Maddi & Kirk
Wedding Party
Jennifer Lynch
Matron of Honor
Maddi & Jenni met at an FSU tailgate once upon a time. Jenni and her husband Jimmy lived in Jacksonville, FL where Kirk and Maddi ended up after graduation. They spent almost every weekend hanging out, double dating and competing in board/card games.... :) Now Jenni and Jimmy live in Dunedin, FL and dream about the day they're all neighbors again, hosting dinner parties and drinking wine on the front porch.
Jaret Helinger
Best Man
Jaret (aka Beans) and Kirk have known each other for over 10 years now. The friendship slowly developed as they trekked through the halls of Osceola High school. It was on Monday, January 6th, 2014, in Tallahassee, FL when this brotherhood had been solidified. Even though FSU football fell down the mountain the next few years their friendship got even stronger. Throughout college they shared the love for NHL video games, golf rounds, IM championships and lots of Natural Light. Kirk could not have a better man standing next to him when he says ‘I do’.
Katie Levonick
Maid of Honor
Throwing it back to freshman year Jennie-Murphree hall. Katie and Maddi are college besties who made it through the best and worst of Tally, from 3-peating Potbellys to tailgates & corndogs. Katie's the one who may keep Maddi from a total Bridezilla moment, and will always make sure she has a vodka-red bull in hand.
Steven Walker
Groomsman
Although their favorite sports teams do not align, one thing they have in common is their love for Maddi Walker! Kirk always wanted a brother who he could debate politics and sports with and there is not a better fit than Steven Walker.
Caroline Adikes
Bridesmaid
Aside from the fact that Caroline is a Gator, Maddi is so excited to finally have a sister! The family rivalry runs deep within the Walker-Adikes gang. Maddi & Kirk may be out-numbered but don't forget that this is an FSU wedding.
Michael Ryan
Groomsman
Michael was a must have on this wedding party list. His love for country music and cold beer is really what makes him and Kirk a perfect fit. Michael is more than a cousin, he’s always been a best friend to Maddi and he’s quickly become a great friend of Kirk’s too.
Elizabeth Adikes
Bridesmaid
Double the excitement for another sister! Liz is a total trend setter and keeps us young. We’ll have to show her how to really party because the NOLES outnumber the nerds in this bridal party!
Yates Bland
Groomsman
Believe it or not, Kirk used to beat up on Yates growing up-- wrestling now would probably not go over well. Kirk and Yates shared endless hours on the lake, shredding the slopes and just hanging out on family vacations while the girls played with dolls and did who knows what. Family means everything and that’s exactly why Yates will be by Kirks side.
McCuen Bland
Bridesmaid
"Q" completes the "trifecta" she's more of a third sister than a cousin and Maddi wouldn't have it any other way.
Christian Kaelber
Groomsman
When you sleep 5 feet away from someone for a whole year it’s almost impossible not to become close friends. Kirk and Christian shared a dorm room their freshman year of college. Most days freshman year were filled with FIFA video games, loud chief keef songs, disgusting cafeteria food and Netflix binging. Is it embarrassing that Kirk and Christian cried in their dorm room as they sipped pineapple rum during the last episode of Prison break? That’s called friendship.
Mckenzie Simmler
Bridesmaid
Best friends since the 6th grade, Maddi and Kenzie grew up together and are more like sisters than friends. They'd dreamed about their weddings and who they'd marry for years- secretly planning the big day before the proposals. They had to keep the hardest secret from each other for months, Kenzie got engaged just weeks before Maddi. Going through engagement together has been one of the best seasons of life yet.
Garrett Welch
Groomsman
It all started Junior Year of high school when the teacher of our class said the person behind you can grade your quiz. Garrett turned around and locked eyes with Kirk and the rest was history. They both somehow aced the AP Human Geography quiz. Garrett is one of the reasons Kirk has the best friends he has today. Kirk and Garrett share 2 gold medals from the beer Olympics where they once dominated the beer pong table. This friendship goes deeper than just having fun because Garrett has the biggest heart out of everyone. Always there when you need him.
Sarah Dorn
Bridesmaid
Big/ Little dynamic duo! Circa 2015, Sarah was supposed to be Maddi’s random bid day buddy BUT she swapped her with her big, Skylar.. *little* did she know, Maddi was a perfect fit for the Wolfpack family and the rest is history!
Tyler Cosser
Groomsman
Kirk and Tyler first met in High School, a friendship founded on their shared love for Gucci Mane. Roommates for three years at Florida State, the two made it through Finance classes together. Their pre-exam rituals and late nights contemplating the meaning of life on the balcony brought this friendship to a brotherhood. Tyler has always been a great friend to Kirk, and was even Maddi’s roommate one summer—we couldn’t tie the knot without him by our side.
Taylor Stutzman
Bridesmaid
This friendship was kindled over College Algebra tutoring. As poor freshman Maddi struggled to pass the class, math major Taylor saved the day. Taylor and Maddi lived together sophomore year of college and have been best friends ever since.
Jamieson Craske
Groomsman
Kirk and Jamie grew up across the street from each other and were always rocking out—did you know Kirk was in a band? When they weren’t on the tour bus, the two were playing video games, wallball, man hunt or eating Taco Bell. Jamie a true best friend of Kirks and has been for 20 years. This wedding party would not be complete without him.
Kathryn Ryan
Junior Bridesmaid
Kathryn is Maddi's youngest cousin. The two have always had a special bond and she is so excited to have her by her side.
