Whitney and Heidi met Kyle in 2010 when he first started dating Dannie (Matron of Honor). He's their brother from another mother - and ALWAYS a trooper when hanging with the girls. Watch out for his killer dance moves and dad jokes, they'll catch you by surprise!
Usher
Heidi has known Tyler since the 6th grade. They formed a unique bond based on their mutual love for competition as they both played baseball/softball competitively throughout the years. Tyler is always down for a good time and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Don't let his tattoos fool you, he's a big marshmallow!
Usher
Christian is Heidi's youngest brother and the brains of the Carl's Clan. Much like Heidi, he's also a born entertainer and will most definitely be hitting the dance floor on the big day. He has a great sense of humor and has put it to good use as he's been teasing Whitney for going on 10 years now!
Ring Bearer
Westin is Whitney and Heidi's favorite little Cowboy! They are anxiously awaiting his Mutton Busting debut when they will be making a special trip down to Texas just to cheer him on. Much like his parents, he has the sweetest little heart...and we guarantee you won't be able to resist his cute little curls under that cowboy hat!!
Ring Bearer
Nolan (AKA "Noley Butters," "Butters" or "Butter Ball" for short) is Whitney and Heidi's favorite little Scandinavian boy! Whether he likes it or not, he was born as their honorary 5th wheel and gets to tag along for A LOT of their adventures with his parents Dannie and Kyle (Matron of Honor, Usher). Whitney and Heidi are looking forward to many hours at the hockey rink when Nolan hits the ice!
Flower Girl
Harlow is Heidi and Whitney's niece. She is a sweet, spunky little girl who loves her arts and crafts, gymnastics, telling jokes...and most of all, Fozzie! You can catch her packing an entire backpack full of her "stuff" (whether she is leaving for 5 minutes or 5 days) - or playing dress up with Fozzie and giving him an endless supply of neck hugs. She is ecstatic to be a Flower Girl for the first time, and Heidi and Whitney are so excited to have her there on the big day!
Officiant
Justin is Heidi and Whitney's favorite big Cowboy! Born and raised in Texas, he is a true Southern Gentleman with a fun-loving spirit and one of the biggest hearts around. He has the unique ability to make those around him feel like they've been friends for a lifetime, and that's exactly why Heidi and Whitney immediately adored him. You can catch him on the big day rocking his Cowboy hat - and rocking his role as their Officiant!
Chief Cuteness Officer
Fozzie rules the roost and is the apple of Heidi and Whitney's eyes. Watch out for his puppy kisses and endless begs for back scratches. It's impawwwssible not to love him. That's about all you need to know.
Official Greeter
Fletchy is the dog Heidi and Whitney never knew they needed - and Fozzie wish they never brought home. He’s the most rambunctious little guy, pushing the limits on everything… but also the snuggliest & sweetest boy you’ll ever meet. He will crawl into your skin if you let him.
Flower Child
Sweet “Margie,” sister of “Butters” (Nolan, ring bearer). She’s a cute little cherub that’s going to make your heart melt when she walks down the aisle.
