Wedding Party
Sandra Walker

Sandra was Laken’s neighbor and best friend since 2014. We have many, many memories, both and good and bad together. We have been together for many of our lives greatest milestones!
Ashley Evans
Matron of Honor
Ashley came into Laken’s life in 2012 when she and Josiah started dating! We met her at Zoey’s 1st birthday party where everyone was excited and yelled “ Joe brought a girl!!!!!” We have loved her ever since! Ashley is our sassy bestie!
Paula Beckham
Mother of the Groom
Paula is Ryan's mother. We are really excited to have her down in Georgia to be apart of not only today but everyday.
Zoey Ward
Honorary Bridesmaid
Zoey is Laken's oldest daughter. She is spunky, goofy and full of laughs. She is a great big sister to Aden and Gabby as well as her step sister Karter. We are excited to have her be one of our Honorary Bridesmaids. We could not have this special day without her!
Gabby Ward
Honorary Bridesmaid
Gabriella Marie is Laken's middle daughter. She is a sassy, animal and nature loving, smart kid with a big 70's vibe. She keeps everyone on there toes with her unique ability to sneak up on anyone. We are blessed to have her as a Honorary Bridesmaid. She is another essential member we could not have this day without!
Alissa Beckham
Honorary Bridesmaid
Alissa is our big kid. She is the oldest of our 5 blended children and Ryan's oldest child. Alissa loves to weld, sleep and is an awesome to all of her siblings. She has a mama mentality at home. She is also a soon to be graduate at CCHS! We are honored to see her in a dress (family joke) for our special day!
Patrick Burke
Best Man
Patrick aka Patty Cake is Ryan's best friend and bromance. Ryan and Patrick have rode wheelers together for many years. Patrick has been there for us for anything we have ever need even when I just needed the trash can taken up the driveway (ask him about that one!) Ryan could not think of a more fitting person for his Best Man than Patty Cake.
Airen Beckham
Honorary Best Man
Airen is the oldest boy child, Ryan's only boy, the smart kid, the 40 year old in a 14 year old's body. He is our jokester and our financial advisor (this kid is a money wiz). Ryan could not choose between his 2 favorite guys so Airen and Pat are both best men. Airen however is our honorary best man and second ring bearer. Be looking for good joke with this kid! We would not have nearly as much fun on our day without him!
Aden Ward
Honorary Ring Bearer
Aden is Laken's only son and youngest kiddo. He is fully of energy, giggles, and is a big ol mama's boy! He loves Pokemon and swimming. He will be the ring bearer on our special day so look out for this handsome fella to come down the isle.
Josiah Evans
Usher Of The Bride and Groomsman
Josiah aka Joe is Laken's long time best guy friend. Joe is Laken's kids uncle. Joe is also Ashley's husband. My dad can't be with us for this special day so Joe will be standing in for him. Daddy thought the world of Joe when he was alive. Ryan is also having Joe be one of his groomsmen, though I am pretty sure that is to torture him! We are honored to have him be such a big part of our special day!
Marie Burke
Keeper of the Chaos
Marie is our biggest hype person, calmer of the chaos, keeper of Patty Cake and one of our favorite people. She’s always down for most anything and is always there when we call. Marie is not someone you’ll ever forget and we are so blessed to have her in our life.
