Wedding Party
Brooke Cowsert
Matron of Honor
Brooke and I have shared nine years of friendship, two companies, and more weekend adventures than I can count. What started as coworkers quickly turned into a lifelong friendship. Brooke has the rare gift of making everyone around her feel known and loved. Before my parents moved to Dallas, her sweet family welcomed me in like one of their own. We’ve celebrated and shared every milestone together from work promotions to new homes. Last December, I stood by her side as she married one of my closest college friends, Kyler. They’ll be celebrating their one year anniversary in December 2025!
Makenzie Nelson
Bridesmaid
Makenzie has been my dear friend for 9 years. She is incredibly thoughtful and always remembers the small details. We've spent many nights watching the Bachelor, taking and teaching dance classes together, and tasting wine around Napa (her parents make my favorite Cab ever). Hunter and I have collected some amazing memories on the trips we’ve taken with Makenzie and her husband Drew this past year. We feel so lucky to have these two as lifelong friends and we can't wait to love on their first baby boy, who is due in March.
Hagan Lane
Bridesmaid
Hagan and I became friends at my first job after college when we sat just two seats apart. I quickly learned she has a knack for turning every moment into a good time and knew I had to be friends with her. I was new to Dallas so Hagan invited me to her church, which has since become a special part of Hunter’s and I's life. Hagan and her husband, Niko, are incredible hosts. Evenings at their home are always filled with joy and laughter thanks to their two adorable children. They recently celebrated 6 years of marriage and continue to keep life lively, balancing travel, friends, and being amazing parents.
Alex Teiber
Bridesmaid
Alex and I became friends at our first job out of college in 2016. In our nine years of friendship, we’ve shared some of my favorite memories. From weekend girls’ trips to her legendary Halloween parties, she has a way of making any moment feel like a core memory. Her humor keeps me laughing constantly with some of the most quotable moments in our friend group. Unwaveringly generous and loyal, Alex is the definition of a ride-or-die friend who shows up without hesitation. Alex and her husband, Chad, are amazing parents to their little boy, and they are excitedly welcoming another in February.
Harrison Redd
Best Man
Harrison is my youngest brother and closest friend. He's equal parts deep thinker and entertainer. He's the kind of person who can lead a debate, play a song on his guitar, or have the whole room laughing within minutes. Harrison lives in Frisco with his wife, Laurel Ann, and runs his own cybersecurity business.
Daniel Wacker
Best Man
Daniel and I have been friends since high school and have shared countless memories as college & post-grad roommates. Daniel is one of the smartest people I know, with the kind of wit, humor, and energy that can turn any ordinary day, unforgettable. Daniel currently lives in Denver with his girlfriend, Annie, and has been a constant source of support and wisdom in Erica and I's life.
Hayden Hamon
Groomsman
Hayden is my oldest brother and has always looked out for me with the kind of steady and genuine care that only an older brother can. He's the go-to tech expert in the family, a great chef, and the ultimate dog whisperer. When he's not problem solving at work or exploring the outdoors, Hayden is spending time with his wife, Meredith, at their home in Oklahoma City.
Hudson Hamon
Groomsman
Hudson is my brother and my Irish Twin (11 months apart), which means we've been side by side for nearly everything in life. He's a modern-day philosopher who is always reading and taking on new challenges. Whether we're hiking the San Juan Mountains or debating life's big questions, Hudson always brings a newfound humor, depth, and perspective. Hudson now lives in Stillwater, Oklahoma with his girlfriend, Charlie.
Mitch Capretta
Groomsman
Mitch and I met at orientation at Texas A&M, where he immediately became on of the most genuine and loyal friends. Mitch has the best taste in music, a love for film that rivals most critics, and a die-hard dedication to Cleveland sports (for better or worse). No matter what's going on, Mitch is always there, steady, supportive, and ready for anything. Mitch is currently finishing up his final year of Law School here in Dallas.
Sterling Swords
Groomsman
Sterling and I go way back to our Texas A&M days. We were roommates, accounting classmates, and late-night Whataburger regulars. He’s an Aggie through and through, an intramural quarterback legend, and the quickest wit in any room. When he’s not two-stepping at the Elephant Saloon, you can probably find him hunting in Kansas or cheering on the Aggies. Sterling and his wife, Claudia, are loving their new chapter as parents to their adorable five-month-old son.
Teigen Ahrens
Groomsman
Teigen's been my best friend since high school and the guy who's had my back since day one. We've lived together, conquered COVID, and laughed our way through every facet of life. From ski trips, watching Cowboys games, and starting our careers, he's always been there and kept everyone smiling. Teigen now calls Bozeman, Montana home, where he lives with his girlfriend, Kristy.
Jon Schultz
Groomsman
Jon is not just my cousin, he's been a built-in best friend from the beginning. We've grown up side by side, and he's always been a role model, a steady source of wisdom, and a constant inspiration to me. He now lives in Arkansas with his wife, Jessica, and their two kids. Their family continues to grow with twins on the way this spring!
Russ Schultz
Officiant
Russ is Hunter's uncle and a spiritual pillar in the family. For over 30 years, he grew, led, and directed the Christian ministry camp, New Life Ranch. Russ now pours into others through active support of the international missionary organization, Josiah Venture. He and his wife, Deedra, led Erica and Hunter through marriage counseling, offering thoughtful counsel and encouragement rooted in faith. Russ currently lives in Arkansas where he is a father of six, coffee lover, soccer fan, and D.I.Y. master. We are incredibly honored to have him officiate our wedding.
