Wedding Party
Peyton Bybee
Maid of Honor
Peyton is not only my big sister, but my built-in best friend. From making dance videos for our parents in the living room to reusing her school projects (I got an A every time) to random weekly phone calls about the dumbest things, she has been there for me. Even though we’re almost four years apart, I never miss a chance to remind her of the days she told me I was “too little” to hang out with her cool big-kid friends—and now we’re inseparable to the point that we can’t make life decisions without each other. She’s been my role model for as long as I can remember, my constant supporter, and the bestest big sister I could ever ask for. I truly can’t imagine life without her, and I absolutely can’t imagine my wedding day without her standing by my side as my maid of honor.
Skyler Pfeil
Best Man
Obviously, Skyler is my little brother, so there's not much of an introduction needed. Well, I should say my bigger little brother? Lol, he is much taller than me and has been since high school, but we all know I can still kick his ass if I need to with that big brother strength. Skyler and I have always been really close growing up together and I couldn't imagine a world where he isn't my best man. I love him to death and that will never change. Seeing him grow into the man he is today has been a real treat and I'd like to say I've been a pretty good role model for him, but he has taught me just as many things about life that I have taught him. He is definitely the person in my life I have made the most memories with. From playing sports together as innocent little boys to getting black out drunk as irresponsible young men, my brother has been there for almost all of my favorite memories and I'm honored to have him right by my side during my most favorite memory.
Madison Ruser
Bridesmaid
Madison and I met our freshman year of college and quickly became closer than anyone else in our friend group. We bonded over terrible roommates, going to every campus event solely for the free stuff, and an unnecessary amount of midnight Dutch runs. She was there the literal day I met Tristyn and even snuck him into the dorm on our first Valentine’s Day. We’ve had plenty of late night shenanigans, floor talks, and just about anything else you could imagine 2 girls getting into on a college campus. Even though she just had to move and leave me she is one of my closest friends and we successfully got the boys to be best friends too so our scheme worked out perfectly. There was never a question she’d be right by my side for another huge chapter of my life.
Tony Sianis
Groomsman
Tony and I met through Regan's best friend Madison in college. Well, actually I think it was a joint effort between the both of them to set us up on a date. You see, if Madison and Regan could get Tony and I to be best friends, that would allow them to have more of a reason to see each other all the time. That quickly backfired on them because not only did Tony become one of my closest friends, he became my gay lover in an alternate universe. The same universe in fact that Regan and Madison are a married lesbian couple. Even though the physical distance from each other is from Phoenix to Denver, our friendship/bromance is as close as two male giraffes during mating season. According to the internet the male giraffe is the most homosexual animal in the world. The more you know, right?
Alex Meraz
Bridesmaid
Alex has been one of my best friends for about 5 years, and we met working at JCPenney trauma-bonding for far too many of those years. One day I started yapping, and she truly just yapped right back. From surviving chaotic shifts to dealing with the most toxic workplace we somehow turned it into a lifelong friendship. Since then, we’ve made countless memories together, from concerts and spontaneous trips to late nights out and everything in between. I’m so grateful a place like JCPenney has brought me an amazing friendship and I can’t imagine my life without our spontaneous nights out and trivia (yapping) sessions. I was so honored to stand by her side on her wedding day, and now I’m beyond blessed to have her standing by mine. Our years of friendship have been filled with the most annoying amount of laughter and I truly can’t imagine this chapter of my life without her right beside me.
Sawyer Messick
Groomsman
Sawyer is my slightly older cousin that I always looked up to growing up and still do for that matter (he's only 5 months older to be exact). As you can see from the picture I used for him above, we were as close as could be growing up in the same town. I was fortunate enough to play baseball with him on several different teams through little league and high school. He was always either a lot better or at least a little better at everything than I was. But the tables have turned, I finally found something I'm better at. Growing a beard, LOL, sorry cuz, had to say it. Sawyer always pushed me and gave me the competitive drive I needed. Since graduating and entering adulthood, we both had different paths and I miss having him around all the time, but when we do see each other it's like nothing has changed at all and we are those two dorks in that picture again.
Vanessa Hernandez
Bridesmaid
Vanessa and I may have the shortest friendship in the group, but we made up for lost time very quickly. We first met about 5 years ago when she was my supervisor and I was her assistant but we weren’t as close. Somehow many years later we both ended up back at JCPenney, and from that moment we became inseparable. Between weekly McDonald’s runs and getting in trouble for talking way too much it didn’t take long before we earned the nickname “the Twisted Sisters” at work. We’re now well known for laughing so hard and being so loud that everyone else is tired of hearing us and knows when we are coming. Our friendship goes way beyond work to getting big back meals at Chili’s to almost nightly Fortnite runs (when she’s not too busy for me). I’m truly so blessed working at such a terrible place brought yet another great friendship and there was never any doubt that she’d be standing with me on my wedding day.
Dawson Messick
Groomsman
Dawson is my younger cousin and Sawyer's little brother. Growing up, us 4 cousins(Sawyer, me, Dawson, and Skyler) were out of control to say the least. Ask our parents. Sawyer and I would always beat up on the younger siblings. Often times playing a game we called "little kids vs big kids." Well, Sawyer and I quickly got passed up and now we are the little kids because Dawson, like Skyler, is much taller than both of us. I got really close with Dawson in High School as him and I started at the same school the same year. Although I was a grade ahead, we spent every lunch together with our group that included Skyler and Ethan. We played baseball together all throughout High School and partied together a lot when he moved down to Tucson for college. He is the reason I have lost many brain cells and he will be the reason I lose plenty more. Everyone has a weird, but super funny cousin. Dawson is that guy and we love him for it!
Darien Gray
Bridesmaid
Darien is one of my cousins (Blake’s sister) so I’ve known her for just about my whole life and from the very beginning she’s been one of the greatest lights in this world and truly one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. Darien is one of the greatest cousins and human beings, and I am so incredibly lucky I get to call her family. I still can’t believe we used to play Roblox as kids and spent every summer together at our grandparents’ to not only me standing by her side on her wedding day but her standing next to me on mine. Even though we weren’t super close as kids (thanks to our age gap), growing up and realizing just how similar our lives and goals are brought us closer than ever. She has a way of making everyone feel comfortable, loved, and laughing without even trying. Now she’s not just my cousin but someone I’ve been so blessed to watch build and grow her family, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side.
Blake Bybee
Groomsman
Blake is Regan's cousin and Darien's little brother. Put into terms that my side of the family will understand, Blake is Regan's Dawson, but times 100. Now to address Regan's side of the family.....sorry you have to deal with us. Blake and I can be a bit much when we are together, but rest assured you will laugh your ass off when you hear us go back and forth. When I met Blake, there was immediate chemistry between the two of us. I am convinced he brought out the inner autism in me. I mean I have my moments, but with Blake its a never-ending roller coaster of laughs and nothing but a good time. He is the only person I have split an entire handle of captain morgans with, and I'll tell ya something, you learn a lot about someone when you split an entire handle of captain morgans LOL. Could not of asked for a better cousin in law.
Jessica Hunyada
Bridesmaid
Jessica and I go all the way back to 6th grade, though we really knew each other long before that as neighbors, school-bus buddies, and each other’s go-to call whenever something big (or chaotic) was happening in our lives. We spent countless school days eating lunch together and getting into shenanigans on our very slow, very distracted walks home from school. She’s the kind of friend who has been there through just about every stage of my life — from the hardest moments when I needed someone steady, to the goofiest memories I’ll never forget. Jessica has always been a constant, someone I can count on no matter what, and her presence brings both comfort and fun at the same time. We’ve grown up together, navigated life side by side, and supported each other through it all. Now she’ll be right by my side for one of the happiest moments of my life, and it truly doesn’t get more full-circle than that.
Ethan Willis
Groomsman
Ethan and I met in high school in my sophomore year when I switched schools. I didn't really have many friends being in a new school, but Ethan was quick to befriend me. He knew Skyler before he met me, but we hit it off right away. Ethan is my ride or die and by far my closest friend from high school. We did everything together, from goofing off in high school classes, to going to college, to becoming adults and getting jobs at Gore together and everything in between. As we were adulting, we did kind of lose contact for a short while, but we both needed to do some growing on our own. I told him in high school that he would definitely be one of my groomsmen and here we are all those years later. Now, I am more than grateful to say he is my best friend for life, my other brother, and that he will be standing along side me at my wedding.
