Samantha & Taylor
Wedding Party
Kaileen Matheson
Matron of Honor
Samantha's original enemy #1 turned best friend. Kai has quite literally been there for all the highs and lows in Samantha's life and is one of her biggest cheerleaders. She was also the first to know that Taylor and Samantha would end up together. After Samantha told Kai they were "spending time together" back in 2022, Kai immediately started planning their Engagement party and Sam's Bachelorette. No one is more excited than Kai to add Tay to the family!
Zack Calderon

Zack is Taylor’s best friend and Best Man. Their bond began in the world of theater and quickly grew into a lifelong brotherhood. Over the years, they have shared every possible experience, including the laughter, the challenges, and the quiet moments of growth. Above all else, Zack has been a constant source of strength who always knows how to lift Taylor up. Taylor is honored to have such a dedicated friend by his side as his Best-Man.
Shan Shan

Shan Shan came to Samantha originally as an audition rival at Disney. But after they both got cast in both shows they were auditioning for, it seemed the Universe was pushing them together and the rest is history!
Eric Presnall
Groomsman
Taylor is happy to have his brother Eric by his side for this milestone. Throughout their lives, Eric has been the one to push Taylor beyond his comfort zone and encourage him to face new challenges. Through every adventure and life lesson, Eric taught Taylor how to embrace the unexpected and appreciate the beauty in a chaotic world. Taylor is grateful for the lessons his brother has given him on how to truly live life.
Kelcey Bells
Bridesmaid
Kelcey and Samantha immediately connected through Disney over their shared food allergies. In fact Kelcey's contact photo in Samantha's phone for several years was a picture of a loaf of gluten free bread that Kelcey wanted Samantha to try. They have been closer than ever ever since and will always have snacks to share.
Brian Farmer
Groomsman
While Brian was originally Eric’s friend, he and Taylor formed a deep and lasting connection of their own. Brian is the kind of person everyone hopes to have in their corner. He is there to celebrate the high points and offers unwavering support during the difficult times. Taylor is incredibly grateful to have Brian’s presence and friendship with him on this special day.

Jeff Presnall
Groomsman
As the oldest brother, Jeff was Taylor’s very first friend. He took care of Taylor from the beginning and has remained a guiding figure for over thirty years. From their shared love of wrestling and Friends to the simple joy of just being together and air guttering in the car, their bond has never wavered. Taylor deeply values the history they share and is proud to have his big brother standing with him.
Baylee
Bridesmaid
Baylee and Samantha's friendship very quickly went from coworkers to much more. Even after Baylee moved away, got married and welcomed her sweet baby boy into the world, she has remained such a steady and important part of Samantha's life. Samantha had the honor of standing beside Baylee on her big day and now can't image not having Baylee with her on her own day!
