Corey isn’t just Kayla’s unofficial sister — she’s her cousin and lifelong bestie. Together they’ve collected a lifetime’s worth of memories: Wii dance battles, backyard cheer routines, camping trips, and some horrible yet unforgettable bus-stop concerts. But above all the laughter, Kayla’s favorite moments have been watching Corey grow in her faith in God — and getting to grow alongside her. Kayla couldn’t be prouder of the woman Corey is today, but she knows the best is yet to come. Keep a look out, her maid of honor speech is guaranteed to be packed with embarrassing stories. Plot twist: Corey is also the mother of the best ring security around.

If you ever need a late night drive jam session, Olivia is the best DJ around. Kayla and Olivia love to belt classic Disney channel songs (yes, it’s mandatory to specify and yes, they do duets). From many days enjoying grapes straight off the vine and backyard tent camping to sushi dates and late night food runs, Kayla and Olivia are inseparable. So inseparable that Olivia became the couple’s honorary third wheel for many date nights. If it involves food, fun and music, you can count Olivia in. Olivia has a huge heart and an even bigger sense of humor. She truly brings the party with her wherever she goes and Kayla couldn’t be prouder to have someone like Olivia stand beside her.

Everyone needs a friend that can convince you vampire tours and death museum adventures in New Orleans is a great idea. Jenna is always the first to say "let's do it" and the last to judge when it goes slightly off the rails. Jenna gives the kind of advice that fixes your life and ruins your mascara, the queen of "spilling tea" and the ultimate partner-in-chaos turned voice of reason. Jenna is equal parts chaos, comfort, and comic relief and Kayla couldn't survive this wedding or life without her.

Payton may not have known Kayla her whole life but Kayla has known Payton for all of hers. Starting way back when Kayla was changing her diapers, fast forward a few years, and now she's the one knee deep in diapers with her own little ones. Payton has an infectious laugh and a sense of adventure that's gotten them into a few too many questionable late-night missions (mostly catching cheaters - don’t ask)! Payton's actually one of the main reasons Austin and Kayla met, so technically this whole wedding might just be her fault - in the best way possible!

Emma's the calm, collected one until someone says game night. Then all bets are off. If you need a pep talk, a drink, or a vacation planner, she's your girl. Emma and Kayla spent a lot of time apart while Emma was out becoming one of the smartest people Kayla knows (she even has one of those fancy Master’s degrees). However, Kayla's favorite memories are the Frogger game battles, the muddy Rhino adventures, and the countless hours of playing pretend in the pink playhouse out back. Everything about Emma reflects compassion, strength and genuine kindness. She has this rare ability to make people feel understood, without even trying. Emma will always be Kayla's first and favorite “made in the backyard” bestie or as our parents would say "ditch buddies”.

If you look up "Kayla's personal cheerleader" in the dictionary, you would find Deedee's name in big bold letters. Deedee has supported and stuck by Kayla through everything life has thrown their way. From their childhood days of collecting webkinz and spending far too much time online playing with them to the hardest times in Kayla's life. Deedee has never left Kayla's side, not even during her cancer journey. She managed to double as Kayla's unofficial home care nurse through both her hip surgeries. She even survived "The Great Toilet Rescue of 2017" - a true tale of love, laughter, and leverage - just ask them, they'd love to tell you! Deedee has the kindest heart, gives endlessly without expecting anything in return, and has a way of making even the hardest days a little bit lighter.

Sophia and Kayla met at Camp Happy Days, they were just two strangers with big hearts, questionable dance moves, and one mission: helping kids forget cancer for a while and just be kids. Between arts and crafts chaos and team building battles, they became instant besties and the rest is pure magic. Sophia is the human equivalent of the sunshine emoji. Known for her bubbly energy, welcoming spirit, and a smile that lights up any room she is in. Every time they are together, singing the “Sophia The First” theme song is a must.

Valerie is Austin's niece, the best man’s daughter, and the pint-sized boss of them both. She lives for any opportunity to mess with her dad and Austin even if it’s just giving them a hard time. Austin loves to pretend he's in charge, but everyone knows Valerie runs the show... Austin still tries his best to get even by making her chase a red laser like a cat (Yes, she falls for it every time.) With her big personality, even bigger attitude, and a sprinkle of mischief, Valerie is the perfect flower girl. If anyone could steal the show, it’s her.

Johnathon (AKA Johnny) isn't just the best man- he's Austin's little brother, and lifelong partner in every questionable decision they've ever made. No matter if they are gaming, hunting or just giving each other grief for fun, these two are always in each other's corner. Although, Austin quickly learned never to save a deer for Johnny because if you do, he will show up and somehow leave with two. He loves to make people laugh and is actually pretty good at it. On top of all that he is the father of the cutest flower girl ever.

Luke may technically be Austin’s cousin, but at this point he is basically a bonus brother. The two of them have grown even closer through hunting - mainly turkey and squirrel hunts where the success rate is questionable, but the laughs are guaranteed. Even if they come home empty handed, they always bring home a good story. Don't let the hunting boots fool you though, Luke's got talent. He's genuinely a good singer and musician. Well dressed, well mannered, and always put together, Luke’s the guy who can go from the woods to a wedding without missing a beat and Austin couldn't be happier to have him stand beside him.

Branden "B-Rad" may have married into the family, but honestly, it feels like he's been there forever - probably because he fits right in. Gaming with Branden is a full-contact comedic experience - he's hilarious, loud, and never shy about letting the entire room know exactly how he feels about that last round. He is also the king of dramatic rage quits. If a game pushes his buttons, he'll uninstall it instantly… only to reinstall it a week later, ready to probably lose again. But hey, it's all part of the fun. Underneath the theatrics, he's a rock-solid reliable friend - always someone you can count on. All-in-all Branden's a blast to be around - equal parts fun, chaos, and comedy gold.

Austin (aka “Little” Austin) is one of Austin’s (Groom) many wild cousins. If it has wheels, wires, or any chance of making noise, you can bet “Little” Austin is already elbow-deep in it, convinced he can bring it back to life. “Little” Austin is the human equivalent of a plot twist: you never know what he'll say or do next, but you know it will be memorable. Don't let his nickname fool you: his competitive streak is massive. He will do whatever it takes to win, doesn’t matter if it’s playing video games or racing four wheelers. Unpredictable, unstoppable, and unforgettable - that's “Little” Austin. This wedding wouldn't be nearly as entertaining without him.

Jacob started as one of Austin's closest friends who somehow leveled up to family - No paperwork required. If he’s not mudding and sinking four-wheelers like it’s his part time job, he's busy shocking everyone with how much he actually knows about those four-wheelers he keeps turning into submarines. Jacob is the life of the party and always ready to joke around, stir up chaos or bust out his best dance moves from some free food. Having him as a groomsman? easiest choice Austin’s ever made aside from marrying Kayla obviously.

Jett and Austin go way back to their Hometelecom days-Where they spent more time laughing than working but still managed to get paid for it, until Jett left. Now they catch up on mini adventures, whether it’s a quick trip to Myrtle Beach or Texas Roadhouse where he proudly orders a plain hotdog. Grilled cheese? best believe if there is one in a 10 mile radius he's ordering it. Any chance he gets you can find Jett fixing up his truck, shining it to perfection just to immediately go muddy it up again. Jett's a straight shooting guy who tells it like it is - whether you asked or not, which makes him the perfect pick for a groomsman.

If you've ever crossed paths with Cody, you know exactly why we call him uncle cody. He's the rare kind of friend who shows up before you even finish asking for help. Flat tire? He's there. Your four wheeler broke down? He's already trying to figure out how to fix it. Fortnite team need a carry? Say less. Uncle Cody is the perfect mix of fun and responsible adulting. He can turn a regular hangout into a comedy show, while somehow making sure no one ends up in the ER or on the missing persons list by the end of the night. He's respectful, kind and genuinely one of the easiest people in the world to be around - unless you're a four wheeler at River Neck. Then he’s your worst nightmare... Mudding, riding, sinking a ride or two... Uncle Cody treats Off-roading like a full contact sport. When he’s not out destroying Off-road Machinery, you can probably find him outside working on Something in his shed, gaming or binge watching movies. Basically, Uncle Cody is family by Choice, Chaos by hobby, Kindness by nature and a top-tier groomsman by default.
