Makayla & Julian
Wedding Party
Lexy Shook
Maid of Honor
Lexy is my older sister and has always been one of my biggest supporters. As we have gotten older, Lexy and I have grown so much closer and I consider her to be one of my best friends. Though we don't live in the same city, when we do get to see each other we have an amazing time. I cannot wait to have her stand beside me on my wedding day.
Chase Sisak
Best Man
Chase and I met on a fateful weekend in 2016, when he walked up to my tent and asked me if I wanted any "smoochies." I had no idea what those were, but I'm glad I said yes. We've gone from cruising around after crew and yelling at bears, to Canes games and late night porch chats, and I've been so lucky to have him as we've gotten older. When it came time to pick my best man, there was really only one choice.
Julia Hogan
Bridesmaid
Julia and I met in the sixth grade after being randomly assigned to the same project in Science Olympiad. You can find pictures and videos of us doing colorguard and causing chaos from age 13 to 25. From One Direction dance parties to impulse tattoos in Arizona, Julia and I have been inseparable from day 1.
Jeremy Hester
Groomsman
Jeremy was the first brother I had, and as we've gotten older I've come to admire so many things about him. He's always been a naturally funny person, and is genuine in everything he does. To this day one of the proudest moments of my life was when he gave me his mentor pin and made me cry in front of a room full of people. It's things like that that make me so grateful to have him in my life, and excited to see him continue to grow.
Heike Schneider
Bridesmaid
I met Heike several days before our freshman year of college started during band camp. We were introduced by a fellow colorguard member and have been friends since. After being roommates for several years and having endless wine nights, Heike has become a crucial part of my life. Fun fact, Heike was the first person I told about being interested in Julian! Both Julian and I love Heike for her endless support and witty jokes that come when you least expect them.
Joshua Hester
Groomsman
The youngest of the 3 Hester brothers, Josh and I have always done a lot together. Growing up we'd play 1v1 soccer on the porch, which has turned into playing a LOT of frisbee together in more recent years. As much as I love having someone else in the family to talk about frisbee with, what's better has been watching come in to his own and find things to be passionate about.
AK Davis
Bridesmaid
I met AK during my freshman year of college by coincidentally sharing both a friend group and a wall in our dorm building. From frat parties to roommates to drinks after work, AK is always there for whatever. Whether it's a quick visit to my parents house or leaving the state, she's always down for an adventure. And if all else fails, we'll open up Mak and Ack's Bakery and Bar and be business partners!
Mikey Shook
Groomsman
When I first met Mikey, he was just Makayla's goofy little brother. While he is very much still Makayla's goofy little brother, I've come to appreciate him for how driven he is in pursuing what he wants, without losing his silly side. Whether you need help with something, are looking for a fun time, or just want someone to chat with, Mikey is always ready to go.
