Ariana & Reilly
Wedding Party
Ashley Uphoff
Matron of Honor
My sister, my best friend, my maid of honor. She’s been there for me from our hot wheel days, to dating, and now marriage. From kittens and climbing trees, to skinny dipping in Grandma's creek. From barbies to dresses. From dirt to nail polish. It is my honor to have her attempt to keep my dress in line.
Adam Hussman
Best Man
It started as a mutual bond over their love of Seattle and the band Nirvana. From there it blossomed to being roommates, being in a band together (briefly) to a bromance that even the distance from Illinois to California cannot separate. Reilly was honored to be Adam's best man a year ago, and he is even more honored to have Adam be his!
Kelly Dickenson
Bridesmaid
She changed my diapers and babysat me! She was and always will be an inspiring role model for me! She is the brilliant photographer behind all our beautiful engagement photos. Naturally she has to be by my side as I commit to the next chapter. She's been inspiring, she's talented, she's got the biggest heart, and best of all she's my sister!
Eric Boulden
Groomsman
Reilly and Eric went to the same high school but it wasn't until a couple years after college where they really got to know each other. Before they knew it, they were roommates for two years, barbecuing on their balcony at their college dorm (Despite WLC's rules) and taking trips to get food for their apartment so they had something to eat while watching football. It is Wednesday my dudes!
Zoey Dickenson
Bridesmaid
I, Ariana, have a confession. I learned to change diapers on this beautiful little girl. And one day after changing her diaper my forehead turned a little brown....now mind you I was 10 years old at the time and boy was I embarrassed. Joking aside I have had the pleasure to watch this little tiny human grow into a beautiful, strong fierce woman. She has a loving heart for anyone and everyone and its an honor to have her walk down the aisle with me!
Benjamin Wordell
Groomsman
Their mutual love of cars really seals this bond. We would talk about the newest sports cars or oldest trucks while waiting for Adam to get back from work so we could watch Breaking Bad. He was another good college roommate for 2 years. On paper, our interests may be different, but deep down it's a friendship that will be talked about for generations!
Annie Dickenson
Bridesmaid
I am proud to introduce one talented young woman! Watching my niece grow up has been special. I will always remember playing hide and go seek just about every time I baby-sat this girl! She was always very clever. She has become one beautiful young woman. I especially have to brag about her artistic talent in both dance and drawing! I am so happy to have her standing with me on this special day!
George Hogan
Groomsman
The famous brother of the groom! From pushing George around as a baby, to still pushing him around today (since Reilly will always be bigger and stronger,) we share a bond unlike any other. No matter where we are, our song is always "Closer to the Heart" (Yeah!) What a good man to have by my side. And ladies, he is one heck of a piano player!
Erika Ohlendorf
Bridesmaid
Okay, so this girl and I met by complete chance! I have had the privilege of telling her what to do from the beginning of our relationship to about, oh, until she graduated my personal training services! Once we started having our weekly pancake breakfast together with her cute-as-a-button son, the rest was history. Client turned best friend! I am very proud to be Erika's friend. She is a loving, genuine person. And I am so happy she will be with me on this day!
Joshua Helton
Groomsman
Josh is the kind of man you want by your side. From making sure I get into the weight room each and every day, coaching me in football, and even getting me up on a Saturday so that we can donate our last $10 to the fire station by buying donuts, he is a strong and mature man that I am honored to have here standing with me today.
Owen Uphoff
Ring Bearer
One of my most favorite people in the world! My absolute favorite Nephew!
Arliss Uphoff
Flower Girl
This cutie, who is arguably the spitting image of me when I was her age, is the best fit for the job!
Joseph O'Connor
Usher
My favorite brother in the whole world. Without him, I wouldn't play video games, drive a manual, or have learned how to take a punch (which he might argue I still can't do)! He's done everything a big brother should do, and he means the world to me!
Jimi Uphoff
Usher
An always welcomed second brother! Perhaps poking fun at me is his day job, but I love him just the same.
Bill Dickenson
Usher
Another very welcomed brother! Always willing to jump in and help the family! Honored to have him playing an important role on my big day!
