Aryn & Kaitlyn
Wedding Party
Annie Maxwell
Officiant
Annie, better known as AnneDogg, has been friends with Kaitlyn since college. Not only did they ride the bench each lacrosse season together, but they were roommates. From late night McDonalds runs to singing musicals to offering condolence cheese sticks, they have done it all! Kaitlyn is forever thankful for Annie who continues to love and support Kaitlyn through every step of the way. Annie is a golden nugget of goodness in a creek bed and Kaitlyn is forever thankful for their support, love, and patience.
Dean Griffey
Best Man
Dean was the first person in Tennessee that Kaitlyn forced into a friendship. The greatest thing for an extrovert is an introvert! Despite no longer living in the same state, their friendship has continued to grow and Dean has always been the steadfast, calm light that Kaitlyn has always needed.
Cassidy Gibson
Matron of Honor
Cassidy and Kaitlyn became friends while working in Tennessee and have continued to grow that friendship despite not living in the same place. Cassidy has always been Kaitlyn’s hype girl and they can always find a reason to celebrate and party! Kaitlyn is always thankful for the smooth, fun, and understanding friendship that has continued to grow despite being states away.
Lindsey Shults
Bridesmaid
Lindsey and Kaitlyn became friends at work and ended up working on the same team (until Lindsey moved on to bigger and better things). Lindsey constantly brings high energy, happiness, and fun to everything they do and helped Kaitlyn greatly during their dark patches.
Katie Mitchell
Maid of Honor
Katie has been Aryn’s sidekick since freshman year of college. Katie came up to Aryn at band camp and said, “can I sit here?” and ever since then they’ve been best friends. Katie has been there for Aryn through the darkest times and Aryn can say the same for Katie. Aryn loves Katie more than Katie will ever know!
Tara Gordon
Matron of Honor
Tara and Aryn met in 2024 when Tara started working with Aryn. Quickly, Tara became someone Aryn could always depend on and vice versa. Tara has been the most amazing wedding planner Kaitlyn and Aryn could’ve ever asked for. Aryn will forever love and appreciate Tara!
Haley Northrup
Bridesmaid
Aryn and Haley met the year after Aryn met Katie. Haley wanted to join the music sorority Aryn was in and ever since that they were as close as could be. Haley and Aryn spend hours laughing at each other and making each other mad, but end up laughing about it minutes later. From quoting Step Brothers to Haley breaking her arm, Aryn knows Haley will be there for her no matter what.
Scout Abel
Bridesmaid
Scout and Aryn went to the same school growing up and both were in marching band. Scout and Aryn were best friends and Scout looked forward to seeing Aryn at every event once Aryn graduated. Scout and Aryn stayed friends, but grew close again when Scout started her new job at the same place Aryn worked. Aryn is so grateful for being able to reconnect with Scout and that Scout is now a part of Aryn's big day.
Ophelia Shults
Flower Girl
Oph is the first baby of the group and has been loved greatly since she’s been in the womb! She is Lindsey and Garret’s daughter and it is clear she is destined for greatness! She has a strong head on her shoulders and great parents to guide her!
Kai Gordon
Ring Bearer
Kai is Tara and David’s grandson and he is a bundle of energy and joy! Kaitlyn and Aryn love to go on trips with Kai, play with him, and FaceTime him and Tara nearly nightly. It’s impossible to not smile when he’s around and they know Kai will bring a great personality to the wedding that’s needed!
