Our Amazing Wedding Party
Robyn Riley
Bride
Born and raised in Austin, TX, Robyn Riley is a proud Austinite and Texas gal with big dreams, bold eyeliner, and an even bolder personality. She studied Communication Design at Texas State University, where she mastered the art of creativity, multitasking, and planning events down to the last color-coded detail and perfectly timed spreadsheet.
Mike Meyer
Groom
Born and raised in Austin, Michael Meyer is a proud Austinite and classic Texas guy who loves to BBQ, hunt, fish, and of course, cheer on his Texas Longhorns. He joined the Navy, following in his father’s footsteps, and after returning home to Austin, he discovered his knack for connecting with people through light-hearted humor, a sharp eye for detail, and a rock-solid work ethic.
Lindsay Williams
Matron of Honor
Robyn and Lindsay’s friendship began in the wild hallways of Kealing Junior High, where fate (and the school schedule) brought them together as Lab Aides in Animal Studies. Their bond was sealed over their shared responsibility for the class sugar gliders. From junior high to high school, and all the way through college (shoutout to The Ohio State and Texas State!), they stayed close. After graduation, the stars aligned: Lindsay moved back to Austin and the 2 upgraded to roommate status. Four unforgettable years, countless margs and queso cravings, deep life talks, wardrobe swaps, and wine nights later, they officially upgraded from besties to chosen sisters. Now, Lindsay stands by Robyn’s side not just as a bridesmaid, but as the person who’s been there through questionable choices in fashion and men, college chaos, and family drama—and wouldn’t miss this next chapter for the world.
Haley Steinberg
Matron of Honor
Robyn and Haley go way, way back—like “trading Lisa Frank stickers and gel pens in 2nd grade” back. They first met at Lee Elementary and have been inseparable ever since. From Lee to Kealing to McCallum, these two basically grew up side by side, sharing birthday parties, surviving awkward phases, questionable fashion choices, and middle school crushes that felt like the end of the world. Bonded by a shared love of queso, chocolate, good music, and spontaneous dance parties (whether or not anyone asked for them), Robyn and Haley have always been each other’s go-to for laughs, late-night snacks, and life advice. Now, Haley is standing by Robyn’s side just like she always has—as a best friend, unofficial hype woman, and lifelong queso companion. Some things never change (and thank goodness for that)!
Tessa Cooper
Bridesmaid
Robyn and Tessa first met at the legendary Dr. John’s Sports Camp (aka the best camp ever) when they were just 8 years old. Between racketball games and Otter Pop breaks, a friendship was formed—and though they went their separate ways for a bit, fate stepped back in when they both ended up at Kealing Junior High and later McCallum High School. From there, it was on: lake days, Mr. Gatti’s pizza feasts, burning mix CDs for each other, and battling for DJ control with their iPods (a sacred role they took very seriously). Over the years, they’ve shared endless laughs, built dream charcuterie boards, with just the right amount of wine-fueled wisdom. And of course, no one else could ever claim the title of “Skittle Buddy.” Now, Robyn is beyond excited to have Tessa by her side—not just as a bridesmaid, but as the same loyal, hilarious, music-loving friend she’s had since the glory days of summer camp and burned CDs.
Bronwyn Owen
Bridesmaid
Robyn met Bronwyn at McCallum High School, and they clicked faster than you can say “3-6-9, damn your fine.” Between silly craft projects, cruisin’ around town, photography adventures, and dancing like no one was watching at house parties (even though everyone was), a beautiful friendship was born. Bronwyn, lovingly known as the space cadet, always brings the unexpected—whether it’s a perfectly timed one-liner or showing up in her own world and somehow still completely in sync with the moment. She’s the kind of friend who can go from deep life conversations to DJing a throwback playlist with flawless vibes. Together, Robyn and Bronwyn have mastered the art of pool days, good beats, and even better company. Robyn couldn’t imagine her wedding day without her partner in margarita-fueled fun, late-night talks, and random-but-accurate dance moves.
Haley Behr
Bridesmaid
Robyn and Haley were in the same circle of friends for years—at Kealing Junior High, McCallum High School, and even Texas State—but somehow didn’t become truly close until after college. Sometimes great things take time... and they may even start with a bold move, like Robyn writing “annoying” over Haley’s yearbook photo. Luckily, Haley forgave the slander. Since then, their friendship has flourished over a mutual love for travel, charcuterie boards worthy of their own Pinterest boards, and wine nights that always go from “just one glass” to deep life talks and belly laughs. Now, Robyn is thrilled to have Haley by her side—proof that some of the best friendships are late bloomers, and that a little yearbook graffiti never hurt anyone.
Becca Durr
Bridesmaid
Robyn and Becca go way back—like Lee Elementary back and continued through high school. Whether it was in the football field stands or the golf course pretending to care about scores, these two always knew how to have a good time together. Their favorite shared activity? Tanning—with very different strategies. Robyn showed up with tanning oil, a full setup, and a whole vibe. Becca? Holy jeans, a T-shirt, and somehow still walked away with pasty white. They bonded over their love of sports, sunshine, and many unforgettable inside jokes one specifically involving condoms and baby oil—don’t ask. (Or do, but be ready for a story.) Through all the years, Becca has stayed the no-BS, ride-or-die friend who always brings the laughs and shows up when it counts. Robyn couldn’t imagine this day without her even if she created a "I Hate Robyn Club" wayyyy back in the day!
Michelle Henson
Bridesmaid
Robyn met Michelle at Kealing Junior High, and even though they ended up at different high schools, their friendship never missed a beat. By the time they reunited as roommates at Texas State, it was clear—they were more than just old friends; they were soul sisters with excellent taste in wine and Tex-mex. Whether they’re poolside with a frozen concoction, exploring a must-try restaurant, or just catching up on life, Robyn and Michelle always bring the perfect mix of fun, food, and real talk. Michelle is the friend who’s been around since the awkward days and stuck around through every chapter since. Now, she’s standing by Robyn’s side for the most exciting one yet.
Katie Findahl
Bridesmaid
Robyn met Katie at through work nine years ago, and they became fast friends—because when two women share a love for queso flameado and vodka, it’s destiny. Over the years, they’ve built a beautiful friendship based on the finer things in life: winery days, spicy margaritas, pizza rolls dipped in ranch, wings on game day, and drunk karaoke sessions. Katie is the friend who always says yes to one more drink, one more song, and one more side of ranch. From wine tastings to wild nights out, she’s been by Robyn’s side through it all—and now she’s there for the biggest celebration yet.
Toni Rackley
Bridesmaid
Robyn met Toni nine years ago through work, and what started as co-vendors quickly turned into a lifelong sisterhood. Together they’ve mastered the art of event planning, wine sipping, and building charcuterie boards that look like they belong in a magazine. Their friendship has taken them to countless Texas country concerts and even more late-night dance floors—where they’re almost guaranteed to request at least one 80s hit and absolutely scream-singing it. Toni has been by Robyn’s side through real life, big dreams, and perfectly themed parties—and now she’s right where she belongs: standing beside her chosen sister on the best day ever.
Shay Mickler
Bridesmaid
Robyn met Shay eight years ago through their mutual partner-in-crime, Toni—and they hit it off faster than Robyn’s driving! Since then, Shay and Robyn have bonded over their mutual love of live music, whether it’s discovering an up-and-coming country artist or dancing their hearts out to Justin Timberlake (a Robyn must). Some of their best memories include deep conversations over a good glass of wine and never turning down an opportunity to get wings and soaking up the sun together at the beach—because nothing says “besties” like sunscreen, sand, and a perfect playlist. Robyn couldn’t be happier to have Shay by her side on her big day.
Zach Meyer
Best Man
Zach is Mike’s little brother—and lifelong sparring partner. They grew up picking on each other nonstop, but the rule was always clear: we mess with each other, but no one else better try. Classic brotherly love, with a side of bruises and sarcasm. Despite the constant roasting, Zach and Mike have always had each other’s backs—and usually each other’s cards. As 42 and Spades partners, they’ve been schooling opponents for years. If you’ve ever lost to them in a game night, don’t worry—it wasn’t personal. They just enjoy crushing spirits. Zach’s here as Mike’s ride-or-die, lifelong teammate, and Best Man—which basically means he’ll help with the wedding… right after reminding everyone who actually carries the card and domino team.
Adam Yamada
Best Man
Adam and Mike have been friends for over 20 years, starting off as neighbors and eventually leveling up to roommates—because what could possibly go wrong when two guys who love sushi, pool, booze, and gambling live under one roof? (Answer: everything. And it was awesome.) Adam only watches football when Mike makes him, but he shows up for the snacks, the drinks, and the highly educational commentary like, “Wait, which team are we again?” Despite that, he’s been Mike’s go-to guy for two decades—through wins, losses, late-night sushi runs, and way too many “double or nothing” bets. As Best Man, Adam’s main job is to keep Mike calm, keep the drinks flowing, and keep himself from giving a speech that starts with, “So this one time in the apartment…”
Kenneth Meyer
Groomsman
Kenneth is Mike’s favorite nephew (don’t worry, the other nephews already know). These two have spent years roasting each other, pulling pranks, and basically treating every family gathering like a comedy roast with BBQ. A die-hard UT fan just like his uncle and dad, Kenneth grew up looking up to “Uncle B” — so much so that he stole some of his socks and a few pick-up lines (results may vary). Whether they’re talking trash, throwing horns up, or teaming up to mess with someone else, Kenneth and Mike are always up to something. Now he’s here to back up his favorite uncle on the big day… and maybe sneak one more pair of socks while no one’s looking.
Chris Chromcak
Groomsman
Chris became Mike's cousin by marriage when he locked it in with Bit Bit, aka Brittany, but after 20+ years of laughs, whiskey, and general chaos, he’s basically blood at this point. Their friendship is built on a rock-solid foundation of good times, questionable decisions, and a shared belief that any situation can be improved with just the right pour of whiskey. Whether they’re hanging out, cracking each other up, or doing absolutely nothing productive, Chris is the guy who keeps the energy high and the jokes flowing. Now he’s here to support Mike on the big day—mostly to make sure there’s enough whiskey and that someone’s got the groom’s back if things go off-script (and let’s be honest, they probably will).
Rusty Reynolds
Groomsman
Mike met Rusty at Contractors Inc, where they quickly realized they shared a mutual love for cornhole, BBQ, whiskey, and arguing about Fantasy Football like it’s a life-or-death situation. Their bond was sealed somewhere between a smoked brisket and a questionable draft pick. When they’re not collecting sports memorabilia or debating who really won last weekend’s game, they’re probably talking trash over a whiskey glass. Rusty’s the guy Mike calls for competition, bad ideas, and great BBQ—and now, he’s here to make sure Mike doesn’t trip walking down the aisle.
Tim Holman
Groomsman
Mike and Tim go way back—over 18 years of friendship, bad decisions, and unforgettable game nights. Their bond is built on beer, brisket, and the sacred art of talking trash over a game of 42 or Man or Mouse (which no one else seems to understand, but they swear it’s a real game). These two have hosted some legendary get-togethers, including their signature event: Build-a-Dog—because nothing says “party” like customizing your own hot dog with 12 questionable toppings and zero regrets. Tim’s the guy who shows up with a cooler, a deck of cards, and a story that ends with, “…and that’s why we’re not allowed back there.” He’s been a ride-or-die friend for nearly two decades, and now he’s here to help Mike tie the knot—ideally without turning the reception into a booze fest.
Kent Smith
Groomsman
Kent started off as Mike’s client—but after a few BBQs, a dozen old fashioneds, and about 400 arguments over which college is the REAL UT, he somehow got promoted to friend (and now, groomsman). These two bond over smoked meat, trash talk, and football debates that never end—mainly because neither of them has ever been wrong in the history of sports. They’ve also perfected the old fashioned recipe, which suspiciously gets stronger the longer they hang out—coincidence? Doubt it. Kent’s here to grill, chill, and probably make at least one toast that’s 30% sentimental and 70% football stats.
JB Brockway
Groomsman
Mike met JB at Contractors Inc, where they quickly discovered they had a lot in common: a love for beer, whiskey, cornhole, BBQ, live music, and avoiding actual work whenever possible. Their friendship was built on fishing trips that turned into beer tastings, BBQs that turned into concerts, and cornhole games that got way too competitive for two grown men. If there’s smoke in the air, a cooler nearby, and music playing, JB’s probably not far behind—likely telling a story that may or may not be true. He’s here to keep the vibes high, the drinks cold, and to remind Mike of all the dumb stuff they’ve done together… just not during the ceremony.
Josh Rackley
Groomsman
Josh met Mike at Contractors Inc., but their bond really formed over BBQ, UT football, and old fashioneds that are basically just bourbon with a decorative orange peel. Add in a few late-night games on the Craps table and the fact that their laides' are besties, and now they’re basically contractually obligated to hang out forever. If there’s meat on the smoker, a game on TV, and whiskey in hand, you can bet Josh and Mike are in their happy place—probably ignoring whatever chore they were supposed to be doing. Now he’s here to make sure Mike gets hitched without accidentally turning the reception into a sportsbook. Whose going to win the football game on 10.4 - Longhorns or Gators?
