Our Wedding Party
We’ve gathered some of the funniest, kindest, and slightly crazy people we know to stand by our sides on the big day—and somehow, they all said yes! From childhood friends to family, each one has made our lives brighter, our adventures wilder, and our memories unforgettable. And of course, we can’t forget the littlest members of our crew—Tyde, Bhodi, and Mateo as our ring bearers, and Violet and Daisy as our flower girls—who will make the day even more magical.
To kick things off in true “us” fashion, my brothers Jeremy and Billy will be handing out Jell-O shots before the flower girls make their entrance (because what better way to set the tone for the party?).
We couldn’t imagine celebrating without this amazing crew, so get ready for love, laughter, and maybe just a little chaos!
__________________________
Jeremy Smidt - Brother of the Bride
Jeremy has always been the kind of brother I could count on, whether it was making me laugh when I needed it most or simply being there through every stage of life. He’s always had my back, and I feel so lucky to have him by my side for this day. On the wedding day, he’ll be teaming up with Billy to hand out Jell-O shots before the flower girls make their entrance—because who better than my brothers to set the tone for the party?
Bill Busby - Brother of the Bride
Billy has always been there when I’ve needed him most. When I moved to Oregon, he took me in and helped me get back on my feet, something I’ll always be grateful for. Beyond that, he’s been part of so many of our favorite memories, and it only feels right that he’s part of this one too. On the wedding day, Billy will be teaming up with Jeremy to hand out Jell-O shots before the flower girls come down the aisle—because he’s not just supportive, he’s also the life of the party.
Devin Morgan - Best Man
Devin is my younger brother, and despite our age gap, we’ve always had a close bond. He’s funny, driven, and always keeps life interesting (like the time he chased me around with a knife). Over the years, our relationship has only grown stronger, which is exactly why Devin is standing as Best Man. There’s no one better suited for the role than the brother who’s been by my side through it all.
Amanda Busby - Maid of Honor
Amanda is my big sister and truly the best one I could ask for. Even with our age gap (and the miles between us with her living in Michigan), she has always been there when I needed her most. We’ve made some of the best memories on our adventures together, and I couldn’t imagine anyone else standing beside me as Maid of Honor.
David Summers - Groomsman
Honestly, neither of us can remember the first time we met—it just feels like David’s always been around. From the start, we’ve always hit it off. He’s one of the most outgoing, hilarious people you’ll ever meet, and he has a way of making every moment more fun. There’s no way I could have this day without him standing by my side.
Dixielee Hayes - Bridesmaid
Dixielee and I go all the way back to 7th grade science class, and from the very first time we hung out, we were inseparable. Through high school and beyond, she’s been one of the wildest, funniest, and most loyal friends I’ve ever had. Life may have pulled us separate ways, but she’ll always be one of my best people.
Nate Smith - Groomsman
I met Nate the summer going into high school, and he’s been making life loud and entertaining ever since. He’s definitely on the crazy side, but in the best way—he knows how to turn just about anything into a good time. Having him in the wedding party just feels right, because it wouldn’t be the same without his energy.
Natalie Robertson - Bridesmaid
I’ve known Natalie since 8th grade, and she’s been part of my closest circle ever since. Even after moving to Mississippi for a while, she jumped right back in with us like no time had passed. Natalie is one of the most kind-hearted souls (with a little bit of crazy too—just like the rest of us). She’s also an incredible photographer who has captured so many of our favorite memories together.
Ricky Wysong - Groomsman
Ricky and I have been friends since I was a kid, back when my parents were building our house out in the woods. He’s got a big personality and knows how to influence a room, and we definitely got into a few questionable situations back then—let’s just say we kept things interesting. Having him by my side on the wedding day just feels right.
Brooke Delfavero - Bridesmaid
I met Brooke on one of the hardest nights of my life, and she immediately stepped in to take care of me. From that night on, we were inseparable until I moved to Oregon, and even after moving back she remains one of my closest friends. Brooke is sweet, protective, and brings nothing but good energy into every room.
Luis Cevallos-Cortes - Groomsman
Luis and I go all the way back to middle school, and even after all these years, we still pick up right where we left off. These days he’s a busy dad to Mateo (one of our ring bearers) and his twin girls, Natalia and Camila, and of course, he’s got his hands full with Emily too. But no matter how much life has changed, every time we hang out it’s guaranteed to be a good time.
Destane Hepp - Bridesmaid
I met Destane when I was living in Oregon, and she quickly became the friend I didn’t know I needed. From working side by side to gym sessions and dinners, we pretty much spent every day together. She was also my go-to drinking buddy, and so many of my best Oregon memories have her in them.
Chance Vixler - Groomsman
Chance and I go all the way back to elementary school, and over the years he became more like family than just a friend. I even tagged along on a bunch of his family vacations, and he was instantly part of mine too. He’s always been one of the best people you’ll ever meet, and having him stand with me on this day just makes sense.
Marissa Husslein - Bridesmaid
We met Marissa at a music festival through my brother, and we instantly hit it off. After realizing she lived in the same town, we started hanging out and the friendship has been effortless ever since. She is one of the kindest, most selfless people you’ll ever meet. Her son, Bhodi, will also be part of our special day—he will be joining Mateo and our son Tyde to walk together as the ring bearers.
Kurtis King - Groomsman
Kurtis and I met back in high school when I used to throw parties, and he was part of the friend group. We clicked right away, and before long he was coming out on the weekends just to hang out. He’s always there when you need him, whether it’s to help with a project or just to have your back. I’m lucky to have him standing by my side on the big day.
Gracie Morrison - Bridesmaid
Gracie and I go way back to middle school, and while she didn’t like me much at first, I eventually grew on her. Over the years, we’ve become closer than ever. She’s outgoing, funny, and never afraid to speak her mind—and I feel lucky to have her by my side.
Kurtis & Gracie's Story
We’ve been friends with Kurtis and Gracie since high school, where we all shared the same friend group. While Tyler and I had gotten together back then, it wasn’t until a few years later that these two finally became a couple—and it just made sense. They’re both outgoing, hilarious, and never afraid to say what’s on their mind, which makes them such a fun pair to be around. We’re so lucky to have them by our side on our wedding day—Gracie as a bridesmaid and Kurtis as a groomsman (and of course, walking together, just as it should be!).
Jace McCune - Groomsman
I met Jace in high school when we went to separate schools but ran into each other at parties with friends, and we instantly hit it off. Even now, as a dad, we still have a great relationship, and it’s awesome to see his girls already loving our little Tyde. I’m lucky to have him standing with me on the big day.
Rayne McCune - Bridesmaid
Rayne and I first met during my freshman year of high school, and we always clicked. But it wasn’t until I started dating Tyler (who was already good friends with Jace) that we got even closer. Since then, we’ve shared so many milestones, and now we get to share this one together too!
Jace & Rayne's Story
Rayne and Jace have been together even longer than we have, and fun fact—we actually share the same anniversary date! We’ve celebrated together more than once, which makes it even more special to have them as part of our big day. We’ve known them since high school, and over the years they’ve become some of the kindest and funniest people to have in our lives (just don’t get on their bad side 😉). Along with being a bridesmaid and groomsman, they’re also sharing two of the sweetest gifts with us—their twin girls, Violet and Daisy, who will be our flower girls!
Our Little Crew
No wedding party would be complete without the cutest members of all—the kids! They’ll be stealing the show (and everyone’s hearts) as they make their way down the aisle.
__________________________
Violet & Daisy - Flower Girls
Violet and Daisy are Rayne and Jace’s twin girls, and they’re as sweet as they are beautiful. With their big smiles and matching energy, they’ll be the perfect pair to scatter petals and set the stage for the bride.
Tyde - Ring Bearer
Our sweet boy Tyde is the heart of our world, and we couldn’t imagine this day without him. He’ll be walking down the aisle as the main one of our ring bearers, making the moment even more special for us.
Bhodi - Ring Bearer
Bhodi, Marissa’s son, will be walking alongside Tyde as a ring bearer. He’s full of energy and personality, and these boys together are sure to bring smiles to everyone’s faces.
Mateo - Ring Bearer
Mateo, Luis’s son, will also be joining in as a ring bearer. He’s adorable, funny, and just the right amount of mischief—we can’t wait to see him charm the crowd on our big day.
