Shana & Taylor
Wedding Party
Katelynn Willeford
Maid of Honor
Katelynn is Shana's cousin. Katelynn and Shana have been best friends since childhood and in high school, they toured Europe together with their grandparents. Shana has no sisters and has always considered Katelynn as a sister. Katelynn is now working as a social worker in Lubbock, Texas.
Kylee Van Loh
Maid of Honor
Kylee is Taylor's younger sister. Together, from the start, Kylee and Taylor have had a close bond that is so unique that others have a hard time following their antics. Kylee has great taste in music and if you need any nutritional advice she may or may not be able to help you.
Meghan Moran
CO - MOH
Shana and Meghan met in a group for women working in sports. Meghan and Shana are both really talented photographers working for the Minor League Baseball organization and they also co-host a podcast together called The Random Weekly where they talk about anything and everything... sometimes for way too long. Meghan lives near San Francisco, California with her son.
Alicia Green
Matron of Honor
Alicia and Taylor's friendship goes all the way back to third grade. Numerous softball teams were shared along with countless sleepovers. The two can quote nearly all of Harry Potter Puppet Pals and it's safe to say that Taylor has never beat Alicia in anything video game related. Alicia lives in Weatherford, Texas with her husband and son.
Julia Asher
Bridesmaid of awesomeness
Julia and Shana met at Texas State their freshman year of college when they lived in the same dorm (oOoOoh, Scary Sterry) and somehow ended up in all of their psychology classes together. They have made many a crazy video together while driving around San Marcos in Julia's little truck and blasting tons of hip-hop music. They have had many late nights studying in courtyards watching families of raccoons go by (and one out-of-place unicyclist) followed by many early mornings drinking coffee and eating bagels from Einstein's! Shana was actually the photographer at Julia's wedding in the summer! Julia lives in San Antonio with her husband, step son, and newborn baby!
Elyssa Smith
Bridesmaid of awesomeness
Elyssa and Taylor met in their first year at UNT. Before school started they both auditioned and made the Green Brigade marching band. Elyssa and Taylor also shared the same clarinet teacher and regularly supported each other through the weekly studio classes. In addition to being in the same studio, Elyssa and Taylor are also sisters of the Sigma Alpha Iota service fraternity. While each has a busy schedule during the semester, they always try to make time for weekly trips to Waffle House or Starbucks!
Lori Willeford
Shana's mom (mother of the bride)
Shana has always had a special bond with her mom. The two have laughed endlessly together, shared secrets with one another, and spent plenty of Shana's father's money getting pedicures together. Shana has always admired her mother's giving spirit and has made it a point to strive to be as giving as she is. Most recently, Shana and Lori have traveled to and from San Diego, California twice in the timespan of two months. Lori lives in Beeville, Texas with Shana's father.
Tonya Van Loh
Taylor's mom (mother of the bride)
Taylor and her mom have always had a great relationship. Tonya is a Pre-K teacher in Weatherford and is a big inspiration for Taylor's decision to one day go into education. Tonya is one of the sweetest, most funny people that you will ever meet (Taylor had to get it from somewhere ;)). From a young age, Taylor has been told that she is just like her mom, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
Jeffrey Willeford
Shana's Dad (father of the bride)
Some have said Shana is a bit of a daddy's girl from day one. She has always admired her dad's work ethic, continuous strive for learning new things, and dedication to any task set before him. She sees her dad as someone who has been a foundational stone in her family, has taught her how to be a good person in life, and has tirelessly cared for the people around him. If you're ever bored, just ask him to tell you a joke. You will laugh until you cry. He lives in Beeville, Texas with Shana's mother.
Cary Van Loh
Taylor's Dad (father of the bride)
Taylor's dad has been her number one fan from day one. Cary has coached many of Taylor's soccer teams and taught her what it means to be a team player. Taylor and her dad love to watch OU football together with the rest of the family. Recently Cary has started his own pizza business and spends most weekends working. Taylor admires her dads' hard work and kind heart.
Kristopher Willeford
Officiant
Kristopher (Kris) is Shana's older brother. They have always had a special bond over sports where the two talk about many issues, stats, and happenings. When they get together, they can be major goofballs. The two have even created pretty embarrassing YouTube videos together and began what they like to call "Sibling Wars". When Shana tried to think of someone to marry her and Taylor, she thought it would only be perfect to have her brother get ordained and join the two in marriage. Kris lives in Beeville, Texas and has two sons where he also serves as a fire fighter in the community.
Jayden & Jeremiah Willeford
Ring Bearer
Jayden is Shana's oldest nephew and has been her "best bud" since the day he was born. Shana and Jayden have had a special bond that has strengthened as Jayden has grown. Jayden plays soccer like his aunt Shana, has played basketball, loves the Seahawks, and makes YouTube videos. Jeremiah and Shana share an extremely special thing: THEY HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY! Shana has loved watching Jeremiah grow into his personality, giggle, play, and learn things as he grows. Taylor looks forward to having Jayden and Jeremiah as nephews.
