Finally!
Wedding Party
Paul MacFarland
Groom
Paul is absolutely goofy and crazy and perfect in every way. He's also very, very handsome. Hard to guess who is writing this? :) One could say that Paul and Trisha truly experienced love at first sight. Within weeks they were together literally every single day. While their romance was a bit unconventional, it was perfect for them. First came love, then came a baby, a house, and now finally marriage. And we wouldn't want it any other way.
Trisha Styer
Bride
Let's be honest, y'all already know I'm the one setting this up! Thank you all for bearing with us in the wedding date change (stupid COVID). We cannot wait to see you. How special that I get to marry the man of my dreams and have all the people we love there to celebrate with us?
Alana Tumbush
Matron of Honor
Alana is a new mom to baby Walker and wife to John Tumbush. She and Trisha have been besties since Trisha moved to Ohio her first year of middle school. You can spot Alana if you hear Trisha cackling loudly across the room. Typically that's a sign that the two are together.
Kyle Evans
Best Man
Kyle lives up in Dallas, Texas, with his beautiful girlfriend Jennifer (JJ). Kyle and Paul go way back and have been good buds since Paul moved to Texas back in 2010. The life of any party, Kyle can usually be found participating in drinking challenges and cheered on by his lady and friends. When he's not living it up, he enjoys restoring/rehabbing cars or traveling anywhere possible.
Gina Hughes
Bridesmaid
Gina is a fantastic mom to three amazing boys. Lets be real, she needs this vacation more than any of us. She has magically perfected the work/mom life balance and is absolutely amazing at what she does. Gina's been by Trisha's side since middle school as well and even supported Trisha on her awkward journey as a flag girl in color guard. Their biggest accomplishment was figuring out "flintstone" together.
Mike MacFarland
Groomsman
Mike is Paul's younger brother and lives in Denver, Colorado with his lovely girlfriend, Amber. Dog parents, the two are your typical Colorado people - constantly out there living all of our outdoor dreams: paddle boarding, destroying snow mobiles (mostly Mike), hiking in the mountains, etc. Mike's certainly calmed down in recent years, but get him and Paul together and there's bound to be something lit on fire or used in target practice.
Robby Styer
Groomsman
Brother to Trisha, Robby resides in Dayton, Ohio with his wife, Christy, and son, Aiden. Soon after meeting Paul, Trisha realized he and her brother were going to get along just fine - afterall, they're almost exactly alike. This is the first time Mike, Paul, Robby and Kyle will be all together. And if we're being honest, Trisha is very scared about what they will get into. Images of "The Hangover" flash through her nightmares.
Christy Styer
Bridesmaid
Sister-in-law to Trisha, Christy resides in Dayton, Ohio with her husband, Robby, and his son, Aiden. Christy's personality is infectious and she is nothing less than the sweetest person on the planet. If you introduced Christy to a rock, I have no doubt she would quickly make friends with it. Look for the Irish girl covered in tattoos and you've probably found Christy.
Joseph Alaniz
Bridesman
Trisha was actually Joseph's boss back when she worked in the hotel biz. But she realized pretty soon after meeting him that his sense of humor and love for all things nerdy would spark a nice little friendship. Joseph lives in Corpus Christi with his girlfriend, Stormy. One amazing quality about Joseph is that he is a devout Catholic, truly goes to Mass every Sunday. Coincidentally, he will probably be the person in the conversation that has you going (omg, he did NOT just say that). He's blunt, inappropriate at most times, and absolutely hilarious. Look for Joe on the dance floor. Or dancing really anywhere, dance floor not required.
Jennifer (JJ) Atwood
Groomswoman
JJ lives up in Dallas with her partner in crime and Best Man, Kyle Evans. Also very outgoing and personable, JJ knows no strangers. JJ is super artsy and talented when it comes to creating things. Trisha thought she could hang and party with the best of them - until she met Kyle and JJ. They're really quite impressive.
Olivia MacFarland
Flower Girl
Our beautiful baby isn't a baby anymore. But she will be the cutest stinkin' flower girl y'all will ever see! If you haven't met Miss Olivia, please introduce yourself. She loves meeting new people. Disclaimer: she will talk your head off and/or persuade you to take her on the dance floor to show off her moves
Kevin Styer
Father of the Bride
You ever watch Jeopardy with someone who knows EVERY ANSWER? That's Kevin. Smart as a whip, funny as hell and the perfect husband, father and grandfather anyone can ask for. He knows a thing or two about the essentials: guns, bourbon, Harleys and music.
Theresa "Leigh" Styer
Mother of the Bride
Ah, Leigh. She's quite the character. The perfect counterpart to Kevin, Leigh is the silly, slap-happy one. She's put up with the constant up's and down's of planning this with her daughter. Bless her heart. She's personable, has a knack for painting (whether she admits to it or not), loves her kids and grandkids above all else. Devout Catholic like Joseph, she may also have you going "she did NOT just say that?!". But, only if you get to know her. She's kind of the best, but I may be slightly biased.
