Meet our family and friends who are walking down the aisle with us.

Tiare Saylor

Maid of Honor

Where do I even begin? My sister has been my best friend since day one. From childhood adventures to college roommates, from wild nights out to quiet nights in — she's been by my side through it all. She’s seen every version of me, lifted me up in every tough moment, and celebrated every milestone with genuine, unwavering love. Her loyalty, laughter, and heart have shaped so much of who I am. Having her as my Maid of Honor isn't just a given — it's an honor for me. I can't imagine this day (or life) without her.


Christian DeLaughter

Best Man

My brother from another mother, Mr. Christian DeLaughter. We first met in 2011 at TCU, but our bond was solidified when he became my Big Brother in our fraternity. We even lived next door to each other right on campus in a tri-plex that my parents owned. It was during those years that our friendship evolved into a brotherhood and he’s been like a second son to my parents. Christian has always been there by my side through thick and thin. I couldn't be more honored to have him standing beside me as my best man.

April Santiago

Bridesmaid

We’ve been besties since high school—10 years of friendship, memories, and growing up together. She’s my one and only friend from those days, and having her as a bridesmaid means the world to me. Through every season of life, she’s been by my side with loyalty, laughter, and love. Having her as my bridesmaid will make this day even more wonderful.


Blaise Jurisich

Groomsman

Blaise and I met at TCU as well and he was also one of my fraternity brothers. We quickly became close friends, connecting over our shared love for New Orleans, despite my Texas roots. Fast forward a few years out of college, I moved to New Orleans for a couple of years, and Blaise, along with his wife Lyndsey, made me feel completely at home. He became a brother to me, and his parents embraced me as one of their own. From watching the New Orleans Saints together to simply being a constant source of support, Blaise is one of my closest friends, and I am so proud to have him next to me for Bri and I’s special day.

Sarah Corless

Bridesmaid

Sarah and I met in New Orleans during CRNA school, and we instantly connected. What began as studying side by side quickly turned into a beautiful and lasting friendship. We’ve supported each other through the ups and downs of a tough program and built a bond I’ll always treasure. I’m so thankful Sarah will be sharing this day with Mike and I.


Zach Davies

Groomsman

My friendship with Zach began at TCU, where we quickly became close friends through our fraternity. Blaise, Christian, Zach, and I were always together and have countless memories, from football tailgates to impromptu games of flip cup at the house. Zach has always had my back, and I've been so proud to watch him build his life with his beautiful wife, Sarah, and now as they prepare to become parents. He’s more than a friend; he’s a brother and a true part of my family. I’m honored to have him as a groomsman.

Nicole Buchmann

Bridesmaid

Nicole and I may have met just a couple of years ago, but it feels like we’ve been friends forever. She’s the kind of person who instantly makes you feel at home—funny, kind-hearted, and always there when you need her. Our friendship grew quickly and deeply, and I’m so grateful to have her standing by my side on such a special day.


Jerrod Fowler

Groomsman

I met Jerrod a few years after college when we started a band together. Our shared passion for music and cinema quickly solidified our friendship, leading to countless hours spent together—from band practice and podcasting to simply hanging out. I've loved watching him grow his relationship with his now-fiancé, Nicole, who has also become a dear friend to us. I'm honored to have the only person I call "Jerry" standing beside me on this special day.

Danielle Kendrick

Bridesmaid

I met Elle during CRNA school when I was four hours away from home, feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. She opened her heart—and her home—to me, and from that moment, our bond grew into something truly special. We supported each other through one of the most challenging times of our lives, and even now, living 12 hours apart, our friendship has only deepened. Elle is loyal, compassionate, and always up for a good laugh—I am so grateful to have your support on this momentous day.


Colton Clanton

Groomsman

My friendship with Colton has been a constant source of support and laughter. We’ve made countless memories together, from late nights out in the Fort Worth Stockyards to hanging out on his ranch in Midlothian. Colton has always been by my side through thick and thin, and his family has always treated me like one of their own. I've been so proud to watch him build a beautiful life with his wife, Brittney, and become a wonderful father. He is one of my dearest friends, and I am honored to have him as a groomsman.

Roslyn Day

Bridesmaid

Roslyn and I met while working as nurses at Cincinnati Children’s, and what started as a work friendship quickly became so much more. We’ve been through tough times together, supporting each other through the highs and lows—but some of our best memories were made outside the hospital, laughing and stumbling until it hurt. She’s loyal, fun, and truly one of a kind, and I’m so lucky to have her by my side.


Matt Pappas

Groomsman

I met Matt years ago through my best man, Christian, and we quickly became close friends. Matt grew up with Christian in New Jersey, but it felt like we had been friends forever. When Bri and I moved to Denver for a short time, Matt was there to make us feel so welcome and at home. From our hazy nights in Austin to his warmth in Denver, Matt has always been a true friend. I'm honored to have him stand with me as a groomsman.

Katie Boothe

Bridesmaid

Katie isn’t just becoming my sister-in-law—she’s also become a wonderful friend. From the start, she welcomed me into the family with warmth, kindness, and a great sense of humor. I’m so excited to officially call her family and even more delighted to have her as a bridesmaid.


Kolbe Saylor

Groomsman

From the moment I met Bri's family, her brother Kolbe treated me like I was already a part of it. Whether we were playing board games at his place or just hanging out, he has always welcomed me with open arms. I've also loved getting to know him and his girlfriend, Maddie, as we've all grown closer. Kolbe has a truly kind soul, and I couldn't be happier to have my future brother-in-law standing with me on this special day.

Chris Sears

Usher

Chris Sears has been one of my closest friends since we met in high school. We've stayed in touch and have been through a lot together, even living as roommates for a couple of years in Mansfield, TX. He has a heart of gold and has always been there for me during some of my toughest times, offering unwavering support and always knowing how to lift my spirits. I’m incredibly grateful for our long-lasting friendship and am honored to have him as an usher on my wedding day.


Jordan Lavigne

Usher

I met Jordan when I lived in New Orleans and we worked together at Fluor Federal Petroleum Operations. We bonded quickly over our shared passion for the New Orleans Saints, creating great memories cheering on our team and experiencing the fun of Mardi Gras together. I’m especially grateful that he was there to see the beginning of my relationship with Bri. Jordan is a great friend, and I am honored to have him as an usher.

Michael Saylor

Father of the Bride

My dad has been one of the most influential people in my life. His unwavering work ethic, strength, and tenacity have shaped who I am and inspired me to chase my dreams with determination. He’s been my biggest supporter, my steady rock, and the person I’ve always looked up to. I couldn’t imagine anyone else walking me down the aisle—it’s an honor to share this moment with the man who helped make me who I am.


Edward Featherston

Father of the Groom

Ed, or as I love to call him “Big Guy”, is the man who raised me and the father who has guided me through life. Though I may have been a pain at times, he never wavered in his commitment to me, always there to guide me in the right direction and show me how to stand in the sun. He taught me to pray and helped me grow into the man I am today. From taking me on my first hunting trip to celebrating with me when I got into college, Ed has always been by my side. His unwavering support and love mean the world to me, and I’m honored to call him my father.

Leanne Saylor

Mother of the Bride

I am so incredibly lucky to have been raised by such an amazing woman. My mom has been by my side through every high and low, offering unwavering love, support, and wisdom. We’ve always shared a special bond—one built on trust, laughter, and endless love. She’s my role model, my confidant, and my best friend, and I’m beyond grateful to have her with me on one of the most important days of my life.


Elizabeth Featherston

Mother of the Groom

My mom has been my absolute rock and my greatest blessing. From my lowest moments to my peak happiness, she has been my unwavering champion, supporting every dream and helping me navigate life's most difficult seasons. After losing my biological father when I was six, her arms were my safe harbor, always there to hold me and reassure me that everything would be okay. Her faith has been the foundation of my own, and I cherish the daily devotionals she sends, reminding me of God's love and her constant prayers. She is the most special person in my life, and I honestly don't know where I would be without her. She is the reason for so many of my triumphs, and I am eternally grateful for her unending love and guidance.
