Maid of Honor
Hi! I am Madi’s little sister Ryann. The obvious bonus of having a sister is that she will always be my best friend and biggest supporter. An extra bonus is that now I also have a super cool brother-to-be and we have become somehow, each other's coolest friend and biggest bully. I take my role as baby sister very seriously, and that was no different with Isaac. The first time I met him was actually at my graduation ceremony, and the following weekend he came and sat through the entirety of my graduation party and truth be told… I don’t think we spoke to each other on either of those occasions. He was just some strange bald guy. I actually don’t remember the first conversation that I had with him, but I can promise you I didn’t hold back. Isaac is the first man I’ve ever met that might have more attitude than I do, but since that very first conversation I knew he would be part of the family. I am honored to be Maid of Honor, and to be Madi and Isaac’s eternal third wheel!
Co-Best Man
Hi, I’m Brent, co-best man. Team Isaac and Madi is one of my favorite love stories of all time. Over the years, my bond with Isaac has grown from best friends to brothers - family. When he met Madi at my bachelor party, I snuck away to call my wife and tell her the news. They exchanged numbers and went on a motorcycle ride a few days later and you best believe I was calling Isaac wanting all the details. Madi came to our wedding as his date a few short weeks later and I knew there was something special going on, but it wasn’t until they came to our house for July 4th that I witnessed what was growing. I had never seen Isaac so happy or as sure as he was with Madi. The way their energy matched each other; her warmth, and his heart was perfect. In fact, I remember telling him I wanted to be the best man at their wedding (mind you this is a little over a month of them dating). Their relationship is built on laughter, respect, and a deep friendship, and it's been a privilege to watch their love grow into something so strong and genuine. And... we had some fun telling our friends that Isaac requested a dance from her at my bachelor party - giving zero context - just to see the reaction on their face (priceless!)

Hi, I’m Alexa! I met Madi through Isaac when they first started dating. I want to say maybe a week after their first date my husband and I went to dinner with them, and we bonded over dancing and probably our crazy men. Fast forward a couple of years and many fun memories together and I have the privilege of calling Madi one of my best friends and I am so honored to get to stand up beside her at her wedding. Madi and Isaac are both wonderful, giving and thoughtful people and it is a true blessing to be counted as their friend and get to support them however I can in their relationship and their upcoming marriage.
Co-Best Man
Isaac and I go way back. Back before he was bald, before we somehow convinced incredible women to date us, even before life started using words like mortgage and responsibilities and expecting us to take them seriously. We’ve been through a lot together. From rekindling a friendship during college, moving out of our parents at the same time, living and working together, and standing beside each other as we married the women we love. Through every season, Isaac has been steady, loyal and is the kind of friend who shows up, stays late, and reminds us to not take things too seriously. I’m especially thankful for the relationship Isaac has with Madi. She didn’t just join his life; she added to it. Since meeting her, Isaac has had a spark about him that wasn’t there before. Madi, thank you for loving my friend so well and for being such a great friend for my wife also. Some of my favorite memories with Isaac come from laughter, on backpacking trips when everything hurt but we laughed anyway, on camping trips filled with bad decisions and great stories, and during the countless moments of “big chilling” that Isaac somehow turns into an art form. No matter where we are or what we’re doing, Isaac is consistent, funny and helpful. Isaac, I’m grateful I get to call you my friend, my brother, and of course Baldy. Here’s to a friendship that will last longer than our eyesight and stand the test of time.

HI, I'm Paige, Madi's dearest cousin-in-law. Because we are family, Madi and I connected as soon as Isaac brought her around. We've shared countless laughs, holidays, a close friend group, and Bible Study together. I can't wait for all the stories and memories yet to come!

Hi, I'm Jaden! Issac and I met through his brother Levi. We connected over our love for strategy games, like Total War and Foundations. Issac is like a big brother to me and was one of my groomsmen when I got married in 2023 to my amazing wife, Kendy!

When I think about Madi and our friendship, it's hard to pick just one moment - because she's been woven into my life for over 20 years. I met Madi when I started teaching her and her sister how to dance and somehow, I got lucky enough to be adopted by the whole family. From the beginning, Madi became my unofficial little sister... even though, let's be honest, she's always been an old soul. Over the years, she's been my coworker, my dance bestie, my sounding board, and truly one of my soul friends. We still love to dance, and we share the same (slightly sarcastic) deeply silly sense of humor but what I love and admire most about her is her depth and complexity. Madi is authentically herself in the most beautiful, vulnerable way. She shows up with honesty, faith, kindness and intention. It has been one of the greatest privileges of my life to watch her grow - not just as a professional, but as a woman of God, and now, a wife.

Isaac and I are the closest in age of all of the Connell brothers, with only 17 months separating us. We were together all the time growing up, sharing lots of the same friends and interests. I’m excited for us to be in another similar phase of life again with Isaac and Madi starting their own family as well.
Bridesmaid
Hi, I'm Allee - a wife and mom to a 1.5-year-old with another on the way! I met Madi early on in her and Isaac's relationship and quickly recognized her genuine and caring heart. I am incredibly thankful for their friendship, and the Harrison family is beyond excited to continue to share life alongside Madi & Isaac.

I’m Levi Zachry Connell, number 3 in the Connell bros! Isaac and I basically look like twins even though we are 5 years apart! Isaac and I grew up together, but I also got to live with him in my first years of college! We became not only brothers but great friends as well! I’m super excited to see him get married to such a fun woman who is so willing to accept his nerdiness! But also join in with him!
Bridesmaid
I’m Kelsey! I'm an early fan of Team Madi & Isaac. They first met at my husband’s bachelor party (iconic, I know), and even though I wasn’t there, my husband made sure to sneak away, call me and give me all the details. I met Madi soon after when she came to our wedding as Isaac’s date. The second I saw them together, it was obvious - these two were very into each other, and something big was brewing!
Groomsman
My name is Nathanael Colum Connell otherwise known as Cole. I am the youngest brother of the groom. There was a time when I was younger, must have been around 8 years old or something, and I got thirsty after grueling work of playing video games all day. I went downstairs and got myself a glass of milk and as I was walking back to my room, I walked by Isaacs room. He was also playing games I think or doing something else, but we locked eyes for a split second. There were no words exchanged or even a look on Isaacs face but I knew what he wanted. I sighed and put my head down as I went back downstairs to get him a glass of milk too. He used his older brother telepathy on me to make me get that glass of milk for him. I have to be careful not to look into his eyes anymore or he might force me to do other work for him.
