Samantha & Brennan
Wedding Party
Juliet Miller
Maid of Honor
Juliet is quite frankly still in shock that Sam bestowed upon her the role of Maid of Honor. Almost to the day, a year ago Sam and Juliet first met at the arrivals gate of Denver International Airport. Sam was holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers and Juliet knew immediately that they would get along. Their uber driver, Brennan, was only slightly surprised at how naturally (and rapidly) the conversation flowed. Juliet lives in Brooklyn and is always happy to discuss movies with anyone. She enjoys reading (and trying to write) screenplays in her free time, so the request to write bridesmaids bios was a welcome change of pace. She has wanted a sister her whole life and could not be happier that their big day is almost here.
Bridger Day
Best Man
Bridger is Samantha’s younger brother, as well as one of Brennan’s friends and lifting partners. Growing up, Bridger spent much of his time losing arm wrestling matches to Sam and watching her favorite shows and movies. While he still can’t beat her in arm wrestling, he is incredibly grateful to have such a loving sister and is proud of the person she has become. Bridger met Brennan through church, and the two quickly became friends through their shared hobbies. They can often be found playing Titanfall 2, skipping leg day, and absolutely demolishing family meals at the Day house. Bridger feels blessed to have been part of their journey so far and can’t wait to see what God has planned for them in the future.
Ben Tkach
Groomsman
Ben has been Brennan’s friend since middle school when they got to know each other over a game called Minecraft. Since then they have been friends and bonded over many shared interests including cars, music, weight lifting, and their similar world views. Though they live in separate states their bond has never faltered and Ben is excited to see his friend get married.
Daisy Gutierrez
Bridesmaid
Daisy is delighted to be next to Sam on her big day! The two of them first met at a group for commuters during their freshman year at Colorado Christian University, bonding over their annoyance at rush hour traffic and wishing to live closer. In her free time, Daisy enjoys hiking, Bad Bunny, trying new foods, and a good thrift find. One of her fondest memories with Sam is attending the winter formal dance at the aquarium. She has yet to forgive Sam for forgetting the PF Chang leftovers, but for a wedding gift, dear reader…she just might.
Chris Raley
Groomsman
Chris met Brennan at work, but their brotherhood was built in the gym. Somehow, Brennan got Chris to drive halfway across town to go to the best gym ever. This is where they would spend long nights after work. All that time in the gym, and they still seemed to skip cardio! Even crazier, Brennan persuaded Chris to enter a bodybuilding competition with him. As for the results, they were not the judges favorite, but they crushed it together. Brennan’s drive and his craving for egg whites made them the best of bros!
Emma Mayer
Bridesmaid
Emma and Sam met through their communications class at CCU. She knew instantly that Sam was hilarious and joyful, but their group project about memes really sealed the deal. She is a grad student studying Literature in Virginia. She loves a good bookcation and vampire-themed party, both included in fond memories with Sam. The two have a unique and beautiful way (book club) of lifting each other’s spirits. “Sam is the biggest blessing and the most caring friend I have ever had. I'm so grateful to stand by her side on her momentous day.”
Jack Day
Groomsman
Jack is Samantha's oldest brother and is honored to be a member of the bridal party. They shared almost every day together being homeschooled and there is very little that was experienced or learned that was not shared. Almost nothing in his early years doesn't include a memory of her or her being there as his closest friend. He was blessed to watch her grow from a small child to a young woman and wishes Samantha and Brennan the best in their marriage.
Precious Moua
Bridesmaid
On a grueling summer day, Sam struck up a conversation with Precious amidst their free manual labor. Precious was initially hesitant as Sam seemed entirely too cheerful and talkative for anyone in their right mind on such a hot day, but ultimately realized that’s just the kind of person Sam is. One of her favorite memories with Sam includes their trip to Hawaii; they have yet to find better tap water, but continue the search. In her free time, Precious enjoys baking cookies so good that they may or may not have caused fights in the Day household. Sam is the “sweetest and realest” girl she knows, and she is thrilled to celebrate this occasion at her side.
Skyler Perryman
Groomsman
Skyler and Brennan both attended Covenant, a K–12 school, though their connection actually started even earlier. Brennan’s family was the “buddy family” to Skyler’s when they first joined, back when Skyler was barely conscious as a human. One summer day, Brennan, with his mom’s permission, skipped computer typing class, and the two of them spent the time playing Minecraft. From that point on, their friendship took off. Over the years, they bonded over cars, Formula 1, and just about anything with an engine. The first time they sawed off MJ’s exhaust, you would have thought they had discovered a chest with a million dollars. Skyler has always believed Brennan could reach the moon if he wanted to, and from his perspective, it looks like he has with Sam. Skyler is incredibly excited for these two and cannot wait to see what is ahead for them.
Maria Carpio
Bridesmaid
Maria and Sam got to know each other while at CCU, specifically through the high stakes of obstacle courses and ziplining. The two have a passion for scream-singing in the car and for quintessential 2010s pop culture such as Twilight and The Hunger Games. Maria has a master’s degree in Modern Human Anatomy and is currently applying to PA school. She had often prayed for friends that felt more like sisters, and “God definitely delivered with Sam.”
Kacie Long
Bridesmaid
Kacie is still grieving the loss of a wonderful roommate, but has conceded that marriage is an acceptable reason for Sam to move out. Having the same major, the two bonded over many shared classes in college. She remembers forcing Sam to chat, but what she doesn’t know is that Sam was equally eager to meet new people and has cherished every moment with her since. The two have a shared love of Raising Cane’s and hosting their church’s small group. Kacie loves to craft, with her current preferred mediums being paper and fiber crafts. She wishes Sam so much love on the upcoming day.
Liam Thomas
Groomsman
Liam is excited to be there for Brennan on his big day! They first became friends in middle school by hanging out in complete silence for hours. One of them would interrupt the silence with a sports car fact, and then it would continue. It wasn’t awkward; they just didn’t know how to socialize. Over the years, their friendship grew from a shared love of Minecraft and sports cars into a deeper appreciation for each other‘s character and desire to know the Lord. Liam knows that Brennan and Sam will have a great marriage and can’t wait to see what God has planned for them.
Maddie Burns
Bridesmaid
Maddie is, like Kacie, also grieving the loss of a wonderful roommate. Sam and Maddie met through school but truly bonded over their shared love of books and the show LOST. Maddie started her own wedding videography business; she is sadly unable to work this wedding as she will be preoccupied. Later this year, Sam and Brennan will fly to France to attend her wedding! She is an advocate for walking outside at least once a day, cats, and Moka Pot coffee. It has been, and will continue to be, “one of the joys of her life to be Sam’s friend.”
Mason List
Groomsman
What started as coworkers at Porsche turned into a genuine friendship through faith. I’m grateful Brennan brought me into his life, and I’m honored to stand by him and Sam today. What they may not know is how much they’ve influenced me. Watching their relationship has shown me what love, commitment, and faith really look like. Brennan’s friendship has changed my life in ways I’ll always be grateful for, and it’s truly meaningful to stand beside him on his biggest day.
