Wedding Party
David Sexton
Best Man
David is the grooms youngest brother. He is the one you want to have at a party! David and the groom were super close growing up, especially in the years the groom and the bride were dating. Many nights were spent with them three going on drives together and talking about life. The grooms favorite memory with David was when David, Abby, and Eric all went on a spontaneous drive to Holland, MI in the middle of winter. Long story short, we all ended up soaked and with a flat tire on the side of the road. The brides parents ended up saving them but it was a long drive home after that...Ask David about his Firefighter program!
Monica Rudolph
Matron of Honor
Monica is the brides one and only sister. Monica and the bride have spent hours on drives just talking about life and being each others maid of honors one day. She has been a important source of support throughout the bride and grooms relationship. She is also the PR representative for the bride when it comes to any social interaction. Monica is talented at crocheting and has created some pretty cool things! Monica and the brides sister song is Bros by Wolf Alice, give it a listen! Ask Monica about her honeymoon to Aruba and her star child Daisy, an adorable labradoodle.
William Sexton
Best Man
Will is the grooms oldest brother. The groom spent endless hours as a child with Will playing sports and bullying their younger brother David during football games where they would team up against him. The grooms favorite memory of Will is when they went on a drive to see the drained Wixom Lake in Sanford, MI in the grooms small Chevy Volt. They ended up getting stuck on a seasonal road and had to flag down a couple of kids to get their dad with a tractor to pull them off the road. Rest assured they did see the lake in the end and watched their younger brother get his feet stuck. And yes, they sure did bully him for that too.
Sarah Sexton
Bridesmaid
Sarah is the grooms one and only sister. She is a outdoorsy girl who is a wonderful mom to her fur baby Charlie. Sarah now lives up north in a city called St Helen and loves taking her side by side out on the trails. Sarah has been such a important source of support throughout the groom and brides relationship. The grooms favorite memory with Sarah was when they went on their annual camping trip and Sarah started a shot circle! Everyone had so much fun pushing people in and sharing that memory together. Ask Sarah about Pink Whitney and what it means to both her and the bride!
Eric Schulte
Groomsman
Eric is the brides oldest brother! He remembers most of the brides childhood more than the bride does herself. You may be asking yourself, how do they know which Eric is being talked about at family events!? Eric is partially the reason why the grooms nickname given to him by Paul is "Foote." A shortened version of foot fairy (the groom used to play soccer). The brides favorite memory with Eric is when he had to take her and friend to a concert at St Andrews Hall when she was 14... Eric hung out with the dads on the balcony who were clearly there in support of their daughters. That was the best night of Erics life... not.
Christina Schulte
Bridesmaid
Christina is the brides sister-in-law. She is married to Abby's oldest brother, Eric. Christina probably remembers more of the brides childhood memories than the bride remembers herself... that's how long Christina has been around! Christina is an incredible friend, mother, and sister-in-law. She is the go to girl for any project organization or logical thinking. The brides favorite memory with Christina is when Christina absolutely killed it reciting Nicki Minaj's songs on a bachelorette trip they both went on. If you hear Nicki Minaj at the wedding, you will see Christina out on the floor!
Nicholas Schulte
Groomsman
Nicholas is the brides second oldest brother. He is the guy you call when you need a helping hand and he will always show up! Nicholas and the groom have played hockey together and that is when they both spent a lot of time together. The bride and groom have enjoyed many trips up to Brittany and Nicholas's cabin and have made some incredible memories together there. Hear an odd laugh coming from somewhere within the wedding reception? Yeah, that's probably Nick.
Brittany Schulte
Bridesmaid
Brittany is the brides sister-in-law! She is married to the brides brother, Nicholas. Brittany is an amazing cook and can create some killer pumpkin rolls. She met the bride when the bride was just 10 years old and has been watching her grow ever since. Brittany created alot of fun memories for the bride when she was growing up. The brides favorite memory with Brittany is a more recent one where they were able to see Boygenius and Clairo in concert in Columbus Ohio or as they like to call it, the worlds largest trash can.
Raymond Schulte
Groomsman
Raymond is the brides younger brother. As the groom would say, Raymond is a straight G. He is amazing at playing the bass and creating his own music. He is currently in a band called New Bark Town and has start recording some of his own tunes. Ask to hear one of his songs! Raymond is also extremely intelligent and knows a lot about history and geography! Ask him a random fact about a random city in any country and he will give you one.
Jaclyn Schulte
Bridesmaid
Jaclyn is the brides cousin. AKA: Cousin 35! Being close in age meant they were going to be spending a lot of time together at Grandma and Grandpas, and that they did! Jaclyn and the bride have seen Imagine Dragons together with their fellow cousins and have spent many car drives together just talking about life. A fun fact about Jaclyn is she knows A LOT of line dances. If you see a line dance on the dance floor, Jaclyn will always be a part of it! Follow her lead if you get lost.
Luke Schulte
Ring Bearer
Luke is the brides first and only nephew! Fun fact, Luke is the first Schulte great grandchild to carry on the Schulte last name. He takes his ring security job VERY seriously. Luke is energetic, fun, and a rockstar!! Luke LOVES hard rock. You may hear some "Crazy Train" or "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" and yes, Luke will be the first one out there! Rock on Luke!
Brooklyn Evely
Flower Girl
Brooklyn is a 2nd cousin to the bride! She is also Erics number 1 fan. Both groom and bride have babysat Brooklyn for a large portion of her life. Watching her grow has been such an honor to them both. She has so much spunk and is insanely smart. Ask her about the grooms biggest fear...I am sure she will let you in on the secret!
Opa
Our Something Blue
We call him Opa but you can call him Karl. He is the grooms Opa, that is german for grandpa. Ask one of the grooms relatives to show you a younger picture of Opa and you will see a spitting image of Eric. Not joking, Opa is Eric in 40 years! Opa has been an amazing role model to Eric throughout his life. Eric's favorite moment with Opa was when Opa told Eric to just propose already!! Abby was very appreciative of that...
Chelsea Schulte
Flower Girl
The best niece to the bride! Chelsea made the bride an aunt in the year 2018 and hasn't stopped making the world a brighter place since. Chelsea is both curious and kind! She can't help but make the whole room laugh by making one of her silliest jokes. Ask her about walking to school in the old days (that's her best joke yet)!
