Our Wedding

Although, the list of people that Brianna and Dylan knew intertwined significantly, they had never even heard of each other until their paths crossed for the very first time on November 10th, 2018.   Brianna hosted an outdoor, fall engagement party for two mutual friends. A party for which Dylan did not RSVP (still a sore spot with Brianna.) When he arrived at the party, he immediately turned on the TV in her living room to watch the Hogs game. He still maintains this was the right move because it was the LSU game. Needless to say, Dylan earned the respect of all the guys at the party because while he wasn't the only one that wanted to watch the game, he was the only one brave enough to turn the TV on during one of Brianna's parties. Even though the Hogs lost, he was inadvertently able to catch Brianna's attention even if it was not for the best of reasons.   One DM slide later (to RSVP to the party on his way home, Brianna adds) and they were having our first date on New Years Eve.   Two years later their story is filled with all sorts of moments, both happy and not so happy moments, but all make them the couple that they are today. They have celebrated the marriage of friends and mourned the loss of loved ones. Brianna has taught Dylan social etiquette ( like how to RSVP for events ;) ) and he taught her how to make gravy from scratch. She taught him how to decorate a Christmas tree and he taught her how to process a deer. One thing that has remained consistent is they still watch (almost every) Razorback football game together. Most importantly, they have taught each other how to love unconditionally.   We are looking forward to this next season of our lives and can't wait to celebrate with our family and friends!

Hot Springs Happenings

Bridesmaids

Brianna and Abby have been friends for as long as they can remember. Together through it all from growing up in the church nursery, surviving the awkward preteen years, to attempting to navigate this thing called adulthood, Brianna couldn't imagine saying "I do" without Abby by her side. These days you can find Abby being an amazing mom to her two daughters and dog mom to Chico, exploring Arizona, or jamming out to either a Disney soundtrack or broadway show. 

Abigail McCormack

Brianna and Hanna met in 2013, when they were attending UCA and pledged to the same sorority, Delta Zeta. Many memories made at greek functions and back yard hangouts in college to game nights and nights on the river- their friendship has only grown and brought them closer over the years. Nowadays, you can find Hanna doing what she loves as an OT, taking care of her dogs, Ada, Annabelle, and the beagles, or keeping Dylan and her husband Drew in line. 

Hanna Smith

Brianna and Shelby met as pledges of Delta Zeta in 2013 when during one of their pledge events, Shelby looked at Brianna and said "wanna ride together?" Who could have guessed that comment would lead to sharing a dorm, an apartment, a house, and more memories than they can count. When Shelby isn't teaching, she can be found binge watching The Office, playing with her puppy Willow, and preparing for her baby boy Carson to make his arrival. 

Shelby Dobbins

Brianna and Mallori also met as pledges of Delta Zeta in 2013, and hit it off right away. Although they didn't officially live together until their junior year of college, you could always find them together and making memories. When Mallori isn't teaching, you can find her spending her free time being a dog mom to Margo, spending time with her husband, and taking care of those around her. 

Mallori Thompson

Brianna and Hayley had briefly met while in college, but it wasn't until Brianna and Dylan started dating that their relationship really started to grow. Hayley is always down for a game night, girls day, or hanging out on the river. Hayley spends her days as an ER nurse, dog mom to Ellie, and enjoying newly-wed life as 1/2 of "The Dobbers."

Hayley Jobe

Groomsman

Dylan and Tyler met at church when they were 12 years old. With mutual interests in the outdoors, sports, and music, their friendship evolved into a strong one. During duck season you can find Tyler at Dylan's house, when its not duck season Tyler will be playing Call of Duty.

Tyler Holmes

Dylan and Drew have been friends for most of their lives. As kids they could be found camping in the woods by the creek, riding bikes around town with no destination in mind, or on the baseball field. Nowadays they can be found in the duck woods, jigging for crappie, or planning some extravagant adventure that usually doesn't go as planned.

Drew Smith

Flanny, as everyone knows him, started playing baseball with Dylan when they were 4 years old. One unique thing about the pair is that they warmed up together before every baseball practice and game for as long as they can remember. They were two peas in a pod on the baseball field, and Dylan does his best not to hound Flanny about how crappy his batting average was. 

Joseph Flanagan

Dylan and Jordan met for the first time on a duck hunt, when their buddy Drew brought Jordan to town. While they weren't close at first, they have developed a friendship that knows no bounds. When Jordan isn't, "trying" to sale a house, he can be found at the lake with his family, ironing his skinny jeans, or with the rest of the crew on one of their many adventures.

Jordan McKay

Josh (Dob) and Dylan have known each other since high school, Dob is a few years younger than Dylan but they played on the same football team when Dylan was a senior. As with the rest of the crew, Dylan and Dob became friends because of their mutual interest in chasing ducks, but now their friendship is one that goes beyond the duck woods. When Dob isn't hooking people up with exceptional HVAC work, he can be found in a tree missing deer with his bow, driving his boat real slow, or piddling around in his shop. 

Josh Jobe

Ring Bearer and Flower Girls

Amelia, "Millie",  is Brianna's honorary niece. She marches to the beat of her own drum, enjoys getting into whatever her sister is doing, and loves playing with her puppy, Chico. She is looking forward to making her flower girl debut.

Amelia McCormack

Elsa is Brianna's honorary niece. She enjoys being in the spotlight, showing off her artistic abilities, and playing with her puppy, Chico. She is looking forward to making her flower girl debut. 

Elsa McCormack

Luke is Brianna and Dylan's first nephew. He is so special, he has had this job since before he even made his arrival. Luke spends all his time sleeping, eating, and getting lots of cuddles. 

Luke Williams

Ushers

Aidan is Dylan's soon to be brother-in-law. Aidan is a crafty fella that can do just about anything with his hands. Dylan and Aidan met for the first time at dinner before Brianna and Dylan's first date. In Aidan's free time he can be found building retaining walls or pool house, ordering stuff off of Amazon, or helping out a friend with a project.

Aidan Hansen

Sam, bless his heart, is Dylan's brother-in-law. Sam and Dylan have known each other since around 2005 and were some hellions together in high school. One of their favorite memories together is the time that they had to paint the bathroom in the shop at school. Ask one of us to tell you the story, its a pretty good one.

Sam Williams

House Party

Although they were pledge sisters, it wasn't until Brianna moved in right down the hall of "Crunk-Michael" that her and Rachels relationship took off. Brianna hardly has any memories from college that don't involve Rachel, but some of the most important ones involve late night Taco Bell runs. In true wander spirit fashion, since graduation Rachel has lived in Alaska and currently lives in Colorado, and while we are so proud of her and the work she does as an SLP, we are all very glad she's a little closer to home, but secretly wishing she would make her way back to Arkansas. 

Rachel Garrison

Brianna and Naomi are Delta Zeta sorority sisters and lived right down the hall from each other in "Crunk-Michael." Naomi's bright and bubbly personality is infectious and you are always going to have a good time when she is around. When Naomi isn't shaping young minds, you'll find her staying up to date on all the latest fashion trends, binge watching reality tv, or spending time with her friends and family. 

Naomi Guzman

Katie is the wife of Dylans's best friend, Tyler, and has quickly become one of Brianna's closest friends. On the weekends Katie and Brianna are not getting in trouble for talking during the razorback games, you'll find her at a rodeo competing as a barrel racer, hanging with her pups, Tate and Tyson, or currently in the middle of remodeling her kitchen.

Katie Holmes

Laura and Brianna met as freshman at UCA when they both pledged Delta Zeta. Laura is a true friend and sweet soul, but also always knows how to  bring the good times. Laura spends her time traveling with her boo, cycling, and loving on her pup.

Laura Maxwell

Shelby is Brianna's soon to be sister-in-law. Shelby gives plenty of tips on how to keep Dylan in check. She enjoys shopping, spoiling her dogs, and being crafty. These days you'll find, Shelby and her hubby, Sam,  soaking up all the newborn cuddles from their baby boy, Luke.
