Wedding Party
Ryan
Bride
Katie is writing this on behalf of Ryan so that it can be written with justice and not humbleness. Ryan is truly one of the most amazing people you could ever meet. She is incredibly selfless and always puts others before herself, no matter the situation. Ryan is also one of the hardest working people out there. Some might even say she’s a total BOSS! When Ryan is in charge, there’s never a doubt that things will get done and that they’ll be done right. Through life’s toughest moments, Ryan has always been the one holding everyone else up, offering support, strength, and unwavering love to the people around her. Being able to stand beside her on this special day is truly an honor. Watching her marry the man of her dreams is something so special, and it’s a happiness she deserves more than anyone.
Daniel
Groom
Daniel is truly one of the most incredible people you could meet and the perfect match for Ryan. He cares for her in every aspect of life and always goes out of his way to make sure she feels loved, supported, and appreciated. Daniel is hardworking, thoughtful, and one of the most kind-hearted and caring people around. He’s also a proud dog dad and someone who always thinks of everything—often before anyone else even realizes it’s needed. Daniel has a special way of knowing exactly what to say to make Ryan smile and always makes her feel like a princess. Ryan is so lucky to have found someone so sweet, supportive, and genuine to spend her life with.
Brit
Matron of Honor
As the bride’s older sister, she has been by Ryan’s side their entire lives, sharing a close bond filled with countless memories, laughter, and unwavering support. Their relationship means so much to her that she eventually made the big move down to Texas just to be closer to Ryan and their brothers. She is incredibly hardworking, driven, and one of the most dependable people you’ll ever meet. Above all, she is an amazing and devoted mom to her daughter, Brooklyn, who is her pride and joy
Carly
Bridesmaid
Carly and Ryan’s friendship began when they met working at Harry Caray’s at just 19 years old. What started as a part time job, quickly turned into an inseparable friendship. After working together for years, their bond only grew stronger. Through every stage of life. The ups, the downs, and everything in between, Carly has always been by Ryan’s side. Their friendship is built on years of memories, laughter, and unwavering support, and Ryan is so grateful to have Carly standing with her on this special day.
Brittany
Bridesmaid
Brittany may not have been in Ryan’s life for very long, but from the start it felt like they had known each other for years. Their friendship quickly grew into a close and meaningful bond. Brittany is incredibly supportive, caring, and always someone Ryan can count on. Ryan feels so lucky to have Brittany in her life—and is just as grateful for the connection she shares with her brothers as well. Ryan is so happy to have Brittany standing by her side on this special day.
Katie
Bridesmaid
Ryan met Katie through Carly, and it was truly a match made in heaven. Their friendship quickly grew through countless late-night phone calls filled with laughs, stories, and memories they’ll never forget. Katie is someone Ryan can always turn to—whether she needs advice, a good laugh, or even someone to ask random geography questions to (mostly because Ryan knows Katie probably won’t know the answer either!). Ryan is so grateful for their friendship and is so happy to have Katie by her side on such a special day.
Brooklyn
Flower Girl
Brooklyn is Ryan’s sweet and spirited niece who brings so much joy to everyone around her. She has a big personality, an even bigger heart, and a way of making every moment more fun. Brooklyn loves spending time with her Auntie Ryan, and the two share a very special bond filled with laughs, hugs, and lots of great memories. Ryan is so proud to be her aunt and feels lucky to have such a bright, loving girl in her life. Brooklyn adds so much happiness to the family and makes every day a little more special.
Groomsmen
Groomsman
Chris Henry, Mikey Branchaud, Casey Moroney and Tyler Hall: While Katie perfectly captured the stories behind each bridesmaid, we considered doing the same for the groomsmen… but quickly realized this page would turn into a novel (and possibly a liability). What we will say is this—these guys mean a lot to us. They’ve been there through every phase of life, always showing up and somehow making everything more fun along the way. So instead of trying to sum them up here, we’ll let you experience them in real time—on the dance floor, at the bar, and everywhere in between. We love them all so much and can't wait to share this special day with each of them by our sides.
