Wedding Party
Daniel Eilert
Groomsman
Daniel is Andrew's younger brother and the youngest Eilert sibling! You can find Daniel and Andrew watching every K-State game with their family and if it's hunting season, you can either find them in the deer blind or duck hunting together! Daniel is currently a junior at Kansas State University where he is a member of Theta Xi Fraternity and he is also double majoring in Accounting & Finance.
Sara Landers
Bridesmaid
Sara and Jordan met each other in 2008 in 7th grade science class and became quick friends! They attended the same middle and high school and they were also on 2 cheer teams together, so they became thick as thieves over their last 17+ years of friendship! Sara is Jordan's oldest friend and is in almost every single one of her childhood memories. Sara got married to her husband Chris in 2022 where they lived together in Chicago for 7 years. They just recently moved to Atlanta, GA for her job promotion.
Luke Chism
Groomsman
Luke and Andrew go WAY back - they both grew up in Beloit and met in junior high after playing on the same summer baseball team and have been best friends ever since. From fishing trips to hunting weekends and post-football game bonfires, they've shared incredible memories over the last 18+ years! Luke is like another brother to Andrew. Luke married his wife Logan in 2022 and they now have a 1.5-year-old baby girl Lydia, and are also expecting baby #2 this September and live just outside Beloit, KS.
Montanna Smith
Bridesmaid
Montanna and Jordan went to high school together and became close friends their sophomore year. By senior year, between endless sleepovers on the weekends and having 4 out of 6 of their classes together - they were attached at the hip! Montanna and Jordan also studied abroad together for a summer semester of college in Montepulciano, Italy where they solely consumed red wine and gelato. It is by far their most favorite memory of their friendship! Montanna even married someone with the same name as her (but we call him Jordan #2). Montanna and Jordan got married on the coast of Italy in 2023 and now live in Augusta, GA.
Jacob Carroll
Groomsman
Jacob was a sophomore and Andrew was a freshman when they met at K-State (GO CATS!) through their fraternity, Theta Xi. If you have ever heard them making jokes, you can see exactly why they are best friends! You can usually find these two hitting the driving range, grilling out, and (maybe a little too passionately) yelling at the TV together while watching the Cats and Chiefs play...usually scaring Jacob's poor dogs in the process! Jacob got married to his wife Morgan in 2023 and they now have a 1.5-year-old son Mason (a K-State fan in training) and are expecting baby #2 in August and live in Olathe, KS.
Marie-Elise Frech
Bridesmaid
Marie-Elise and Jordan have known each other since Jordan moved from Connecticut to Georgia in the 5th grade. A few years later, they reconnected through the same 7th grade science class as Sara in 2008! Marie-Elise and Jordan have the EXACT same sense of humor (twin flames, if you will) and have spent many family beach trips together. Unfortunately, she moved to South Florida in the summer of 2010 but it never stopped their friendship and they always remained very close - constantly visiting each other over the years and catching up on their weekly phone calls! They share a mutual love for dogs (especially dachshunds). They are now both Florida girls, and Marie-Elise lives with her boyfriend Jesse in West Palm Beach, FL.
Ben Stutterheim
Groomsman
Ben and Andrew also met through Theta Xi Fraternity at K-State and Ben was Andrew's very first roommate in college. From day one, they were inseparable and bonded over drinking way too much whiskey, hitting up every football tailgate they could, and even making bowl game trips down to Memphis and Houston together. Almost all of Andrew's favorite college memories involve Ben! Ben got married to his wife Megan in 2024. They have a 10-year-old son Liam, and also just welcomed their daughter Ruth last September and live in Salina, KS.
Margaret Letlow
Bridesmaid
Margaret and Jordan met at Kennesaw State University (GO OWLS!) their freshman year through rushing their sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi. They got close their sophomore year and ended up becoming college roommates. Known as the dynamic duo and causing trouble everywhere they went, if one was around you could guarantee the other wasn't far behind either! From college football tailgates and spring breaks to weddings - they've done it all together! Margaret got married to her husband Austin in 2021 and they now have a 2-year-old son Emmett and live in Canton, GA.
Sam McArthur
Groomsman
Sam and Andrew first met as pledge brothers through Theta Xi at K-State, where they became fast friends! Over the years, they’ve shared countless memories - from cheering on the Cats at Big 12 NCAA basketball tournaments in KC to grabbing lunch together whenever their nearby offices allow! Sam married his high school sweetheart Jessica in 2024 and they currently live in Kansas City, MO with their 2 cats, Beans and Chip.
Bailey Damschroder
Bridesmaid
Bailey and Jordan met on Bumble BFF when Jordan moved to Florida in September 2023. Jordan was in need of some girl friends in the area, and Bailey was her very first Tampa friend! They had a happy hour date at Salt Shack on the Bay and the rest is history. They have even formed a solid friend group together! Bailey is Jordan's go to plus-one for all events that Andrew cannot attend (Sorry Andrew). Sushi dates and boat days are also their favorite girls day activities! Bailey accepted a new job this year with Raising Cane's corporate and has helped them open 5 new stores in the Southeast Region so far!
Kane Comfort
Groomsman
Kane and Andrew first met through their fraternity when Andrew was a freshman and Kane was a sophomore. From the start, they clicked, and became part of a very tight-knit group of college friends who share a deep (and pessimistic) love for all things K-State. One of Andrew’s favorite memories with Kane? Watching him take on a legendary 12lb cheeseburger challenge, and ironically and shortly afterwards....Kane decided to become a vegan! Kane is currently pursuing his music career and lives with his girlfriend Tara in Nashville, TN.
Haley Henderson
Bridesmaid
Haley and Jordan actually grew up just down the street from each other in Johns Creek and have been crossing paths ever since childhood. They went to the same middle school and cheered together on a competitive team in 6th grade. Although they attended different high schools and colleges, fate brought them back together years later when Jordan ran into their mutual friend at a wedding in Georgia—and discovered that both she and Haley were living in St. Pete! After reconnecting and hanging out for the first time, their friendship picked up right where it left off. They quickly became close again, bonding over everything from their shared upbringings to navigating long-distance relationships (Haley’s boyfriend Dalton lives in Atlanta). You can almost always find them at at their favorite bar Ferg's on college football Saturdays cheering on Ole Miss and UGA!
