Wedding Party
Cassidy Syftestad
Maid of Honor
Cousin, Sister, Best Friend... Cass holds many titles in my life. We were born just two weeks apart (Cass is older by 15 days and never lets me forget it) and I've never lived a day of my life without her by my side. Growing up only a few houses away kept us close as kids, but now it's daily phone calls, never-ending text conversations and trips to visit each other that make our friendship so special. I've never pictured anyone else standing next to me on my big day!
Eric Dong
Best Man
Wombmate; a term coined by the man himself. Eric and I have been pretty much doing everything together our entire lives - the same high school, the same college, the same apartment, more-or-less the same gamertag. I couldn't be more proud to call him my brother and best man.
Shannon Syftestad
Bridesmaid
I had the honor of standing next to Shannon when she married my cousin and I am so grateful to have her as one of my ladies. Although she's technically my cousin-in-law (is that even a thing?) she has definitely earned the title of sister-cousin and has grown to become one of my closest friends.
Alex Dong
Groomsman
Alex always has always been a source of fun, adventure, and most importantly, ramen. He schools me at soccer and at golf, but at least he's nice about it. He has always been there in the tough times and I want him to be there for the best times. I love him dearly and I cannot wait to have him standing with me on the most important day.
Kelsey Bagley
Bridesmaid
Kelsey is one of my favorite people I’ve ever met. I was my brother’s wing man when he had a crush on her and now they’re married so mission accomplished! Having a sister is new territory for me but I honestly barely remember life without her and my brother together. She fits right into our family and she is the best sister-in-law a girl could ask for.
Mitchell Dong
Groomsman
Like a true big brother, Mitch was always the one to make sure I had my head on straight. I have always been envious of him because he has the Midas Touch. He is truly incredible at everything he does or tries. He even built a better computer than me. I love him more than we love computers, though. I can't wait to have him with me on my wedding day.
Lindsay Anderson
Bridesmaid
Lin is my oldest friend and she knows me better than anyone. We met when we were 11 and bonded over our matching side bangs and love of Fall Out Boy. We ditched the side bangs, but we still love Fall out Boy so catch us on the dance floor at the wedding when Young Volcanoes comes on.
Zac Bagley
Groomsman
Zac really takes his role as a big brother seriously. The first time I met him he literally said one word to me. But I can't blame him, Chloe' is a treasure. Over the last 3 years, Zac and I have become bros. His love for the Lord is real and I learn something new every time we hang out. Also he's Chlo's big brother and best friend in the whole world. So long story short, Zac started off so suspicious of me and now he has to stand at my wedding so I win lol.
Jane Lockhart
Bridesmaid
If you know us, you know Jane and I have been inseparable since we met freshman year of college. She taught me to love Disneyland and pasta and is the source of most of the fun in my life. Jane's been there for every step of mine and Andrew's relationship and is our best friend.
Clint Syftestad
Groomsman
Clint has been an integral part of mine and Chlo's relationship. He's Chloe's big cousin but much more like her brother and they have been inseparable since they were kids. Clint brought me into this family with open arms. He was someone who I immediately felt like I've known for years and years. But more than anything, he has been a key part to... forming my volleyball skills. I'm so excited to have him standing (so so tall) with me on my wedding day.
Kynsi Vanderwesthuizen
Bridesmaid
When Kyns and I were sophomores in high school we stayed up all night to watch the Royal Wedding in real time. We spent the whole night talking about our own future weddings and dreaming about being each other's bridesmaids. She is my biggest supporter and I can't wait to finally have her next to me like we've always talked about.
Tyler Nakamura
Groomsman
Tyler Makaluhluh. That's what I called him when I was 5 and couldn't pronounce his last name. Tyler has been one of my closest friends since kindergarten. He has been a guiding light in my life. He teaches me about video games and life and we’ve managed to stay close even though we live far from each other.
Madelynn Rae
Bridesmaid
When I was a freshman in high school and Maddie was a senior she rigged the system to make sure she was my "senior sister." She's called me her little sister ever since. Maddie's always there for me and she's taught me so much about being a good friend. From throwing me a surprise sweet 16 to standing next to me at my wedding, she's been there for everything.
Daniel Rhodenbaugh
Groomsman
Daniel is one of those friends who you don’t have to talk to for weeks or months and then you can pick up right where you left off. He has always been there to talk or to grab some Chick-fil-a when I needed him. Daniel can bring a smile to your face within 30 seconds of meeting him. He is one of my dearest friends and I cannot wait for him to be there on my wedding day.
Hannah Sterling
Bridesmaid
Hannah and I have managed to stay best friends even from 5,000 miles away. We have spent our 8 years of friendship traveling between England and America to see each other. I had the honor of standing at her wedding in Wales 3 years ago and I couldn't wait to have her in mine ever since. Hannah is my kindred spirit and I am so grateful she's flying all the way from Birmingham to spend this day with me.
