Wedding Party
Dylan Countiss
Maid of Honor
Dylan is Tyra’s younger sister and life long bff. She has the best music taste, is an awesome chef, and the funniest person we know! She was the first person to know about our engagement and took AWESOME pics of the whole proposal. Dyl is our favorite person and we’re so excited to have her standing by Tyra’s side.
Tyler Zastrow
Best Man
Tyler and J.D. met at the University of South Florida where they lived in the same dorm. The friendship began through a mutual love of sports, especially basketball. They even won Bromance of the Year, for their floor, freshman year along with another groomsman. They became life long brothers over their time at USF.
Natalie Murdock
Matron of Honor
Natalie and Tyra were roommates during their time at Coastal Carolina University. They matched randomly and it was love at first sight. Natalie is the best when it comes to learning new tiktok dances, playing mario kart, and bringing a positive attitude to any room she walks into.
Anthony Barbuto
Groomsman
The forementioned 3rd member of the Bromance of the Year. J.D. and Anthony met at orientation at the University of South Florida. J.D. and Anthony's connection really grew on the Intramural flag football field where Anthony was J.D.'s go-to WR. They would often go head to head in Mario Kart where Anthony would typically reign supreme.
Haley Wheeler
Bridesmaid
Haley and Tyra met freshman year of high school and did everything together! From running track and cross country together to having countless sleepovers and late night chats, they've stuck by each other through every phase of life. Haley always has the best vibes and is the life of the party.
Jazmyn Johnson
Groomswoman
Jazmyn and J.D., often referred to as J^2, also met at USF. Both are diehard basketball fans and would stay up every year to get the release of NBA 2K on release night and play the first match against each other. They also played every IM sport together. The pinnacle being when they won the Co-Ed 3-on-3 campus championship.
Allison Mills
Bridesmaid
Tyra and Allison met through J.D.! Allison gave J.D. the extra nudge to reach out to Tyra. We started going on double dates and now have a yearly Orioles game tradition. As a fellow Swiftie and Joe Burrow lover, it's impossible for Tyra and Allison to not be friends!
Jacob Paro
Groomsman
J.D. and Jacob really met and became friends on the school bus rides in High School. From arguing sports like two sports talk show hosts to competing in fantasy football, these two have been talking sports for close to 10 years. In addition to sports the two frequently play video games and poker together.
Brian Smith
Officiant
Brian is the light of our lives. We wanted someone special to marry us and Brian was a no brainer! He met us from working at the high school and is a great friend to both of us. We have a great time with him and we love him to the moon AND Saturn.
Jailyn Russell
Flower Girl
Jailyn is Tyra's youngest sister and we can't get enough of her! She is the best cheerleader and tiktok star we know and is full of so much love and energy. Jailyn is the coolest kid we know and it wouldn't be our wedding without her up with us. We are so excited to have her as our flower girl!
Ryker Griffin
Ring Bearer
Ryker is the son of J.D.'s sister Kelin, and he is J.D. and Tyra's favorite nephew. His bubbly smile and youthful exuberance will steal the show and they could not be happier to have him be a part of the ceremony.
