McKenna & Sam
Our People
Lindsay
Maid of Honor
McKenna met Lindsay about 26 years ago when she dethroned Lindsay from being an only child. Lindsay and Kenna didn’t always get along when they were younger, but once Lindsay was able to drive, Kenna became Lindsay’s unwanted sidekick! Little did they know, these car trips would become their sisterly bonding time. They’ve been thick as thieves ever since and their favorite pastime is impromptu coffee runs and shopping trips.
Caroline
Best Woman
Sam met Caroline way, way back in Kindergarten, and they've been friends ever since. From starring in the lead roles in their elementary school Christmas play to commiserating about their medical school and graduate school experiences, they've been through it all, sharing a love of food (especially cheese), travel, and a third thing I can't think of right now. Caroline is an extraordinarily cool, fun-loving person, and the best damn Emergency Medicine resident Sam and Kenna know!
Rachel
Bridesmaid
Rachel is Sam's big Sister! When they're not cringing from horror due to a joke that Brent or Sam has made, Rachel and Kenna enjoy sharing their love of their cats and cats in general! They also share joy in watching bad (and sometimes good) TV shows, enjoying good food, and hanging around family.
Brent
Groomsman
When Sam first met Brent after he started dating Sam's sister, Rachel, they hit it off immediately, much to Rachel's chagrin. Endlessly kind, whip-smart, and with a rapier wit, Brent is always good to lend a helping hand or crack a solid joke. You can almost always find them joking around and teasing Rachel.
Sarah
Bridesmaid
McKenna and Sarah met in high school! They met through mutual band friends and Sam. Over the course of high school, they bonded over Irish music nights, good friends, and weekend breakfasts at a local coffee shop! Sarah briefly moved to Fayetteville, then El Dorado, and finally moved to Little Rock. Now that she’s back in town, she, Sam, and Kenna enjoy spending time with friends during their weekly game night session.
Brandon
Groomsman
Brandon and Sam met a year and a half ago through Brandon's soon-to-be (depending on when you're reading this) wife, Sarah. Bonding through a shared inappropriate and awkward sense of humor and a love of board games, they became fast friends. Whenever they're around, you can be sure that Sarah and McKenna's heads will be in their hands, and board games will be nearby.
Rita
Bridesmaid
Rita is McKenna's big cousin! Rita and Lindsay were the dream-team when they were all younger, but that didn't stop McKenna from trying to tag along and join the fun (usually didn't work)! Now that they're older, Kenna enjoys introducing Rita and Dori to new restaurants and discussing new movies.
Dori
Bridesmaid
Dori and McKenna are cousins! Dori is a fun-loving lady with a passion for travel. Both Kenna and Dori love to read and enjoy discussing their recent reads. When they're not discussing books or cool new restaurants they've tried, Dori and Kenna enjoy poking fun at Rita's picky palate!
Branson
Groomsman
Sam met Branson all the way back in elementary school, where they discovered they shared the same birthday. The two have an almost creepy similarity when it comes to their interests and sense of humor. Sam and Branson love to cook, and they absolutely love referencing My Brother, My Brother, and Me.
Marvin
Groomsman
Sam and Marvin met about a year ago through Sarah and Brandon at a board game night. Marvin is an easy-going, imaginative, and incredibly fun friend, so it's no surprise they hit it off as quickly as they did. If they aren't talking about the latest episode of Brooklyn 99 or their favorite podcast, Sam and Marvin are knee deep in a game.
