Wedding Party

Macy Loechler

Maid of Honor

Macy involuntarily came into Sydney's life when their parents decided to expand the family (and another dog wasn't on the table). Macy and Sydney have had the traditional ups and downs of being sisters but have grown as close as two can get. The two were able to occasionally visit each other at college and Covid gave them another year to live together until Sydney moved to Milwaukee for grad school. Having enjoyed being under the same roof again, Macy moved to Milwaukee to live another two years with Sydney. Although the two no longer live together, Sydney still forces Macy to drive across town to spend their days off together.

Unfortunately, the two were on opposite sides an quickly grew to dislike for one another. It wasn't until they met again at in the 6th grade and got to learn that they're both deeply competitive.

Despite, the bruise and two year gap the boys became good friends in 6th grade and shortly after they were hanging out after school everyday whether that be at basketball practice or the McTernan's house.

After high school, Alyssa and Sydney both became busy and were able to keep close with Alyssa visiting Sydney in Morris and the two spending time together when both visiting home, but no matter how busy the two became, there was always this gravitational pull keeping them just as close as ever.

Wyatt Draper

Groomsman

If you asked Wyatt or Logan when they first met neither of them would have a clue but when they gave being friends with each other a shot, they clicked almost immediately. Once they became friends it was almost every other weekend that they were occupying the Draper's basement with the smell of Hillery's BBQ, "soda" fueled burps, and the smell of teenage boys that forgot to put on deodorant because they're too locked in on video games. The thing that keeps these two in lock step is spontaneity, whether it's starting their photography instagram, jumping into cenotes, or kayaking to Canada. The boys know how to have fun together.
