Ally Johnston
Ally Johnston - Bridesmaid
Hannah and Ally met at the University of Tulsa on move in day! Not quite as roommates but as neighbors. Ally started out more confident than ever given that she grew up on/around campus and Hannah was immediately intimidated to say the least. However, after settling in and a few late night chats Hannah and Ally quickly became friends and have been there for each other ever since. Whether it was a much needed pep talk, feeling homesick, a boy issue, or just needing a laugh Ally has always come through. Ally is the type of person who will do anything for the people she cares about and Hannah could not feel more honored to have Ally standing up with her on her wedding day!

Hannah and Michelle met when Hannah was a freshman at the University of Tulsa and Michelle was a junior. Hannah immediately felt taken under Michelle's wing as she learned how to navigate college and life on her own. The two worked on the musical "Hair" together as well as attended parties and had sleepovers! Michelle even came to visit Hannah in Oregon for new years once! Since college Michelle and Hannah have kept in touch as they are both pursuing careers in the entertainment industry.

Wade Beall
Wade Beall - Best Man
Wade and Kyle first met through club soccer(Blitz United) and attending the same middle school in Broken Arrow(Centennial). Growing up there was never the question of if they were hanging out that weekend, but rather who's parents were going to have to deal with them! For any trouble Wade got into it was likely due to Kyle as the instigator. Wade attended Oklahoma State University where he received his degree in Computer Science, and recently sold his home in OKC to move closer to friends and family.
Jacob Metzler
Jacob Metzler - Groomsman
Jacob and Kyle met through high school cross country/track and bonded over their competitive spirit and love for family and friends.

Grant Maxey
Grant Maxey - Groomsman
Grant and Kyle first met in high school when the cross country and swim teams would have mixed practices for the purpose of cross training. Their friendship began a few years later when Kyle, hanging out with Jacob learned that Grant was actually Jacobs cousin, and they once again bonded over the all the times Kyle attempted to get out of swim practice. Grant is an avid outdoorsman and enjoys hiking, kayaking and camping trips.
Ben Reed
Ben Reed - Groomsman
Ben and Kyle met as college teammates and eventually becoming college roommates. Ben knew if Kyle was cleaning the apartment at 1030 at night it was because Kyle had homework that he would rather not do. The two managed to adopt a cat unbeknownst to their RA, which also meant their apartment was the hangout spot for the entire team. While living across the country, the two continue to stay in touch over hours of video games. Ben and his finacè, Sydney, will be getting married in October of 2024.
Jonathan Johnson
Jonathan Johnson - Groomsman
Jonathan and Kyle met through mutual friends in college, where Kyle will tell you Jonathan could not stand him at first. Their friendship grew over nights out with friends and good times together, such as one trip to Sedona where they sang Karaoke with the original Barney the dinosaur actor. Being a few years older, Jonathan has been one of those friends that at any time Kyle can call and chat for hours with, hopefully planning their next vacation.
Hank Benson
Hank Benson - Groomsman
Although Hank may be younger than Kyle, since meeting Hannah, he has always viewed Hank as an older brother he is going to gain. Hank is always around the fun whether that be good drinks, good games, or good memories but also takes time to make friends and family a priority. Hank and his wife Ally have the cutest flower girl and niece in their daughter Eliza, who shares a favorite color of yellow with Kyle. Hank is on his fourth year of med school and has taken a special interest in Rheumatology.
Jim Benson
Jim Benson - Groomsman
Jim is Hannah's twin brother who redefines the meaning of being bold. At 19 years old Jim decided he was attending University in Germany and immediately packed a bag and left without even knowing the language. Due to this, Jim has become one of Kyle's favorite people to talk different world views and loves all the different foods Jim brings home on holidays.
Aedan James
Aedan James - Usher
Aedan James (named after a young apple thief) is one of Hannah's best friends of all time. The two met as freshman at the University of Tulsa where they both studied theatre. As the only two non musical theatre majors in the program they grew very close very quickly. However, Hannah and Aedan officially became best friends one night at a party where they bonded over a detached smoke detecter. Since that night Hannah and Aedan have been through all kinds of things together. They took a spring break trip to Florida, performed in numerous shows together, and even lived together off campus senior year! Aedan is also passionate about music, movies, directing, and cooking. He has spent time learning to play the bass as well as the guitar and has probably seen every movie ever made. He is also interested in cooking as he has been a vegetarian for years!
Tyler McCoy
Tyler McCoy - Usher
Tyler is one of Hannah's favorite people of all time! The two met in college where Tyler was Hannah's go to person. They took most classes together, participated in shows, and even vacationed in Florida together. Whether they were watching terrible movies, filming episodes of "Shortner" Tyler and Aedan's highly complex cooking show, or just hanging out and playing hearts, the two always had fun together. Tyler also has other interests as well, They love dogs and are a gifted musician who plays multiple instruments, sings, and even writes music. Tyler is currently living in Texas and teaching theatre to pre-k through 8th grade students!

Miss Eliza will be almost 2 by the time the big day rolls around! She is still growing and changing every day!

Her favorite snacks are cheese and candy canes and her favorite song is Baby Shark, or as she affectionally refers to it "Doo doo" Auntie Haha and Uncle Kyle cannot wait to see her run down the aisle!
