Austin, TX
The wedding party
(AKA Our Favorite People)
Savannah Grace Riddles
Killian William O'Rourke
&
Savannah is originally from Austin, Texas. She's the oldest child and always loved school. So it's no surprise that she met her future husband in her first week of college. She hadn't even finished unpacking her things when she walked into her living room and Killian was on the couch, talking to her roommates. Killian is originally from Madison, Wisconsin. He's the youngest of three children. Killian graduated a semester before Savannah and moved to Alaska for work. Savannah moved to Washington, DC for graduate school, and they planned to live together in small-town Alaska when she graduated. But right before Savannah finished her degree, Killian took a job in Ohio (she's still a little bummed to miss out on Alaska). Now they live in Columbus with their cat Daphne. Savannah and Killian enjoy running, visiting national parks, and traveling to new places. In fact, Killian popped the question at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was pouring rain that day but he still got down on one knee, and she said yes! (Obviously, or else you wouldn't be here).
The Gals
Kimberly Weller
Maid of Honor
Kimberly met the bride in grad school at Georgetown University. Savannah regularly bothers her for free veterinary advice and she always comes through.
Jocelyn Riddles
Bridesmaid
Jocelyn is the bride's younger sister. She's here because she has to be. She calls Savannah when she gets lost in airports, even though the gates are numbered.
Hallie Riddles
Bridesmaid
Hallie is the bride's cousin, born just six weeks apart. They spent the summers together but Savannah never did beat her in Super Mario. She's just too good.
Savannah Gallop
Bridesmaid
Savannah met the bride in college when the bride was her RA. Their names are spelled the same so they were able to reuse eachothers' graduation party decorations.
Christina Dew (left)
Bridesmaid
Christina was the bride's mentor at her first job, and also her first real friend in Columbus. She keeps trying to teach Savannah about bird calls but they all sound the same.
The Guys
Jeremy Freudenberg
Best Man
Jeremy met the bride and groom in college. When Killian broke his foot and needed a mobility scooter to get around campus, Jeremy would steal it and go for joyrides in the snow.
Noah Kaplan
Groomsman
Noah also met the bride and groom in college. He'll do anything for you, even if you just need him to brew a frest "pot of cawffee".
Blake Buck
Groomsman
Blake is the groom's cousin. He's an ultramarathoner so even if he ran to the wedding from Tennessee, he'd probably still make it to Austin in time.
Jacob Caughorn
Groomsman
Jacob is the groom's brother-in-law and the father of the flower girl, Layla. Thank goodness he came around because no one else in the family can cook.
The MVPs
Layla Caughorn
Flower Girl
Layla is the bride and groom's niece. She knows you might be thinking she's too young to be the flower girl, but a lot can change in a year so you just wait and see.
Carter Guerrero
Ring Bearer
Carter is the bride's half-brother. He has made it very clear to Savannah that if the DJ doesn't play Taylor Swift at the wedding, it's gonna be totally lame.
