Maid of Honor
Kyle and Taylor first met Victoria in Block Island in 2014 and realized shortly after they had found a gem of a friend. Victoria is the kind of person who knows what she wants and won't settle for anything less- whether it's climbing a mountain or ordering a latte, she'll make sure it's done her way. Despite all the sass, Victoria is truly one of the best humans. She's loyal, kind-hearted, and always willing to go out of her way to lend a helping hand. Taylor turns to Victoria for SO much, and there isn’t a day that goes by when they aren’t in constant conversation. She wouldn't want (or know how) to navigate life without her!
Best Man
AKA "Craig down hall". It all started with a simple mistake at the Dodge dealership in 2013. Kyle was on the hunt for a new Cummins, and in a stroke of bad luck, he mistook his sales guy's name for Craig. But as luck would have it, their sales manager's name was also Craig, and he ended up sealing the deal with Kyle. And if that wasn't enough, he also ended up becoming Kyle's new roommate. Talk about a sales pitch.
Bridesmaid
Alyssa and Taylor have been close since the days of lockable text messages and Myspace bulletin surveys. Throughout the years, Alyssa has always been there for Taylor through life’s ups and downs. She's the kind of friend who will always have your back, even when you're being ridiculous. And let's be real, Taylor can be pretty ridiculous sometimes. But that's not all that makes her so special - it's also her crazy family. They're loud, they're loving, they're always having a good time, and Kyle & Taylor have basically become honorary members at this point. Alyssa and the Apelquist's have brought so much joy and laughter into Taylor & Kyle’s lives, and they can't imagine where they'd be without them (plus, they provide some great material for inside jokes and embarrassing childhood stories).
Groomsman
Steve and Kyle’s friendship goes way back, like way, way back to the time when dinosaurs roamed the earth (well, maybe not that far back, but you get the point). They were practically brothers, doing everything together, from playing video games to terrorizing the neighborhood on their dirt bikes and ATVs. They even had matching conure parrots, which they probably thought made them look cool, but lets be honest, nothing says "I'm a tough guy" like a brightly-colored bird on your shoulder. Their dads were also great friends, and often spent hours hanging out in the garage while Kyle and Steve dreamed of growing up to be just like them. In fact, they even started driving their dads’ cars around the yard, much to their dads’ amusement. As they got older, Steve and Kyle’s friendship only grew stronger.
Bridesmaid
Becca & Taylor first met working at S&S together back in 2011; they shared a desk, but worked opposite shifts- so they'd leave each other notes & crafts every day, before they ever met. It was like a pen pal relationship, but with a lot more glitter and googly eyes. Thankfully, their friendship outlasted both of their jobs there. Bec made her first trip with the Block Island fam back in 2016 and has been calling work on a Wednesday to extend her vacation every year since
Groomsman
Rob and Kyle first met on the soccer field, where they were both vying for the title of "best soccer player around" Spoiler alert: it was Kyle (just kidding, Rob). They realized they had a mutual friend, and slowly become closer. By high school, Rob and Kyle were like two peas in a pod (if those peas were constantly doing dangerous and crazy things). Rob has always been one to push limits, whether it’s trying to jump over a fire pit or seeing how many hot dogs he can eat in one sitting. He's like a real-life superhero, but instead of saving the world, he just makes it a little more interesting. And the best part? He's always in a good mood. Seriously, if you catch Rob on a bad day, it's like seeing a unicorn. But with less magic and more complaining.
Bridesmaid
Kyle and Taylor only met Meg a year ago, but it feels like she's been a part of their lives for much longer. In fact, the first day they met Meg was the day Kyle proposed to Taylor, and Meg was in on the whole plan before even meeting them! Whenever anyone needs a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on, Meg is always there. And when we say "whenever," we mean it - you can call at 3am because you stubbed your toe and she'll be there with a listening ear and a bag of ice. Meg makes everyone feel welcome and valued, and will fill you up with both love and amazing food. Her cooking is so good that it's basically the eighth wonder of the world - seriously, Meg, can we come over for dinner every night?
Groomsman
Oh, Cory. The brotherman, the myth, the legend. Nobody knows quite how he appeared in Kyle and Taylor's lives, but he's been a fixture ever since. Especially when it comes to those impromptu 8:30pm weeknight phone calls for a "quick" garage beer. But let's be real, no one can resist a Cory day. So here's to you, Cory, the ultimate brotherman. We can't wait to celebrate with you at the wedding (just don't be too late, okay?)!
Bridesmaid
Koeun is the queen of all things trendy and the master of advice-giving. But beyond her trendy exterior lies a heart of gold. Her and Taylor met years ago, but it wasn't until recently they began growing closer. Koeun has been a bright light, offering her unwavering support during all of life's ups and downs (and let's face it, there have been plenty of downs lately). No matter what life throws, both Taylor & Kyle know they can always count on her- she’s truly a special friend for life and they will always be grateful to have her by their side.
Bridesmaid
Meet Rachel, the sunshine in human form, and the life of the party. Taylor and Kyle first met her in Block 2014 and have continued the same tradition for years. Rachel is the happiest person you'll ever meet, and her contagious laughter and bright smile can light up any room. She's always up for a good time and never fails to make everyone around her feel included and happy. Taylor and Kyle both feel beyond lucky to have her in their lives.
Groomsman
Adam, the man with the boat and the sense of humor that could make a rock laugh. He's another friend Taylor and Kyle first met back in Block 2014 and has been making them laugh ever since. Whether he's cracking jokes or cruising on his boat, he always knows how to keep the good times going (and the same song on repeat for days). His love for his boat is only surpassed by his love for Kimba. Taylor and Kyle are grateful to have Adam as a friend, as he always brings a smile to their faces and a sense of adventure to their lives.
Officiants
Austin and Alex are Taylor's identical twin brothers - these two are so identical, over the years they’ve made it hard for their own family members to tell them apart. But don't worry, we've got a foolproof system in place to keep track of them - we just put Alex in red and Austin in blue. And it's ok if you accidentally call Austin by Alex's name, - they'll still respond without even batting an eye.
Ring Bearer
Bryson, Kyle's nephew, has lightning-fast reflexes and ninja moves, which makes him the perfect candidate for protecting the rings with his life. When he's not busy being a ninja, you can find Bryson racing his dirt bike, tearing up the track like a pro, or catching fish and frogs by the river. With his boundless energy and adventurous spirit, there's never a dull moment when Bryson is around!!
