John & Alye
Wedding Party
Jackie Carr
Maid of Honor
Alye's best friend and soul sister. Jackie and Alye met when they were 12 and playing junior tennis and although they started out wanting to beat each other on the court, they eventually became best friends and have stayed by each other's side ever since!
Jake Haan
Best Man
John's big brother and keeper of the closest secrets. Jake and John's best memories come from riding dirt bikes, golf matches in the yard, playing with bee-bee and airsoft guns, star wars video games, playing about any sport together outside, and exploring the woods on the farm. An inseparable bond formed through years of supporting each other through childhood.
Kinsey Rivers
Bridesmaid
Alye's closest sister in age and boss mom to Alye's newest niece (and flower girl) Reese!
Tony Brandt
Groomsman
John's best friend, golfing buddy, fellow cart boy, roommate, open ear, and many more titles. Tony and John have played thousands of holes of golf together and subsequently created nearly a lifetime full of great memories together. John used to hit it a lot further than Tony believe it or not.
Sydney Morris
Bridesmaid
Alye's older sister who would much rather be hanging out with her dogs, cats, and snakes (she charged the bride on venmo for making her a bridesmaid)
Devin Dickerson
Groomsman
John and Devin met at 5 years old playing T-Ball together and the rest was history. From Devin getting kicked out of 4th grade for "punching" John in the face to stabbing John with a pencil and the tip breaking off in John's arm (the lead is still there today) in Jr. High. The memories are countless.
Raegin Callaway
Bridesmaid
Alye's second oldest sister who is just as competitive as Alye when it comes to card games and almost always end up winning Oh-Hooky-Poo (the family card game that everyone has a love/hate relationship with)
Alan Cunningham
Groomsman
Another teammate from T-Ball, Alan and John had an instant friendship in Kindergarten. Childhood friends continuing throughout high school and college, Alan has always been like another brother to John. From being roommates to dirt track races to convincing Alan to keep playing basketball, the pair have always been extremely close. Ask Alan and Devin why he should've been a cowboy.
Alli Herd
Bridesmaid
Alye's college friend from Massachusetts who she met in sign language class in 2017 and who was essentially adopted into the Darter family as she spent almost all holidays with Alye's family during college
Scott Wichmer
Groomsman
The ex-boyfriend to John's ex-girlfriend, former coworker, and matchmaker. John and Scott have perhaps the most interesting story of becoming friends, and the story poetically leads to Scott introducing the Bride and Groom at a volleyball game!
Emily Seiler
Bridesmaid
Alye's longest friend and (now ex) neighbor who will never let the bride live down the fact that she pulled her chair out from under her in the middle of the lunch room in middle school... on her birthday
Michael Whitlock
Groomsman
John's friend from his Senior year at Greenwood and roommate for 3 years at Mizzou. Michael and John have many memories together from Columbia all the way to the Dominican Republic! Many heated matches of Fifa and 2K could tell hours worth of stories.
