Wedding Party
Destiny Dewey
Matron of Honor
Hi, I am Destiny! I have had the privilege of being friends with the bride since we were eight years old, and I am so honored to be her maid of honor on her and Tanners special day.
Sierra Jahnke
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Sierra. Emma and I have been friends for a few years now, and we met while working at Starbucks. Who would have thought a part-time college job would lead me to one of my closest friendships. We bonded almost instantly—thanks in large part to our shared love of Taylor Swift (no surprise there). From there, our friendship naturally grew. We’ve attended two Eras Tour concerts together, hosted countless listening parties, and created more “shift drinks” than we can probably count. Getting to know Emma and Tanner, and watching their relationship grow, has truly been a highlight of my life. The way they admire and support one another is something special. You can feel their joy the moment they walk into a room. They are a perfect match, and I feel so honored to stand beside them on such an important day.
Grant Rankin
Bridesman

Alexis Christopher
Bridesmaid
Heyyy! My name is Lexi, and I’m one of the bridesmaids. I’ve known Emma since we were in elementary school, so it’s really special for me to be here celebrating this moment with her. I’m so excited to be part of her big day and to watch her start this new chapter!
Alex Wooden
Best Man
My name is Alex, and I am Tanner's twin brother. I am lucky to have not only grown up by his side but to see Tanner and Emma's relationship blossom throughout the years. I am proud and honored to be the best man at their wedding!
Bret Kendall
Groomsman
My Name is Bret and I’m Tanners best friend from across the street. The Wooden’s moved in when I was 9 years old and we have grown up and evolved together through the years. I’m super thrilled to have been able to see Tanner and Emma’s love for each other grow throughout the years and I’m honored to be a groomsman in the wedding.
Jill Gunderson
Officiant
My name is Jill and I’m Emma’s cousin. I had the privilege of watching Emma and Tanners love story from the very beginning and am honored to be the officiate of their wedding.
Brenda Rankin
Mother of the Bride
Hi. I’m Emma’s mom, Brenda. I am not sure how we went from Emma’s first steps to walking her down the aisle at her wedding! But I am so excited for her and Tanner and all the future holds for them.
Gabriel Rankin
Father of the Bride
My name is Gabe and I am Emma’s father. I always said Emma wasn’t allowed to date till she was 30. But who was I kidding? Emma has always been determined to do her own thing in her own time. And, I actually like Tanner. So I guess it’s cool that they are getting married—even though she’s still not old enough to date.
Amy Wooden
Mother of the Groom
Hello - I’m Amy Wooden, mother of the groom. We are excited to share in Tanner and Emma’s special day and welcome her in to the family - though she’s been a part of it for years already! Seeing these two tie the knot will be the icing on the cake - or maybe the chocolate sauce on ice cream would be a more appropriate reference for this happy couple? Congrats to the bride and groom!
Jim Wooden
Father of the Groom
I’m Tanner’s dad Jim. I’m so excited for these two amazing people to start their new lives as a family.
