Wedding Party
Susan Koger
Matron of Honor
Susan and Marie have been best friends since birth. Literally! From traveling and shopping to making TikTok dance videos and curating content for their Instagram @VivaHuntsvegas, they’ve shared the best memories and always remain close, no matter the distance. She currently lives with her husband Dylan in their new home in Dallas!
Abigail Duemler
Bridesmaid
Abigail is the bonus big sister Marie never had! Marie loves seeing the special bond she shares with Andrew, who she's given a series of nicknames including "Boots" and "Boopers." Abigail and her husband, Josh, live in Michigan with their two little ones, Maria and Benjamin.
Kathryn Nichols
Bridesmaid
Kathryn and Marie have been best friends since high school, with memories from youth group and yearbook class to being part of Kathryn's wedding almost a decade ago. Now a mom of three precious kiddos who "Auntie Marie" adores, Kathryn lives in Huntsville, Alabama, with her husband Andrew and their little ones. Kathryn is someone Marie looks up to so much that she married her own Andrew!
Bre de Leon
Bridesmaid
Bre and Marie met through RUF City Campus in 2014, where Bre was studying music business at NYU and Marie was at FIT. They truly bonded when Marie returned to NYC in 2019, desperately seeking friendship in the big city. Bre is the kind of friend who’ll help you move across town from one walk-up to another and always brings joy and laughter wherever she goes! She currently lives in Harlem with her husband Haden and newborn Eden.
Shannon Cueva
Bridesmaid
Shannon and Marie went from roommates in NYC to best friends in the blink of an eye! With a shared love of fashion, they had many adventures, from hosting bachelorette watch parties to being mistaken for sisters (or even twins) wherever they went. Shannon now lives in Durham, NC, with her husband Diego, their son, Juan Diego and dog Denver.
Kalle Wilson
Bridesmaid
Kalle and Marie were angsty teenage besties, united by a love for goth and scene culture and a shared passion for being "different." After reconnecting on Marco Polo while Marie was in London, they quickly remembered why they’d always been such great friends! Kalle lives in Louisville, Kentucky, with her husband Johnmark and their dog, Onyx.
Aaliyah Smith
Bridesmaid
Aaliyah and Marie met in NYC after church one day while walking to small group, and it felt like Aaliyah shared her whole life story in that short walk! Aaliyah is the ultimate hype woman, a fellow fashionista, and an outspoken soul who’ll hold up a plane and run through the airport with you. She lives in Austin with her husband Colton and is expecting baby Charlotte Mae in June.
Abbey Sealy
Bridesmaid
Abbey and Marie met at an RUF Super Bowl party in 2019, where neither cared much about the game and spent the entire time chatting. Abbey is the kindest, most genuine encourager—an old soul who will always offer you a place to crash and make sure you have a glass of wine in hand. She lives with her husband Justin and their newborn, Judah, on the Upper West Side of NYC.
Zach Weston
Best Man
Lifelong friend Zach has stuck with Andrew through thick and thin. Since high school Zach has always been Andrew's big brother he never had; someone to keep Andrew's fragile ego in check, and remind him to dance his cares away. He'll also whoop anyone at any sport... anytime.... Watch out.
Ben Huegele
Groomsman
A true friend and master of Kubernetes, Ben, has a knack for managing complex security and cloud-based systems such as Andrew's brain ;). A close friend from Bible study and the gym, Ben's close relationship with Christ has been an inspiration and a joy to Andrew in so many great season's in Huntsville.
Chad Shenk
Groomsman
Born only four days before Andrew, Chad's vast knowledge of the future is a bewilderment of impressive opportunity to Andrew. A fellow creative, Chad is a plethora of good/bad ideas and council (some of which include 'vamp-coin'... a crytpo currency for vampires).
Matt Barnett
Groomsman
One of the best people to get coffee with, Matt is a stream of patience and generosity in Andrew's world. Encouraging Andrew to try and learn new things about movies and video games, he never ceases to amaze Andrew and the entire church community with his sharp wit, and his latest OLED TV.
Nick Peterson
Groomsman
Fellow trainee from Auburn's Industrial Design Program, Nick's entreprenurial and imaginative spirit has inspired Andrew to climb new heights and even travel to places like Taiwan. A great roommate and friend, Nick reminds Andrew that perfection isn't actually impossible to reach: if only you know how to 'draw a freaking cooler!'
Andrew Heil
Groomsman
Human Viking Andrew, is living proof that the 'Andrew' models are just getting better and better with time. Sharing so many creative interests like woodworking, creative writing, theology, coding, and DnD, Andrew is a master craftsman and technical genius.
James Post
Groomsman
Andrew immediately connected with his new Brother-in-Law James. James' knowledge about theology, politics, and DnD has taught Andrew that he probably should study up on his facts and build a strong legal case before sharing his crazy artistic ideas with him.
Martin Post
Groomsman
Another great brother-in-law, Martin's love for onion rings and memes keeps Andrew in touch with 'the youth culture'. Always busy with games and friends, he probably will be too busy to read this message.
