Wedding Party
Rylie Parker
Maid of Honor
Since I was a little girl, I've always dreamed about my future wedding. And there was never a scenario where Rylie wasn't standing beside me as my Maid of Honor. Rylie is my day one, a fellow Disney fanatic, and one of my best friends. She always keeps people on their toes and finds a way to brighten every room she walks into. Rylie is uniquely herself and very passionate about what she does. I never question the love she has for me and I'm grateful to have her as a sister. What Rylie brings to the head table: a bubbly personality, a lot of nursing jargon, and a whole lot of love for all things Disney.
Samuel Dailey
Best Man
One thing I can say for certain about Sam: he is genuinely one of the best dudes that I know. He has a heart of gold and a passion for helping others. We met in high school due to our mothers being best friends back in their day, and our friendship has carried on their legacy of having a good time all of the time. Sam has always supported me through the good times and bad times while offering advice that I trust. Nowadays, we often spend our time together playing card games such as Euchre, 7's, or Five Crowns. You guessed it, I usually beat him in those games. What Sam brings to the table: big muscles, a contagious laugh, a questionable playlist, and a never ending positive outlook on life.
Teryn Kline
Bridesmaid
Teryn and I met in elementary school and little did I know the new girl with beautiful red hair would turn out to be my forever friend. She is someone I can count on to be there for me through life's ups and downs. Even though Teryn undeniably had the best fashion in our friend group, she always made me feel like I shined in my never ending collection of sweat pants. She is always open to new adventures and I admire how much of the world she has been able to explore. I never have to question the love and loyalty Teryn pours into our friendship. What Teryn brings to the head table: the best smile, good vibes, and a mutual love for Taylor Swift.
Drew Schermerhorn
Groomsman
Drew and I's friendship began in elementary school and continues to this day. Most of the time we spent together came from being basketball teammates all the way through high school. Aside from terrorizing opposing teams with our 3 point shooting, we spent many nights together playing Call of Duty and wreaking havoc on our opponents there as well. I am thankful for the lifelong friendship that Drew and I share. He is a great friend and always stands firm in what he believes. I was honored to be a groomsman in his wedding, and I am honored to have him stand by me for mine. What Drew brings to the table: a luscious flow of hair, unlimited fishing knowledge, an automatic jump shot, and an energetic personality.
Morgan McMillen
Bridesmaid
Morgan and I have a friendship that's aged like fine wine. The first time I met her during her official visit to BG, I wasn't quite sure what to think. But she slowly became one of my closet and strongest friends. What people close to her know well is that she fiercely protects her people and doesn't hesitate to face challenge head on. Morgan loves to be the first to celebrate other's successes and makes any celebration feel like the most important in the world. She has a vibrant, outgoing personality and is always down for anything. Some of my wildest memories were experienced with Morgan by my side. Her heart is unbelievably big and I am blessed to have her as a friend. What Morgan brings to the head table: the best jump shot, wild energy, and a contagious laugh.
Stratton Smith
Groomsman
Stratton and I met in college and I quickly realized that he possessed a sharp sense of humor and a surplus of wit. Which makes it easy to see how he thrives as a stand-up comedian. Beyond the jokes, Stratton is a loyal, honest, and caring friend. Despite us not seeing each other often, I know that he is always rooting for my success. Although we are hoping that he does not find a mic, I am honored to have him stand next to me on one of the biggest days of my life. What Stratton brings to the table: pop culture knowledge, great jokes, The Office quotes, and the best dance moves in the wedding party.
Lexi Fleming
Bridesmaid
One thing I can say for certain about Lexi is that she never does anything halfway. She gives 100% in every aspect of her life. The opportunity to spend two years at BG with Lexi was a gift. Our friendship developed into something I'm so grateful for. She is by far the best shooting partner I've ever had (which is saying something because I've had some amazing teammates). What I most admire about Lexi is her love for life which is contagious. What Lexi brings to the head table: top notch energy, the biggest sweet tooth, and a love for competition (including a weird obsession with Joey Chestnut).
Ryan Parker
Groomsman
Ryan will officially become the brother that I never had. Something that I admire about Ryan is how loyal he is to those he cares about. An example of his loyalty is the shared suffering of being a Colts fan. Ryan is someone who is mature well beyond his years, hard-working, and never makes excuses for himself. He is truly the best brother-in-law that I could have asked for. I am thrilled that he will be standing with me when I marry Madisen. What Ryan brings to the table: an unbelievably high IQ, a deep fandom for F1 Racing, the best golf game at the wedding, dad jokes, and kindness to everyone around him.
