Wedding Party
Mandy
Bride
Grant
Groom
Jessica Walton
Maid of Honor
Brides's older and only biological sister. A Radiology Technologist, cat mama, rock/metal obsessed, avid concert goer, and lover of all things Baby Yoda. The person that has known Mandy literally since the day she was born, so it's only fitting she be her Maid of Honor-she only almost dropped Mandy once as a baby when she took her out of her crib without permission lol.
Corey Denman
Best Man
Grooms older brother. Father of Elliott and the 2 dogs (Walter and Minnie). Husband to Kelsey. He is a perfectionists, even if he says he isn't. The person that has known Grant the longest and knows just the right buttons to push to get his temper going, just like any older brother does. Diehard sports fan, especially when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys. This is where Grant got his love for the Cowboys. Fondest memories were being the water boy on Corey's basketball team through high school and then keeping score/announcing the players names for the baseball games. Corey is always willing to give advice and support you in any way and will also tell you how it is. Grant couldn't ask for a better older brother.
Kaylee James
Bridesmaid
One of the Bride's besties. Mother of three, Wife to Brandon, Nurse, lover of Pioneer Woman and sunflowers, and the woman with the largest heart. Met in seventh grade, from completing driving school together, being each-other's first roommates (who didn't part on bad terms) to Mandy being her Maid of Honor. It's only essential that Kaylee be part of Mandy's tribe!
Jake Niederbaumer
Groomsman
One of the groom's best friends. Grant and Jake met when they were in college at Ohio University. Big weather geek, sports fan, and food enthusiast. Jake has a big heart and also won't hide how he actually feels which is appreciated. So many great memories have been made through the last 5 years! Could not imagine not having Jake as one of his best friends and only makes since that he is a groomsman in the wedding.
Marley Kennedy
Bridesmaid
Another one of the Bride's besties. A paraprofessional, drama director, dog mama, book nerd, Feminist, obsessed with Harry Potter and Disney, lover of Chipotle, and History enthusiast. From meeting in marching band in high school, working together at a few jobs, being roommates with both Mandy and Grant, to traveling around to see the Jonas Brothers and DCI shows. She is a great listener and gives the best advice-she is an obvious choice for the tribe!
Jacob Horton
Groomsman
Another of the groom's best friends. Jacob and Grant met in college at Ohio University. Grant and Jacob became closer as Jake and Jacob lived together and we became like the three amigos. Always reaching out and making effort to keep a hold of friendships. Loves having a good time and having a few drinks. Only makes sense for him to be a groomsman!
Carrie McKee
Bridesmaid
Another bestie of the Bride! Mother of her twins and step children, a secretary, color guard director, lover of dogs, soccer mom, color guard mom, and a determined crusher of goals. From meeting when Mandy joined color guard (Carrie was her coach), babysitting Carrie's twins, attending the twins birthday parties, helping Carrie move in to a new home, to working along side her now as co-directors of the color guard. Mandy considers Carrie an amazing role model and person who has positively impacted her life-she is a requirement to have in the tribe!
Jerry Huggins
Groomsman
The grooms longest friendship. Jerry and Grant have been friends since they were in pre-school, going on 23-24 years. So many stories could be told between these 2 from all the countless sleepovers growing up. Jerry is a logical choice to be a groomsman.
Jessi Stout
Bridesmaid
Of course another bride bestie! Mother of her newborn baby girl, Violet, step-mother to Carly, Nurse, dog owner, and party host. From Jessi and Mandy meeting through a mutual friend-Kaylee, hanging out and partying together, both being in Kaylee's bridal party, to coming together to create a fundraiser to help support one of our closest friends (one of Mandy's proudest moments). Jessi is fun to be around and is essential member of the tribe!
Wyatt Smith
Groomsman
One of the grooms cousin that is in the wedding party. Father of his daughter Emery and husband to Linzy. Definitely a prankster and will get you laughing. Huge Bengals fan all the way through. Will have a great time on the dance floor. Grew up watching Wyatt and Corey play against each other in basketball. Gotta have one of his favorite cousins in the wedding party.
Kelsey Denman
Bridesmaid
The Groom's sister-in-law and a great friend to the Bride! Mother of Elliott and the doggies (Minnie & Walter), Wife to Corey, Mortgage Loan Originator, obsessed with sweets, and the kindest person around! Kelsey and Mandy met when her and Grant started dating, she was welcoming and nice, making Mandy feel comfortable when coming around Grant's family. Kelsey always pumps people up and is always will to help wherever needed. It was crucial she be apart of the tribe, as Mandy will be getting a new sister!
Wesley Smith
Groomsman
The other favorite cousin. Husband to his wife Simi. Just like his brother, Wyatt, a big prankster and huge Bengals fan. In the Air Force. Loves to lift weights and stay healthy. When you see him at the wedding, you'll notice. Loves to have a good time and will for sure be tearing it up on the dance floor. Gotta have the other favorite cousin as a groomsman.
Claralynn James
Flower Girl
Kaylee's daughter. The cutest red head around!!
Elliott Denman
Ring Bearer
Grant's nephew. Corey and Kelsey's son. Cutest and smartest 2 year old around! Also heard he is Grants' mini me!
