Wedding Party
Haley Burkhart
Co-Maid of Honor
Haley and I met in kindergarten and became instant friends. We have been inseparable since. Through awkward middle school phases, early morning band practices, tennis tournaments, and managing being "long-distance" friends in college, we have stayed best friends!! Haley has been there for me in so many different ways throughout my life, and I am honored to have her standing next to me at my wedding.
Juan Garcia
Best Man
There was no doubt in my mind that Juan was going to be my best man. We instantly clicked when we met playing in the worship band at church during our senior year of high school. We got so close in such a short span of time, it felt like we had known each other for years. We have been there for each other through thick and thin, and I am proud to call him my best friend.
Graciela Gain
Co-Maid of Honor
Gracie and I met at New Student Orientation for ACU. During Wildcat Week, we reconnected and have been best friends ever since. Our memories together are countless, and it has been so special to have such a good friend by my side throughout college. This year marks our third year living together, and I cannot wait for the memories that will come.
Corbin Moses
Groomsman
Corbin and I met in the percussion studio during my sophomore year and his freshman year. We ended up getting super close a year later and have spent the majority of our free time together. I hang out with this guy almost every day and it is truly a blessing. I do not know how my experience at ACU would have been without Corbin, and I am beyond thankful to have this guy in my corner at all times.
Hannah Bondoc
Matron of Honor
Hannah is my older sister and I have always looked up to her my whole life. I am lucky to have Hannah not only as my sister, but also as my friend. One of my fondest memories was being a bridesmaid at her wedding, and I am so lucky to have her by my side on my special day. Also pictured is our flower girl and ring bearer, March and Roman! Getting to be an aunt has been one of the biggest joys yet, and I know they're going to rock the aisle on the big day!
Bret Bondoc
Groomsman
Bret is not just my brother-in-law, but has become like an actual brother to me. Bret has the most endearing and loving heart that I have ever seen. From the moment I met Bret, I knew we were going to get along and would be the best duo in the Flanagan family ;) He has such a kind soul and is a man I look up to and truly aspire to be like.
Whitney Jones
Bridesmaid
Whitney and I have been next-door neighbors our whole lives! Growing up, there would not go a day that Whitney wasn't knocking on my door, asking to see me. My first memory of Whitney was literally when she was born when we visited her at the hospital. Whitney and I consider ourselves to be sisters, and I know I can always count on her for laughter and endless support.
Linkin Ezell
Best Man
Linkin and I have been through thick and thin together. Being my little brother with an 11 year age gap was difficult for a time, but over the years, I found it to be a blessing. Together, we make two different perspectives of everything. Link is one of the smartest kids I have seen, and I am so proud of him in everything he does. I am beyond proud to call him one of my best men.
Alexa Flores
Bridesmaid
Alexa is not only my cousin but has also been a steady and supportive friend throughout the years. Some of my favorite childhood memories include hunting centipedes and horny toads at the ranch, sleepovers at Mimi and Poppa's, and cramming four kids and two adults into one hotel room for a beach trip. My sister, Alexa, and I have had a pact with each other to all be bridesmaids in each others wedding and I am so happy that we have remained close going into adulthood.
Preston Miles
Groomsman
Preston is the cousin that I have spent the most time with and have some of my fondest childhood memories with. I still remember building Lego rocket ships with Diet Coke and Mentos in the summer. Preston and I grew up together, and I am so thankful he is going to be part of the wedding.
Makeda Marquardt
Bridesmaid
Makeda and I became friends in sixth grade and have been best friends ever since. She became my go-to girl, the person I sat next to in class, and shared so many laughs together. We have so many fun memories from high school bible studies, church camps, and countless tennis trips, I have been so blessed by her friendship and getting to grow alongside her for so much of our lives.
Kyle Kirk
Groomsman
Kyle is not only my cousin, but as everyone seems to think, my twin, brother, one in the same. I still remember him yelling and someone thinking it was me, or doing a face swap filter and not knowing which one of us was which. It really feels like hanging out with an almost same version of myself. Kyle has the most kind-hearted and caring soul I have seen out of anyone, and I love that we are always seen as the same.
Rachael Oas
Bridesmaid
I met Rachael during a sorority rush my freshman year of college. I immediately knew that we were going to be friends, and she became the reason I joined the sorority Tri Kappa Gamma. She became my big and one of my closest friends in college, and we spent countless weekends together from that point on. I know I can always rely on Rachael when I need her, and I am so grateful for our friendship.
Taigen Hall
Groomsman
Taigen and I met in drumline during my sophomore year of high school, but we got close the following year when he stood next to me on the snare line. Countless hours of standing next to each other grew a friendship that I am extremely thankful for. He is one of my ride-or-dies, and I know I can go to him about anything.
Avaree Hernandez
Bridesmaid
Avaree and I go way back to seventh-grade tennis. We became really close our freshman year of high school and have remained close ever since. Thinking back to high school, so many memories that I have revolve around Avaree making me laugh in the locker room or at tennis practice. Avaree has been such a steady friend in my life and I am so thankful for her!
Landon Kirk
Groomsman
Landon is the youngest of the Kirk brothers and we love to tease him about it, even since we were kids. Although we left him out sometimes, or teased him about his age, he always stood on his own two feet, and that is what I respect about him, he always gets back up. I love spending time with Landon, whether it be hanging out together, or playing the game, he's always fun to be around, and every time I see him, I know it will be a fun time.
Grace Fortner
Bridesmaid
Grace and I met during the rushing process when I was a sophomore in college and she was a freshman. We instantly bonded over our shared interests, especially our shared obsession with Little Women. In fact, we love Little Women so much that we went to Massachusetts together this winter to see the original "Little Women" house. Through countless "luns" walks, hangouts, and late nights, we have become such close friends, and I am so grateful for her and her sweet spirit.
Karissa Ward
Groomswoman
Karissa and I met freshman year of college during band camp. 3 months into knowing her, I find out that she was Kyla's first friend! The city of coincidences never leaves me bored. During our annual trip to TMEA sophomore year, we really connected, talking on the whole 4 hour trip. Getting to know Karissa has been a blessing and I love having her as one of my closest friends and can't wait for the years of friendship to come.
Audrey Kutz
Bridesmaid
Audrey and I became friends when she was rushing at ACU her freshman year. She reached out to me on Instagram, and we got coffee together. What was really supposed to be a 30-minute coffee date turned into a 2-and-a-half-hour hangout, and I immediately knew I wanted her to be my little. Audrey became one of my dearest friends during the time that we have become big and little and we share such a special bond.
Noah Kirk
Groomsman
Noah is one of the oldest out of the Kirk brothers. He was always the responsible one in our group growing up, and would make sure we stayed out of trouble...or in trouble. I respect this guy so much for all that he does, whether that be consistently working hard, or always down to hangout. Having him as an older cousin to look up to has been something I'll always appreciate.
