Bride
Groom
Maid of Honor
Maggie is Brenna's lifelong BFF - they have been friends since they were just 4 years old! She has seen Brenna through all her awkward and uncomfortable phases, every milestone and achievement, and all the small moments in between. Brenna admires Maggie's fun spirit, how deeply she cares for those she loves, and how they can always pick up right where they left off, no matter how much time or distance separated them before!
Best Man
Thomas and Jeremy met when Thomas was born (they're brothers). They obviously have known each other for a long time and have gotten into a lot of trouble together, like the many times they played full-contact football in their parents' basement. Jeremy is grateful that Thomas took time out of his busy fishing schedule to be present at his wedding.
Bridesmaid
Hope and Brenna met when they were placed on the same "team" at Duke as physical therapy students (Team Juan for life). While Brenna referred to Hope as her "mom" in grad school, the two of them also enjoyed participating in various shenanigans outside of class, like basketball games or lounging by the Woodstone pool. Brenna admires Hope's perseverance, how she remains steady in the midst of chaos, and how she can always make a person feel calm and at home.
Groomsman
Hunter and Jeremy met as high school classmates and football and baseball teammates. They love to make poor decisions together, like the time they flew to Las Vegas to party, run a half marathon, and gamble all over the span of 3 days. Jeremy is looking forward to also being a groomsman in Hunter's wedding..... someday, maybe.
Bridesmaid
Brenna also met Maggie when they were placed on the same "team" at school (if you're not first, you're last - right?). They bonded over their shared commitment to getting front-row spots at Duke basketball games, being the only girl in a home with crazy brothers, and the experience (trauma?) of being on the Duke DPT "gear sale" committee. Brenna admires Maggie's contagious fun energy, her competitive spirit, and how she always lifts up and supports her friends.
Groomsman
Payton is Jeremy's cousin, and also his friend and former teammate. They became particularly close when they were neighbors in Watford City, where they had weekly trips to the grocery store and Outsiders bar and grill. While he is usually responsible for closing down the Bison in Hazen, we expect him to be closing down our wedding night as well.
Bridesmaid
Shantel and Brenna met in high school while writing for the school newspaper, and became great friends along the way! They also spent time working together at Midwest Vision Centers, but Brenna cherishes most all of the trips they took to Dairy Queen during school hours which they liked to call "important newspaper business". Brenna admires Shantel's firey passion, how she wears her heart on her sleeve, and how she makes everyone she meets feel comfortable and cared for.
Groomsman
Randy and Jeremy met in elementary school and have remained friends since. Jeremy has enjoyed watching Randy become a fantastic husband and father, and what a great coincidence when he married one of Brenna's friends from high school too! Randy was always Jeremy's first pick for playground football, so he had to be picked as a groomsman too.
Bridesmaid
Morgan and Brenna met in middle school and quickly bonded over their many similar interests and hobbies. They have a history of snowballing on each other's bad (and sometimes good) ideas, like the time they rode cheap plastic cars for miles down the highway to Morgan's house, which was just as inefficient as it was dangerous. Brenna admires Morgan's drive and determination, how she stands up for what she believes in, and how she prioritizes the people she loves most.
Groomsman
Matt and Jeremy met in elementary school and eventually became college roommates. Matt liked to call Jeremy "dad" and when he began calling Brenna "mom" it seemed this day was inevitable. You'll be able to tell who he is by how often he takes credit for being the match-maker or shows you a picture of his dog, Kevin.
