Wedding Party

Dallas Shayne Yurt

Groom

Alisabeth Angela Grossman

Bride

Zachary Tolle

Best Man

Kaleela Grossman

Maid of Honor

Growing up with Kaleela was a bit of a challange because she is the best at any and everything she decides to do and I was always slightly jealous. She works hard and puts her heart and soul into the things she does but what is even more beautiful is the light and energy that she shines into the lives of the people around her. She cares deeply for her friends, family, and above all else God. I admire her and am greatly honored to have her love and encouragement which have helped me to get through my most difficult moments and my happiest. I am so thankful to have her by my side as I make a life long commitment to God and Dallas.

Vincent Yurt

Groomsman

I would always find it funny when I would introduce my brother to people and they wouldn't believe me because we don't look a lot alike and would be complete opposites. I've always been creative, dramatic, and prefer to have options rather than one strict way of doing things. On the other hand, to me I've always seen Vincent being very organized and structured in his life, which I think is a perfect for his career and in those times I ask for his help organizing some of the wild ideas I come up with. Despite being opposites in some aspects we've always been there for each other and I am glad he will be there with me in the next step of my life

Lynessa Grossman

Bridesmaid

My sister Lynessa was the first person in which I confided that Dallas is the person I want to spend my life with and that I planned to propose. She has always been my voice of reason and will tell me her opinion with no holding back. She is my rock solid earth bender! I was so thankful that her response was "sounds like a plan how are we doing this?" Without her help and support I very well may not be where I am now. I truly appreciate how she always has and will be there to tell me exactly how things are. Her affirmation means the world to me and I know that if she approves, that I really have found the one!

Ben Lehman

Groomsman

Kat Matthias

Bridesmaid

So this one time at band camp... Kat and I met during marching band and bonded by eating lunchables in the back of her pick up during breaks. We have been best friends ever since! She is the one who introduced me to all of the fandoms I have grown to love such as Doctor Who, Star Trek, Avengers, and even some anime. She has many talents she bakes, knits and crochets, sews, just to name a few! On top of all of this she is an amazing friend who, even though we are often good distances apart, has always been there making me laugh or gently setting me straight when I need some guidance. Her love and encouragement mean the world to me and I am so glad she will be by my side for one of the biggest moments of my life!

Nikita Lehman

Groomswoman

Nikita and I haven't know each other long, but we are always going to be best friends. When we first met each other we geeked out about anything and everything in the middle of Bob Evans. We talked for hours about topics ranging from Firefly, video games, and space documentaries weve watched. Although we don't hang out a lot, when we do it's always a blast. When I began to think about who I wanted in my grooms party, I knew that Nikita was one of the people in my life that I wanted to be apart of this wonderful moment

Mackenzie Kankovsky

Bridesmaid

Again, all lasting friendships start with band! Mackenzie and I have been friends for seven years, but we started becoming best friends when we both joined the music program at IPFW where we were in several classes and ensembles together. Now we are roommates and continue to make music together when we have jam nights! Mackenzie is my opposite, as she is strong willed, brave, determined, and steadfast, all of the qualities I admire but lack. She helps keep me on track and has always been there to help me when I am stuggling with something. I'm so honored to have her by my side as I begin this new chapter of my life

Tina Li

Groomswoman

Tina and I have been best friends for so long now that she's like a sister to me. I remember growing up, her parents would refer to me as their other son. She's been there with me through both the good and the bad times ever since we meet in high school and thoughout it all has been an amazing friend. Whether it was late night Drumline practice or early morning bike ride and chat sessions, we've always managed to keep in touch even after graduating. When I first started talking about wanting to date Alisabeth, Tina was one of the first people I told and she was so excited for me, she started to give me tips on how I could win her over. When I told her I was going to propose she was a hundred perecent supportive and excited for us and I knew that I wanted Tina to be a part of my groom party

Emily Dixon

Bridesmaid

Emi and I have known each other for almost 10 years now, but it wasn't until just a couple of years ago when Dallas got her and I jobs at the resturant where he worked that we realized what kindred spirits we are. We became great friends waiting tables together and when I told her Dallas and I were going on our first date after work she excitedly exclaimed that we were her OTP and ran across the street to buy me some make up and did the best she could to make me look presentable before letting him take me to dinner. Emi is one of the sweetest, big hearted people I have ever met and her humorous sarcasm is the bow that makes the complete package! I am so grateful that she was there to send me on the first date and now will be with me on my wedding!
