16 Days To Go!
Jennifer Gurke - Maid of Honor
Sammi’s sister and built-in best friend. When the two are together, they share one brain cell!
Christian Callender - Best Man
Brandon’s older brother and partner in endless conversations. Their topics jump from new music they found to what's going on in the sports world. Together, they can talk forever... and somehow survive each other’s takes without a fight.
Maria Connell - Bridesmaid
From countless softball games and road trips to a secret handshake only they could pull off, Sam and Maria have a life-long friendship. Fun fact: back before they were even dating, Brandon texted Maria to confess he liked Sam... making her an OG witness to this love story.
Collin Hudetz - Groomsmen
Best friends since 6th grade. Brandon has probably spent more time at Collin's house than he ever has at Sammi's.
Hailey Schmittel - Bridesmaid
Sam & Ham grew up playing softball together. Brandon & Sam will say she's hands-down the funniest girl they know!
Emilio Guitron - Groomsmen
Emilio and Brandon were catch partners and were referred to as "The Brothers" by their teammates (I mean look at them). Most days, Brandon will text Emilio more than his future Bride.
Brooklyn Daly - Bridesmaid
Sam has known Brooklyn since they were young- playing softball on the same team from 4-18 years old. Over the years, the girls most memorable summers included snacking on Lay’s chips, sipping Capri Suns, and setting up beauty pageants (where they were the only 2 contestants).
Danny Gerke - Groomsmen
Brandon’s college teammate and mentor... Gerke helped shape him both on and off the field. They bond over Chicago Bears, Miller Lite, and Pardon My Take.
Fallon Callender - Junior Bridesmaid
Born just 56 days before Sammi and Brandon started dating in 2014, Fallon's age is the perfect reminder of how long they’ve been together. She always called Brandon “Uncle B” and soon started to call Sammi “Uncle Sammi".
Cooper Callender - Ring Bearer
Cooper keeps everyone on their toes with his mischief and charm. He was also the very first family member to ASK to take a picture with Uncle B and Sammi immediately after their engagement.
