RSVP Deadline Update

Thank you so much to everyone who has responded! Our RSVP deadline was June 1st, 2025, and that date has now passed. We are no longer able to accept additional RSVPs, as final guest counts have been submitted to our vendors to ensure everything is planned smoothly. We truly appreciate your understanding, and we can't wait to celebrate with everyone who's joining us! 💍✨

Unplugged Ceremony

We kindly ask all our guests to join us in having an unplugged ceremony. This means no phones, cameras, or devices out during this special moment. We’ve invested in an incredible photographer and videographer (over $3,500!) to capture the beauty, emotions, and memories of our day. We want them to document everyone fully present in the moment, without the distraction of phones in the air. During the reception, you are welcome to use your phones to capture the fun! However, we kindly ask that you respect our photographer and videographer while they’re working. Please keep phones out of their way, especially during key moments like the first dance, wedding party entrance, speeches, cake cutting, and other highlights. If they ask you to step aside or move, we’d greatly appreciate your cooperation. Thank you for helping us create a beautiful and distraction free ceremony and for respecting the professionals we’ve entrusted to document this unforgettable day. Your presence means the world to us, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Wedding Day Schedule/Info

Welcome to our wedding website! Were so excited to share this special time in our lives with all of you. Our story began on October 23, 2019, when we first met. It didn’t take long for us to realize we had something special, and by November 24, 2019, we officially started dating. Fast forward to a magical day on February 22, 2022, when we got engaged and began planning for our forever. We share our home and hearts with our two dogs, Parker and Marvin, who both bring endless joy (and a bit of chaos) to our lives. Keegan is a dedicated nurse who finds joy in helping others, while Tyler works as a paramedic, thriving in the fast-paced world of emergency medicine. Together, we’re a team both in life and in our careers, sharing a love for caring for others. Thank you for being part of our journey. We can’t wait to celebrate our love with all of you on our big day!

Our Story

Keegan’s Wedding Party

My better halves since birth. We may all have our very own different tastes, careers, and hobbies but we are very much alike in so many ways. We know exactly what we’re all going to say or do at anytime. We may argue but it’s with all good intentions. ❤️😂

Kaden & Kailey Rowland

Lauren brings her lowkey jokes and dark humor. She loves crafting and creating new things. She has been so supportive of Keegan & Tyler as they take this adventure. 

Lauren Rowland

Kody is the 2nd eldest in the family. He always brings funny jokes & humor to the family. He’s always been there for me when most needed. So happy to have him on our special day.

Kody Rowland

Ashlee has been Keegan’s support and friend ever since she came into his life. She has always been supportive of him and Tyler throughout their relationship. We are so happy for her to be part of our wedding party on our special day!

Ashlee Putt-Rowland

Brandon is the eldest in the family. Since day one he has always been by our sides. He looks intimidating but he’s actually a teddy bear. He & his wife have given our family our first nephew! Without you, life would be different. You’ve shown me what to do & not to do. So very much excited to have you on our special day.

Tyler’s Wedding Party

Betsy has been by my side since day one, always supporting me through thick and thin. She’s been there for the highs and the lows, offering advice, laughter, and sometimes just the perfect corny joke to brighten my day. Her incredible sense of humor and ability to light up any room make her one of the most extraordinary people in my life.

Betsy isn’t just my Best Woman—she’s my rock, my cheerleader, and one of the most genuine people I’ve ever known. Whether we’re sharing ridiculous laughs or having deep, meaningful conversations, she has always been my number one.

I can’t imagine this journey without her by my side. On this special day, I am beyond grateful to have her standing with me, sharing in the joy and love that this moment represents. Thank you, Betsy, for being not just my Best Woman, but one of the greatest blessings in my life.

Betsy Hainsey

Ben may have only come into my life in 2024, but it feels like we’ve known each other forever. He’s not just a friend...he’s someone I can share my passions with, especially when it comes to our careers. Ben and I share the same drive and commitment to what we do, which has made our bond even stronger.

And let’s not forget his fiancée, Chloe, though we all know it’s just a matter of time before she’s officially his wife! Together, they’re a total hoot, and hanging out with them is always full of laughter, good times, and unforgettable moments.

What I love about my friendship with Ben is how effortless it is. We can go a few days without talking, and when we pick up again, it’s like no time has passed. He’s loyal, genuine, and always has a way of bringing light to any situation.

Having Ben as a part of my wedding is incredibly meaningful. I couldn’t imagine this day without him standing by my side, celebrating and supporting me like he always does. Thanks, Ben, for being such an amazing friend and groomsman. I’m so grateful for you and everything you bring to my life!

Ben Grow

Jackie has been a part of my life for about five years, and in that time, she has become one of my biggest supporters and closest friends. She’s not just a friend—she’s like an aunt to me, and her kids even call me “Uncle.” They’ve taught me so much and helped me prepare for the day I bring a young one into my life.

It’s crazy how God puts people in your life for unknown reasons, but Jackie has definitely made her reason known. She’s always a phone call away, ready to listen to my rants, hear out my troubles, and cheer me on through every crazy idea I decide to tackle. From late-night phone calls and unplanned visits to her house to late-night hot tub hangouts with her family and friends, Jackie has been there for it all.

We’ve shared long talks, endless laughter, tears, and everything in between...whether we’re bitching about life or celebrating its joys. Her unwavering support and kindness mean the world to me. 

Jackie isn’t just a groomsmaid. She’s a constant source of encouragement, love, and light in my life. I couldn’t imagine this special day without her by my side. Thank you, Jackie, for being such an incredible part of my journey and for standing with me on this unforgettable day.



Jackie Solic

Crazy to think how far we’ve come! We were “friends” for a short period, then turned into enemies thanks to an unmeaningful person (seriously, what were we thinking?). But life has a funny way of showing you what truly matters, and we both realized how wonderful it is to have each other in our lives.

Chloe is one of those rare people who brings light and laughter wherever she goes. She’s smart, supportive, and always knows how to keep things real. We’ve shared some wild times running crazy long nights at work together, seeing each other at our absolute worst but still managing to pull through with strength and humor. Chloe has been there to support me during tough calls, rough days, and those moments when mental health felt like a challenge to navigate.

Her ability to be both a rock and a source of joy is something I value deeply. I’m so grateful for the bond we’ve built, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her standing by my side. Thank you, Chloe, for being amazing, for always having my back, and for proving that real friendship can overcome anything!

Chloe Neal

Don’t let the name fool you—Grandma J isn’t really my grandma, but she’s earned the nickname. I haven’t known her for very long, and truthfully, I used to be a little scared of her. But over time, we’ve grown on each other, and now she’s become one of my closest people. Some might even say she’s my best friend—but she won’t let me officially claim that title just yet! She has supported every wild idea I’ve come up with, always been just a phone call away, and stood by me through it all.

Jamie “Grandma J” Gillen

My sister and my partner-in-crime growing up. We went through some crazy stuff together, but no matter what, we always had each other’s backs. We’ve told each other everything, stuck together through it all—sneaking food, sneaking out, and even those times when she decided to run away (don’t worry, we can laugh about it now). Through the good, the bad, and the funny, she’s always been right there with me.

Tierra Bender

Our Greatest Supporters

Mom & Dad have been Keegan’s rock since birth. They’ve endured it all together. Keegan’s dad brings so much life experience to his kids. Keegan’s mom brings so much to the table as well. She has been there since day one rooting all her kids along. No matter what, both have been there through the toughest of times. They deserve special recognition ❤️

Kent & Tammy Rowland

Mary & Paul are Keegan’s grandparents on his mother’s side. They have so many good times such as going to kinzu lake and boating. Each deserve special recognition. ❤️

Mary Powley  & Paul Pantano 

Grandma & Grandpa Rowland have a special place in the groom’s heart. So many stories about being on the Rowland Acres Dairy Farm. Both have shown 67 years of love & marriage. Keegan’s grandfather has been deceased since 2022. Each deserve recognition on the special day. ❤️

Norma & Donald Rowland

Grammy is one of the most incredible woman I know! Her love, wisdom, and unwavering support have shaped me into the person I am today. She’s the heart of our family and always knows how to make everyone feel loved and cherished. Having her be part of this special day means the world to me. 

Donna (Grammy) Bender

Mom and Dad have been my greatest sources of love, strength, and support throughout my life. Mom’s kindness and wisdom, paired with Dad’s steadfast encouragement and care, have shaped me into the person I am today. Whether it’s Mom’s warm hugs or Dad always answering my calls and checking in, they’ve both been there for me in every way that matters. I’m incredibly grateful for the unconditional love and dedication they’ve shown, and I’m honored to have them by my side as we celebrate this special moment.

David & Laura Bender

Linda Smeal

Wedding Party

Brittany Nicole

Brittany Nicole Socash was a dear friend whose warmth, laughter, and kind heart touched everyone she met. Tragically, she passed away in 2021 due to a motor vehicle accident, but her memory continues to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Brittany had a way of making people feel special, and her vibrant spirit could brighten even the darkest days. On this special day, we honor her life and the impact she had on all of us, keeping her close in our hearts as we celebrate love and friendship.

Thomas Smeal (Pap)

Tylers grandfather, Thomas Smeal, was an incredible man who left a lasting mark on my life. He passed away in 2020, but his lessons and love remain with me every day. He taught me so much, from working on small engines to the joys of gardening, always sharing his wisdom with a good laugh along the way. I’ll always cherish the memories of being his eyes when he couldn’t see well and the fun of sneaking cookies with him when no one was looking. He had a way of making every moment special, and his love and humor made life brighter. Today, as I celebrate this new chapter, I carry his memory in my heart, knowing he’s watching over us with a smile.

Donald Rowland

Keegan’s grandfather, Donald, passed away in October of 2022. He was a mentor to him. He also was a man of few words. One of his favorite memories was when his grandfather would take him for rides on the John Deere 4030 tractor. He &amp; Norma Rowland have shown love of over 60 years. They have many kids, grandkids, great grandkids, and even great-great grandkids. Donald worked on his dairy farm many years until it perished in a fire. He has shown Keegan what hard work and dedication is and to always be an honest man.

Charles (Jerry) Hewitt

Jerry was Keegan's uncle. He recently unexpectedly passed away early December 2024. Keegan and his siblings have so many fond memories together with him. He would always be there during their summers off, just hanging out, working on things down at their fathers shop at the time. Jerry was a man who lived life to the fullest, always partying hard no matter what time of day. So many stories. He left an imprint not just on Keegan's life but everyone who was around him. Even though he may not be there in person, he will be there in spirit.

There are so many others to mention. There will be a table dedicated to those who we lost.
