Sally & Andrew
Wedding Party
Mary Tanner
Maid of Honor
Mary is Sally's amazing older sister. They have grown up sharing a room, no matter which state, country, or even continent they lived in. Sally even followed Mary to college and transferred once she graduated. They run races together and even allow Andrew to join (only on the 4th of July ifykyk). Mary and Sally have always had the same friends, including when Andrew joined their lives. If anyone knows how to have a good time, it's Mary (cough couch Schlachthof), so they expect to continue having fun together for years to come. They could not imagine not having Mary (Schwester) with them on their special day. Mary is currently a nurse in Pittsburgh, living her best life.
Jordan
Best Man
Sally and Andrew had the honor of meeting Jordan in their junior year of high school. Jordan was new to school, and Sally insisted on making him sit with them at lunch. Eating together at lunch led to Jordan hanging out with Sally and Andrew more often than not. The three became an iconic trio that couldn't be separated. There are many fun and crazy memories they all share, and they hope to create more in the future. Hopefully, without anyone choking on their water.... Jordan is one of the funniest people in their life, and they could not have a wedding that Jordan is not a part of. Jordan is currently attending Georgia Southern and works at a golf course.
Katie Hodge
Matron of Honor
Katie is Sally's eldest sister. Katie came to visit in Germany when Sally and Andrew first started dating. Andrew easily fit in with the family's sense of humor and sarcasm. She caught on to the way Sally would say Andrew's name and also started calling him that way. She even said "Andrewwww" to a random man at work and had to explain the story. Sally has always looked up to Katie very much. She gives the best advice but is not afraid to be her goofy, authentic self. Sally had the privilege of being a maid of honor at Katie's wedding, so she absolutely needs her big sissy in hers! Katie is married to the AMAZING Jason and she slays as a Medical Physicist.
Malachi Henderson
Groomsman
Malachi is Sally's (not so much) baby cousin. When Sally and Andrew first started dating, Malachi wanted nothing more than to play baseball with Andrew. Andrew and Malachi were able to talk whenever Sally called Andrew, and soon started texting on their own. Almost 3 years later, Malachi and Andrew finally met when Andrew came to spend Christmas with Sally's family in California. The two instantly clicked, and Andrew taught him how to do pushups, and they bonded over sports. When Malachi came to Georgia, they were able to spend a lot of quality time together. Sally was thrilled when Andrew told her he thought Malachi should be in the wedding. Malachi is a freshman in high school and is an absolute beast on his Junior Varsity football team!
Emily McGuire
Bridesmaid
Emily aka Emmers and Sally met in their freshman year of college. They shared every single class and instantly became best friends. Emily has an extremely strong faith and has inspired Sally in a huge way. While Emily is very hard-working and smart, she is also such a goofy little goober. Sally could not imagine her time at Franciscan without her love, support, and kindness. Whether it was spending late nights in the library, laughing till they cried, venting about school work, going on early morning walks, the occasional bickering and snapping between the two, or just sitting in silence, Sally has enjoyed every passing moment she has spent with Emily. Sally has told her an endless number of stories, and she could recite many of Emily's stories as well. Sally could not have her special day without Emily by her side. Emily is currently at Franciscan University and will be the best teacher someday!!
Aidan Varnes
Groomsman
Aidan became friends with Andrew and Sally in their junior year of high school. They started to get much closer during their senior year. Aidan and Andrew share a similar sarcastic sense of humor. The two of them made Sally laugh every day in math class. Sally and Andrew loved spending time with the hilarious and sweet Aidan and wanted him to stop being so mysterious, so they made him join their lunch table. Whenever he joined them, it was a blast. Andrew and Aidan love the Scream movies, so they made Sally watch a few with them. It's been years, and rumor has it Sally still needs a nightlight. Andrew and Sally even got Aidan to come on a few crazy nights on the town. They always had a blast walking through Wiesbaden to Aidan's house. Aidan is an incredible friend who is always there when they need him. He has always supported their relationship. Aidan is an absolute necessity to have on the big day. Aidan is attending Wright State University, where he is working hard to become a nurse.
Ava Stout
Bridesmaid
Ava is one of the kindest and most uplifting people you’ll ever meet. She and Sally grew close during varsity cheer, where they spent countless practices laughing together and building a strong friendship. Ava was always there to encourage Sally and quickly became a friend she could truly count on. They often joked that becoming “alternates” was the best thing that could have happened, since it gave them endless time to talk and laugh together on the sidelines. By senior year, the two shared an unforgettable season cheering side by side, and saying goodbye at graduation was bittersweet. Their friendship is full of laughter, support, and memories that will last a lifetime. Sally even told Andrew then that Ava would one day be her bridesmaid—so of course she’s here to celebrate this special day. Ava is now at the University of Tampa pursuing teaching while also excelling in track and field!
Landon Escobar
Groomsman
Landon has been through all of high school with Sally and Andrew. Landon was one of the main people who constantly told Sally that Andrew "definitely liked her" and that they should date. He witnessed Andrew walking passed his and Sally's English class every day to wave at her. While the three were friends through the years, Andrew and Landon became much closer friends their senior year. Since Ava and Sally were so close, they found themselves talking more at football, lunch, and then Landon even joined the baseball team. Landon has always supported their relationship and always said they would get married. Landon is a great friend who will always have their backs, so he is perfect to be their with them for the wedding. Landon is currently attending Florida State University a degree in marketing!!
Heidi Johnson
Bridesmaid
Heidi and Sally became close friends in 2020, and before long she was at the Tanner house so often it felt like she practically lived there. The three girls shared countless memories, from bus rides together to endless hangouts at home. Heidi was actually the first to find out about Sally and Andrew, and she has been a supportive and joyful part of their story from the very beginning. Even after graduating with Mary and heading off to school, Heidi always made coming home special—including surprising Sally in Germany for her high school graduation. Heidi has been by Sally’s side through every chapter, and it’s only fitting that she now stands by Sally and Andrew on their wedding day. Heidi is currently working and thriving in Charleston!
Jacob Cain
Groomsman
Jake has been with Sally and Andrew since day one—literally, the first day he hung out with them outside of school was the day they started dating. He was in their friend group throughout high school, over the course of Sally and Andrew's relationship. Over the years, he’s become a very close friend to both, so much so that people once asked Sally if Jake was her brother because they “gave the same vibe.” He has been nothing but supportive and a huge part of their lives. Jake played football and baseball with Andrew all through high school. They both decided to try out for cheer, joining Sally and many other close friends on the team. Fun, loyal, and full of memories, Jake has been an important part of their story. Today, he is proudly serving our country in the Army!

Noah is Sally's adorable nephew who will be making sure the rings stay safe throughout the ceremony! They could not have asked for a better little boy to do this important job!

Flower Girl
Riley is Sally's beautiful niece, whom they are honored to have as their flower girl! They are so excited to have the sweetest little girl on their special day!
Anna and Jessica
