Anna & Sterling
Our Wedding Party
Erin Stockmeyer
Maid of Honor
Erin and I roomed together our freshman year at Texas Tech, and then again every year until graduation. We even both graduated together with Bachelors of Interior Design, so it's safe to say more than half of my college life was spent with her. Erin is the most loyal, fun, and honest friend, and I know I can count on her for anything! She's been there for me through it all and has been an integral part of Sterling's and my relationship. I am beyond blessed to have her stand by my side as my Maid of Honor.
Ethan Torres
Best Man
Ethan, or ET as we all know him, has been in my life going on 20 years now. We went to the same elementary school and played inline/ice hockey together, and man it has been a ride! Because we always had common interests, there was never a time we weren't doing something together. Ethan has always been an honest and trustworthy friend; he is the glue that holds our friend group together. Over the years we've been on some mischievous adventures, and now looking back, those were some of the best times in my life. As we have grown older, Ethan and I remain just as close and I am grateful for his friendship.
Elizabeth Gump
Bridesmaid
Lizzy is the middle sister in our family and is mommy to our beautiful flower girl, Madeline. Separated by only 3 years, we butted heads a lot growing up. Now that we're older, we have grown so much closer. She oh so smart, kind, hard working, gives great advice, and is a shoulder to lean on. I look up to her in so many ways, so I am thankful to have her as a lifelong friend and dedicated bridesmaid!
Jon O’Hara
Groomsman
I met Jon because he was Kyle's roommate all throughout college and was also a Petroleum Engineering student in our graduating class at Texas Tech. Jon (through Erin, Anna's MOH and college roommate) is the reason I met Anna. During our years at Tech, we spent a lot of time together as "the girls" were always hanging out, so I got to know him really well. Jon is hands down the most easy-going dude I know, and I can talk to him about anything. He is honest, trustworthy, and I am lucky to have such a good friend in my life.
Abigail Gump
Bridesmaid
Abby is my youngest (but tallest) sister. She is kind, funny, sassy, and was blessed with all the good looks. Over the years, I have watched her grow into a gorgeous woman whom I admire and adore. I am grateful to have Abby not only as a lifelong friend, but as a supportive bridesmaid as well. And she is happy to be officially gaining a big brother!
Travis Kilpatrick
Groomsman
Travis, or TK, and I have been friends since we were about 10 years old. Over the years, I've played inline/ice hockey with TK and against TK (fun times either way!). Travis has always been the life of the party and can bring the wild side out in anyone. I may give Travis a tough time, but he will always be a brother to me. His loyalty, honesty, and sense of humor are what makes him such a great friend. We still play hockey together at least once a week and continue to get together when we can. I can't imagine life without his friendship!
Andi Naughton
Bridesmaid
For as long as I've known Andi, she has poured pure sunshine and joy into my life. We met at Texas Tech when she and Kyle began dating (they're now engaged!), just over 5 years ago. We share a mutual love of all things Christmas, cooking for "the boys", and fun, bubbly cocktails. Andi is one of the most kind, fun-loving, gorgeous souls, and I am blessed to have her as a friend and bridesmaid!
Kyle Kulka
Groomsman
I have known Kyle for many years. It's a small world within the Houston hockey family, so we were always bound to cross paths. Kyle and I played on a few hockey teams together in high school but really got to know each other at Texas Tech. During our college years, we both majored in Petroleum Engineering, pledged the same fraternity, and spent time together in our close friend group. Kyle is the most likable guy, is easy to talk to, and is always down for a good time. I am glad to have him as a friend and groomsman!
Jesse Shannon
Groomsman
It all started in Mr. Gandy’s fifth grade class...I can't believe it's been that long! Man did that guy hate us! Jesse and I have been friends for a while now. I remember always playing hockey together or DJ-ing new music at his house - the good days! We always had a good time together, and we still do even now. Jesse moved to Colorado at the beginning of high school, but we always stayed in touch. Over the years, we have remained good friends, and I am grateful that Jesse will stand by my side as my groomsman.
Colin McElwrath
Groomsman
Colin and I went to the same high school and played lots of inline and ice hockey together. During high school, Colin and I were part of a very close friend group that eventually fizzled out. When other friendships faded away, Colin was always there. We had some fun times, both on the ice and in his Lincoln Navigator, aka cruising in the "NAV" while Slim Thug played on repeat. Colin is a stand up guy and will be there for you in a heartbeat. I am grateful our friendship has lasted over the years and look forward to many more.
Madeline Gump
Flower Girl
Beanie is Anna's niece and adorable flower girl! She is the daughter of Lizzy and Steven, and is the family’s pride and joy. Madeline practices standing and cruising everyday and hopes to walk down the aisle all by herself in October. She is excited for a yummy meal and lots of cake, but most of all, to have “Ling Ling” as her favorite Uncle!
