Wedding Party
Harper Morland
Maid of Honor
When Caitlyn pictured her future wedding, even when she didn't know who she would be marrying, she knew exactly who would be standing beside her. Harper and Caitlyn have been best friends since ninth grade when they were placed in the same 3rd period math class. Through the good times and the bad, Harper has stood by Caitlyn's side and been an unwavering source of support, love and laughter.

Harper is a 6th grade teacher at King George in Moose Jaw.
Evan Patrick
Best Man
Evan is Luke's first cousin, but if you ask Luke, "brother" is a much better term to describe their relationship. They even lived next door to each other growing up. Evan has been a role model, true friend and confidant throughout Luke's life. He has stood by Luke's side through every joy and challenge quite literally since the day he was born and are even born on the same day.
