their friends officiate their wedding much less one that’s as fun an amazing as Alaina! Alaina is ALWAYS down to bring the party, is always there when you need her, and will help with anything (even getting you married) she’s got a great heart and amazing personality. She may be officiating our wedding but catch us on the dance floor after with the MOH shaking our booties! We love you so much Alaina and we are SO happy you’re the one doing this!
Tommy Groves
Father of the Bride
Halie’s dad is hosting the wedding for the couple! He will for sure cry seeing his baby girl marry Chris! We love him!
Carla
Mother of the Groom
Chris’ mom will definitely have a great time sipping bourbon and seeing her only son get married! We love her!
Daddy Omni
Usher
If you need help knowing where your seat is or what you should be doing next just look for Omni! However after dinner he will be spending all his time on the dance floor I’m sure!
Brandon
Usher
If you need help knowing where you sit or what to do next look for Brandon! After dinner I’m sure he’ll just be hyping Alaina up on the dance floor though
