Officiant
Doug is a lifelong friend of Steph's mom and has always been an uncle to her. Within the first year of them dating, he offered to marry Steph and Shane "one day". Long before either of them knew whether it was something they wanted, Doug knew.
Matron of Honor
Better known as Biffle, she has been best friends with the bride since 5th grade. They have gone through and outgrown most of their awkward phases together. She may very well hold the title of Bryce's #1 favorite human.
Bridesmaid
The catcher to Steph's pitcher, these two have been practically inseparable since high school softball practice and are still known to read each other's minds on occassion. For almost 20 years, she has been Steph's Person.
Bridesmaid
Tracey and Steph became fast friends in high school when Steph transferred into her homeroom when she started a new school. They can usually be found going out for tacos, shoe shopping together, or discovering all things Harry Potter.
Bridesmaid
Katelyn and Steph became neighbors in elementary school and love having their childhood homes still right down the street as it makes it easy for impromptu get togethers! They used to go long periods of time without seeing each other and were always able to pick right up where they left off without skipping a beat.
Bridesmaid
Rae is Shane's younger sister and is coming all the way from Nashville to join the festivities! She and Steph share a love of all things Harry Potter and a tolerance for Shane.
Bridesmaid
Lexi is Katelyn's oldest daughter and refers to Steph as "Aunt Stevie". She gladly accepted her role as Jr. Bridesmaid and said she would be AMAZING because she's been in so many weddings before. Spoiler alert: this is the first she will be attending!
Best Man
Josh and Shane have been friends for close to fifteen years, bonding over books, movies and food. Shane once borrowed Croupier and proceeded to forget to watch it for two solid years. It's a miracle Josh has agreed to accept this position.
Groomsman
LJ is one of Shane's longest friendships. There the night Shane's family house burnt down, LJ and his family effectively took Shane in. LJ and Shane would go on to be roommates for the better part of a decade. Somewhere in there LJ noticed Stephanie at a baseball game that Shane was coaching and alerted him that "the hot girl from Facebook was here" and little did he know he was meeting his third roommate.
Groomsman
Ian by many accounts is equally so, if not more of Shane's life partner than Stephanie. Whether it is grilling, catching movies and trying new restaurants or showing up to the gym at 6:19 AM for a 6:00 AM agreed start time, Ian and Shane have been rather inseparable for nearly a decade. Ian will also be standing in as the groom for all photos while Shane tries to fade out of attention for the evening.
Groomsman
Al and Shane essentially do everything together. For the last fifteen years the two have shared their love of baseball, food, music, dogs (he's arguably Bryceguy's favorite human) and sharing ER stories. Al and his wife Amy are two of Shane and Stephanie's favorite people in the world to spend time and Bryce really appreciates their friendship!
Groomsman
Andrew is Shane's older brother. Shane likes to tell people that Andrew is his taller, better looking older brother with significantly better hair and more talent. Typically the two share random phone calls where no pleasantries are exchanged, it's just a drop into the middle of a thought. Andrew trusts Shane and his taste in women so much that he willingly dropped off his offspring for Shane and Stephanie (a woman he had been dating for 5 minutes and Andrew had never met) to watch while they were in town. It went about as well as you would expect it to. Thank God the glass door did not break.
Flower Girl
Avery is Nicole's daughter and has really gotten the hang of putting together her Flower Girl puzzle from Aunt Steph and Uncle Shane. We are confident she will MASTER throwing those flowers but her dad Tim may be an honorary Flower Dude if she needs assistance.
Ring Bearer
Steph and Shane's pup Bryce will be the ring bearer (weather permitting). He can't wait to finally have his dad's last name! We predict he will get distracted down the aisle with all the humans wanting to pet him and insist on standing in between the bride and groom DURING the vows but he is always the star of the show and the ultimate Best Guy.
Ring Bearer
Dylan is Katelyn's youngest son (and child!) and Steph's Godson. He also refers to her as "Aunt Stevie" and can't wait to be the Ring Security for the wedding / Bryce's escort if all goes according to plan.
Something Blue Crew
Joe is Steph's younger (but much taller!) brother. They used to fight like cats and dogs but have gotten close over the last 10 years. Now they even voluntarily spend time together!
Something Blue Crew
Owen is Katelyn's oldest son and child, the original one to make Steph "Aunt Stevie". He is officially older now than Steph was when she and Katelyn became friends in elementary school and he was the FIRST baby Steph ever felt kick while Katelyn was pregnant with him. He is without a doubt her favorite Hensler.
Something Blue Crew
Sammie is Katelyn's youngest daughter. Though she is quiet, she lights up every room she enters and loves to let her personality shine! She will be rounding out our Something Blue Crew!
