We're getting married!
Wedding Party
Taylor Covington
Bride
A collector of novelty mugs that includes "World's Best Dog Mom", Taylor knew Brian Ross was The One after being stranded in the Boston airport for 6+ hours during New England's 100 year storm -- and they didn't kill each other! If they could make it through that, they could make it through anything! Other qualities Taylor admires about Brian Ross are his humor, his big heart, and his constant support!
Brian Kelling
Groom
An avid supporter of Taylor's growing collection of novelty mugs, Brian Ross loves going with Taylor to trivia nights where he is consistently amazed by her highly-specific knowledge of dead authors and Epic Rap Battle of History lyrics. Brian Ross is also proud of Taylor's qualities like her caring nature and reluctance to ever walk past a dog without petting it.
Samantha Schafer
Maid of Honor
The best friend of the bride for nearly a decade and despite constantly living in different cities or states, Samantha and Taylor are never far apart from each other's hearts. When they finally can reunite in person, no visit is complete without a trip to Half Priced Books and brunch at Kerby Lane. Samantha knows Taylor in ways better than she knows herself (or at last what she should wear) so there is no one else better prepared to be Taylor's Maid of Honor.
Alex Porter
Best Man
With photographic evidence of them in strollers side-by-side, it's easy to say these two have known each other forever. Their childhood bond has kept them together over the years and distances. The time apart has always remedied by a game of Jackbox or a round of poker when they can hang out in person -- evident in the choice to spend the bachelor party in New Orleans. Alex is clearly up to the challenge!
Katey Stover
Bridesmaid
Two dancing queens, Katey and Taylor are never far from wherever there's music and fun to be enjoyed. Katey is always ready with a good laugh and a good story -- or a stitch, because this accident-prone family lucked out when Katey became a nurse! As someone who can make Taylor laugh till she cries, she is very grateful to have Katey along for her big day!
Brice Kelling
Groomsman
Brother to the groom, Brice and Brian Ross share a love of tv shows, movies, and messing with their sister, Sam. Brian Ross is proud to have his brother by his side on the big day.
Kinley Redfern
Bridesmaid
The story of Kinley and Taylor is a wild one. Childhood best friends, they separated for a while after 2nd grade -- Kinley moving schools, then Taylor moving a year later. It wasn't until a very lucky happenstance at the premiere of the movie Deadpool (yes, the Ryan Renolds movie) that they happened to reconnect. Since then, it's been coffee dates and BBQ meet ups. A kind spirit and a lovely soul, Taylor is so happy to have such a close friend be there on her special day!
Dan Goodroad
Groomsman
A very close childhood friend, the trio of Alex, Dan, and Brian Ross grew up together in Karney, MO. To this day, Dan remains the one of the funniest people Brian Ross has ever met and he's excited to have Dan be one of his groomsmen.
Merrisa Calhoun
Bridesman
When things get too wild, you can find Merissa and Taylor outside on the porch smokin' a cigar and talkin' smack! Whether it's helping with putting on fake eyelashes, or getting to a location while breaking the laws of physics, Taylor couldn't have her big day without Merissa!
Jonathan Woo
Groomsman
There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and a love of sabermetrics is one of them. Jonathan and Brian met shortly after college and their friendship has expanded over nerdy videogames and the Texas Longhorns.
Sam Kelling
Bridesmaid
Sisters long before they were sister-in-laws, Sam and Taylor have been through it all together. Whether it was an explosive night at Werstfest or a chill day watching football and eating crawfish, Sam is always up for a good round of putput, a great game of Spikeball, or some questionable ugly sweater photos. Taylor feels extraordinarily lucky to have a sister-in-law like Sam!
Ryan Burge
Groomsman
Brother-in-law to the groom, Ryan rounds out the groomsmen with a smile and a can stuck to his head. Brian and his sister often comment on how they found two people remarkably similar: funny, a little nerdy, and always ready for a round of golf. Brian would also like for everyone to know that he benches just as much as Ryan and taught Ryan everything he knows about weight-lifting.
Gracie Calhoun
Junior Bridesmaid
In the short time Taylor has known her, Grace has turned into a beautiful young woman. Always with a smile and a giggle, Taylor cannot believe her luck in gaining such a lovely niece!
Abigail Stover
Flower Girl
A spunky spit-fire, Abigail is full of surprises and laughs. Taylor and Brian are very excited to have her as their flower girl.
