Wedding Party

The people below are some of the most important humans in our lives. They’ve supported us through many seasons, celebrated the good moments, and probably witnessed more embarrassing stories than we’d like to admit :) We’re so grateful they’ll be standing with us on our wedding day. Below are a few fun facts about each of them.

Tyler Kapp

Groom

Tyler is wonderfully quirky, loving, and known for enthusiastically hyper-fixating on whatever currently has his attention. Whether it’s a hobby, a new idea, or perfecting one of his many raps, he dives in wholeheartedly. In fact, if you see him at the wedding, feel free to ask for a rap performance, he’s usually happy to oblige :) He’s steady, friendly, and one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet, with a heart of gold. He’s also incredibly persistent! Despite the fact that Garra consistently beats him at most games, Tyler continues to show up for rematches with unwavering optimism (To his credit, there has been some noticeable improvement over time). Garra feels incredibly lucky to be marrying someone so genuine, thoughtful, and wonderfully himself.

Garra Appling

Bride

Garra is thoughtful, curious, and the kind of person who loves diving deeply into the things that matter to her. Whether she’s reading, creating something beautiful, or exploring a new idea, she tends to approach life with both enthusiasm and intention. She also happens to be very competitive when it comes to games - something Tyler knows well, as she tends to win most of them. Thankfully, Tyler keeps showing up for rematches :) Garra cares deeply about the people in her life and has a gift for making others feel seen and valued. Tyler feels incredibly lucky to be marrying someone so curious, creative, and full of heart.

Shaila

Maid of Honor

Hi, I'm Shaila, sister of the bride! I'm the oldest of three and would describe myself as friendly, caring, with a touch of whimsy. I love intimate gatherings, deep conversations, and crafting nights. I've known Garrra her entire life, but truly got to know her over the last few years as we lived together, cried together, and made our way through our mid-twenties and early thirties, with all their challenges. Watching her find a love that is steady, joyful, and true has been one of my greatest joys. I'm so grateful to be here, surrounded by family and friends, celebrating their love and this beautiful next chapter.

Cashmere

Bridesmaid

Hi, I'm Cashmere! I met Garra at the library one day (very on theme for her), and the rest was History. Over the past two years, what started as a simpler conversation has grown into a friendship I truly value. Everything from out on the clock hangouts and our catch-up luncheons. I'd describe my self as friendly, funny, and pretty simple at heart. I love good laughs and building lasting memories with people I love. I'm so grateful and excited to celebrate these two and this amazing new chapter in their lives.

Gina

Bridesmaid

There is truly no better friend to road trip with-to beaches, wineries, and NYC, DC, PA and everywhere in between- no matter the destination, Taylor Swift is always blasting and I'm forever grateful that I was enchanted to meet you!! Love you sis!

Jacinda

Bridesmaid

I'm Jacinda! I met Garra during our doctoral program. Our professor paired us up for a practice administration for testing and after a glass of wine (or two), the friendship bloomed. Garra is what I consider a part of my inner core. She truly sees me, cares for me, and loves me - and I love her just as deeply. It means so much to be part of this chapter in her life, and I am honored to celebrate both her and Tyler
