Wedding Party
McKinley Gwyn
Maid of Honor
McKinley is the bride's younger, and only sister. The two are like night and day, however, they are super close and share deep southern roots. McKinley is a great source of entertainment for the bride and groom (if you want an example ask her about how she was asked to be the maid of honor).
Andy Majure
Best Man
Andy Majure is the older, and only brother of the groom. While they frequently fought as children, the two would do anything for each other. They grew up swimming in the creek, filming movies, falling into frozen lakes, and everything in between. The two have always made hilarious films and love making them (ask Andy about their "news casts" they hosted when they were younger).
Kennedy Byrd
Bridesmaid
Kennedy is one of the bride's closest friends. They have been friends since they started school and are still super close. These two attend church together and have gone on many spiritual walks together. Kennedy knows all of the brides best blonde moments (so feel free to ask her about them!)
Henry Ellis
Groomsman
Henry and the groom are close friends and neighbors. They met during the groom's freshman year at college. The two are inseparable. Even though Henry frequently aggravates the groom in the way only a close friend could, the two enjoy watching movies and playing basketball. They also enjoy meals together (ask Henry about him and the grooms favorite sketchy place to eat dinner).
Ava Utt
Bridesmaid
Ava has been one of the bride's close friends since high school. The two played volleyball together and are often found eating or discussing ice. Ava brings a great amount of joy into the bride's life (and the maid of honors, you can't separate them). If you see Ava laughing super hard throughout the night, go check on her (and ask her why she needs to be checked on).
Matthew Currin
Groomsman
Matthew and the groom have been friends since the groom's freshman year of college. The two have shared many road trips to the mountains. They both have incredibly short partners making for a funny height difference. Matt's "bubbly" character is what first led the groom to speak to him (for more information about this ask Matt how the two met).
LillyRuth Beck
Bridesmaid
LillyRuth and the bride’s mothers knew each other growing up, but the two met through dance and theater. The two have recently found out that not only are they both obsessed with the arts, but also with reading and with coffee. The two are often found getting coffee or book shopping while discussing the arts. The two still love dance and theater (if you want to have a fun game, ask LillyRuth on what shows she has done with the bride and naming all ten types of dance the bride is trained in)!
Jonah Hydzik
Groomsman
Jonah and the groom met during the groom's freshman year at college but became close after living together for a year. Jonah single-handedly restored the groom's love for football. The two can be found having deep discussions, especially about Christianity. They enjoy having Bible studies, even if they take place in not traditional ways (ask Jonah about their virtual Bible study).
Leia Shupe
Bridesmaid
Leia and the bride have been friends since childhood. They have been in and out of each other's lives, but in high school they came back together for good. The two have spent a lot of time learning, growing, raising animals, and cooking or baking together. Leia, like the bride, is grandmother (ask her about her and the bride's hobbies and tendencies).
Ricardo Salinas
Groomsman
While the groom has had many roommates, Ricardo is the only one who has stayed with him. These two enjoy singing together and giving their other roommates a concert they will never forget. Ric has expanded the grooms flavor pallet (thankfully). However, with all this cooking comes cleaning, especially of dishes (ask Ric what they used to wash dishes when they ran out of dish pods).
Tia Gwyn
Mother of the Bride
Tia Gwyn in the mother of the bride and they are often referred to as twins. Tia has been the brides biggest guide. She has taught the bride several life skills, helped her through various phases and situation in life, and has taught her how to properly binge watch television. Tia has been able to encourage Karlie in every aspect of life, especially academically. Tia has also encouraged the bride to dress and act her age (feel free to ask her about this).
Carla Majure
Mother of the Groom
Carla Majure is the mother of the groom and one of his biggest motivators. Carla taught the groom many management and planning skills that enabled him to succeed in school. Her love for her family is unmatched and whenever they need something, trust that she'll "go New York" to get it for them (feel free to ask her about this).
Kevin Gwyn
Father of the Bride
Kevin Gwyn is the father of the bride. The bride has been a "daddy's girl" since she was born. Her love of sports and music came from her father. The bride has often joked that her dad wanted boys so much that when he got girls he created college athletes. Kevin has also encouraged the bride in music and singing. At the moment they are in the worship band at their church together, a dream the bride has had since she was little. But being the father of the bride also comes with knowing all the embarrassing stories (ask Kevin about some of these stories).
David Majure
Father of the Groom
David Majure is the father of the groom and a great role model. David inspired the groom's love of classic rock and shares his love of tennis. They've shared long conversations about any and every topic known to man. You can find the two on any late night playing pool and talking about their overlapping music taste (ask David what their only bet on a pool game ever was).
Darian Byrd
Officiant
Both the bride and the groom grew up with Darian in their lives, just in different ways. The bride grew up with Darian as another father figure, as he was her best friend's dad. The groom grew up with Darian as a wonderful neighbor. Eventually, in high school, Darian became both the bride and groom's pastor. The two love Darian, listening to him speak about Jesus and love spending time with him. They are so happy to have Darian marry them.
