Home

Wedding Party

Meet our family and friends who are walking down the aisle with us!

Erinn Smith

Matron of Honor

Erinn and Elise are cousins, but she has always been more of a big sister to Elise. She took Elise under her wing in the world and always gives the best fashion advice! Erinn always makes time for family and will always stop what she is doing to help out in any way that she can whether that is a phone call or driving 6hours in a storm to make sure Elise and Jared had the most perfectly decorated engagement party. Erinn means so much to Elise and she feels so honored to have Erinn standing next to her as she says "I Do" to Jared.

Josh Messer

Best Man

Josh is Jared's older brother and has always had his brothers back. It only makes sense that he is standing by his side as he marries Elise. Growing up as a military child has its set of problems including moving from place to place, but Jared always had Josh to look up to and help him adjust in every new place they found themselves in. Josh is always up for a friendly debate on just about anything, so its a good thing he decided to become a lawyer!

Lily Primeaux

Maid of Honor

Lily is the younger sister of the bride. Elise was so happy the day she found out she was going to have a younger sister. Elise grew up loving to dance and she is so happy she gets to share this love with her sister. These sisters share a love of dance, Disney, and shopping. Lily has a loving heart and Elise feels so blessed to be her big sister.

Alec Carden

Groomsman

Alec is Jared's cousin, but he has always been more like a brother to him. They frequently would spend holidays together and go on family vacations. Alec is currently in Law School in Arizona at Arizona State University.

Joy Baker

Bridesmaid

Joy and Elise met in college through their sorority Tri Delta. They really got close as roommates during their last 2 years at Baylor. Joy has such a sweet servant's heart and she always steers Elise towards the Lord. It is a blessing to see Christ's love shine through her.

Conor Kilburn

Groomsman

Conor and Jared have been friends since high school when Jared moved to Edmond Oklahoma. They quickly hit it off through baseball and that friendship only strengthened throughout the years. They still make time each and every year to go watch the Baylor Bears beat the OU Sooners at football (although Baylor's record is actually 3-5 over the last 8 years, Jared will never admit it and frequently brings up the 3 total victories in the history of the school).

Coleen Guillory

Bridesmaid

Coleen and Elise met at the tender age of 6 in their first grade class. They bonded over lemonade stands and selling jewelry together every day after school. Coleen has become a sister to Elise through the years. No matter the distance these two have remained close for the last 21 years.

Tyler Kincer

Groomsman

Jared has known Tyler since he was in middle school. Tyler and Jared's older brother Josh were really good friends and would frequently let a young Jared tag along. Over the years the relationship hasn't changed much and Josh and Tyler still let Jared tag along. They annually get together to have a board game weekend where Jared frequently claims victory!

Brenda Hernandez

Bridesmaid

Brenda and Elise met in undergrad at Baylor University, but it wasn't until Dental School that the two became best friends. Neither of them knew the other had applied, but each were very happy to see a familiar face on the first day. The two quickly became close and have endured many study days together and have made many memories. Elise couldn't have endured the struggles of school without her and feels so blessed to have found a friend in Brenda.

Aaron Kirkman

Groomsman

Aaron and Jared have known each other since they were 8 years old and have remained best friends ever since. One of their best memories is the time they hiked 10 miles in the middle of summer to a mysterious place called Seven Falls only to discover there were a total of zero waterfalls once they got there. They made the best of the situation and still enjoyed the journey. Very rarely will you ever find a frown on Aaron's face as he is one of the most fun-loving guys around.

Kyleigh Johnson

Bridesmaid

Kyleigh was Elise's 'big' in their sorority Tri Delta at Baylor. Little did they know this pairing would lead to lifetime friendship! They first bonded over their love for tex-mex and sonic. Kyleigh has moved far away to Georgia, but Elise still has her fingers crossed she will make her way back to her Texas roots ;) .

Kyle Primeaux

Groomsman

Kyle is the younger brother of Elise. Elise grew up an only child and always prayed for a younger sibling. Kyle was the first sibling God blessed into her life and she feels so lucky to call him her brother. He attempts to teach her how to play video games as she stays confused and usually just ends up watching. Kyle has such a kind heart with an easy-going spirit and is an awesome athlete. He is starting to look at colleges - Elise and Jared rooted for Baylor ;) even though it didn't make the list lol they are excited to visit Kyle wherever he decides to go!

Ashley Lau

Bridesmaid

Ashley and Elise met in college through their sorority. They really got close when Elise moved to Houston. Through their laughs during flag football leagues and Ashley helping Elise understand football, these two created a lot of memories. Ashely's sweet heart is always willing to lend a listening ear and offer great wisdom. She is a cherished friend!

Jim Stingley

Groomsman

Jim and Jared became roommates their freshman year at Baylor. There were many nights where the two would sit around their dorm room and play Call of Duty: Nazi Zombies. Jim and Jared both went their separate ways after their freshman year, but never lost touch. They would meet for lunch and catch up on everything that had been going on in each others lives. Jim most recently introduced Jared to a Malaysian dish called Char kway teow and it has become one of his favorites!

Alex Woo

Bridesmaid

Alex and Elise's friendship began their freshman year in college when they met through their sorority. The friendship grew strong and they became roommates which brought many late night talks, game nights and so many adventures. Alex was with Elise right before her first date with Jared and was a waiting for all of the details after. She has been a constant, loving friend to both Elise and Jared throughout their relationship.

Armando Valenzuela

Groomsman

Armando is Elise's cousin. They grew up together and were often found playing golf with their grandpa in the backyard as kids. Armando is always up for an adventure. He would frequently travel to Waco to visit Jared and Elise in college.
