🎉 We’re Getting Married! Join us in celebrating the beginning of forever — Mackenzie & Ben October 17, 2026 • The Barns at Willow Creek, Browns Valley, CA 💍

Mackenzie & Ben

Wedding Party

We feel so lucky to be surrounded by the most amazing group of friends and family as we say “I do.” Each one of these people has played a special role in our lives and in our story — from childhood adventures to late-night heart-to-hearts, spontaneous road trips, and endless laughter. These are the VIPs who will be standing by our side on the big day. We love them, we trust them… and we definitely couldn’t do this without them!

Geordon Williford

Best Man

Geordon has been Ben’s best friend since school — and somehow, Ben still likes him. Between questionable decisions and legendary trips to the cabin, these two have built a friendship based on laughs, loyalty, and mild chaos. If there’s a story that ends with “you had to be there,” Geordon probably was.


Stephanie Thiessen

Maid of Honor

Stephanie has been in my life since day one — my go-to girl for everything. From spontaneous nights out to unforgettable memories, we’re always attached at the hip. She’s loyal, hilarious, and brings the fun wherever we go. If I’m out, she’s definitely with me!

Josiah aka Jojo Pannell

Groomsman

Jojo is one of Ben’s closest friends and a core part of the crew. He’s known for his big personality, sharp wit, and the legendary story of the time all the boys accidentally left him outside (don’t worry, he survived). Whether it’s laughs or loyalty, Jojo always shows up — eventually.


Savanna Maxey

Maid of Honor

Savanna and I met at work — yep, the same place I met Ben — so she’s basically been part of the love story from day one. Our Stoney’s trips are legendary, and if there’s dancing or shots involved, Savanna’s already there. She’s fun, fearless, and always down for a good time. Couldn’t do this without her!

Jackson Lyall

Groomsman

Jackson and Ben go way back — so far back that Ben “temporarily relocated” to Jackson’s couch for a while. He’s the kind of friend who’s always there when you need him, no questions asked. Loyal, easygoing, and forever part of the inner circle.


Vanesa Herrera

Bridesmaid

Vanesa started off as my mom’s friend… but plot twist — now she’s one of mine! After working together, we clicked instantly and became best friends. She’s hilarious, loyal, and always down for a good time. Definitely one of the best surprises life threw my way!

Austin Campbell

Groomsman

Austin is the bride’s nephew and a solid part of the crew. Whether he’s cracking jokes, showing up when it counts, or keeping everyone on their toes, he brings a laid-back energy that balances out the chaos (most of the time). Family by blood, friend by choice — we’re lucky to have him standing with us.


Valerie Carrillo

Bridesmaid

Valerie and I have only been friends for about a year and a half, but it feels like we’ve known each other forever. She’s always there when I need to vent, laugh, or just talk about absolutely nothing. She might run on her own time, but that’s part of her charm — and I wouldn’t change a thing!

Sean Bailey

Groomsman

an brings a vibe all his own — laid-back, hilarious, and famously the most Gumby guy in the group (trust us, just ask). He’s always down for a good time and somehow ends up in the most ridiculous stories. Every crew needs someone like Sean… but luckily, we’ve got the original.


Jentri Kane

Bridesmaid

Jentri is my younger cousin and one of the funniest people I know. Over the years, we’ve grown super close, and now she feels more like a sister than a cousin. She’s full of sass, heart, and good vibes — and I’m so lucky to have her by my side!

Deanna McCauley

Flower Girl

Deanna is our firecracker who fully believes she’s running this entire wedding (and honestly… she might be). She’s the life of the party, full of sass, sparkle, and big opinions. Whether she’s dancing, posing, or giving orders, Deanna is guaranteed to steal the spotlight — and our hearts!


Lily McCauley

Flower Girl

Lily has already completed our family in the most perfect way. She’s our tiniest blessing with the biggest heart-melting smile. While she may not remember the big day, we’ll never forget having her there — snuggled up, stealing kisses, and reminding us what love truly looks like.

Gina Eversley

Officiant

Also known to everyone as Auntie Gina, she’s the heart, the humor, and — let’s be honest — the reason the bride turned out to be a spoiled brat baby (her words, not ours). She’s been there for every moment, big and small, and now she’s taking on her most important role yet: marrying us! If anyone’s earned the spotlight, it’s Auntie Gina.


Brooke Steinke

Mother of the Bride

Brooke is the mother of the bride and the quiet MVP of the family. She’s the one who shows up early, brings what you forgot, and somehow keeps everything running without making a fuss. Thoughtful, steady, and always ready with a warm smile — she’s the kind of person everyone’s lucky to have in their corner.

Brenda McCauley

Mother of the Groom

Brenda is the mother of the groom and one of the kindest, most easygoing people you’ll ever meet. She’s the type of person who makes everyone feel welcome and always shows up with a smile. She’s been Ben’s quiet supporter and biggest fan — and now, a beloved part of the bride’s family too.


Matthew McCauley

Father of the Groom

Matthew is the father of the groom and the calm, steady presence in the middle of all the excitement. He’s the guy who’s always ready to lend a hand, crack a quiet joke, or give solid advice when it’s needed most. Ben’s sense of humor and big heart? Yeah — you can thank Matthew for that.
