Amanda & Ashley
Wedding Party
Rachel Young
Amanda's Matron of Honor
She seemed nice enough, but no way we would be friends.... 7 years later, Rachel knows ALL the secrets and may have been the first one of all to realize Amanda was in love. She is that friend who shows up, no matter what, when you need her. Turns out, no way we couldn't be friends! Rachel is a rock star mom to two boys (Lincoln and Judah) and married to Jim. (Our favorite guy to face time after a night out with wine!)
Kelley White
Amanda's Bridesmaid
Kelley and Amanda met in middle school. Amanda was in the start of her never ending awkward phase and Kelley was way too cool for her. Someone forgot to tell them that, because once these two became friends... they never stopped. A couple of decades later, still going strong! Kelley is the mom to two beautiful little girls (Maddie and Charlie) and married to Bryce. (Kelley and Bryce started dating in high school... clearly Kelley knows early on when she finds keepers!)
Sarah Chadwick
Amanda's Bridesmaid
Sarah will tell you Amanda forced friendship on her... and this may be true, but what a beautiful friendship it's been! They met at Panera 10 years ago, and since then so much has changed. A little growing and a lot of learning! Sarah found love when she met Tate, and now they have an amazing little boy, Atlas Kane! Sarah still puts up with Amanda's friendship, and she is VERY grateful for this.
Shanna Churchill
Amanda's Bridesmaid
Shanna and Amanda met in middle school, but their bond strengthened in high school. Amanda probably spent more nights at Shanna's house growing up than she did her own. So much so, they decided why not carry on and live together in college... poor Shanna. Luckily, their friendship survived it all! And the best thing that came out of those college years was Shanna meeting her husband Nathan! They have two beautiful kids, Cecilia and Finnigan.
Brooke Krekeler
Ashley's Matron of Honor
Brooke is Ashley's older sister. They have been through all of life's adventures this far! From Brooke begging the doctor to take Ashley back when she was born, to the birth of Brooke's daughter and everything in between! Brooke and her husband, Mark, have two incredible daughters; Ava and Leah.
Julie Seamer
Ashley's Bridesmaid
Julie and Ashley have been friends since kindergarten! These two have been through all the stages together! From awkward teens to wedding bells, and even a few moves back to KC. Even though they're adjusting to being 3 hours apart (again), they keep their friendship going like they never missed a beat! Julie and her husband, Joe, have 2 boys; Klein and Killian.
Jamie Wilcox
Ashley's Bridesmaid
Jamie and Ashley are cousins, but grew up more like sisters! They grew up together on the farm and took countless vacations with their family. From finding themselves on road trips to trips down the aisle, these musketeers are together through it all! Jamie is an awesome wife to Brian, and she has two boys, Gabe and Colton
Jamie Stewart
Ashley's Bridesmaid
As little sisters often do, Ashley stole everything from Brooke! Even her high school friends! If you want to get to Ashley's heart, you'll have to go through a through vetting from Jamie first! Luckily, Amanda passed the test! Jamie and Ashley have been friends since childhood and have the kind of friendship that will certainly last a lifetime!
Ashley Jansen
Spiritual + Prayer Leader
Amanda and Ashley met at church and attended a small group together. They became FAST friends, and Ashley has been an incredible supporter and encourager. Their shared faith and friendship has made a major impact for Amanda. When looking for a person to lead prayer and help us "tie the knot" Ashley was the first person who came to mind. She is an incredible teacher and wife to Andrew, and she is one of the most thoughtful, caring people you will meet!
Becca Wills
Spiritual + Prayer Leader
They say everyone has a "Friend Soulmate" and Becca is definitely that for Ashley. When they first met, they were a couple of hooligans working at Houlihan's. That was only just the beginning. Becca has been the person who has helped Ashley most in her spiritual journey and walk in life. Becca has always provided that shoulder to lean on and encouragement. Of course, that is a role that was much needed for Ashley on the big day. It would be impossible to "tie the knot" without Becca being there to support Ashely. Becca and Kai have a wonderful, creative, amazing little boy named Prescott.
