Katelyn & Tyler
Wedding Party
Hannah Hoskins
Maid of Honor
Although Hannah is my little sister, I look up to her just as much as she looks up to me. Throughout the years, Hannah has been my on-call fashion advisor, the girl I turn to when I'm ready for a spontaneous adventure (girl's not afraid of a thing!), and one of my greatest encouragers. Her clever sense of humor will make you laugh until your abs cry, and her celebrity impressions are surprisingly on-point. She can sing like Beyoncé when she thinks you're not listening and makes AMAZING enchiladas from scratch. She's always been by my side, so naturally I'm so pumped to have her standing next to me on my wedding day. (Oh, and she's single, boys!)
Braden Morrison
Best Man
Braden is Tyler's not-so-little bro... you might even say that Tyler looks up to him. Braden is unafraid of a challenge or of forging his own path in life, as exhibited by his superhuman rock-climbing skills (DOES he actually have spidey-powers though?!). And even though Tyler had the upper hand on Braden when they were little, Braden can totally dunk on him now in pool b-ball. Braden is the kind of guy you can call on day or night to lend a hand. He is a great brother, will be an awesome brother-in-law, and will be the BEST best man.
Heather Lawler
Bridesmaid
I met Heather 20 years ago on our first day at First Baptist of The Woodlands Preschool, and we've been best friends ever since. Heather is the dancing queen, THE life of the party, and one of the kindest, most genuine people in the whole world. She's full of joy and can turn the most mundane task into the most fun you've had all week. Through every phase of my life, Heather's been there to encourage me and help me deepen my faith in Christ. She and I played house together as preschoolers, and now she'll be standing by my side as I marry the man I'll build my future home with.
Jason Ball
Groomsman
The cowboy who rode away, Jase Ball moved to the mountains of Salt Lake City to satisfy his adventure craving. Ice-climbing, skiing, and paragliding are all in a day's work for this fun-loving goofball. His adventures began, however, in the very city of Rockwall, TX, where he and his cousin Tyler would patrol the creek behind Nana and Papa's house.
Kourtney Zarker
Bridesmaid
Kourtney was one of my Delta Gamma sisters and my college roommate. One of my favorite things about living with Kourtney was hearing her yell "HELLOOOOOOO!" every time she'd come home from class. Maybe that's a bizarre favorite memory, but it was always filled with so much happiness that even if I was stressed out studying, I'd always feel better! Kourtney is so joy-FULL, and has a real love for people that plays out in the way she cares about and serves others. She's one of my best friends, and I can't wait for her to be standing by me when I say "I do!"
Zach Lawless
Groomsman
Tyler's fraternity brother and go-to formal roommate, Zach is a quick-witted data scientist who really out-kicked his coverage (shoutout to his wife, Aubry). You can probably catch the couple at Mi Cocina on any given Friday, and there's a good chance Tyler and Katie will be there with them. These couples had a blast together in college, and aren't slowing down as post-grads either. Zach's other hobbies include using his data analysis software to dominate fantasy football, being a scratch golfer, greek poetry (not the kind you're thinking of), raccoon cosplay (don't ask), fountain theory (ask), and loving the Ags almost as much as Tyler.
Carly Morrison
Bridesmaid
Carly is Tyler's sister, and my future sister-in-law. The first time I met Carly, she came in town for an A&M visit, and we got along right away! She's so bubbly, so sweet, and her famous misadventures and elite storytelling will make you laugh 'til your abs hurt (just ask her about H2Omelons or geckos). I'm thrilled to have her standing by me on my wedding day, and even more excited to have her as my new sister.
Michael Roberto
Groomsman
Before he was a 1st Lieutenant in the United States Army, Mikey was an aspiring Jedi, cutting class with Tyler in 7th grade to see the new Star Wars movie. Tyler's closest friend since 1st grade, it's safe to say Mike is a little more effective now with his AR-15 than he ever was with a plastic green lightsaber.
Andrea Carter
Bridesmaid
Andrea was my little in my sorority, my college roommate, and is one of my best friends! In fact, it was Tyler who really brought Andrea and I together - all my texts (lies) to Andrea during big/little reveal week came straight from Tyler's phone. Somehow, Andrea met all the demands I made of her that week (including borrowing handcuffs from a stranger... it was a tradition) - but one thing I've learned about Andrea in the years since is that she will always rise to the occasion! She is one of the most intelligent, most generous people in the world. She's always been there for me, and I'm so thankful to have her as a part of my bridal party!
Alec Thoveson
Groomsman
Tyler's college roommate, fraternity brother, and future doctor, Alec is always the happiest person in the room and it's darn-near contagious. He and Tyler once spent an entire summer crafting the perfect migas recipe (the secret ingredient is serrano peppers) and watching reruns because Alec thinks every joke is funnier than the last.
Amelia Jaska
Bridesmaid
If it weren't for Amelia, there would be no wedding... for real! Amelia was Tyler's friend from back home, and I met her through Delta Gamma. But aside from being the first to introduce Tyler and me to each other at that destined Delt party, Amelia has been one of my best friends. From breaking the stage at Stompfest, to dunking our rings, to being bridesmaids together in our other roommate's (Rachel's) wedding, Amelia has been a true friend throughout all of college and after. She's one of the most considerate people I know, and I can't wait for her to stand by me (and Tyler, kind of) at my wedding!
Johnny Keene
Groomsman
Tyler's college roommate and fraternity brother, Johnny believes that society is beautiful tapestry intricately woven together with strands of rules. Johnny sometimes does not follow those rules. Johnny does not care about your society. But Johnny also does care, more than he would ever let you know. Gotta love him.
Rachel Hodge
Bridesmaid
Rachel was my Delta Gamma sister and also my college roommate. In college she was one of the first people I'd come to for advice, and that's still been the case throughout wedding planning, since she was the first of all of us to get married! She's got the best movie and music recommendations, is always down for a fun adventure (road-tripping to Oklahoma, random weekend in Austin, I hear she's going to Peru this summer?!), and encourages me to love Jesus more. She's the kind of girl who will go WAY out of her way to help a friend, because she truly cares about others a ton - she's the best, and I'm so excited for her to be my bridesmaid!
Chance Siller
Groomsman
Tyler's college roommate, fraternity "big bro," and guaranteed life of the party, Chance loves hunting and hugs. He once made Tyler burst into his Chinese class (?) dressed as Professor Quirrell from Harry Potter (?!) with the exclamation "TROLL! There's a TROLL in the dungeon!" (?!?). He's the wild card you always (sometimes) want to play.
Sarah and Maggie
Junior Bridesmaids
Sarah and Maggie are Katie and Hannah's sweet cousins - exactly 10 years apart from Katie and Hannah! Girls, this is what y'all have to look forward to in 10 years. Hope y'all are excited!
