Wedding Party
Dolly Haskins
Officiant
Dolly and Ty have known each other for about ten years now and both families have become somewhat close. Dolly and Ty usually talk on the phone about every day or every other day. Bryan and Dolly were introduced through Ty and are still getting to know one another better. Wife to Jason Haskins, loving mother, and grandmother (Ya-Ya).
Tynan Holder
Bride
Bryan and Ty met originally in August of 2018. They lost touch after that and got back in touch in December of 2019. Due to the fact that Ty was in a bad mental space, it took 3 months for Bryan to talk Ty into a second First Date.
Bryan Bierbaum
Groom
Bryan spent months talking Ty into another first date and reconnecting. When Bryan fell for Ty and let Ty know, he did it in such a way that Ty couldn’t even panic. Slowly, but surely, Bryan has made sure to try and include Ty in most activities trying to merge their life styles and habits.
Lisa Adrienne Bond Dollar
Maid of Honor
Parker Bierbaum
Best Man
What is there to say about Parker? Parker, of course, is Bryan’s son and eldest child of two. Parker is athletic, is going to University full-time, and works as well. He is very independent, and very smart, although he may not think about everything thoroughly. Parker is the first family member that Bryan came out to, and the first family of Bryan’s that Ty was introduced to. Parker is sweet, kind, and has a wonderful heart, but we’re not entirely convinced that he knows how to use these powers.
Austin Holder
Bridesmaid
Austin is Ty's sister and now that they are older, they are closer than ever. When Ty told Austin he was in a serious relationship, Austin started referring to Bryan as "Honey" and it still goes on. Bryan secretly flew Austin to Louisiana for the proposal and that was a success. Austin has stood up for Ty and Ty has stood up for Austin, but it's not about score: it's their way of saying that "only I can bully you, but if anyone else does it..." type of thing.
Spencer Morris
Groomsman
Spencer is Bryan's cousin, and from the day he and Ty met, started referring to Ty as his new cousin!! Spencer is a VERY sweet, kind, and gentle soul with an incredible sense of humor and has always made Ty feel comfortable and welcome as a part of the family. When Spencer was asked to be in the wedding, he agreed with every ounce of of excitement and enthusiasm that Bryan and Ty expected to see. We are so excited to share this moment as a family coming together.
Alexandria Herrin
Bridesmaid
Alexandria and Ty have been friends since middle school. They are the longest life-long friends that each other has and Alexandria is a wife to Eugene Herrin, a mother of 3, and one half of Ty’s soulmate. She goes by Allie for short, and will always have Ty’s back. In return, Ty will always have Allie’s back, too. Ty is one of the few friends that Allie still has who remembers Allie’s mom before her untimely departure from this lifetime. Best friends is how their story started and they built on top of that!!
Isabella Bierbaum
Flower Girl
Isabella is Bryan's youngest of two kids. Bryan says that Bella and Ty are kindred spirits and have gotten along ever since they met. They always had a mutual understanding and a different perspective than the rest of the world. Both of the kids have grown on Ty, but Bella got more time to perfect it. Bella and Ty both have a morbid sense of humor and a love for roller skating, but we all have a sense of adventure about a zoo or an aquarium.
Teressa Long
Mother of the Bride
Teressa has always told all of her kids that she only wanted happiness for them. The same thing mothers always say right before they kick out the gay kids. Teressa was NOT one of those mothers. Teressa took the news as a shock just as anyone would, but tried to do so with grace and poise; she even took Ty to the store that day to get his first tube of mascara and got in her own makeup bag to give him one of her eyeliners. She is so happy for the couple and super grateful to the both of them for helping to take care of her.
