AJ & Derrek
Wedding Party
Laura Schroeder
Maid of Honor
Laura is my sister and has been my adventure buddy since her arrival here on planet Earth. The laughs come easily and I never know quite what trouble we will get into. 😉. Traffic jams in the Tetons, incurable giggles at Crater Lake, NYE on a beach in New Zealand--we have experienced a lot of the fun life has to offer us mere mortals together. 🥰
Katy Cassingham
Bridesmaid
Katy and I have been friends since I was 2 and she was 3. Not many people can claim as long a friendship! I'll keep it brief here, but simply put, Katy has always had my back and my best interests at heart. ♥️ Fun fact: Katy suffered a lot of the physical violence that my childhood sleep walking/thrashing/karate brought on. 😂
Beka Weikum
Bridesmaid
In addition to being my friend, Beaky is my neighbor, coworker, and mother of my flower girl. 😉🌸. She is also my feelings friend--she burst into tears (the happy variety) when I told her I'd gotten engaged. 😂 She's got a warm, tender heart which is an important contrast to my OCCASIONAL cynicism. 🥰
Roz Salstrand
Bridesmaid
Roz is my fun friend--down for whateeevveeerrr shenanigans I can come up with, for over 20 years now. She's also a skyscraper, so she can reach high up stuff for me--an invaluable trait. I can only assume Roz would be an excellent Easter egg hider. Fun fact: Roz and I used to binge watch Nick at Nite in her basement as kids; an environment which we should really recreate. Additional Fun Fact: The photo of Roz is in downtown Minneapolis with a random stray dog she found. 😂
Celeste Van Klein
Bridesmaid
Celeste is Derrek's sister who is a solid decade younger than me, but I think that this fact will only serve to keep me young. 😉. I'm excited to have another sister!
Amelia Weikum
Flower Girl
My little Moo Moo, who I met when she was just a week or so old! She is quite the fashionista and enjoys sugar and pink in all their forms. I "yub" her. ❤️
Oliver Hansen
Ring Bearer
This little dude is my cousin's kid and he is also my godson! 😊 He is quite a bit bigger than pictured here, but this was one of his first true smiles and it was at me. 😉
