Wedding Party
Kalie Bohnenberger
Maid of Honor
"Olivia and I met sophomore year of high school. I still remember the first day of school when she walked into theatre class, I instantly knew that she was going to be one of my best friends for life! From goofing off back stage and performing together, to growing into established young adults and starting our careers, I couldn’t ask for a better friend to have in my life. I’ve also had the honor of watching Olivia and Andy’s relationship grow from the beginning, and it’s been nothing but beautiful, they are my favorite people to spend time with and I value their friendship deeply!"
Forrest Whitford
Best Man
"Andy was unlucky enough to share a wall with me for our freshman year of college. Andy then had the distinct misfortune of being roommates with me for our junior year of college. Surely against his better judgement, we became close friends throughout this time. Despite his horrendous choice in a best man, I am most ardently supportive and pleased with his choice of bride, and look forward to supporting the happiest of couples on their wedding day."

"Olivia and I met in our college freshman English class where we shared laughs over some exasperating classmates. The next year I was lucky enough to be matched with Olivia as a roommate, and I’m so grateful for all the memories made in our itty bitty dorm. Our Barbie movie nights and 10 hour thrifting days have been my favorite traditions we’ve made! When I met Andy, I knew that they were perfect for each other. I’m so glad to say that Olivia has someone who lives up to (and exceeds) the standards set by our Barbie movie love interests. I can’t wait to celebrate the most fairytale bride I know!"
Walker McDowall

"When I was born Andy was there; we shared a room practically my whole childhood. I met Olivia in Spanish class and then one day she was just in my house. For a while I kinda shared my room with both of them. Then they went off to college and it was weird having no one there. It's an interesting feeling seeing the people you've known your whole life grow up."
Heather Nixon
Bridesmaid
"Olivia and I met freshman year of college in the back of a rental minivan on our way to a horse show and held hands for dear life as the driver swerved through dark country roads. We've since been bonded through our shared experiences on the UNT equestrian team, and continued to be by each other's side as we go through college and life. Even though I'm Olivia's bridesmaid, I'm also so grateful for Andy's inevitable friendship through my proximity to Olivia and I can't imagine a version of life where they aren't together and I'm not their favorite third wheel!"
Addyson McDowall
Groomsman
"I’ve known Andy for years, I would even go as far as to say my whole life. Growing up, Andy and I went through the trenches together and I couldn’t have asked for a better brother for it. To be honest, I can’t quite remember the day I met Olivia. However I can say that she’s brought a tremendous amount of joy to my life since then. Not only has she brought me close to both Andy and Walker, but we’ve even been able to create our own memories together. Most recently Olivia and I were able to see Hozier and I’ll forever cherish that memory for years to come. Over the past 7 years I’ve been able to watch Andy and Olivia grow into incredible individuals and see the amount of love and dedication they have for each other. I can’t wait to see what the future holds!"
Laura Pedroza
Bridesmaid
"Olivia and I met each other sophomore year of college in our Intro to Counseling class. I remember our first day of class we happened to sit next to each other, and we did an activity that got us to know each other better. Liv and I continued to have classes together throughout our undergrad program. We started out as classroom buddies and our friendship progressed to us spending more time together outside of class; whether it was hanging out in between classes, coming to my place, booking a study room just for us to end up chatting the whole time instead of doing class work, or going over to her place. I’m so grateful to have met Olivia. She has been part of my support system for almost three years. I have enjoyed growing together and being there for each others good and bad. I met Andy through Liv, and I’m glad I have gotten to know him through the years. Andy is an intelligent, kind, and hot sauce obsessed guy. I am so glad to be able to be apart of their big day."

"I met Andy during our college years, probably at a hackathon, but our friendship truly began when he joined as an intern at a company I helped run. From day one, his brilliance and work ethic impressed everyone around him. What started as professional conversations soon evolved into deep discussions about life, values, and aspirations. Though the company eventually dissolved, our friendship only strengthened. Andy has helped me become a better man in countless ways, and I can only hope I've had a similar impact on him. While my interactions with Olivia have been fewer, each one has been delightful. My favorite memory with them was at a Rangers game, where I learned the great American pastime of baseball, but that's a story best saved for another time. I'm honored to stand beside Andy on this important day as he marries his perfect match."
Haley Manning
Bridesmaid
"I had the pleasure of meeting Olivia my first year at UNT through the UNT Equestrain team. What started out as shared lesson times quickly became the best car pool buddy sessions ever! From bonding in hotel rooms for competitions to finding time in our crazy class schedules to hang out, our friendship grew. Through Olivia, I met Andy and instantly knew these two were end game! I couldn’t imagine my life without having these two amazing people in it!"
Corbin Partin
Groomsman
"I met Olivia and Andy through my girlfriend Kalie. I first met Olivia at one of their high school theatre events, and I knew she was an amazing woman and a great friend to Kalie, therefore a great friend to me. I don’t remember the exact day I met Andy, but what I do remember is his intelligence and how captivating it was. He’s always been someone that I can confide in, have intellectual conversations with , and get wise advice from. He is great man with a great woman and I value their friendship greatly."
