Wedding Party
Rylie Matherne (Rylie Kennedy)
Bride
I never imagined I would find a love as steady and stunning as the one I share with Rylie. Every day, Rylie reminds me what it feels like to be truly seen, appreciated, and understood in a way that goes beyond words. I’m endlessly grateful for the way our hearts fit, for the way we choose each other, and for the future we’re building hand in hand. I’m thankful for how Rylie helps me with Paris and accepts her as a package deal. I can’t wait to spend forever with Rylie — my greatest blessing, my constant, and the love of my life.
Peyton Kennedy
Groom
Here is the man I've been dreaming of. My soulmate. Peyton is the kindest, sweetest, most loveable, caring, loyal man I've ever met. I truly couldn't have this day without him as a part of it. From the first time we hung out, he has made me laugh in way I have never laughed before, smile from ear to ear, feel safe and protected. When I imagine what love looks like, I see Peyton. He has shown me what true love really is. Whether we’re laughing over something silly or conquering life’s challenges together, he’s always there with patience and love. When I fall, he's right there to pick me up. He brings out the best in me. I can't wait to see this chapter unfold and to live a long happily married life together. He has molded me into who I am today, and I couldn't thank him enough for always bringing out the best version of me. My best friend, My rock, My home, My future husband!
Molly Trahan
Matron of Honor
Molly and I became friends right before I started my first year at John Curtis. She was one of my first friends. Her and I were always the two that would get separated in class because we talked too much. After graduation, Molly is the only one that I stayed in touch with every single day. We even drove 4 hours to Buc-ees one day just because we were bored. Who does that? US😝 Now even into grown adults, we are still super super close with each other and would still probably get separated from each other if we were in class. Thank you, John Curtis, for sending me my Matron of Honor!
Cameron Director
Best Man
You can almost guess how us goofballs met. Softball. As normally for me, it did not take long for me to hit it off with a fellow sports guy. Talking about sports, especially softball is what we can spend hours talking on. Most of the time it's me begging Cameron to come play ball. Cameron has always stuck up for me in situations and has always shown loyalty to me. He is what the definition of best friend is. We are always going at it like brothers, but none the less he’s one of my best buds. When you need a pick me up, he is the guy that will get you laughing so hard, you feel as you'll have a 6 pack of abs after.
Jasmine Boudreaux
Bridesmaid
Jasmine is my stepsister, but nothing short of my sister. At two years old, I was blessed with another sister, and I couldn't thank God enough for her. When I need advice, I not only have one sister, but I have two to give me the best advice or opinion. I have always looked up to her as a role model. She then gave the greatest gift of becoming an aunt to her two beauties, Rori and Briggs. From childhood memories to wedding planning chaos, she’s been there every step of the way.
Tyler Boudreaux
Groomsman
Tyler is Rylie's Brother-In-Law and soon to be mine! Whenever the family is together, you can find us having a conversation about golf, a mud park and the four wheelers. Our personalities and hobbies are matched up so our friendship was easily born. Playing golf at the Masters or a 5-star golf course in Florida would be an awesome trip.
Maci Newman
Bridesmaid
I gave Maci a great title of "Big Sister" at 8 years old. Growing up, it was rough but sweet. As you can imagine 2 girls fighting over who gets the bathroom first, but it was nothing short of two sisters who loved each other. As we got older, we grew closer together and less fighting over the bathroom. Nothing in life is better than to have a bigger sister to go through life with. She gave me a blessing to become a Nanny of not one but two amazing, smart, and beautiful little girls. One of my favorite things that I share with her is when I get a facetime from her and I get to talk to the kiddos. I'm blessed to be her little sister. I couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her by my side.
Bryce Rogowski
Groomsman
Bryce is my cousin. The favorite one. Bryce and I are made from the cloth; we both have a funny and sarcastic personalities. We both love the game of baseball and golf. When we get together in the same room, the laughs come along like a stand-up comedy show. You can always get a good laugh out when we are around each other. We are truly two peas in a pod.
Angelique Stierwald
Bridesmaid
Angelique is a girl who became my best friend very very fast. We just instantly clicked. You never knew what her and I would ever be up to, but mom always knew if Lele was going I was alright. On random Thursday nights we could be at my house, her house or even on a boat slamming some frogs into the boat. That was just something we did quite often too. That one boat trip frogging turned into almost an every night thing from Thursday-Sunday nights. It didn't matter who we were going with, we we're going frogging. One of my favorite memories I have with Le is the one time she drove 4 hours to come get me from a mud park at 10pm when she had work the next morning. That is a best friend.
Shane Mcquillin
Groomsman
Meeting Shane wasn't just another friend in softball, but it became a brotherhood. When advice is needed, I know exactly who to go to. He has become family to me not only in the softball world, but also outside of it. Our friendship has grown far beyond the softball field, and I'll forever cherish all the phone calls, memories, and road trips we have taken together. Having Shane stand by myside means a lot to me not only because he's one of my good friends, but because he's stuck with me through it all. I couldn't imagine this day without having him by my side.
Emaley Prine
Bridesmaid
Emaley was my first ever friend. It all started when I signed up to play recreational volleyball. When tryouts came, I was picked to be on her team and her mom as the coach. At 6 and 5 years old, we became besties for life. We even went to the same middle school and high school (for 1 year) together. We then drifted a little bit until a small hurricane came through. Emaley asked to have a sleepover. Then for some reason after that it became a thing that when a hurricane or tropical storm came, we would have sleepovers. Still to this day she asks to sleepover. We have shared so many laughs, jokes and special memories together that I will forever cherish.
Rori Dejean
Junior Bridesmaid
Rori is my first niece, the one who made me an aunt, the one who stole a piece of my heart. I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. The smile I held on my face for hours after I held her and looked into her eyes for the first time. I've watched her grow into this beautiful, smart little girl she is now. I have watched her accomplish many milestones in life and what a great blessing it is to have her witness one of mine.
Briggs Boudreaux
Junior Bridesmaid
Briggs is another one of my nieces, Rori's sister. Watching her and her sister grow up together reminds me so much of me and my sisters when we were younger. I've also watched you accomplish so many milestones in life, and they may be small, but they are big to me. I am so thankful to have you on my side to witness one of my milestones. I love watching you grow into this beautiful, smart, funny and SASSY little girl. I can 100% say she loves her "Payden".
Parker Newman
Ring Princess
Parker is my first godchild also one of my nieces. My little bitty girl. Every time she sees or hears me calling her momma, she answers the phone with " I want to talk to Pey Pey or Paris" I think it is safe to say she approves of Pey Pey. Her beautiful face lights up like a shining star when I walk into the room and it melts my heart. I can't wait to see her walk down the aisle.
Paris Kennedy
Flower Girl
Paris is Peyton's little girl who I have the greatest blessing to be a bonus parent to. The first day I met her she instantly stole my entire heart. When her dad and I got engaged she told me "I'm going to be the flower girl when you and daddy get married and I'm going to wear the prettiest dress like a princess" and when I tell you I almost cried. She amazes me every day with how smart she is. She makes every day worth looking forward to. Her daddy and I are so blessed to have her as a special part on our special day.
Lisa Morel
Officiant
Lisa is Peyton's first cousin. Lisa's caring, lovable and sweet personality, will shine during our ceremony. Having somebody close to our family as our officiant means more to us than anything. We just knew with her loving soul, she had to officiate the best day ever.
