Michael & Brent
Wedding Party
Michael Johnston II
Groom
Michael has lived all over the world. He met Brent shortly after Peace Corp in the Fort Worth Dallas area, and they have now been together through thick and thin for the last 5 years. When he is not working in real estate, he loves to travel.
Brent Farrar
Groom
While living in Denver, he met Michael on a dating app while passing through Texas. After 5 years of dating, the two have become a unit. He flies all over the country as a pilot for Spirit Airlines, but is always excited to come home to Michael in Grapevine, Texas. He loves politics, travel and reading.
Katie Ramsbottom
Best Woman
Michael's youngest sister, architect extraordinaire. Katie lives in Omaha, Nebraska with her husband, Jake, and their two children, Eleanor and Isaac. As an architect, she has a keen eye for detail and design, but her secret power is creating a warm and inviting home that always looks like something out of a Home and Garden Magazine.
Wade Farrar
Best Man
Hold on to your hats, folks! Wade is the louder and more expressive version of Brent. He is an incredible guy that not only fought in the Iraq War, but also used to live in Germany. Currently he is a pilot for Delta Air Lines. He is a father to two sweet little girls, Lila and Neve, and husband to an incredible wife, Renee. Please have a drink with Wade at the wedding, we promise this will absolutely ensure you a great time.
Andrea Yager
Best Woman
Michael's middle sister is the glue that keeps the Johnston family together. She does this all while being married to Ryan, working as a successful carpet saleswoman, and raising twin boys, Gavin and Garrett. We always question where she gets the energy to do it all. At the wedding, look for Andrea if Michael needs somebody to get him in a good mood. She has a knack for getting him to laugh.
Bradford Farrar
Father of the Groom
Often considered Abraham Lincoln-esque, with a penchant for useful yet unexpected facts, Brent's father offers marvelous yet fascinating conversation at the drop of a hat. Be ready to answer a thousand questions, and expect him to listen intently to every word you say. When not working in software or studying investment strategy, he loves to ski Keystone Ski Resort and travel the world. If you catch him wandering around at the wedding, just tell him about your next vacation.
Michael Johnston I
Father of the Groom
Mike is a no nonsense, high expectations business man with a big heart for his family. When he isn't busy running his thriving marble and granite business, you can usually find him at his "Man Cave" behind the house with his German Shepard June. He enjoys working in the yard, fishing and hunting. If you catch him at the wedding, ask him about his last hunt and you will make his day.
Lynne Farrar
Mother of the Groom
Quite the hippie at heart, she loves God, books, and animals. If you put her in the mountains, give her a latte, a warm blanket, and a great novel, she can withstand any storm life can throw at her. Take a moment to chat with her at the wedding and you will absolutely adore her.
Theresa Johnston
Mother of the Groom
There are few on the planet as wonderful as Teri. She is sweet regardless of circumstance, and can somehow accomplish more in one morning, than most can accomplish in a lifetime. She is a master communicator and a consummate hostess with an uncanny ability to make everybody feel welcome in her world.
Lila Farrar
Flower Girl
Renee and Wade Farrar's eldest daughter, and sister of Neve, Lila loves being outside without coats, jumping off the couch, skiing, puzzles and reading books. She is fascinated by airplanes, especially yellow ones, and watching YouTube dentistry videos. If you catch her at the wedding, ask her to "Tell me about your day," and be ready for a cute response.
Eleanor Ramsbottom
Flower Girl
The daughter of Katie and Jake Ramsbottom, sister to Isaac, Eleanor is a Disney princess at heart. She spends hours playing dress up in princess dresses, so we expect she will be well prepared to adorn her flower girl dress for the wedding. She also loves books, and playing with her cousins Gavin and Garrett.
Alaska Harston
Officiant
Alaska was Brent's simulator partner during his initial training at Spirit Airlines. They have been great friends ever since. As an official wedding officiant, he offered to perform the wedding ceremony for us and we gladly accepted. There is nobody on the planet like Alaska. With a kind heart, and just the right amount of quirkiness, he will make you smile a few times at the wedding. If you get a chance, ask him about his amazing travels with his awesome wife Pamela.
Gavin Yager
Ring Bearer
Gavin loves all things Batman and Spider-Man, reading, and playing horses and soldiers. Not unlike his Uncle Michael, he harbors a strong curiousity about the world around him. He spends hours contemplating how things work and can often be found deep in thought studying the mechanical aspects of his toys. He has a contagious smile that lights up a room, and at daycare he is considered a ladies man, often found walking girls down the hall with his hand on their backs.
Garrett Yager
Ring Bearer
Garrett also enjoys riding bikes, wearing superhero costumes, and playing with horses and soldiers. He loves to hit a golf ball like his father, and having books read to him at Grandma's house. An avid Paw Patrol fan, he is great at getting Uncle Brent up to speed on Chase and the crew. Sometimes thought of as a "momma's boy", this is the same little boy that refers to his mother as "his princess."
