Sister to the bride. Karlee is the bride’s middle sister and lifelong sidekick, someone who has been by her side through every chapter of life. With her amazing laugh and kind spirit, Karlee brings a warmth and friendliness that instantly puts everyone at ease. Growing up with her was nothing short of fun—filled with inside jokes, endless games, and adventures only sisters can dream up. She’s not just a sister, but a constant source of comfort and joy.

Karlee Taylor

Sister to the bride. Madi is the bride’s youngest sister, and the bride has always said their family wasn’t truly complete until Madi was born. With her quick wit and easygoing nature, Madi is someone the bride could talk to for hours about absolutely anything. Growing up, Madi, the bride, and their sister Karlee would have mini sleepovers, trying—and failing—to muffle their laughter late into the night. Madi is effortlessly cool, refreshingly honest, and fiercely loyal—a sister and a friend all in one.

Madison Hamersly

Friend of the bride and sister of the groom. The bride met Emily through the groom, and she quickly became one of the best parts about joining the family. They bonded effortlessly over their shared love of Hozier, books, and scary movies, often spending time together at concerts or catching the latest film in theaters. Emily is incredibly smart, warm, and welcoming, and she’s made the bride feel like part of the family from the very beginning.

Emily Gralak

Friend of the bride and co-worker. The bride met Kennedy through work, and from the very beginning, their supervisor predicted they’d be great friends. That couldn’t have been more true—after their first hangout, they became inseparable. Kennedy is that rare best friend you’re lucky to find later in life. Together, they watch IndyCar races, explore art and plant markets, and spend countless hours deep in conversation. Kennedy is creative, supportive, and incredibly thoughtful—the kind of friend who feels like a soulmate.

Kennedy Montigaud

Childhood friend of the bride. The bride met Rachel in preschool but didn’t truly connect with her until Rachel eventually gave up pretending to be a cat at recess. From that point on, their friendship took off, built on a shared sense of humor that often left them laughing until they cried. They spent countless hours watching horror movies and The Twilight Zone, and the bride even visited Rachel during her time living in Taiwan. Rachel has been a constant through every stage of the bride’s life—cool, adventurous, and endlessly compassionate.

Rachel Law

Friend of the bride. The bride met Allison through Brianna and Alayna, and it’s been a true blessing ever since. From monthly friend dates filled with wine and sushi to bonding over shared adventures—whether it’s barrel races or quiet evenings in—Allison brings joy and loyalty to every moment. She even gifted the bride her beloved cat, a gesture that speaks to her generous spirit. Thoughtful, kind, and the most dependable friend a girl could ask for, Allison is someone the bride is endlessly grateful to have in her life.

Allison Haley

College friend of the bride. The bride met Alayna in college when they lived just down the hall from each other. One day, Alayna walked up and confidently said, “I think you and me are going to be friends,” to which the bride smiled and replied, “I thought we already were.” That moment sparked a lasting bond. Once the bride secured her first job, they became roommates for a year, raising their dogs together and sharing countless memories. Alayna is the kind of friend everyone hopes for—loyal, fun-loving, and effortlessly friendly.

Alayna Spelman

College friend of the bride. The bride met Brianna in college, but their friendship truly blossomed when the bride moved in with Brianna and her sister. From there, the two quickly bonded over their shared sense of humor, often cracking jokes and dreaming up wildly ridiculous scenarios that only they found hilarious. Brianna’s kindness shone through in small but meaningful ways—like letting the bride’s dog out during her lunch break. She’s fun, genuinely funny, and someone you can always count on.

Brianna Spelman

Leo is one of the groom’s oldest friends and someone who’s always been there for the groom in every stage of life. From adventures walking to get fried chicken during an ice storm, to 3 AM Karaoke in Koreatown, to kicking back and watching new episodes of Adventure Time. Leo has infectious but curious nature that makes it abundantly clear, but also makes you question, how he graduated Ivy League. Always putting others before himself, you couldn’t find a more kind and empathetic person and the groom is forever grateful to call him a friend.

Leo Kim

Childhood friend of the groom. They first met at church as kids and their friendship grew on the teen groups and through college. They’ve been together to watch several major points in their fandoms, from Michael Penix’ Dive vs. Penn State to Tyrese Haliburton’s buzzer-beater vs. the Knicks in game 1 of the ECF. Noah is funny, honest and always been a steady presence  in the grooms life, all while dressing quite fashionably.

Noah Roush

Jack — College Friend of the Groom. The groom met John in college through the fraternity and their shared heights instantly bonded them. Living together senior year and the summer after graduation only strengthened that bond, with many nights spent at The Vid playing pool or watching Ballers while drinking 40oz. PBR’s. He’s such a compassionate friend and along with his humor and endless motor make it an easy decision when he invites you up to Chicago.

Jack Binzer

College friend of the groom. They met through the fraternity and their bond was quite strong from the beginning, as evidenced through relationship of quarterback and receiver in pledge flag-football. That bond has only matured sports-wise into watching lost Premier League weekends on Mass Ave. or catching to an Indy Eleven game. Cam is as warm and kind as person you’ll ever meet, someone who’s effortlessly friendly. 

Cameron Shine

College friend of the groom. The groom met John in college through the fraternity and they became fast friends. They played on the same intramural basketball team and shared the ups-and-downs of IU football and basketball from the stands. John is loyal to the core and has a sharp wit, someone who has your back and makes you laugh while doing so.

John Padgett

College friend of the groom. They met through the fraternity pledge class and the groom knew his infectious energy was going to be a part of his life for a long time. Their friendship solidified over time, from round of Catan after finance class to arguing what position was of greater need for Madden Draft Champions, playing long into the night. Grant is genuinely funny and someone you want in your corner, an honorable and dependable friend.

Grant Hartz

College friend of the groom. They met through the fraternity and quickly bonded through IU Football and guided ‘townie’ tours of Bloomington locals’ spots. They spent many nights together on the porch having a drink, time the groom thinks back on fondly. Dylan is known for his adventurous and fun-loving nature, yet he remains genuine and grounded.

Dylan Wendel

College friend of the groom. They met through the fraternity and lived in the same suite at the house. He put in the long hours listening to the groom’s ‘awful’ music taste, but it meant he could take advantage of the groom’s 45% off Pizza X discount. The groom is so appreciative of Colby’s loyalty and support through it all, as he’s always there to lend an ear or hand.
