Dana Butson

Maid of Honor

Hi I'm Dana and I am Mackenzi's older cousin. I've known Mackenzi since her birth! She became my family by default but became my best friend by choice. We spent most of our summers as kids, traveling to tractor pulls with our dads and playing in her backyard on her trampoline. We've maintained our close relationship through our shared experiences and support for one another. Robert is a very lucky guy and I welcome him to the Butson family! I am beyond happy to be a part of Robert and Mackenzi's special day!

Alexander Jackson

Best Man

Sarah Slowik

Matron of Honor

My name is Sarah and I am Mackenzi's close friend and neighbor. Mackenzi and I met while working for our school paper and, after going our separate ways, we reconnected over our love of writing. We began a project together and since then we've grown so close and learned how much we have in common. When she and Robert moved in next door to us, we had no idea we would become such a close-knit family. We share a wonderful connection and I'm so excited and honored to support my two friends on their special day!

Grant Slowik

Groomsman

My name is Grant and I met Robert through my wife Sarah. We share a love for gaming and after taking a trip to our lake house with the couple, became very close over time. We play together in a D&D campaign and it's been a blast welcoming him into our friend group. I'm honored to support Robert and Mackenzi on their big day and wish the couple all the best.

Elizabeth Murray

Bridesmaid

My name is Elizabeth Murray. I’ve been friends with Mackenzi since our sophomore year of high school. We met during our lunch period in 2013. We shared a lot of the same interests and became close friends that way. When we were teenagers, we spent a lot of our time together. We have so many inside jokes and have shared a lot of our early adulthood experiences. We used to spend our time just driving around our small town for hours just listening to music and talking. Her and Robert are a great couple and truly are soulmates. I’m so blessed to be a part of both of their lives. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for them.

Groomsman

Tatianna Salisbury

Bridesmaid

Howdy! I’m Tatianna. Mackenzi and I have grown close throughout the last three years as writing colleagues, classmates and ultimately close confidants. My partner, Logan, and I have loved sharing memories with Robert and Mackenzi over the years, from double date nights to newspaper parties. While Mackenzi and I met by matter of proximity, it was our shared love of writing, Disney films and a good sprinkled donut that blossomed our friendship. I am so grateful to be a part of both Robert and Mackenzi’s glorious day and even more honored to call them two of my best friends. Here’s to their next great adventure!

Lenora Murphy

Bridesmaid

Hello! I'm Lenora, or Nora, and I am Mackenzi's friend from college. We became friends in a summer creative writing class where Mackenzi sent me a sweetly written "will you be my friend" email (which I have saved in my inbox), and we have been friends ever since! From the first day I knew Mackenzi, I also knew that Robert is her perfect match. It makes me happy to see them so deep in love and I am honored to be a part of their big day!
