Wedding Party
Christina Varela
Maid of Honor
I met Christina during my last few months in Lubbock. While we quickly bonded over common interests like Grey’s Anatomy and good Champagne - it wasn’t until we were both living in Fort Worth that our friendship truly blossomed. Christina is my go-to for almost anything. She is always up for a margarita, a good football game, and exploring a new part of the world. I couldn’t imagine my wedding without her by my side.
Guy Liljenwall
Best Man
When Guy was born, I knew that we would not only be brothers, but also best friends! With Guy being the youngest member of the family, he always got perks that I didn't. Growing up he always seemed to do nothing wrong and always seem to get me into trouble! But when I left for college Guy and I got extremely close. He would always want to come visit and would cancel plans anytime I would come home. I’m excited to have Guy next to me on our special day!
Ashley Boeger
Bridesmaid
I met Ashley quickly after moving to Fort Worth. While we’re both Red Raiders, we didn’t meet until after college. Our love of country concerts and everything Fort Worth made her a friend for life. Even though she has moved over 550 miles away back home to Kansas, our friendship has stayed strong. Thank god for short flights and hour long face-times! I can’t wait to have her by my side.
John Shockley
Groomsman
John was my first friend at TCU. We bonded over our shared interests such as TCU sports, golf, and good beer. We were roommates for our last 2 years at TCU. He has since moved home to Kentucky and I have been trying to convince him to move back to Texas ever since! He is always willing to grab a beer at the new brewery or go watch the big game, whatever sport it is. We are excited to have him up there with us to share our wedding day!
Katy McDonald
Bridesmaid
Katy and I were in the same rush group at Texas Tech. On bid day, we both went Delta Gamma and discovered we lived on the same floor in the dorms. The rest is pretty much history from there. Katy is one of the sweetest souls who will go to the ends of the earth for the people she cares about. She’s also one of the best bakers I know (being her roommate definitely had its perks). I had the honor of standing beside Katy when her and Trevor got married, and I can’t wait for her to do the same!
Michael Mrlik
Groomsman
Michael and I met in the 8th grade and grew up down the street from each other through high school. We became close friends. Michael is a left-handed golfer like me. We would play many rounds of golf all around Austin and would confuse any golfers that saw us on the tee! Now that he moved up to Dallas after college, we quickly caught up and found new hobbies like smoking meats and you guessed it, more golf! I’m happy for him to be here at by our sides for our day!
Abbey Peck
Bridesmaid
I met Abbey during intern training at PwC. I was one only Tech audit intern in the Fort Worth office, and she was kind enough to invite me to eat lunch with her. When we came back to work at PwC full time, we reconnected and clicked immediately. I spent so much of my Fort Worth time with her and her husband Preston - I pretty much became their permanent third wheel. Many bowls of queso and margartias at Chimy's shared together and I couldn't imagine my life without her.
Sanders Courtney
Groomsman
I met Sanders freshman year of college at TCU through John. We were friends at first but became close friends after he became roommates with John and I Junior year at TCU. Sanders and I bonded off fishing and hunting, watching the frogs, and other guy things! He is always down to go play golf, try a new area to fish, and have a good drink after it’s over. We are glad he has moved back to Texas and he is here for our day!
Katie Ruyle
Bridesmaid
Katie and I met at Tech during our time in the dorms Freshman year at Texas Tech. We lived on the same floor in the dorms then lived together in the Dawkin's House. She was the other accounting major in the Dawkin's house who understood the struggle that is the world of accounting. Katie is always there to listen through anything - from understanding my type-A tendencies to even Grey's Anatomy rants. I'm so thankful she'll be by my side for the wedding!
Joe Petrow
Groomsman
Joe and I lived on the same floor our freshman year at TCU. We quickly became close friends bonding over fishing and sports in general. Joe got me into fly fishing as I had little experience before and taught me that there is not a better feeling than tricking a fish to eat to feathers on a hook! From fishing in Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, and Utah, who knows where our next fishing adventure will take us! I'm excited to have him up there with me while standing at the altar!
Sophia Murphy
Bridesmaid
I met Sophia during my freshman year at Tech. We lived on the same floor in the dorms then went on to live together in the Dawkin's House and my grad year. Sophia is one of the most loyal friends I know and she loves her people hard! I've treasured all the life talks that end up on the bathroom floor and I’m so excited for her to be apart of our special day!
Michael McConnell
Groomsman
I met Michael my junior year of high school and we quickly became good friends. We were in the same home economics class, and Michael loved the recipe I brought from home, Grabbies! He's always down to go play a round of golf, go hangout on the lake, or watch our favorite sport - college football! Michael even tried to get me into Wake Surfing and let's just say my wipeouts could have been a comedy reel. I'm glad he is going to be by my side on our day!
Lauren Ludwick
Bridesmaid
Lauren is Triple's oldest sister. Before I met any family members I was told Lauren would be the hardest approval to get. Thanks in part to my skip-bo skills, I passed the test. She has welcomed me in and felt like a life long friend from the start. I admire how Lauren loves and takes care of her people. Her kids are the best and we love to spend time with the whole family when we can. I can't wait for her family to be apart of the party!
Landon Ludwick
Groomsman
Landon and I met after he started dating my sister Lauren. She told me that we would get along and Lauren was absolutely right! Landon fit right in with the rest of the family and some will even say that we look like brothers. Whether its a duck hunt, a fishing trip at the coast, a round of golf at the local course, or taking the boat out on Lake Austin - we all had a great time. I'm happy that he is apart of this family and is here to welcome a new addition to our family!
Malorie Lytal
Bridesmaid
Malorie is Triple's older sister. Triple told me from the beginning I was most like Malorie in personality and I couldn't agree more. We're both accountants and I can't help but admire her style. She is so easy to talk to, it's like a friend I've known for years. She has made me feel like nothing but welcomed and loved into the family. She has the most adorable family and I can't wait for all of them to be apart of our big day!
Wade Lytal
Groomsman
I met Wade when I was a young kid. He has been my sisters best friend so he practically grew up as family along side us. Even when Malorie was with her previous boyfriend, I was one of the founding members of the Wade support group, Team Wade!! We are excited to have him up there at the altar on our special day!
Ethan Mathias
Usher
I met Ethan in my Junior year at Texas Tech through our business fraternity - Alpha Kappa Psi. Later in college, we became apart of the same Taco Tuesday happy hour group and spent many evenings at Chimy's with this group. Ethan is the friend you can depend on no matter what and will always be there whenever you need him. I'm thankful for his friendship over the years and I'm excited for him to be apart of our day!
Dylan Brown
Usher
I met Dylan was when he started his first day at Triumph Aerostructures. We were on the same team, and became friends while trying to figure out how to do our day to day sat work! Dylan and I became closer as we learned that we both like breweries and watching college football. I have even become his golf coach after he has tried to get into the game... Pray for him lol. He was one of my first friends to meet Megan and he will say that he predicted this day would happen from the beginning!
Maggie
Dog of Honor
Maggie is our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who will turn 3 shortly after the wedding! Maggie is a “velcro dog” to her people and loves to play fetch. She is excited for her humans to get married and we wanted to honor her in a small way. While we wish she could be in attendance on our big day - we know she will be well taken care of and celebrating from afar.
Sam Freireich
Usher
Sam and I first met on the football field freshman year of high school. Both of us being big boys on the o-line, we quickly bonded over our shared hatred of HOT afternoon two-a-days practices. We eventually found out we both enjoyed for football, fishing, golf and others. We even had places close to each other down at the coast in Rockport, TX! I'm very happy to have Sam here as one of my ushers on my wedding day.
