Wedding Party

Meet our best friends and family who we are honored to have stand by our side on our wedding day.

Mariana Leon

Maid of Honor

SMU Accounting majors turned Best Friends and PwC Coworkers...Mariana (Mari) and I have been inseparable since senior year of college. We completed our Master's of Accounting at SMU together and interned/worked at PwC as Tax Accountants on the same floor. Mariana is the life of the party and always down for any fun event (especially our wedding!). She's loving and so easygoing. Mari adored Tyler the minute she met him! Mariana is originally from Miami, FL and just moved to NYC at the beginning of 2020. This is the first year Mari and I have been apart since meeting and we can't wait for all our trips to visit each other. I am so lucky and honored to have Mariana as my best friend & now Maid of Honor and I can't wait to have her stand by my side!

Kylee Bankofier

Bridesmaid

Kylee and I are Notre Dame Preparatory (high school) best friends. AP classes and high school tennis and soccer brought us together and the rest is history! Long distance didn't hinder our friendship at all - Kylee's trips to Dallas to visit me at SMU and my trips home to AZ for the holidays were the best memories. Kylee graduates from Physician Assistant School at Toro in Henderson, NV in November 2020 and will be working in Phoenix, AZ. I am honored to stand in Kylee's wedding to her own high school sweetheart, Brooks Brennan, in May 2021. Kylee is the sweetest and most supportive friend and Megan can't wait to have her in her wedding party.

Kate Barnes

Bridesmaid

I am so thankful for my study abroad trip to Orvieto, Italy because it led me to Kate! Kate and I instantly hit it off and had the time of our lives traveling Italy together. Tyler was also studying abroad in Italy at the time so Kate was able to meet him right away - and she loved him! Kate and I also signed up for "SMU-in-Taos" an outdoor adventure summer study program and laughed our way through hikes in the rain, horseback riding, and rock climbing. We love tackling all of life's adventures together and I can't wait for what's to come! Kate now lives in Nashville, TN with her sweet Bernese Mountain Dog Wilder and works for a non-profit based in Colorado Springs. I can't wait to celebrate my wedding day with Kate by my side!

Kristen Briggs

Bridesmaid

Kristen and I immediately hit it off during our Master's of Accounting at SMU. Kristen's easygoing, loyal, and positive personality drew me to Kristen and we've created a lifelong friendship since. Tyler and Kristen are the sweetest of friends as well - look out for them getting low on the dance floor! Kristen now works for CIP Real Estate and lives in Newport Beach, CA. She's finally driving distance to Tyler and I in AZ and we couldn't be more thrilled! We can't wait to celebrate our special day with Kristen by our side!

Vanessa Eller

Bridesmaid

Vanessa and I met Sophomore year of high school at Notre Dame Prep (the year Vanessa moved to AZ from FL)! While she was deemed "the new girl" by Tyler and his friends, Tyler and I both loved Vanessa and her hilarious and loving spirit from the start. A night with Vanessa ensures you will laugh until you cry. Vanessa would do anything for Tyler and I and vice versa. She married her best friend Max in December 2019 and I was honored to be her bridesmaid! Vanessa and Max currently live in Tucson, AZ while Vanessa completes medical school at the University of Arizona (soon-to-be Dr. Eller!). I can't wait to have Vanessa in my bridal party and for all the memories we'll make in our lifelong friendship!

Allyson Friedman

Bridesmaid

Allyson (Ally) and I have been best friends since we were teenagers! We grew up going to DC Ranch tennis lessons together and finally ended up at NDP High School together when Ally transferred junior year. Ally is always down for a fun time and any adventure - Ally and I especially love trips out to Newport Beach - we always end up laughing til we're crying! Dance parties, workout dates and checking out the latest happy hour spots are our favorite things to do together. Ally attended TCU while I attended SMU and we loved visiting each other throughout college, especially during Iron Skillet Football Games. Ally is now a nurse in Scottsdale, AZ and lives just 10 minutes away from Tyler and I - we couldn't be happier!

Rachel Madigan

Bridesmaid

Rachel (Rach) and I didn't meet until the Master's of Accounting program at SMU, but that didn't slow down our instant friendship. Our common interests in the latest and greatest Dallas restaurant, spin classes, pilates classes and Highland Park window shopping glued us at the hip and formed the sweetest lifelong friendship. Rachel is originally from Little Rock, AR and currently lives in Dallas and works at KMPG as a Senior Audit Associate. She just got engaged to the incredible Charlie Velie, who Tyler and I also adore! Her love and support for Tyler and I since Day 1 always brings happy tears to all. I am so excited to have Rachel stand by my side on my wedding day!

Jade Martinez

Bridesmaid

Jade and I first became friends during the high school tennis season - even though Jade was truly an All-Star volleyball player. They reconnected when Jade was transferred to Dallas, TX for her job at Amazon and we've been attached at the hip since! Jade is always so lively, positive, and down to do anything, whether it's dinner, concerts, movies, happy hour, pilates, spin, long walks on Katy Trail, or shopping! Jade and I love to do it all together. Jade currently lives in Nashville, TN and I am trying to convince her to move back to AZ. Jade has a heart of gold and I am so excited to have her stand by my side on my wedding day!

Ryan Viscusi

Bridesmaid

Ryan and I met during my first semester at SMU over a few rush dates. We immediately hit it off and Ryan recruited me to rush Tri Delta - leading to us becoming Big and Little! We are a dynamic duo and love going on walks through Highland Park with a latte in hand, enjoying a margarita at Honor Bar, or meeting up for a hot yoga sculpt class at Core Power. Ryan is the closest thing I have to a big sister and I am so thankful for our forever friendship. Ryan married Matt Viscusi in December 2019, where I was honored to be a bridesmaid. Ryan, Matt, Tyler and I always have the best time on our double dates and we can't wait for all the future trips to come! 'Ry' and I are always there for each other 100% and I am so honored to have Ryan stand by my side!
