Blair & Ryan
Wedding Party
Lauren Sligh
Matron of Honor
Friend of the Bride Friends since freshman year at Clemson. From J-stone slumming, dancing on the couch parties on Sloan street, to late night pizza and taco bell runs, Lauren has always been such a great friend. The Perkins family was so welcoming and Greenwood, SC soon became my second home while living at Clemson. They even took us in during Hurricane Florence. Lauren now lives in Henderson, NV and has a little boy, Liam.
Michael McCarty
Best Man
Brother of the Groom Michael has been Ryan's biggest idol his entire life. Watching Michael excel in athletes from a young age is where Ryan learned his competitive drive. When Ryan had nightmares he would knock on Michael's bedroom door and ask to have a sleep over. Ryan knew his big brother would always protect him. As they have gotten older their big/little brother relationship has grown into something more. Michael is now Ryan's best friend and confidant. He is truly blessed to have a big brother like Michael.
Julianne Runey
Maid of Honor
Friend of the Bride I met Julianne after moving to Wilmington in 2018. I knew we'd be friends as soon as I met her during one of my job interviews. She now works with Ryan. Julianne's positive and high energy attitude is infectious... you can count on her to bring the games and the music. We enjoy a lot of the same things, including beach walks, working out, dogs, happy hour, dance parties, and TJ Maxx. We also share the love of Post Malone. Julianne is Jake and Moose’s second mom and often takes care of them. We are lucky to have Julianne as a friend!
Dylan Meier
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom Dylan and Ryan were high school basketball teammates and college roommates. Few people can lighten up a room more than Dylan's witty personality. After high school Dylan and Ryan's relationship grew, spending many days boating at the lake, fishing, and playing pick up basketball.
Jenna Coneys
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride Friends ever since we escaped our first semester freshman roommates and moved in together! So grateful for that! We made the best memories at Clemson from J-stone to Sloan St, including tailgating, slushies at the lake, weekend trips, dance parties, TTT's, and many more. Jenna has always been a generous and supportive friend. She also taught me the ins/outs of living in the south. She now lives in ATL with her growing family + Winnie.
Ben McGahan
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom Ben and Ryan have been close friends ever since Ben moved to Grand Island in 3rd grade. Ryan and Ben spent many nights having sleepovers where they would trade Pokemon cards in elementary school, or play guitar hero in high school. Ryan and Ben had been known to get into mischief together throughout high school. Ryan and Ben went their separate ways in grad school as Ben went on to medical school to become a neurosurgeon. Ryan went on to move to North Carolina and pursue physical therapy. They remained close friends throughout this. Ryan now looks to Ben for professional advice about patients of concern. Crazy to think how far these two have come.
Kristy Irsik
Bridesmaid
Sister of the Groom Kristy is Ryan’s sister and lives in Kansas with her family. Growing up together, Kristy taught Ryan everything he knows about “girls and dating”. Ryan and Kristy share a lot of the same interests. Kristy and Matt are both hard-working and amazing parents to their boys. We love spending time with them and their boys, Carter and Robby. Kristy and Matt are always fun to visit!
Logan Almond
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom Logan and Ryan have been friends since Logan moved to Grand Island in 6th grade. Ryan and Logan have played nearly every sport together and continue to be lifelong golfing buddies. Time spent on the golf course is where their relationship grew. Their rivalry on the course is what lead to their future success. Ryan spent many nights over at the Almond house as it had turned into his "second home". Logan's mom Melissa always had an extra place at the dinner table for Ryan to eat with their family. Ryan is thankful to have had such a lifelong friend in Logan.
Kelly Morris
Bridesmaid
Sister of the Groom Kelly is Ryan’s older sister and lives in Texas with her family. We really enjoyed seeing them often when we lived close to them for 2 years in Dallas. We love when we get to see her and the kids, Kennedi and Kaden!
Sean Husted
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom Ryan and Sean met at Duke in PT school. They were roommates at "Chateau Dupont" where Sean protected Ryan through 2 break-ins. Although they live across the country, they still talk nearly daily. Sean got a golden retriever because of Jake (our golden). Though they only see each other maybe once a year, when together, it is like time hasn't passed.
Michael Losak
Officiant
Brother of the Bride Michael is Blair’s older brother and lives in California. Although we're 3.5 years apart, we have always been close. Michael has since made up for tormenting me when we were little, from sleep walking into my room to telling me the tooth fairy was a vampire. Today we share the love of travel and staying active/getting outdoors. Michael is now an ED physician in San Francisco. We love visiting Michael and always have a good time together!
