Wedding Party
Holly Applegate
Matron of Honor
Holly and the bride have been friends since pre-K. They have truly been each others soul sisters since day one. Holly and her family moved away when they were little, years later they were able to rekindle their friendship. They picked up right where they left off! There isn't someone better fit for RayLynn's Matron of Honor on her big day!
Christian Tschippert
Best Man
Christian is the little brother of the groom. Hunter and his friends (Derek, Jacob, Dan and Cole), loved to pick on Christian growing up. Now, Hunter and Christian have a very close relationship but still love to pick on each other. One of the brides favorite memories of Christian is him falling off a barstool and flipping an entire bar table as he fell. They quickly got kicked out of the bar after that!
Abigail Tigani
Maid of Honor
Abby and the bride first met in college when they were rushing. Starting junior year, they were roommates for 2 years. Countless memories were made in that house in Lawrence. The bride is so thankful Abby put her fear for dogs aside and decided to move in junior year. Fun fact: Abby was a dancer in college and often attempted to teach RayLynn her routines. It never really worked out but RayLynn knows a lot of the choreography to the Jayhawk chants!
Derek Bullis
Groomsman
Derek and Hunter have been inseparable since elementary school. There was a group of 5 of them who caused their parents a lot of headaches growing up. Derek and Hunter still bond over playing video games, Busch Light and all things sports.
Talia Tschippert
Bridesmaid
Talia is the little sister of the groom. The bride and Talia have grown close over the last 3 years and RayLynn is thankful to have a future sister who has welcomed her in so graciously! Talia has been RayLynn's soundboard during the wedding planning process, this day wouldn't be possible without her!
Peyton Young
Groomsman
Hunter and Peyton met in college at OU. Peyton is a year younger than Hunter, they were in the same fraternity. Oddly enough, Peyton didn't pick Hunter to be his big. Funny that he is now apart of the wedding party!
Darcy Snethen
Bridesmaid
Darcy and the bride met when RayLynn transitioned to being a night shift nurse. RayLynn always appreciated Darcy setting her straight when she needed it on the job. Before Darcy relocated, they really enjoyed "sad bath hours" with their intubated and sedated patients. With both of them being in CRNA school and planning weddings, they get each other on a level that no one else does.
Ryan Whitman
Groomsman
Ryan and Hunter also went to college together at OU. They were also in the same fraternity. Ryan and Hunter have lots of inappropriate stories but we will save those for another time.
Genevieve Bullis
Bridesmaid
Genevieve and the bride have been friends since RayLynn started her nursing career! They first met when Genevieve was a nurse on the same floor RayLynn started out as a nursing tech on. Genevieve was actually the one who introduced the bride and groom together! She knew they would make a perfect match. Genevieve and RayLynn share a love for ICU nursing, thrifting and crafting.
Jacob Paschal
Groomsman
Jacob was one of the 5 boys who ran around together from elementary school and on. Jacob and Hunter lived together for a few years and they also have some stories that should be saved for another time! Hunter is forever thankful he let Jacob sit next time him on his first day.
Makenzie Froehlich
Bridesmaid
Kenzie and the bride started out as being friends because of their significant others. However, they have grown extremely close over the last couple years. They love to take shots of pickle vodka together, enjoy spending time on the lake and playing euchre!
Daniel Reilly
Groomsman
Dan is another elementary school friend. These two grew up playing baseball together, both of them being coached by Dan's dad! They spent a lot of time in "the loft" at the Tschippert household playing video games and eating pizza rolls.
Isabella Trinidad
Bridesmaid
Bella and the bride have really bonded over the last couple years. They were referred to as the "twins" on a trip last year and haven't lived it down since. You will be able to find them out on the dance floor all night long. Don't judge their questionable dance moves!
Cole Denzin
Groomsman
Last but not least, the 5th member of the group of 5. Just like the others he and Hunter bonded over baseball, video games and spending time in "the loft". Cole and Hunter still share a love for baseball to this day.
Wade Bitter
Usher
Wade and the bride have been friends since they were in diapers together. Although RayLynn didn't have siblings her age growing up, Wade was the closest thing to that. They often argue like siblings but deep down would do anything for each other. Their parents often coin RayLynn as the "golden child" which always annoys Wade. It only seems fitting to have him be apart of the big day!
Aaron Froehlich
Usher
Aaron (aka Fro) is another friend met through Derek. Words are hard to describe Fro, he truly has never met a stranger and brings the life to any party. Fro and Kenzie taught the bride and groom how to play Euchre. Odds are, one of them has a deck of cards on them at any given time!
Alex Moore
Usher
Alex is a new addition to the Tschippert family, him and Talia have been together for a few years now. Alex and Hunter have really bonded over the last year with their sports talks and incredibly dry sense of humor. The bride and groom know how great of an addition he is to the family.
Josh Parker
Usher
Josh and Hunter became friends through Derek. They really bonded over their love for country music and Megan Moroney. The bride actually has a picture from the first time she met Josh (before her and Hunter even started dating) of him holding a signed picture of Megan. Josh is also the designated hungover driver.
Delpha Hutton
Flower Grandma
Delpha (Nana) is the grandmother of the groom. Nana is one of the first family members Hunter introduced Ray to. She has been such an important part of Hunters life, she attended so many sporting events and has been so supportive. One of Hunter and Ray's favorite meals Nana makes in her friend chicken and okra. Truly the best fried okra they've ever had!
Sue Lee
Flower Grandma
Sue is the grandmother of the bride. Sue has been such a big part of RayLynn's life and has made a huge impact on her. One of RayLynn's favorite memories is her grandparents hosting 'Nanny and Papa' camp growing up. All the cousins were sent to the grandparents house for a week without the parents. It was the best week, full of junk food, video games, crafting and lots of sugar!
Mark Hutton
Officiant
Mark (Digger) is the grandfather of the groom. Digger and Hunter share a strong bond over OU sports. Digger is one of the most influential people in Hunter's life. He makes some very good (and strong) gin and tonics. The bride and groom know they will always have many laughs when they are around Digger!
Tom Lee
Officiant
Tom is the grandfather of the bride. Tom has set such a great example to RayLynn of someone who is strong in their faith. Tom, just like Sue, has been a huge part of RayLynn's life. One of RayLynn's favorite memory of her grandfather is him teaching her how to snipe hunt. If you haven't ever gone snipe hunting, Tom and RayLynn would love to take you!
