Wedding Party
Nikki LaFrance
Maid of Honor
In our over 20 years of being best friends, Liz and I have been through it all together, and I can’t believe I now have the BIGGEST honor of standing by her side on her wedding day! I can’t wait to continue cheering on her and Tanner through this next chapter of life, and every one after that! LETS GET THEM MARRIED!
Gerrit Dorn
Best Man
Hi I’m Gerrit, I grew up playing soccer with Tanner as kids and our relationship emerged into a great friendship that it is now. Tanner and I spent many days wreaking havoc on our innocent teachers, even to the point that they sat us on opposite sides of the classroom…yet we still found ways to crack jokes to each other. I met Liz during Covid and immediately saw the effect she had on Tan man. I have very high hopes for them as a couple and can’t wait to see what they accomplish together.
James Deras
Groomsman
What’s up everyone my name is James, I’ve known Tanner since middle school. We became real good friends when we played football together, and have been good friends since then. Tanner has always been there for me during and after high school, really one of the most honest, truthful and goofiest guys I know. We would spend Sunday, Monday and Thursday’s together watching football stressing about our fantasy teams, there’s never been a bad moment with Tanner. He’s always there for a good time and always has a smile on his face. I’m glad our friendship has grown, I’m glad we’ve kept in touch after high school and continue to hang out. Very happy for these two I know there will never be a dull moment in there marriage, I’m excited to be apart of Tanner and Liz’s next chapter in life.
Jordan Fowler
Bridesmaid
Hello! My name is Jordan but everyone calls me Jordy. I met Liz growing up at our dance studio but I owe our entire relationship to Fetty Wap (iykyk). Then she moved to Arizona for college so I just HAD to follow her. FORKS UP BABY! I met Tanner through Liz when they started dating and could not believe how perfect of a match they were for one another. Getting to be a part of their forever is something I’ll always cherish. Blessings upon blessings for you two! Let’s get y’all MARRIED!!
Katelyn Gridler
Bridesmaid
Liz and I met at our dance studio as kids and have been inseparable ever since. Dance definitely had its ups and downs, but it was absolutely worth it because it brought me my sister for life. We’ve been there for each other through the highs and lows of growing up — from our pre-teen and teenage years to college and now early adulthood — and I know we’ll continue to be there for each other through every new chapter ahead. Liz is truly the best friend anyone could ask for — loyal, hilarious, and always there no matter what. I’m so lucky to have her in my life and beyond proud of the incredible woman she’s become. Tanner is a lucky guy to have found someone as amazing as Liz, and I know Liz is just as lucky to have found someone who matches her humor perfectly and loves and supports her through all of life’s moments. Being by Liz’s side on her big day means the world to me, and I can’t wait to celebrate all the love, laughter, and memories ahead.
Talar LaSalle
Bridesmaid
Talar LaSalle, 27, is a graphic artist who lives in Los Angeles, California. Raised in Lancaster, California, she went to high school with Elizabeth. They became very close in Spanish class creating a bond due to their shared confusion. As Elizabeth’s date for senior prom (sorry Tanner), they built a connection that continued their friendship well into college despite now living many many miles away from each other. This allowed for travel to become a big part of their friendship. From Talar taking a greyhound from LA to Tempe, Arizona to Liz flying half-way across the world to meet Talar in Paris while she was studying aboard, distance has never been an issue in their friendship. Beyond her passion for art and design, Talar enjoys hiking, snowboarding, advocating for human rights, and listening to true crime podcasts. Most importantly, she’s so excited to see her best friend get to experience the day she’s been dreaming of!
Camden Mills
Groomsman
Hi I’m Camden, brother of the Groom. I’ve known Tanner my whole life, literally lol. I met Liz when Tanner brought her around for the first time, and I’m so excited to add another sister to the family. Liz and Tanner have both been so supportive of each other and I can’t wait to see what they accomplish as husband and wife.
Kaitlyn Mills
Bridesmaid
Sister-in-law to the groom and so lucky to finally share the same last name with the beautiful bride. What was once two girls dating brothers, turned into lifetime sisters and the absolute best of friends. I am so excited to witness their love flourish into husband and wife!
Chloee Mills
Bridesmaid
As everyone (no one) knows I’m Tanner’s little sister, known him my whole life, love the guy! I met Liz when they first started dating and she is so welcoming and kind, it’s so easy to talk with her. And I knew right then and there I had a sister for life (that’s a threat)! I can’t wait for their special day!
Miranda Ruiz
Bridesmaid
Liz and I went to rival Junior Highs, Sacred Heart and St. Mary’s, so of course we could never be friends…until high school! We went to Paraclete High School where we played hide-and-go-seek in the mall, spent nights at Red Robin with bottomless root beer floats and fries, and did a group Lip Sync Battle performance with Talar. She’s been there for me through the ups and downs of undergrad, graduate school, and now in our big girl jobs. I always know I can go to her. Tanner is one lucky guy because this bride-to-be is an absolute gem!
Justin Turner
Groomsman
Hi I’m Justin, more well known as JT. I’ve had the honor of callin Tanner my friend for about 14 years. We’ve had some good times together man, too many to mention lol. I remember all the talks about Liz and what scares him most about being in a relationship. From seeing Tanner take a hesitant but hopeful step in making things serious with Liz to Tanner making a step from his heart with commitment. It’s been an honor seeing them love, hurt, and grow together. That first hesitant step allowed two strangers to find love, friendship, and home all in one person. I can’t wait to see what God has in store for them in marriage and in this next chapter of their life. Love y’all!
Edward Worley
Groomsman
Hi, I’m Eddie. I had the privilege of meeting Tanner through Liz, and since then, he’s become a great friend. I’m truly honored to stand by his side on their big day, mostly so I can have a front-row seat when he attempts to dance at the reception lol. I can’t wait to celebrate these two and see what the future has in store for them. Bring on June 28th!
