Anabelle & Gabriel
Wedding Party
Taylor Jacobs
Bridesmaid
I met Taylor on the soccer field 16 years ago, and from that moment on, we’ve been unshakable. She is the friend who has always pushed me to dream big, believe in myself and trust my gut. T is my long distance best friend who never truly feels distant. She is the strongest person I know, she shines so bright. I am so honored to know and love her.
Sam Tranel
Groomsman
I met Sam in March of 2002 after he was born into the family and it was a real step-brothers moment. I wasn’t sure about this newborn at first but after some time, we became best friends. We have so many memories growing up together and I’m so grateful to have him by my side.
Emily Bielawski
Bridesmaid
Em and I met on a New York trip freshman year of college, and she quickly became such a special part of my life. What started as a dream of being roommates turned into a lifelong friendship. She’s a constant encourager, she always builds others up- and never says no to Vampire Diaries and tequila. Now that she lives in ATX, our big city dreams continue together.
Nick Tranel
Groomsman
Nick is one of those people who has never had a bad day in his life. We’ve shared countless memories growing up and I’ll always be grateful for him allowing me to crash with him for a year in college. He’s taught me so much about life and truly gives 110% in all he does.
Eve Boyd
Bridesmaid
Eve is pure goodness. We met freshman year of college, and from the start, her open heart and genuine love changed my life. She makes people feel deeply seen and cared for, no matter the circumstances. I’m endlessly thankful for her warmth, our endless study sessions, late night talks and beautiful friendship.
Nate Tranel
Groomsman
As the oldest sibling, Nate has trail-blazed a path for the rest of us. He’s always ready to help and to teach. Without Nate leading the way, who knows where the family would be. I’m grateful for his leadership and wisdom and am excited for his support on the big day.
Marybeth Brenden
Bridesmaid
MB came into my life in the summer of 2021 and instantly felt like someone I was meant to know. She’s kind, brave and lights up every room she’s in. From Whitefish to Italy, she’s given me memories of karaoke, whole bottles of wine and adventures that I’ll treasure forever.
Abe Seybert
Groomsman
If there’s any reason I’d ever change my last name, it would be to be more like Abe. Like his sister, he has a naturally positive outlook on life. Without his push to go to high school where he did, this wedding may not be happening. I’m excited to promote him from friend, to brother.
Lily Rivers
Bridesmaid
Lily was my very first best friend, all the way back to first grade. From soccer and sleepovers to growing up side by side, she’s always felt like a sister. She sees the best in everyone, stands up for others, and makes everything (& I mean everything) more fun. I’m so grateful for a friendship that has lasted 20 years and still feels the same.
Eli Boyd
Groomsman
If you haven’t yet met Eli, I’m so sorry. He’s truly the salt of the earth and always ready to support however he can. His constant pursuit for life to the fullest inspires everyone he meets. If Eli outlives me, I hope he’d give my eulogy ;)
Madeline Tranel
Bridesmaid
I met Maddie when Gabe and I first started dating, and I’ve loved watching her grow into the incredible person she is today. She’s brilliant, resilient, soft-hearted, and full of big dreams. Gaining her as a sister has been one of the greatest gifts, and I can’t wait for all the memories still ahead.
Jared Brenden
Groomsman
I was lucky enough to meet Jared in college and he’s changed my life ever since. He’s a natural leader and is always responsible for bringing people together. He always goes above and beyond and would take a bullet for those he cares about. He’s not one to mess with as I’m pretty sure he can squat a school bus.
