Wedding Party
Kayla Steffes
Maid of Honor
Sister of the Bride Our relationship started out rocky after Kayla spent 6 years being an only child. Like most siblings we fought while we lived together, but became best friends shortly after she moved to college. Although we haven't always been best friends, she's always had my back and she has always been my role model. Our favorite thing to do when together is talk about teeth.
Taylor Doeden
Best Man
Honorary Brother of the Groom Alan's ride or die since day one. From high school shenanigans, to college roommates for 5 years, they've done it all. Taylor also happened to be the groom at Alan's first Best Man appearance.
Hannah Gelhar
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride Hannah and I met in college through our sorority. We spent our entire first year in the sorority not knowing each other existed, but once we started living together we became inseparable. We were each other's study buddies, where we spent countless nights staying up way too late studying, getting slushies and McDonalds, and eating chocolate just to stay awake.
Forrest Leitch
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom They became close when Alan gave Forrest rides to high school every day due to a suspended license. They've drank more Mountain Dew in Alan's dad's garage than the factory makes in a calendar year. They are also professional fisherman, with career earnings and a top 4 finish at the 2021 GRAHA Walleye Shootout.
Ashley Antonenko
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride Ashley and I met in college through our sorority. She was always the one everyone went to talk about anything and everything, and I was not immune to that. We spent a lot of time together in college, but our friendship has grown since graduating. We still enjoy our deep conversations, especially over a drink.
Yannick Nanton
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom Alan and Yannick met while cutting meat at Sam's club, where Alan quickly eclipsed him as the best meat cutter. They often closed together, so Alan had the privilege of listening to Yannick's immaculate beats. They could often be found trying to leave work early to race to the nearest friend gathering, where they would enjoy a "soda" or two together.
Amy Kim
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride Amy and I met in dental school. When I first met her, I didn't like her because she showed me up on my summer research presentation. The dislike must not have shown, since she decided to sit with me the first week of school. We soon became best friends and the rest is history.
Russell Damsgard
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom Alan and Russ also met at Sams club, quickly forming a relationship full of insults and banter. Russ was one of Alan's favorite people to go out with, as he possesses some of the deadliest dance moves known to man. Russ will go down as one of Grand Fork's greatest grill masters of all time.
Hunter Woodrich
Officiant
Friend of the Bride & Groom Alan and Hunter met in an engineering course, where it quickly became apparent that without each other's study help, they would both fail and be forced to become taxi drivers. After many long nights and procrastination-ridden days they managed to graduate. Now Alan and Amanda use Hunter for his sweet Virtual Reality videogame setup.
