Amber & Brendan
Wedding Party
Samuel Samson
Best Man
Being the only tea-sip in our wedding party isn't an easy job, but somebody has to do it. Brendan met Sam on one of his trips to Israel and despite the distance between College Station and that one city down the road, they have been inseparable ever since. Brendan and I could not ask for a better friend, travel buddy, and brother in Christ.
Allison Wilkens
Maid of Honor
Allison is a member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2020, a political science major, and one of our closest friends. Her passion for the Church and wedding planning inspires us to grow in faith. Without her unwavering dedication to our wedding, we'd be lost! She is everything one would want in a bridesmaid and more.
Dalton Tasset
Groomsman
Dalton and Brendan first met in Israel during the summer of 2018 on a trip sponsored by TPUSA. This is also where they met Samuel Samson and they quickly became very close. The Texas Trio even went back to that Israel that Winter on a trip sponsored by ZOA. Dalton is very classy and flamboyant due to the fact that he loves taking 45 minutes in the bathroom getting ready before any adventure. Whether it's the Texas State Fair or CPAC in Washington D.C., you can rely on Dalton for any get together!
John Cassell
Groomsman
Leading the front of marine biology, John works tirelessly to educate and serve others in the beauty of our planet. His love for turtles outshines all!
Mr. & Mrs. Cassell
Father and Mother of the Groom
By far our most adamant boat chasers and outstanding Marylanders, Mr. and Mrs. Cassell keep our day exciting with their fun, adventurous touches. We would not trade their support of our marriage for the world.
Matthew Herdrich
Groomsman
As freshmen, Matthew and Brendan were placed in the same squad while in Rudder's Ranger's, an elite ROTC unit for hardcore and motivated cadets. However, Matthew and Brendan were anything but hardcore and motivated. They spent the first year confused and often lost together in the woods during training...but they did it together. They have been inseparable since.
Conor Mahoney
Groomsman
Conor and Brendan played lacrosse together at Walter Johnson High School and quickly became close. Alongside Liam Morris, the trio spent a lot of time together. One of their favorite moments together includes going on McDonald's lunch dates and abusing the coupon system to get extra snacks. Conor is currently in his last year at Virginia Tech. The trio still hangs out during breaks from school when Conor's Mom will allow it.
Liam Morris
Groomsman
Liam and Brendan were in the Boy Scouts together and went on many adventures together over the years. The best times were always at the annual week long summer camp in Goshen, West Virginia. After bunking with Liam dozens of times, you will quickly learn that he is the heaviest sleeper you will ever meet. Even through Liam quit the scouts too soon, his friendship with Brendan continued into high school. Liam is now the star volleyball player for the North Carolina Belmont Abbey Crusaders.
April Follis
Bridesmaid
As a fellow middle child in the Follis Family, April thoroughly understands the upbringing of the Bride. April is a member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2024 studying political science with aspirations to become a lawyer. With her expertise in playing the violin, we are beyond blessed to have her advice in the planning process.
Mairead Mooney
Bridesmaid
Meet Mairead, whose name sounds like parade only with an "M". Mairead keeps both the bride and groom on their toes through her impeccable Irish dancing, contagious smile, and unshakable faith. Although we met Mairead just two short years ago, we wish it could've been sooner. Through our meanderings of daily Mass and late night talks, Mairead easily completes our wedding party.
Christopher Cassell
Groomsman
Christopher is the middle brother of the Cassell boys. Brendan and Chris enjoyed playing Yu-Gi-Oh and basketball together. Some of the best memories Brendan has with Christopher is spending weekends with Christopher and his fraternity brothers when he went to High Point University in North Carolina. One their favorite things to bond over is their favorite TV show Naruto. Christopher is currently a police officer in Florida.
Isabelle Williams
Bridesmaid
Isabelle is a public health major at Texas A&M who never fails to look out for anyone she knows. Whether it be for health, emotional support, or a lending hand, we can always depend on Isabelle for anything we may want or need. Her resilience and loyal spirit help us stay grounded and appreciate life's wonders.
