Wedding Party
Angela York-Ragland
Matron of Honor
Meet Angela, Alex’s older sister and lifelong "get it together" coach. As an RN, wife to Erik, and mom to three girls—Illiana, Kaia, and Isla—she’s always been the one to keep Alex in line. Angela has always been more than just a sister; she’s been a role model, a protector, and the person Alex has looked up to for as long as she can remember. No matter the stage of life, Angela has been there—offering advice, encouragement, and plenty of sisterly sarcasm.
Shawn Naegele
Best Man
Meet Shawn, Ryan’s older brother and his best man for the big day. An Air Force veteran, Shawn now calls Texas home with his wife, Renee, and their two kids, Bradley and Catherine. Over the years, Shawn has always been there to offer support, wisdom, and the occasional brotherly tough love. From childhood memories to major life milestones, he’s been a steady presence in Ryan’s life, making him the perfect choice to stand by his side on this special day.
Bruna Sprawls
Bridesmaid
Bruna and Alex met in Manhattan, Kansas, and have been partners in crime ever since—especially at concerts! Bruna's sense of adventure and ability to make everything more fun led to her quickly becoming one of Alex's closest friends. Now currently living in Louisiana with her husband Zack and daughter Olivia, she keeps the fun going wherever she goes!
Kale Hall
Groomsman
Kale is Ryan’s childhood best friend and longtime partner in adventure—especially when it comes to antiquing. With an impressive knowledge of random antiques, he made their treasure-hunting trips both entertaining and educational. Their friendship has stood the test of time, built on shared laughs, great finds, and plenty of nostalgia.
Onna Rinzler
Bridesmaid
Onna is Alex’s best friend, soul sister, and former "work wife." They met in Manhattan, Kansas, and from that moment on, there was never one without the other. Whether laughing until they cry, being their weirdest selves, or working side by side at multiple jobs, they’ve done it all together. Fun fact: Alex was Onna's date to her brothers wedding where Alex and Ryan first met.
Michael Payne
Groomsman
Michael and Ryan met in college at Emporia State University, where they became fraternity brothers and lifelong friends.

Whether in person or online, their friendship is always strong and always in play!
Katie Jollif
Bridesmaid

Her and her husband live in the Denver area with their new baby girl, Tatum.
Tyler Jollif
Groomsman
Tyler, better known as Jolly, met Ryan through mutual friends at Emporia State, but their real friendship took off after college.
