Taryn Epp
Taryn and Bree met in eighth grade, when their friendship was sparked in gym class. From that day forward, they’ve been inseparable—through thick and thin, laughter and tears, adventures and quiet moments. Taryn has been there through it all, always a phone call or a hug away, and Bree knows she can always count on her. Whether they're spending hours doing absolutely nothing or embarking on new adventures, there's no one better to be with. It’s a bond that doesn’t need words to be understood, and Taryn has the rare gift of seeing Bree for all that she is—flaws, quirks, and all. From her tendency to disappear off the radar for weeks at a time (sorry, text message chains!) to her zombie-like state post-night shifts, Bree can always count on Taryn to love her unconditionally. When anxiety strikes, when things don’t go as planned, Taryn never judges—she simply offers her calming presence and support, making Bree feel seen and loved, exactly as she is.
Taryn’s been not only a best friend, but a planning partner throughout this entire journey, and Bree can’t imagine a more perfect person to stand beside her on the big day. Her organization skills are legendary—after all, she’s had a Pinterest board for this wedding for years! Bree is endlessly grateful for Taryn’s thoughtfulness, her patience, and the way she always knows exactly what Bree needs—whether it's a shoulder to cry on, a laugh to share, or a well-timed motivational speech. There’s no one else Bree would rather have next to her on this monumental day. Here's to Taryn—her sister in spirit, her best friend, and the one who has made this journey unforgettable. ❤️
Alanah McPherson
Alanah McPherson, Bree’s big sister and Matron of Honour, has been by her side through every stage of life. From childhood mischief to navigating the ups and downs of adulthood, Alanah has been a constant, offering love and support without hesitation. She’s the type of person who will do anything to make sure her loved ones are happy, always putting others’ needs before her own. Growing up, Bree and Alanah shared countless memories—teasing their younger brother Avery, getting into mischief, and being each other’s go-to person for any problem, no matter how big or small. Through it all, they’ve rarely been at odds, always standing by each other no matter what life threw their way.
As Bree’s big sister, Alanah’s love and thoughtfulness are unmatched, and Bree is so proud of the woman Alanah has become. Watching her with her own beautiful family—Maverick, Remmick, and Brynley—has only deepened Bree’s admiration for her. Bree is beyond excited to have Alanah and her family present on this special day, knowing that Alanah will continue to offer the same unwavering support as she has throughout their lives.
There is no one Bree would rather have standing by her on this monumental day. Alanah’s kindness, strength, and deep sense of family are a gift, and Bree feels incredibly blessed to have her in her life. With Alanah at her side, Bree is reminded of just how lucky she is to be surrounded by such love and to have such a special bond with her sister. ❤️
Julie Nagora
Julie may be a new member of the family as Bree’s brother Avery’s wonderful wife, but their friendship has become something special in its own right. What started as simply knowing each other through Avery quickly turned into countless shared nights of laughter, stories, and unforgettable moments. Julie is always up for a good time, whether it’s a spontaneous adventure or just relaxing with great conversation.
Over time, she’s become someone Bree knows they can always count on, making life a little more fun and a lot more entertaining. Bree is so grateful to have her not just as family, but as a friend—and there’s no doubt the wedding day will be even better with Julie by their side!❤️
Tyler Schiemann
Having a "bride’s man" might be unconventional, but so is Bree and Tyler’s friendship. From the very first day they met, Tyler has been both a thorn in Bree’s side and one of their closest allies. Their bond is built on countless wild times, inside jokes, and crazy adventures—some of which probably shouldn’t be repeated in public. He’s the one who always knows how to push Bree’s buttons, yet somehow also knows exactly when they need support.
Beyond the endless banter and mischief, Tyler is the kind of friend who shows up—whether it’s for a last-minute adventure, a much-needed pep talk, or just to make Bree laugh until they can’t breathe. Their wedding day wouldn’t be the same without him standing by their side, making sure things stay just the right amount of chaotic!
Thomas Beaupre
Thomas has been a close friend of Bree’s for years, but unbeknownst to them, he was also one of the Skyler’s childhood friends—proving just how small the world can be. Once they finally made the connection, it only made their friendship stronger. Thomas has been there for countless wild times and crazy adventures, always bringing laughter and, of course, a soundtrack. His music never fails to entertain (though Bree has been the brunt of more than a few lyrical jokes along the way), and his quick wit ensures there’s never a dull moment. From the day they met, Thomas has had Bree’s back, and there’s no way this day would be complete without him!
Branson Surnoskie
Not just the younger brother of the Groom, but one of his best friends. Growing up they did everything together, being less than two years apart. Skiing, hunting, fishing, watching deadliest catch until 2 in the morning, the usual brother stuff. He's a person you can always depend on and is a straight up as they come, you might not always like the answer but it will always be sincere. He's one of the most dependable people you will ever meet, and Skyler is excited to have him as his best man!
Austin Lubitz
Austin is basically Skylers other brother, so it goes without saying that he'd be a groomsmen. He's always the go to guy to help plan anything, and one of the best ski buddies on the planet. Austin is the guy who's always trying to convince you its a good idea to try skydiving or go swimming with sharks. He's the kind of person who calls you to go on adventure when he's already sitting in your driveway. He's one of the best friends a guy could ask for, and Skyler is lucky to have him in the wedding party.
Maccoy Webb
One of Skylers oldest friends. Often the host of late night jam sessions in the basement where he tries to convince Skyler he can play the bass, even though he can't keep a beat, Maccoy has always been a great listener and great friend and Skyler is excited to have him up there with him on his wedding day.
Austin McCluskey
A great friend of Skylers since childhood, Austin is the guy that stays silent in the group chat for months, but when you see him you can pick up right where you left off. A guy that you can stay up all night with, talking about the big questions of the universe, and a guy who's always there when you need him most.
Avery Nagora
The only groomsman who hasn’t known Skyler since childhood, Avery makes up for it by being a handy guy to have around, especially when it comes to hauling furniture across the province on short notice. Whether it’s moving his sister’s entire apartment in one weekend or showing up when you need a hand (or a truck), he’s always the first to lend his support. All jokes aside, Avery is a genuinely kind, thoughtful, and dependable guy. Far from your average brother-in-law, he’s someone Skyler feels incredibly lucky to be gaining—not just as family, but as a lifelong friend.
