Zach Herbst - The Best Man
Tyler's Younger Brother and Best Friend since day 1! Growing up and moving around often being in a military family was one of my favorite memories with Zach. We always had each other! Tyler does enjoy beating Zach in Pickleball & Ping-Pong matches any chance he gets over the holidays and family vacations!
Zach currently lives in Houston, Texas with his wife Kathy and daughter Chelsea!
Tyler is Chelsea's favorite uncle & cannot wait to see her be our official flower girl! We will be looking forward to family Thanksgiving soccer matches in the back yard. Yes, there will be a trophy.
Eric Parziale - Groomsmen
Eric has been Tyler's best friend since the West Pine Middle School Days! Go Wildcats! We grew up playing soccer together and still do today with our adult league soccer team - Goonies F.C.! It is always a competition between us two so do not be surprised if there is a Pickleball match in the middle of the wedding...
Eric lives in Southern Pines, North Carolina with his wife Kailey, son Bennett and Baby Nelly!
Charlie Mushin - Groomsmen
Charlie is Tyler's cousin originally from Massachusetts who has transplanted to Tampa Bay, Florida with his wife Elizabeth and several pets...
I have always enjoyed hanging with Charlie growing up and still to this day, we enjoy sporting events together and playing some golf; also, talking trash about the Hurricanes or the Bruins winning in Hockey. Core memory with Charlie was we went to a Boston Redsox vs. Tampa Bay Rays game one year... Boston was up 8-3 in the bottom of the 8th.. Charlie wanted to leave to beat traffic back to St. Leo.. Boston lost 8-9. Last time I ever left a sporting event early.
Adam Cornell - Groomsmen
Adam has become one of Tyler's really good friends over the past 10 years! Whether it's Goonies F.C. matches, going to Carolina Hurricane Hockey games, or trying to win a Pickleball tournament, it's always a good time! One of my core memories of Adam is he tried to pick up snowboarding a couple years ago at Wintergreen in Virginia... It did not go well...
Adam lives in Foxfire, North Carolina with his wife Jackie!
Matt Scott - Groomsmen
Matt Scott has been one of Tyler's best friends since the middle school days! We grew up playing Club, West Pine, & Pinecrest School Soccer together. We always have a good time whether it's on the golf course or just catching up with dinner and drinks.

The bets are off! With Tyler getting married this year, Matt Scott is the last of our friends' group to get married!
Matt Carriker - Groomsmen

Callum Smith - Groomsmen
Tyler and Callum have known each other for the last 16 years. We hit off our friendship when we found out we were huge Arsenal fans. Callum is originally from London, England. We enjoyed hanging out during the summertime growing up, playing sports, and hanging out with family and friends. Though Callum moved to New York they have stayed in touch and have always had a strong friendship. Recently, Callum and I joke around about the chances that Arsenal win the Premier League in the same year Tyler is getting married. Callum is a well known Tennis Pro and lives in New York City with his wife Nora and their daughter.
Katelyn Gerhardt - Matron of Honor
Katelyn is Bethanie’s older sister and bestie since birth! We were born and raised in sunny San Diego, California. Our family vacations to Mexico every summer were the best. Every summer we would vacation in Las Gaviotas, Baja California. Countless hours on the beach, ATVing, riding horses on the beach, getting our hair braided, and playing Chinese checkers on the balcony while watching the sunset is my favorite memory growing up. Katelyn got married and moved away when I was 18. We always made sure we had at least 2 California burritos with us while waiting for her at the airport. While we sort of grew apart when she moved, we are now closer than ever and I am beyond grateful to have her as my Matron of Honor. Katelyn currently lives in Pinehurst, North Carolina with her husband Luke, son Logan and daughter Molly!
Chelsea Ravansari - Bridesmaid
Chelsea has been Bethanie's best friend since 7th grade at Oak Crest Middle School in Encinitas, CA. We met and sat next to each other everyday in history class. We graduated high school together in 2010 from San Dieguito Academy, go Mustangs! We loved spending endless hours at the beach, devouring burritos, sunset walks, hiking in Torrey Pines, snowboard trips to Big Bear and cheering on the San Diego Padres. Chelsea lives with her husband, Ramy in downtown San Diego. I'm so excited to call her a neighbor as she embarks on her new life journey when they move east to FL in October. I am so thankful for her and our friendship!
Molly Gerhardt - Bridesmaid
Molly is Bethanie’s niece who was born in Alabama and moved to North Carolina when she was two. About to start her freshman year of high school, she plays travel soccer for AC Sandhills (and Tyler might even be her coach one day). Molly and I enjoy dance class together and spending time with family, I also love taking her to watch Tyler coach. I have loved watching Molly grow into an amazing young woman and I'm so excited to have her stand by her side on the big day.
Celie Locklear - Bridesmaid
Bethanie and Celie met in 2021 while they worked at The Tavern in The Holly Inn in Pinehurst. Celie was my first friend after I moved to North Carolina, and we quickly became close. Though our careers have taken different paths, we still enjoy lunch dates, walking our dogs around the reservoir, and beach trips when we can. Celie lives in Southern Pines with her boyfriend Jonah and three cats; I'm so thankful for our friendship and couldn’t say I do without her.
Kathy Herbst - Bridesmaid
Kathy is Bethanie's future sister in law. Kathy is married to Tyler's younger brother, Zach. When we met on a family vacation in Fredricksburg, TX in July 2025, we instantly became good friends. We don't see each other often because we live in different states, but we text all the time and I love facetime calls with my soon to be niece Chelsea! I am so excited to share endless memories, and raise babies together. We are on this wild ride together!
Emily Herbst - Bridesmaid
Emily is Bethanie’s future sister‑in‑law and a recent graduate of North Carolina University at Chapel Hill with a master's degree in speech pathology. Her warm, patient love for children is something she and I bond over—since I'm a former preschool teacher. I can’t wait to make countless memories with Emily as part of the family. She currently lives in Durham, North Carolina.
Jenna Bridges - Bridesmaid
Jenna is a close family friend who feels like a sister. In 2012, she came into our family when my sister Katelyn hired her to be the nanny for my nephew, Logan and niece, Molly. Though Jenna and I lived in different states we stayed in touch—visits to see Katelyn always included time with Jenna and her family. I am so excited to make more memories together. Jenna lives in Carthage, North Carolina with her husband Zac, daughter Hayden, and their two dogs.
