OUR LINE
Ryan
Officiant
Ryan and Dakota go back to 1st grade where they met and quickly became best friends. Ryan has been that friend for Dakota that he could alway count on no matter the situation and even if they hadn't talked in weeks or even months at a one time Dakota knew he could call Ryan to help or be there for him when he needed it. Ryan also very quickly accepted Bri into the group and treated her like a sister from the get go, which is why Bri and Dakota couldn't imagine a better person to Officiate for them and be the one to marry them.
Destiny
Maid of Honor
Destiny is like a cat (which she ironically is afraid of), "if she fits, she sits". This girl came into Bri and Dakota's life in 2019 and decided this was where she was staying. Her and Bri have been inseparable ever since! She is simultaneously the most organized, OCD person while somehow being the first person to make last minute plans to go on vacation or drop everything to be by your side. Destiny is the epitome of sunshine, optimism, a good time and blonde moments galore. Bri is honored to have her best friend standing by her!
Hannah
Bridesmaid
Dakota met Hannah through a close friend (David May) back in the day..and then was introduced to Bri in 2017, which is when it really started counting! Hannah and Bri have since bonded over too much wine (is that a thing?), tons of books that are too dark/chilling for comfort, and camping trips. Hannah is a lover of outdoors and likes to trick people into 10 brutal miles of bouldering. She calls this fun. Hannah is a comforting friend who will let you be vulnerable, lending a shoulder to cry and laugh on... but she's also the friend that will encourage you to keep going and "stop whining because the trail WASN'T THAT BAD". All things considered, Bri and Dakota are happy to call her one of their closest and best friends.
Ashley
Bridesmaid
Back in 2013, Bri's brother's bestie (Ashley), was introduced to the cooler Mayhew sibling, Bri. Ashley has been a consistent part of Bri and Dakota's life since they've been together and has been one of their biggest cheerleaders from the beginning. She is dirty jokes, tan lines and trying new things! Bri and Ashley have the kind of relationship that can pick back up where it left off like nothing ever changed.
Katie
Bridesmaid
Katie and Bri were introduced in 2017 by the groom (Dakota Kummer) and have been close ever since! She welcomed Bri into the family with open arms, advice and love. Katie is Bri's favorite go-to person for a girl's night out, to try new restaurants and to navigate life's 'what ifs' and decisions over a yummy cocktail. Bri couldn't be more excited to make the sister-in-law title official!
Christina
Bridesmaid
Christina was introduced to Bri and Dakota in 2018 by Ryan. She had always considered herself and Bri as "the new kids" in the group and the two girls have been able to bond over this since then... that and the fact that they were the only two that didn't go to private school and have all the street smarts. Christina is so caring, outdoorsy and loves her fur babies as much as Bri and Dakota loves theirs, which makes them feel less crazy!
Karlla
Bridesmaid
Karlla gave her seal of approval to Bri and Dakota at Red Lobster one fine evening in 2017. Bri was introduced to Karlla over all-you-can-eat shrimp and their friendship has outlasted the franchise's ability to keep serving that special.. Which means, Bri and Karlla have something TRULY special. Karlla was stuck with Austin and Dakota before Bri came along to cleanse the palette and offer her laughter, snacks and nap times. Dakota and Bri both care deeply for her friendship and couldn't imagine the first person that welcomed Bri to the "family" not by their side.
Kenny
Best Man
Kenny and Dakota met through a common Mother and Father. These brothers are almost 7 year apart and all growing up Dakota wanted nothing more than to hang out with his older brother and his friends, which Kenny was not always a fan of. Once Dakota got older and a little cooler to hang out with him and Kenny became not only brothers but best friends. It's still up for debate who the better golfer is out of the two but we for sure know who the better hockey player is.
Eric
Groomsman
Eric was one of Kenny's (Dakota's Brother) best friends growing up but always treated Dakota like a little brother, and yes that includes all ways that big brothers treat little brothers. Don't worry though Eric is older than Kenny so sometimes he helped the little brother get back and the middle brother when it was needed. Eric got Dakota interested in sports other than Hockey and is the reason he's a Patriots fan. Eric is that second brother who helped to level out the three brothers and sometimes keep the peace. Couldn't imagine him not in our line.
David
Groomsman
David and Dakota started Kindergarten together and were always friends through school and still to this day. David is Dakota's go to night skiing buddy and is always open to go up for a few late night runs, don't get it twisted he's also the first one to want to turn around and go home but he's always down to at least ride up the canyon and have a beer with a good talk.
Zach
Groomsman
Zach came as a bonus prize with Bri. Dakota didn't know that when he started dating Bri that Zach would be part of the package but he couldn't be happier that he is. Zach quickly included Dakota into their lives by even inviting Dakota to a trip to Thailand when Bri and Dakota had only been dating for a few weeks. Since then Zach and Dakota have been best friends and Dakota even taught him how to grow a beard. They can always lean on each other to help with projects or encouraging each other to spend unnecessary money on Whiskey's.
Austin
Groomsman
Austin is Dakota's French Canadian brother from another mother. What started in high school as these two not liking each other very much grew into them being as close as brothers. Austin and Dakota have been best friends ever since and have been there for each other through everything. These two may not have been the best at making sure each other got to class in college but they for sure have helped each other in every other way in life.
