Wedding Party
Jill Sutherland
Maid of Honor
We met in college at Texas State University in our accounting classes. We started hanging out in our junior year of college and have grown very close over the past few years. We bonded over our love of reading, being homebodies, going to sleep early, and our struggles in accounting. I was a bridesmaid in her wedding in 2026, and now she is standing next to me in mine.
Courtney Belliotti
Bridesmaid
Courtney and I met at the Young Adults group at Vertical Chapel in Kyle, TX, while I was attending Texas State University. She went to college in California, but would come home for holidays. We clicked instantly, and it was like we had known each other forever. We are now long-distance besties, and I cannot wait for her to stand by my side in 2027.
Maddie McGee
Bridesmaid
When Maddie married my brother, Tanner, I gained my first sister. We have grown super close since they have been together, and I am proud to call her my sister. I was a bridesmaid in their wedding, and now she is one of mine! We bonded over our love of reading and talking about our fur babies (Clementine & Basil). She is building her photography skills and business. She travelled to Big Cedar Lodge to surprise me and take engagement pictures for us. She is such a giving and caring sister, and I'm so excited that she is part of our wedding party.
Kristi Brown
Bridesmaid
Newest Promotion: Sister I met Kristi over FaceTime when Seth was on his annual family vacation in Orlando, FL. We had only been dating for about a month, but she was so excited to meet the girl her brother was dating. She has such a fun personality and can make anyone laugh. She is truly a one-of-a-kind bridesmaid, and I'm so excited to have her as a bridesmaid.
Cody Liske
Best Man
Cody and I have been brothers since our freshman year of college. We were roommates all 4 years at the University of Indianapolis. We swam there for our 4 years while earning our Bachelor's. As soon as we started rooming together, we knew we would be brothers for life. Cody is one of the best guys I know, who would do almost anything for a brother in need. We have had a lot of adventures together, and now he will be standing beside me on one of the biggest days of our lives.
Joey Shine
Best Man
Joey and I have been brothers since high school. We swam together through club and high school swimming. Our families have been close, going on classic shinedel trips throughout the years. Joey has always been the kind of brother I can call on when needing to talk or just joke around. I am very excited for him to be one of my Best men.
Justin Herring
Groomsman
Justin is my cousin, but has always been like a brother. We spent a lot of time working together at Waste Connections in Houston. We also built a Beer Pong table together that was a summer-long beer project. Justin has an outgoing personality that is very fun to be around. I am very excited for him to be one of my groomsmen.
Tyler Mabry Mandel
Groomsman
Tyler is my older brother. We always have a lot of fun together, always making sure fishing and drinking are in the itinerary whenever we are together. There have been many memories floating around on Lake Conroe together on the family boat, or going shooting in the backwoods at the Lakehouse. I feel blessed and excited to have my brother be there, standing by my side on our wedding day.
Tanner McGee
Groomsman
Tanner is my fiancé's brother. Over the last few years of Makenna and I being together, Tanner and I have grown closer together. We have had many memories of doing trips, hunting, and drinking together. I am excited for him to become an official brother, and creating more memories alongside of our wedding.
Hayden Sutherland
Groomsman
Hayden and I became instant best friends when I met him through Makenna's Maid of honor, Jill. We have grown a Cigar and Whiskey bond over the years, and enjoy hanging out, drinking, and talking about all things aquariums. Hayden is a fun, outgoing person, and I am excited to have him standing up there for our wedding.
