Meet the "I Do" Crew

The incredible people who’ll be by our side as we tie the knot!

Keegan Tyrell
Keegan Tyrell - Man of Honor

When asked what to include in his bio, Keegan said, “Likes to get jiggy with it.” Keegan and Madeline became friends in high school during AP History, where they bonded over the wild antics of their intense instructor. Their friendship grew stronger when Keegan transferred to KU, with many movie nights and tequila pineapples at their favorite Lawrence bars. Keegan is always up for spontaneous plans, like shopping trips in KC, and has been a caring honorary uncle to French Fry, even bringing him treats to celebrate his adoption day. Keegan brings the energy wherever he goes, and together, they’re always dying laughing over inside jokes and their shared love of Goodfellas, Harry Potter, and Akon.

Sara Fairbanks
Sara Fairbanks - Bridesmaid

Sara and Madeline first met in high school after being introduced through mutual friends and sharing classes like chemistry, biology, EMT, and later attending college together. They’ve been through a lot together, from late-night tennis matches to random adventures—and a few misadventures, like the time Madeline woke up at the crack of dawn to attend a spin class with Sara (which, if you know Madeline, is definitely not her thing) only to find that the class was mainly made up of seniors, and the instructor didn’t show up. They’ve had plenty of fun at places like Bullwinkles and Barks & Brews, and even doing EMT exams on each other, complete with neck braces and fake anaphylactic reactions. Sara and Madeline often joke that their friendship is like that of a "cat" and a "dog"—Sara, the "cat," enjoys her quiet time at home, while Madeline, the "dog," is the outgoing one, always trying to get her out of the house. Despite their different personalities, they balance each other out perfectly, and Madeline knows she can always count on Sara.

Joelle Frady
Joelle Frady - Bridesmaid

Joelle and Madeline attended high school together but didn’t really get to know each other until their first year of college, living in buildings that faced each other. Since then, they’ve made countless memories, from dancing the night away at the Jayhawk Cafe to enjoying dinner and margaritas at Molcajetes. They even took biology together, where Joelle was always the one helping Madeline by sharing her superior notes. Over the years, their friendship has only grown stronger, with both of them graduating from KU together and Joelle visiting Madeline each time she comes to Wichita. Joelle has always been a loyal friend, bringing silliness, laughter, and a sense of fun wherever she goes—all while looking absolutely fabulous with the cutest outfits and perfect makeup.

Ellie Clifton
Ellie Clifton - Bridesmaid

Ellie is Evan’s older sister, and the relationship they share is filled with laughter, inside jokes, and a shared love for football—though they’ll never agree on teams, as Ellie is a devoted Patriots fan. Growing up, they spent a lot of time together, from listening to the morning radio show on their way to school, to watching cartoons on the family computer, and always defending each other when trouble came around. Over the years, Ellie’s connection with Madeline has grown stronger, with the two sharing fun memories, including attending Kelce Jam together. They also share a love for dogs, often taking their dogs, Jett and French Fry, for playdates at Bar K. Of course, they never fail to find time to tease Evan along the way. Ellie’s caring, sweet, and funny nature makes her an integral part of Madeline’s bridal party.

Amanda Robinette
Amanda Robinette - Bridesmaid

Amanda is Madeline’s second cousin, and the two spent many summers together in Tennessee, where Nerf wars and swimming at Amanda’s house were the highlights of their childhood. One of their best memories? Despite going to different colleges, they both ended up studying abroad in London at the same time. After meeting up at a pub for dinner (and snapping some fun photos with a cardboard cutout of the Queen), they had a slightly frantic adventure trying to get to Les Misérables. Amanda led the way, only to find they were at the wrong theater! After a mad dash across the city, they made it just in time—though they had to bang on the locked doors and sneak in while the play had already started. Amanda always has a kind word and is up for a good laugh.

What’s Better Than One Best Man? Two!

Peyton Wiechman
Peyton Wiechman - Best Man
Evan and Peyton, better known as "Wish," have been friends since 6th grade. Over the years, they have bonded over their love of cooking, guns, watches, and cars. Despite Wish’s unfortunate allegiance to K-State and his attendance there, the two have remained close friends. Wish shares a passion for the finer things in life with Evan, including a love for whiskey, even boasting his own impressive collection. He’s always up for a trip to Rainer Arms, Scheels, or Academy. His quick wit, love of pranks, and top-tier cooking skills make him the life of any party. Wish is a thoughtful and loyal friend whose fun-loving nature and close bond with Evan make him the perfect fit as one of Evan’s best men.
Pierceton Forrest
Pierceton Forrest - Best Man
Evan and Pierceton’s friendship dates back to 5th grade when they first connected on the football field—Pierceton as the quarterback and Evan as his go-to wide receiver. Since then, their bond has only grown, driven by a shared interest in guns, race cars, video games, and cheering on the Jayhawks and Chiefs. Whether they’re at the range, watching races together at 81 Speedway, or cheering on their favorite teams, they’ve always had each other’s backs. Along with Marvin, they spend countless hours playing Rocket League, always keeping things fun and entertaining. From childhood antics to lifelong memories, Pierceton has been by Evan’s side, making him one of Evan’s best men.
Marvin Rozner
Marvin Rozner - Groomsman

Evan and Marvin's friendship began in 4th grade, built on shared laughs, late-night gaming sessions, and a passion for cars. Marvin introduced Evan to bowling, and though they bowled at rival high schools, their competitive spirit always brought them together. Marvin, known for always tinkering with his car, is always up for a challenge. Today, they continue creating memories over video games, cars, and drinks. Along with best man Pierceton, they spend hours playing Rocket League. Marvin's unwavering reliability, infectious laugh, and sense of humor make him an essential part of the group, always ready for a good time.

Ian Clifton
Ian Clifton - Groomsman

As Evan’s brother-in-law, Ian is both family and a worthy rival. Whether it’s competing in fantasy football (where Evan usually comes out on top) or facing off at the bowling alley, their matchups are always intense. While the competition isn’t always serious, it’s led to plenty of friendly trash talk and late-night cosmic bowling sessions. Beyond the rivalry, Ian has been a great friend and brother, making every gathering more entertaining. Despite Ian not living in town, he and Evan always make time to catch up over a drink whenever they can. Whether they’re debating sports, sharing a laugh, or just enjoying good company, Ian has become a valued part of Evan’s life. Evan is proud to have him standing by his side on the big day.

Thomas Hazlewood
Thomas Hazlewood - Groomsman, Escort to the Best Boy

Thomas is Madeline's little brother, and over the years, they’ve shared countless memories, visiting theme parks together, teaming up as a dynamic duo on Lego Rock Band (with Madeline as the guitarist and Thomas as the lead singer), and playing pranks on their grandparents. The two were always up to something, and never missed an opportunity to get the other in trouble, though they’d often try to help each other lessen the punishment afterward. Though Thomas is still not over Madeline stepping on his Lego pirate ship when they were kids, their sibling rivalry has only strengthened their bond, and they’ve remained incredibly close. Over time, Thomas has also grown close to Evan, with the two becoming gaming buddies. As Evan’s future brother-in-law and French Fry’s loving uncle, Thomas is not only a groomsman but has also been entrusted with the important task of escorting the best boy down the aisle. His funny, sarcastic nature make him an irreplaceable part of the wedding party.

French Fry
French Fry - Best Boy

Madeline and Evan absolutely could not imagine their wedding day without including the cutest and furriest member of the family—their favorite guy, spoiled, goofy, loyal companion, and best buddy, French Fry. Adopted from a rescue by Madeline the summer before her final year at KU, French Fry brought so much joy and happiness into her life while she was away from home and Evan. Since moving into their shared apartment in July, his bond with Evan has only grown stronger (in fact, French Fry now basically likes Evan more than Madeline, much to her dismay). French Fry is a social butterfly who loves being included in whatever his parents do—except when the vacuum is involved! He enjoys suiting up in his jerseys to cheer on the Kansas Jayhawks and Kansas City Chiefs, getting belly rubs, going to the dog park, and joining his parents for dinner outings. Of course, he’s always begging for pieces of their dinner too! He truly is the most loving companion they could ask for.

Eleanor & Elizabeth Vaughan
Eleanor & Elizabeth Vaughan - Flower Girls

Eleanor and Liz are Madeline’s sweet and smart little cousins, each with their own personality. Both girls share a love for French Fry, often telling Madeline he’s as soft as their stuffed animals, and they’re known for sneaking him treats when Madeline isn’t looking! Liz has a bit of a mischievous streak, always keeping Madeline on her toes during babysitting, while Eleanor adds her own playful touch to the mix. Madeline’s favorite memories with the girls include their Frozen dance parties before bed, watching them jump in their bounce house, and seeing them proudly show Evan their Barbie collection. Whether they’re being sweet, silly, or a little sneaky, Eleanor and Liz are a constant source of joy and laughter.
