Sierra & Keegan
Wedding Party
Delaney Kjellsen
Maid of Honor
Delaney and I met in 5th grade at the children's choir at church. We have been inseparable since. Sometimes we are so similar it's scary, but it's nice to always have someone who will relate to what I'm going through. Even though Delaney lives in Colorado right now, our weekly 3-hour phone calls make the distance seem much more bearable. Delaney also officiated our wedding license ceremony in July 2021. She is the closest thing I've had to a sister, and one of my best friends. -Sierra Delanathan and Sierra are more complementary than peanut butter and jelly. She is one of the most consistent people I have ever met, which is one of the things I appreciate about her. She's sincere, caring, and one of the nicest people I have come to know. Delany is an amazing friend to Sierra and I'm so happy she has someone like her to talk to. She might be short, but she has a big heart. -Keegan
McKenzie Cooper
Matron of Honor
Mac is my cousin, makeup guru, best friend, and go-to for all the life advice. She is the life of any party and never fails to bring a smile to my face. We love to tell the story of when we found out we were related. We both showed up to a family vacation and thought it was the coolest thing that we had our friend just happened to also be there, just then realizing that we were cousins. I feel so lucky to have family that I can also call my friend.- Sierra I know everyone wishes they had a person that was consistently looking in their best interest and on Thanksgiving 2021 that was Mac. Mac pulled me aside at Thanksgiving before I went out of town for work and asked me if I was going to marry Sierra. My answer was subpar when I said "eventually." Little did she know I already had a plan to purpose when I came back to North Carolina. She was the first person I called when I decided I needed help planning my proposal and she was so happy she screamed and I'm pretty sure I still have hearing loss from that. -Keegan
Sean Kearns
Best Man
Sean, there's only three things you need to know: he never answers his phone, he can drink anyone under the table, and he's one of the few people I can rely on at a moments notice (assuming he answers the phone). Seriously though, Sean and I began our friendship over a work trip in Virgina when I first moved to North Carolina. Sean's been through thick and thin with me, but through it all he's seen me for who I am. He will forever hold a place in my heart, and will always be my "best man." - Keegan Sean is the person that will always show up for you, he has the most contagious laugh he is the person I call about any and all medical advice, and he has become like a brother to me over these past few years. Plus, we're undefeated in beer pong :) -Sierra
Camille Haury
Bridesmaid
I met Cam when she was an exchange student from France, and I was starting my first year at UNC. We were randomly assigned as roommates. I walked into our apartment for the first time to find her shoving beer into her purse before she ran out and I was immediately terrified of what I just walked into. It turns out that I walked into meeting one of the best friends I ever had. Cam is one of the sweetest, kindest, smartest most thoughtful people that I know. We've had so many adventures and good times together both here and in France. Even with the 6 hour time difference, Cam is still always there for me.- Sierra Though I have never met Cam in person I can tell she is an amazing person just by the stories I hear from Sierra. I look forward to finally meeting her in person.-Keegan
Annie Futrell
Bridesmaid
Annie and I have been friends since we met in baby swim class, and then again at the downtown playground with our moms in preschool. We have been truly lifelong friends, and have seen each other through the ups and downs of it all. Her family has become my family. Annie is always ready for an adventure, kicks my butt in the gym, and is one of the strongest, kindest, weirdest people I know, and I cannot imagine doing life without her by my side. -Sierra Some of the best memories with Annie is spending some holidays and birthdays with her and her family, they are the most welcoming people I have ever met. Annie is probably the only person that continues to call me by my childhood nickname of "keegs" and I'm almost certain I didn't tell her that was my old nickname. Annie's easy going and likes to steal cups from bars.-Keegan
Rick Catania
Groomsman/Officiant
Rick and I met outside of his parents house in front of the garage sitting on the concrete because it was the pandemic and he just got back from Germany. The best thing about Rick is that he is always down for a good time and his dance moves are on point. Although we met through Sierra, we grew to be great friends. - Keegan I met Rick in high school and got to know him more once he started dating Mac. He is hands down one of the goofiest people you will ever meet, but also one of the kindest. I learned what a good relationship should look like from the way that he treated Mac. We got even closer over the pandemic when we were all quarantine buddies, dance buddies, and co-creators of beer-olympics.- Sierra
Steven Correa
Groomsman
He is one of the kind souls that you feel lucky to meet once, and lucky enough for me I have had the opportunity to call him a good friend. He's always down for a good time if he's in town. Steven is one of the most traveled people I've ever met and always has a good story about where he has been.- Keegan Steven is one of the easiest people to have a conversation with, he speaks from the heart, and he can always make you laugh. He has always made me feel welcome and a part of the group. -Sierra
Rilie Bennardini
Groomswoman
Rillie!! She has been the GOAT friend for a long time. Every time we talk we pick up like it was yesterday. She's one of the most caring and kind people that have ever walked the earth, although I'm sure she'll be the first to tell you different. To be honest I couldn't tell you how we met, it was just a natural easy friendship. Just don't ask her to play soccer. -Keegan I met Rilie right after Keegan and I first met and she was visiting him. Right away, I felt like she was my friend too, and constantly made me laugh. Even though she didn't know me at all, she was so kind to me and made me feel like I fit right in with them. -Sierra
Karsen Atherton
Groomsman
My little brother, what else is there to say other than "you can't pick your family." Just kidding, he's one of the best little brothers someone could ask for. Countless stories could be told about our 21 years on this earth together, none of which are safe for the internet. -Keegan Karsen is the younger brother I've never had- he loves to scare me, and loves to mess with me. He made me feel like I was a part of their family immediately and still makes me feel like that every single time we see each other. - Sierra
