Wedding Party
Hailey Darger
Maid of Honor
Kylee and Hailey have been best friends since they were middle schoolers with braces and bad side-parts. Hailey was one of the first people to take Kylee in as the new kid in town, and they formed a quick bond over sports and all things teenage girl. Growing into each other's families and staying close throughout college into adulthood, Hailey introduced Kylee and Grace as bridesmaids for her wedding in 2021. Hailey had met Grace through a medical assisting program senior year of high school, and if it weren't for her, we would have never crossed paths. She is a huge part of both who we are, and why we are. We owe her everything...
Colton Lefler
Man of Honor
Colton and Kylee have been best friends for the last 10 years, initially meeting in the high school track and field program. They vowed that if they were not hitched by 35, they would marry one another. Colton has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly, and there is "nobody better suited to take care of my bride, and stand by her side on our most important day, than Colt. He is handling my most precious cargo, and I could not feel prouder" - Kylee. Grace met Colton around the same time she met Kylee, and from day one it felt like they'd been friends far longer than that. Their friends would describe them as having sibling-like banter, getting into wrestling bouts and having one another's backs through any and everything.
Jaden Stange
Bridesman
As Kylee's younger brother and first sibling, Jaden finds himself as the one and only brides-man in the group. Growing up, there was never a time that they were not laughing, playing, teasing or scheming against parents and siblings, and the same holds true today and will for years to come. This day could not take place without Jaden present as the bond they share is something that Kylee holds closest to her heart.
Morgan Beckstead
Bridesmaid
To know Morgan is to love her. Morgan has been friends with Kylee, Colton and Hailey since high school. Grace met Morgan through Hailey's wedding and, as they grew to know one another, it was an immediate and easy friendship. Both Grace and Kylee (like anyone else) would describe her as one of the most selfless and loyal people you will ever meet - the room is never the same without her around. She is a personified version of the sun, and it was a no-brainer to ask her to be a bridesmaid for their own wedding.
McKaley Kem
Bridesmaid
McKaley is Kylee's one and only sister, something Kylee wished for since she was a little girl. She loves fiercely, and stretches her heart and hands out to those in need without a second thought. "Growing up, she would do anything to put a smile on my face, and I hope I can return that favor over and over for the rest of our lives" - Kylee. McKaley is a near and dear person to both Kylee and Grace's hearts, as she took Grace in like her own sister from the very beginning and has never looked back since.
Ella Pilling
Bridesmaid
Ella is Grace's younger sister. She has been there since day one and, despite some teasing and sisterly feuds, Grace is proud to have such a smart and loving little sister. She is dedicated and resilient, and has a sharp wit and clever sense of humor. She has always been exceptionally open minded and accepting, something that both Grace and Kylee admire. Grace is so excited to see Ella grow and is grateful to have her at her side as she says 'I Do'. Ella accepted Kylee as a sister right away and the two had an immediate and genuine friendship. Kylee cannot wait to add another sister to her family, and Ella is the most perfect fit.
