Megan and the bride met at JCPenney. Throughout the bride's time working there they bonded over folding clothes and complaining about their manager. Now they have leveled up in their careers and grew closer through health and fitness.
Madelyn Burkhardt
Bridesmaid
Madelyn, the groom’s younger sister, has always been his built-in best friend. They’ve shared countless experiences growing up and have only grown closer over the years. Whether it’s cat-sitting, spontaneous dinner nights, or simply being a shoulder to cry on, Maddie and the groom are always there for each other—and he will always be there for her.
Kennedy Andronikidis

Kennedy and the bride first crossed paths working at JCPenney in 2018. What began as coworkers quickly turned into the kind of friendship she will treasure forever.
Nayely Espinoza-Perez
Bridesmaid
Nayely is part of the JCPenney crew, and when she and the bride weren’t busy helping customers, she would teach the bride how to tell Darrion he was a “bonehead” in Spanish. She also introduced the bride to authentic Mexican food—and most importantly, to the magic of tres leches cake.

Alexis and the bride met while working at JCPenney in 2018. What started out as sneaking over to sophora during our shift turned into a lifelong friend. Her loyalty, humor, and heart mean the world to the bride.
Yomangie Arias
Bridesmaid
Yomangie moved to Michigan from Puerto Rico in 2023, and in the short time they worked together, she and the bride formed a special friendship. After a year, she moved to New York to be with her family. The bride has never met anyone quite like her, and work will never feel the same without her.
Tyler Brown
Best Man
Over the past 16 years, Tyler has been more than just a friend-he's become like a brother to the groom. Despite school changes, countless moves, and the ups and downs of adult life, their bond has only grown stronger. If you ask the groom, he would say he is "my brother from another mother." His family has always treated the groom like one of their own, and the groom truly looks forward to continuing life's journey side-by-side as they grow their families, "Uncle Tyler."
Logan Sloat

Dean, the groom’s childhood friend, reconnected with him in their early twenties. Bonded by a shared passion for fishing, they’ve spent countless hours together exploring Lake St. Clair and its winding delta waterways.
