Holly & Ed
Wedding Party
Mimi MacDougall
Maid of Honor
Mimi and Holly became friends in the 6th grade First Presbyterian Youth Group. Holly remembers loving Mimi’s long ponytail and spunky way with 6th grade boys. In high school, Holly was at Mimi’s house and Mimi was at Holly’s house at any possible chance. Going on strong with 13 years of friendship!
Kendall Bertrand
Matron of Honor
Kendall and Holly met in Beginner Tennis at Baylor Holly’s first week of school. They went on to be Kappas together and Kendall became Holly’s Big Sister. They both lived in Houston after graduating and Kendall remained one of Holly’s most treasured friends. Even after her move to Greenville, SC, Holly doesn’t feel far from her at all.
Madison Dini
Bridesmaid
Maddy has been in Holly’s life since she was 11 as Holly’s oldest brother Chris’ girlfriend. Maddy would help Holly do prank calls on the family land line. Now Maddy has been Holly’s sister-in-law for the past 7 years! She is the mom of Holly’s favorite kids on the planet, Walker and Eloise. Maddy being around adds so much laughter and happiness to family occasions and has for years!
Haley Draper
Bridesmaid
Haley is Holly’s brand new sister-in-law! Holly is so excited to have Haley in the family and to celebrate all of life’s big moments starting with each others weddings!
Sarah Farley
Bridesmaid
Holly had the honor of living with Sarah for the last year and a half in a magical duplex on Milford St. In that time, Holly has marveled at Sarah’s artistic talent, delicious cooking, and one of a kind ability to make a place feel like home. But mostly, Holly loves Sarah for her genuinely kind presence and uncanny ability to listen and engage with any topic of discussion.
Mary C Montgomery
Bridesmaid
Holly knew Mary C in high school as one of the sweetest girls around. Then when Mary C transferred to Baylor her sophomore year, they got to become close friends and even live together in a magical Big Green House their senior year. Mary C is known to Holly for her lyric memorization, her kind hearted coffee sharing, and her I-mean-business dance face. Mary C will always hold a spot of trusted friend and sage advisor in Holly’s heart.
Frannie Richardson
Bridesmaid
Holly met Frannie while studying abroad in Florence, Italy in 2016. Frannie, Holly and Mimi all went to a meeting in their first days of being in Italy about volunteer opportunities. Frannie sat next to them and from then on we spent every day of that semester in Florence together. Frannie taught Holly all about chasing experiences and living for making stories. Frannie will always be one of the most inspirational people in Holly’s life.
Grace Rummel
Bridesmaid
Grace and Holly became friends in the airport back from a First Presbyterian Youth Group trip to Colorado, Grace was soon leaving to go to college at Baylor University, and Holly couldn’t help but feel sad that she and Grace would have such a short lived friendship because she enjoyed her so much. Low and behold, Holly went to Baylor the next year and stuck to Grace like glue. To this day, Grace makes Holly laugh with her stellar dance moves, and funny stories.
Brenton Smith
Bridesmaid
When did Holly meet Brenton? Only as soon as she was born! Brenton is Holly’s first cousin and pretty much built-in-sister-for-life. Neither of them had sisters and they spent every possible waking moment of their formative years together. From synchronized dances to matching leather boots to being confused as one another by older relatives, they were as close as they could be. Now, Holly has loved getting to spend adult years with Brenton and cry ourselves into laughter over past antics.
Audrey Sommer
Bridesmaid
Holly met Audrey in her seventh grade year at First Presbyterian. Little sixth-grade Audrey was paired with Holly for doubles kickball (couldn’t tell you how to play it). From then on they were inseparable, either laughing or fighting but still connected at the hip. Audrey has the honor of being the friend who has made Holly pee her pants with laughter more than anyone else. They got to go to the same high school, and Holly honestly couldn’t have done it without Audrey and school lunches with trips to buy takis and fruit roll ups at the school store.
Kendall Williams
Bridesmaid
Kendall (or Kendra, as Holly has always called her) is one of Holly’s long time friends. Kendra and Holly have always had a shared deep appreciation for the finer things, such as cooking delicious foods, making cocktails, and in their high school days, #crafting. Kendra is someone Holly is forever grateful to know and call friend.
