From growing up together to surviving college side by side, these two have shared more memories than we can count. They’re not brothers by blood, but brothers by choice—and that bond runs deep. Bryce is funny, a great swimmer, and the undisputed champion of fishing golf balls out of the pond, making him and Josh the ultimate duo. He’s the guy who knows every embarrassing story, every inside joke, and will probably share a few during his toast. On the big day, he’s Josh’s ultimate wingman, making sure everything goes smoothly and the celebration is unforgettable.

Kendra Wallace

Matron of Honor

Kendra isn’t just Madison’s sister — she’s her lifelong friend and one of her biggest cheerleader.

From heartfelt advice to hilarious memories, Emma has been there through it all, and now she’s ready to stand by Madison’s side for the biggest day yet. She loves reading, movies, anime, pop culture, and spending time with family and friends.

From there, their friendship grew quickly—especially after realizing they had crossed paths for years through pageants, film classes, and even Emma dating Madison’s cousin back in middle school! The two eventually lived together and loved every moment of it. They’ve been through ups and downs, seen the best and worst of times, and always come out stronger. When these two get together, it’s like “double, double, toil and trouble!” They share passions for photography, art, and movies, and while they’re similar in many ways, their differences complement each other perfectly. Over the years, Emma has also become one of Josh’s great friends. On the big day, you’ll find Emma cheering for both Madison and Josh, bringing the fun, and making sure every moment is unforgettable!

Keith Schmaltz

From that day on, they’ve built a friendship rooted in loyalty and good times. Keith is one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet and played a huge role in making Josh’s proposal to Madison unforgettable—helping set up a cozy picnic blanket, picking up roses and champagne, and making sure no one walked through the scene.

He’s the guy who brings humor, loyalty, and just the right amount of sibling sarcasm to the mix. On the big day, Jackson will proudly stand by Josh’s side, welcoming him into the family and making sure his sister’s dream day goes smoothly.

Mercedes Baggio

Bridesmaid

Mercedes came into Madison’s life in the most unexpected way — through one of Josh’s friends — but their connection was instant. When Madison moved from the west side to the east side, everything felt new and overwhelming: a new town, a new home, a new job, and distance from the family and friends she had always known. In a season where finding her footing took time, Mercedes was one of the very first true friends who made the transition feel lighter. Over the years, they’ve shared so many incredible memories, countless laughs, and the kind of friendship that feels effortless and genuine. Madison is grateful for Mercedes’ kindness, her unwavering support, and yes — her incredible sense of fashion. She’s not just a bridesmaid, but a treasured friend Madison is so thankful to have by her side.

Matt Kovarik

Groomsman

Josh and Matt have been friends since middle school, and Matt was Josh’s former college roommate. Matt is the only guy who can fix a toaster while explaining the meaning of life. He is a chronic tinkerer who literally cannot sit still if something needs building. Josh is honored to have him at the altar because Matt has spent years giving him great life direction, mostly by helping Josh avoid all the questionable decisions he almost made. If you see Matt at the bar, prepare for a deep conversation that might accidentally result in him redesigning the venue’s electrical system.

Kelsey Liley

Bridesmaid

Kelsey’s connection to this love story started long before Madison ever entered the picture—she’s been one of Josh’s friends since high school, witnessing his entire evolution — the good, the bad, and everything in between. When Madison came along, Kelsey was one of the first friends she met, and over the years, their friendship has only grown stronger and has blossomed into a friendship Madison truly treasures. A true outdoors girl through and through. She loves bird watching, hiking, thrifting, and anything that involves fresh air and a comfortable pair of shoes. Her heart belongs to her dog, Harlow. With two degrees in Early Childhood Education and experience as both a teacher and a nanny, she’s basically a child whisperer whose dream is to open her own daycare or school someday. And if you ever need the truth — the actual truth — Kelsey is the one to ask. Family and friends are the center of Kelsey’s universe. She brings humor, honesty, and the kind of clear perspective every bridal party needs.

Nick Noel

Groomsman

Nick and Josh have been close since high school, and while Nick still believes he is the superior ping pong player, he has been a day one friend Josh can always count on. Nick is famous for never meeting a GPS route he could not improve with a shortcut, and on the big day you can be sure to look to Nick as the project manager of the groomsmen and a potential consultant at the bar rail. Josh having Nick by his side for this event was never a question.

Grace Burkard

Bridesmaid

Grace is one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet and a cherished member of Madison’s bridal party. She’s been part of Josh’s friend group for years and was one of the first people Madison met through that circle. Over time, their shared love for theatre, singing, and playing guitar turned a casual introduction into a close and meaningful friendship. Their friendship has only grown stronger through the years. Grace is creative, kind, and full of life. She loves nature, going for walks, thrifting, music, singing, and spending time with family and friends. Her world revolves around her two adorable sons, Louis and Winston, who bring endless joy to her days. Grace radiates warmth and positivity everywhere she goes. Grace’s kindness, creativity, and genuine heart make her an irreplaceable part of this celebration. On the big day, you’ll find her cheering on Madison and Josh with the same love and support she’s shown from the very beginning.

Teddy Morrissey

Groomsman

Josh and Teddy met in college, where they became experts at turning a boring Saturday into a legendary plan: three mimosas and a breakfast shot. When he is not coaching little league hockey or tossing back a beer, Teddy is cosplaying as a matchmaker. Having Teddy on one of their first dates was the secret ingredient to landing Madison, and Josh is honored to have that same wingman by his side as he officially says I do.

Derek Medvedik

Flower Guy/Groomsmen

Derek and Josh have been friends since high school, even though their friendship is tested weekly on the golf course. It is always a shootout when they play, and while the scorecards are debatable, Derek’s status as a day one is not. Expect to see him leading the charge on the dance floor and successfully avoiding the exit sign until the very last second. Josh is proud to have a longtime buddy up there who brings the party and the competitive spirit in equal measure.

Taylor Phillps

Bridesmaid

Madison met Taylor through their friend group when Taylor started dating Kyle around the same time she started dating Josh. Her calm, welcoming energy has made her one of the first people Madison connected with, and since then, river trips, a Florida St. Patrick’s Day getaway, and countless hangouts have turned her into a friend Madison genuinely values. Taylor is known for loving dinosaurs, traveling, reading, and being a professional dog petter with two loyal “clients” at home. She’s the calm, collected bridesmaid who listens likes it's her super power, keeps everyone grounded, and somehow stays unbothered. On the big day, she’ll be the steady voice of reason Madison is grateful to have by her side.

Andrew Burkard
