Tara and Kristina have been best friends since the meet and greet potluck at veterinary school.

Tara is currently a small animal veterinarian in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada and is Kristina's maid of honor.
Spencer Sanchez
Best Man
Spencer and Wyatt met in band, like most people in Wyatt's life, about two decades ago. Unfortunately, Spencer chose to introduce Wyatt to League of Legends forever changing the course of his life. They've played games of every variety, done a lot of rock climbing, and thoroughly enjoyed each other's company ever since. Now Spence is a civil engineer, an awesome dad, and Wyatt's best man.
Joelle Baskerville
Bridesmaid
Joelle is one of Kristina's closest and longest standing friendships. They met over 14 years ago in university as pre-med and pre-vet students. They survived long grueling study sessions in the Math Science building with nothing but good food and dreams of being doctors. Joelle has been there every step of the way and even visited Saskatoon, Canada to be a vet student for a day. Kristina spent two weeks with Joelle in Edmonton, Canada during her zoo externship and learned the importance of good chocolate and cheese! Joelle is now a kick-ass family medicine doctor in Canada and has the best Labrador named Tula and horse named Bootes.
Corinne Allen
Groomswoman
Corinne and Wyatt have been close since middle school, where they first met at Mr. Beck’s band camp. From playing together in drum line, to hitting the gym, to Corinne always reminding him to do his chemistry homework: she’s always been a steady and encouraging presence in his life. Most importantly, Corinne encouraged Wyatt to download Hinge, helped him take some nice photos, and is one of the primary reasons he got the opportunity to meet Kristina.
Kolaine Lapahie
Bridesmaid
Kolaine is Brett's girlfriend and an amazing dog mom to her dogs Theo and Copernicus. Kolaine and Kristina first bonded over their love of Taylor Swift and Kolaine even managed to find Eras Tour floor tickets! They regularly talk about life and both love the holidays, animals, and sweet treats! Kolaine is a loyal, generous, and caring person who goes above and beyond for others. Kolaine is like a sister to Kristina and integral part of Kristina's chosen family.
Brett Crockett
Groomsman
Brett is Wyatt’s younger brother. Growing up together they’ve shared a lot of laughs, late nights, and unforgettable moments. Some favorite memories include the time Wyatt convinced Brett he was late for the school bus... at 2 a.m., or countless hours spent playing games of every variety, from CoD to Magic. Brett has a quick wit, a big heart, and cats like him more than anyone else who has ever existed. Wyatt is proud to have him standing by his side.
Peter Sojka
Bridesman
Peter and Kristina first met during her interview to become a resident doctor at the University of Tennessee on her journey to become a specialist. During their one shared year of training, Peter became not just a colleague, but a supportive close friend. Peter, his wife Kathleen, Wyatt, and Kristina frequently went on double dates in Knoxville including a train themed escape room. Peter shares Kristina's love of Disney, animals, and the pursuit of knowledge. Wyatt and Kristina had the best time taking him to Disneyland and the San Diego Safari Park to look at the platypuses the last time he visited. The four friends regularly keep in touch through monthly zoom chats as they navigate life. Kristina is proud to have such a wonderful person by her side.
Kathleen Kimball
Groomswoman
Kathleen was the first new friend that Wyatt made after covid broke the world. She is super easy to talk to and really helped bring him out of his introverted shell. She is an absolute warrior when it comes to getting things done and is always the right person to have in your corner. She is also an awesome veterinarian and is married to Peter. We have the best zoom chats!
Kyle Herbert-McHenry
Bridesman
Kyle is one of Wyatt's longstanding friends that welcomed Kristina into their family of friends. Kyle and his girlfriend Aubrie have spent countless craft nights, movie nights, and game nights with Kristina and Wyatt. Their current obsession are the claw machines at Round One! Not only is Kyle a talented artist and animal lover (especially of fish!), he is one of the sweetest, silliest, and most genuine people Kristina has ever met. Kyle is an essential part of Kristina's life.
Taylor Sanchez
Groomswoman
Like most on Wyatt’s side of the aisle, Taylor and Wyatt met through band. Since they both lived way out in the country, Wyatt often gave her rides home after band and drumline practice, leading to the beginning of their long lasting friendship. Taylor is a talented hair stylist, an amazing mom, and a great friend.
