Wedding Party
Caitlin Yardley
Matron of Honor
Caitlin is Tera’s freshman college roommate turned lifelong best friend! Over the past eight years, they’ve shared countless memories — from fun college adventures and lake weekends to long runs and even longer coffee chats. Now living in Kansas City together, Tera has loved getting to spend more time together, including helping each other plan their weddings. After Tera had the honor of being Caitlin’s Maid of Honor, it feels extra special to now have Caitlin standing beside her as Matron of Honor.
Wyatt Mast
Best Man
Wyatt is Kobe’s Best Man and one of his most reliable friends. When they lived in the same town, just about every weekend was spoken for — whether it was golfing, playing spikeball all summer, or just hanging out around the house watching sports. No matter the occasion, Wyatt always brings the party and makes everything more fun. Kobe is excited to be able to officially call Wyatt family and to keep the party rolling.
Winter Culp
Maid of Honor
Winter is Tera’s big sister and forever built-in best friend. The two grew even closer after college when Tera moved back home, and they got to live together for three special years — a season full of laughs, memories, and lots of sister time. Winter has always been someone Tera looks up to, and with her natural love for planning a party, she was absolutely made for this Maid of Honor job.
Bryce Bishop
Groomsman
Bryce is one of the more recent additions to Kobe’s group of close friends, but it didn’t take long for them to feel like they’d known each other for years. Through Bryce, Kobe has gotten to enjoy a lot more time out in the country — whether it’s sledding down snowy hills in the winter, jumping hay bales in the summer, or spending late nights riding around the farm with their friends. From their very first group hangout, Kobe knew Bryce was the kind of guy he could always count on when it mattered.
Destiny Thrailkill
Bridesmaid
Tera met Destiny junior year of college through mutual friends, and they instantly clicked. They lived together for two of the most fun years ever — full of laughter, late nights, our fur babies, and memories they’ll never forget. Now that Tera lives in KC too, she loves getting to see her more often and continuing the fun, especially during this extra special season as they’re both engaged and planning their weddings at the same time.
Drew Langto
Groomsman
Drew was one of Kobe’s closest friends during college. After meeting through Tera and Destiny, they ended up living together their senior year. This ended up in a lot of late nights playing video games, going back and forth with show recommendations, and constant banter at the gym. Between living together and being in the same friend group, Kobe was able to make Drew became one of those friends who made college even more memorable.
Natalie Hambrick
Bridesmaid
Natalie is Tera’s longest friend — they met in seventh grade. What started with school days and travel volleyball games turned into years of laughter, and countless adventures exploring new places together. Since high school, Natalie has been Tera’s ultimate travel buddy — from trips to New York and Philly, to Las Vegas, Cancun, and many adventures in Michigan. Tera can always count on Natalie to help build an unforgettable itinerary and make every trip one to remember. Natalie is basically family and Tera’s big day wouldn’t feel complete without her by her side.
Grant Yardley
Groomsman
Grant has always been the friend who’s down for just about anything sports related — whether it’s golf, basketball, pickleball, or whatever new game someone suggests. Kobe also had the honor of living with Grant not once, but twice while he was in Kansas City for school and work, which made their friendship even stronger. Between living together and all the games they’ve played over the years, Grant has been a constant friend who’s always up for a good time.
Taylor Hammack
Bridesmaid
Taylor is Tera’s high school best friend turned lifelong best friend. What began in those early years — living just down the road from each other and spending countless nights at Taylor’s house — has grown into a steady, meaningful friendship filled with laughter, a few beach trips, and so many fun memories along the way. Even during the years they were 8+ hours apart for college, whenever they were back together it felt like no time had passed at all — the kind of friendship that simply picks up right where it left off. Taylor is one of the most easy-going and genuine people Tera knows and having her standing beside her on this day feels so special.
Darrin Fletcher
Groomsman
Darrin is Kobe’s oldest nephew and has basically been his built-in buddy from day one. They grew up playing sports in the driveway, competing in video games, and giving each other a hard time whenever possible. Now that they’re older, those driveway games have turned into rounds of golf, but not much else has changed. Kobe loves being the “fun uncle,” and is looking forward to Darrin standing by his side.
Jason Henderson
Officiant
Jason has been one of Tera’s hometown friends for over 12 years and quickly became Kobe’s friend too — the two hit it off from the start. When Tera and Kobe were living in Arkansas, they always appreciated that Jason made it a point to spend time with them whenever he was in town. They’re so excited to have a friend marry them — it adds a personal touch to the day that makes it even more special. It’s something they know they’ll look back on and appreciate for years to come.
