Wedding Party
Logan Pattyson
Bride
My wife-to-be is one of the most incredible people I’ve ever known. Her creativity blows me away—whether she’s painting, drawing, or designing our house decor, she has this effortless way of turning the world around her into something beautiful. Her artwork isn’t just talent—it’s a reflection of her heart: thoughtful, expressive, and full of life. But beyond all that, it’s her kindness, her strength, and the way she loves that truly sets her apart. I already know she’s going to be an amazing mother one day—nurturing, patient, and full of the same warmth and compassion she shows every day. I can already picture our kids looking up to her the way I do. I feel unbelievably lucky to walk into this next chapter with her. She’s my best friend, my inspiration, and the person I want by my side for the rest of my life.
Oliver Tyreman
Groom
Born and raised in Oxford, my future husband is a perfect blend of British charm, quiet strength, and unfathomable sweetness. A fan of heavy metal and country (I know, it works for him) he might not remember a single correct lyric—but that doesn’t stop him from passionately making up his own. He is constantly making me laugh and I know I can be silliest self around him. Beneath the quiet exterior and dry wit is someone incredibly thoughtful, hardworking, and full of heart. He shows his love in the most beautiful ways— whether it’s a grand gesture like flying from the UK to Naples to surprise me for Valentine’s Day, or in the everyday moments like leaving handwritten notes for me to find in the morning, he makes me feel seen and loved at every opportunity. He makes even the ordinary feel magical and has given me a real world fairy tale love. Part of our fairytale dream is to have a ranch one day, and knowing the kind of hardworking man he is, I have no doubt that he will do whatever is required to make that dream a reality. It is an honor to be by his side building that life with him. I can’t wait to marry this man and watch him become the most loving and supportive father to our future children. I love you, Oliver. Forever and always.
Linda Threlkeld
Mother of the Bride
My mother is a woman of kindness, strength, beauty, and endless love. Through every chapter of my life she has been a model for how to be there for those you love and how to treat others as you would want to be treated. She goes above and beyond for those she loves, often to her own detriment, and it is not lost on me as I get older and start thinking about building a family of my own, the amount of sacrifices she made for my sister and I growing up. She is unwavering in her support, wisdom, and joyful spirit and these qualities have helped shape the woman I am today. As she watches me begin a new journey, I hope she does so with pride in her heart, tears in her eyes, and an understanding of the role she played in me finding the love of my life. I can only attempt to repay you for this gift by sending your new son to assist in any lawn care or household projects you may have! Thank you for everything you do and everything you are, Mama, I love you!
Emma Tyreman
Mother of the Groom
My mum is the strongest woman I know. She’s the kind of person who gives everything she has to the people she loves, always putting others before herself. Her heart is huge, her kindness knows no limits, and she has taught me more about love and resilience than anyone else ever could. Even as she continues her brave journey with cancer, she carries herself with such courage, grace, and warmth. She shows up every day with a quiet strength and an open heart, reminding everyone around her what it truly means to be selfless and strong. She’s shaped me into the man I am today, and I’m so proud to be her son. Having her by my side on this day—and in life—is something I’ll never take for granted.
Layne Pattyson
Maid of Honor
My sister, my maid of honor, is truly one of a kind. She’s a party planner extraordinaire—someone who can turn even the simplest gathering into something magical, elegant, and a little bit extra, just the way we like it. She has an appreciation for the finer things in life, like a smooth glass of whiskey, but at the same time will spend hours hunting for diamonds in the rough at the local thrift stores- all with an effortless sense of style! But beyond the sparkle and the immaculately curated playlists, she’s my person. No one makes me laugh like she does, often to the point of tears, over a single look or a perfectly timed movie quote. We have this unspoken language made up of inside jokes, pop culture references, and years of knowing exactly what the other is thinking. She knows me—every messy, beautiful, ridiculous part of me—and somehow loves me more because of it. Having her by my side as my maid of honor isn’t just a choice; it’s a given. She’s been my built-in best friend since day one, and I couldn’t imagine taking this next step in life without her right there, probably quoting SpongeBob, whiskey/ginger ale in hand, making sure everything runs perfectly… while keeping me laughing through it all. I love you my beautiful sister. Thank you for everything you do and all that you are!
Prenn Nguyen
Best Man
Prenn has known the bride since middle school, so naturally, when she mentioned meeting a cute British guy on Bumble, Prenn—being the lovable, nosy chismoso (gossip) that he is—had to meet him immediately. When that fated meeting finally happened, it was the start of an instant bromance. As small business owners, Prenn and Ollie quickly bonded over their shared hustle and strong work ethic, building a mutual respect that became the foundation for countless double dates with Prenn’s stunning wife, Larissa. Whether it was hunting for hidden speakeasies around Downtown Fort Myers or staying in for pizza and board games, the four of them have built the kind of friendship that feels like family. Prenn has been there from the very beginning of Logan and Ollie’s love story, witnessing every milestone and bringing laughter, loyalty, and heart along the way. His friendship and unwavering support have helped make this new country feel like home. Here’s to Prenn—the Best Man a guy could ask for!
