Elizabeth & Justin
Wedding Party
Emily McKay
Matron of Honor
Emily is Elizabeth's sister and built in best friend. Recently married to the love of her life, Emily is the Matron of Honor and has spent hours screening phone calls, looking at color combinations via video chat, and of course has listened to the chaos and wonder that goes into a wedding. If you need a good laugh, want to hear a song, or simply need a human to connect with, Emily is your gal!
Sebastian "Seabass" McHaney
Best Man
When Justin moved to Washington from Texas, it was a big shift. Sebastian "Seabass" quickly befriended our goofy groom and the rest was history! From replacing grandparents' docks (and of course using the floats as rafts), camping trips and bonfires (and Justin literally catching fire), getting tickets in Capital Forest for illegal quad activities and everything in between, these two have been through it all! He may live in Oklahoma now, but is only a call or text away when our groom needs him.
Hunter Landis
Ring Bearer
Hunter is Justin's youngest brother and loves spending time with his brother and future sister-in-law! From summer breaks at the fairgrounds to fishing adventures on the weekends and everything in between, Hunter loves being involved and is a reliable little guy! That's why he's been given the ring responsibility!
Matthew Rounsley
Officiant
Elizabeth first met Matthew in high school at the Washington State FFA Convention and they were partners in crime for life instantly! Over the years, it has been Elizabeth's privilege to work alongside Matthew in a variety of capacities- most notably as a volunteer for a plethora of FFA events locally and at the state level. Justin's love and support of the FFA and of Elizabeth's demanding career made Matthew an obvious choice and having someone officiate who loves empowering students as much as the bride and groom is amazing!
Nonnie (Laretta Gehr)
Flower Girl
Nonnie is Justin's paternal grandma and is always a great support of Justin AND of Justin and Elizabeth's love story. From camping invitations to lumpia fixations, Nonnie always makes the couple feel loved (and full!).
Ma (Kathy Warren)
Flower Girl
Ma is Elizabeth's paternal grandmother and is one heck of a lady! From making sure Justin has a constant supply of sweet tea to holding the title of Oldest Rat in the Barn over Kenny and the rest of the family, Ma is always happy to support these two and her plus Nonnie make a stereotypical grandma overload!
Lynn Warren
Mother of the Bride
A hard worker, creative mind, and lover of the outdoors... all these things helped make our bride who she is today. From playing in the chicken coop to picking berries to any craft you can imagine and then everything in between, the love of creativity, expression, and living things are definitely traits from Lynn that we are glad to see in Elizabeth. From FFA mom to ag teacher nana, if you need a full supporter of whatever crazy endeavor our wild-eyed bride is taking on that day/week/month/year, Lynn is there!
Shelly Fagergren
Mother of the Groom
Elizabeth: "If you could tell your mom anything, what would you say? I will use that for her bio." Justin: "I dunno... that I love her?" But seriously- Shelly has been through so much with Justin over the years, it is only fair to give her a shoutout here in the wedding party page! Thanks are in order to Shelly for stalking Elizabeth's Instagram with Tyttyn and working to connect the bride and groom. This wedding wouldn't be happening without her meddling!
Reilly Morgan
Bridesman
Other than Justin and Emily, Reilly is quite possibly Elizabeth's favorite person on the planet! From plant collecting to late-night Dutch Bros runs in college to Reilly's own wedding, these two have been through a lot. Reilly is a dependable, charismatic, and all-around welcoming friend. Elizabeth wouldn't be who she is today if it weren't for Reilly (and Sam and Charlie too!!!!). Best friends come into our lives in many different ways, and Elizabeth sure is thankful for this one!
Kenny (Eugene) Warren
Father of the Bride
Whatever you may know him as or know him for, Kenny/Eugene/Euge/Elizabeth's dad is one of the top two reasons she is the angler she is! (We can all thank the first Kenneth Eugene as the other! If you know, you know ;) ) Kenny loves hunting, fishing, hiking, and complaining about the miscellaneous farm life and plants our bride has always loved and occasionally brought home. Rippin' lips and long days enjoying time on the water together are some of Elizabeth's favorite memories with her dad... and WSU Cougar football games of course!
