Genavieve & Ryan
Party People
Emily
Maid of Honor
Emily and I met five years ago while working at CBS Radio. What started as an unlikely friendship has blossomed into a close knit sisterhood. Two different jobs later and we are STILL working together, where I go she goes and visa versa. Emily is my go to girl and the big sister I have always wanted. I bring out her wild side and she helps me stay grounded. She is always down for any crazy idea or adventure that I come up with. The yin to my yang. I feel so blessed to have a girl like Emily in my life and I cant wait for all the memories to be made for years to come! At the wedding you will probably see Emily and I taking shots and hyping each other up.
Kevin
Groomsman
From playing against each other in basketball to being on the same team in High School these two go way back. Kevin and Ryan have been friends for years and were even roommates in college. Kevin's outgoing and wild personality makes him a fan favorite. He can make you laugh without trying and he's always down for a good time. Ryan is excited to have Kevin on his side for the wedding and for life. At the wedding you can catch Kevin flirting on the dance floor or arguing with Stevie.
Marlie
Bridesmaid
My sweet Marlie. She is among the many friends of Ryan's that I met at Coachella. Marlie quickly became one of my besties soon after. Her open mind and caring heart makes her so easy to talk to and bond with. From our monthly vent sessions about work to fun nights out in San Diego. She's the youngest of the bunch but I still look to her for advise and guidance on things. One of the sweetest souls you will ever meet! At the wedding you'll see her at the DJ booth requesting anything Taylor Swift.
Hunter
Best Man
Hunter and Ryan have known each other for about 20 years. Their friendship feels more like family at this point. Throughout basketball seasons both High School and Club these two remain each others best friends. They both compliment each others personalities. Hunter's outgoing and outspoken side is balanced by Ryan's more reserved and shy side. Hunter is like family to the McGready's and also to me. Although we argue like brother and sister, the love and loyalty is unmatched and rock solid. At the wedding Hunter will be at the bar talking about his new found obsession with golf.
Daniella
Bridesmaid
Also known as Yella or Yellz. She's high school friends with Ryan and majority of the groomsmen but she has quickly become one of my very best friends as well. I also met Yella at Coachella 4 years ago and we bonded instantly, zero hesitation. We love all the same stuff on almost every level which is why she's my person. Same taste in clothes, drinks, music, bouginess, hobbies, you name it! Yella is the most fun loving soul that I know, whatever it is she's down for it! We are so happy she'll be in our lives for years to come. Catch Yella at the wedding sipping on wine and dancing to throwback R & B.
Reilly
Groomsman
Reilly and Ryan met in Jr High and they were instant friends. Every year since, Reilly has grown more and more like a brother to Ryan. They have so many stories and fond memories whether it be at a music festival, on the golf course or drinking with friends. Reilly always brings the party! Reillys sweet and funny personality are what make him so lovable. We look forward to many more laughs and memories with him in our lives. At the wedding you can see Reilly at the bar taking SHOTS or getting drinks for Yella.
Sara
Bridesmaid
I've known Sara my entire life! Our families have grown up together over the past 20 something years. Sara and I have both watched each other grow into the women we are today. From our elementary school sleepovers to our wine nights we always have a blast together. We have been there for each other through all major life events like graduations, birthdays, weddings and even babyshowers. My love for Sara runs deep and I cant wait to keep celebrating life with her by my side. At the wedding you'll probably catch Sara and her Husband at the bar trying all the cocktails.
Stevie
Groomsman
Ryan has known Stevie since elementary school. Stevie is the most unique and interesting boy in this friend group. With his crazy sense of humor and one of a kind personality, Stevie stands out. Dating back to little league baseball and basketball days Stevie and Ryan have been close friends for years. He's always down for a good time. We are thrilled to have Stevie in our wedding party. At the wedding you'll find Stevie at the bar, on the dance floor, or arguing with Kevin.
Shelbee
Bridesmaid
Ryan's older sister and my soon to be Sister in Law! Shelbee is the most welcoming and nurturing human. I will never forget the very first day I got to meet Shelbee. She announced that she was expecting her first baby, Bryson to the family. I was very new to the McGready family but I instantly felt so welcomed by her from the jump. Her calming presence and warm personality made me feel at home right away. I cant wait to finally have such a sweet and thoughtful sister!! Catch her at the wedding probably chasing her little ones around.
Brandon
Groomsman
Brandon is not only Ryan's Brother in Law but also a close friend. They met years ago when he first started dating Shelbee. We love to see Brandon and the family whenever we can. Brandon is so easy to bond with and so fun to hang out with. After welcoming Ryan into his family back in 2015 he has turned into a close brother to Ryan. He has also blessed us with a sweet nephew and beautiful niece that we absolutely obsess over. Brandon is charming and fun to be around. We are so blessed to share our day with him. At the wedding you'll find Brandon showing off his kids and socializing with family.
Samantha
Bridesmaid
My beautiful cousin Samantha is a Nurse from Ohio. One of three Strain sisters, Sam and I grew up together! From family reunions as babies to beach and Disneyland trips in high school. Mine and Sam's relationship has gotten stronger over the years. Her sweet demeanor and fun loving side makes her so easy to be besties with. I wish Sam and her sisters would move out to California so I could see them more than I do! At the wedding you'll without a doubt see Sam and her Husband Garrett dancing to every song.
Trea
Groomsman
Although Trea wasn't around for the High School days he's still one of Ryans closest friends. Hunter (best man) introduced Trea to the group in 2013 and he couldn't have fit in any better. His hilarious sense of humor and charming personality always keeps everyone laughing. He becomes best friends with everyone he meets and we cant wait to have him in our wedding. At the wedding you'll find Trea making all the Groomsmen laugh.
Scotland
Bridesmaid
Scotland , the quirkiest and cutest dog obsessed cousin that I have! Scotland has always been the cool, fun older cousin to me. When I was younger I wanted to be like Scotland. As we have gotten older our closeness has grown more and more. We vibe over pop culture, dog photoshoots and funny memes. She's a social butterfly everywhere she goes and she's so authentically herself . At the wedding you will probably see Scotland get down to old school Britney Spears or showing people photos of her dogs!
Max
Groomsman
Max was Ryan's first ever friend in Kindergarten and he has remained close ever since. From little league baseball to Orcutt Youth Basketball these two have been besties for the longest time. Although Max has moved out of state he still remains a close friend throughout the years. Although they might not see each other that often they still pick up where they left off every time they are reunited. Max is charming and always goes with the flow of things. We are so happy to have him in our wedding! You will see Max chatting everyone up at the wedding.
Shelby
Bridesmaid
The Ohio cousin that is a California girl at heart! Shelby is the bad ass of the group. We have become the closest over the past few years. I have tried my best to get her to move closer to me and I hope someday soon that actually happens. Even though she lives far away we still text all the time... sharing stories and what tattoos we want to get. She'll beat you at any game or sport. I admire Shelby's confident strong side mixed with her girly goofy side. At the wedding shell probably be the one who catches the bouquet ;)
Brandon
Officiant
I am so honored and blessed to not only have my brother Brandon in my life but to also have him officiate our wedding. I can't think of anyone better! His magnetic energy and wild sense of humor are some our favorite things about him. If you know Brandon you know how passionate and loving he can truly be. The biggest personality in the room (always), the slickest whit and the most fun loving spirit. We are so excited to have him in our wedding and we cant wait to party with him! At the wedding you catch Brandon dancing his heart out.
