Ashley & Paul
Wedding Party
Christel Gilbreath
Matron of Honor
We've been best friends since the third grade. She’s often referred to as the "good daughter" by my very own father; she’s the Yin to my Yang. One day we will write a fabulous book about life and all its quirks! Excited to have her stand next to me on our wedding day!
Suzanne Richards
Matron of Honor
She has been my Bestie since she moved back from London in the eighth grade and of course I had to ask if she ever met Prince William. She might get random calls about spelling and grammar🤷♀️ laughs and always helps out. I’m so grateful for our friendship and thrilled to have you as my MOH!!! I look forward to planning things with you and thanks in advance for dealing with me🤣🤷♀️
Lisa Guzik
Bridesmaid
We met freshman year of our highschool career and haven’t really skipped a life milestone since. From homecomings, proms, nightlife, Iowa vs. Iowa State tailgating, to trips to the Dells!! Our list can go on and on. Glad that we have over half our life worth of memories and excited to make more in Mexico as well!
Marta Dyer

My Polish princess!!! Ohhh Marta where do I begin, or not?! Lol. Of course thankful for our Track days together because it brought me you and our track sleepovers. I'm always looking forward to our next trip to see one another!
Jessica Faughn

We met during our teen years, running wild through them and our twenties. The memories we made during those times always makes for some amazing laughs over a glass of wine 🍷 in our thirties! So thankful our friendship has withstood the tests of it all lol 😂 Thanks for all that you do to help us pull this wedding together!
Liz Rasnick
Bridesmaid
Liz and i have been friends since our late teens, when spending every single day of summer break together was the norm!! She and my other bridesmaid Lindsay are sisters and I’ve become lucky enough to have them as friends that turned into family as well! Liz got married last year in Hawaii! She and her Hubs Dusty are amazing climbers. Their travels and adventures put mine and Paulie's to shame. She inspires me to be the better version of myself every time I’m with her.
Lindsay Schafer
Bridesmaid
We met running track together freshmen year of high school and have been running through life together ever since!
Nina Larson
Bridesmaid
Christina Marie, aka Nina!! She’s my baby niece. I remember like it was yesterday meeting her at two months old. She has always been a sweet, gentle loving little girl whose turning into a remarkable young lady! I’m so proud of her and happy too have her standing up on my wedding day!
Allie Amin
Bridesmaid
Allie and I met about 10 years ago when she started dating her now husband Anay, who happens to be one of my close friends! We instantly clicked; the friendship that has formed seems timeless, like she’s been in our friends group forever! She’s been my saving grace for the past four years as her son has become Charlie (my nanny kids BFF).
Steph Doyle
Bridesmaid
Steph is Paul's sister, and my soon-to-be sister! She’s welcomed me into their family with open arms. We met a few months after Paul and I started dating when we went to dinner at Laschets’ Inn. We’ve already had some great experiences from traveling to Boston for the Cubbies game ⚾️ Lady Gaga at Wrigley, and fun dinners out. Excited to make more family memories together!
Courtney Cirone
Personal Attendant
What else can I say? The girl keeps my shit together! Courtney gets married in October and I get to be her personal attendant as well! She’s a teacher at my nanny kids school, which has led to us becoming such close friends and having fun when we're not surrounded by the kids.
Jeff Troutman
Best Man
Jeff has been one of my best friends since high school. He’s been one of those guys that I can count on for anything and in any situation.
Jason Labus
Groomsman
Jay Boy! I’ve known Jay since freshman orientation and having lockers next to each other all through high school. He’s been one of my best friends who I can count on at anytime.
Nick Labus
Groomsman
Nick, Brother of Jay. I’ve also known him since freshman orientation. He always like to know what’s going on to make sure everything is alright and he’s been one of my best friends for over 20 years
Adam Alt
Groomsman
Adam Alt has been one of my best friends since high school and actually got me started in the security business when I was drunk. Alty always wants to make sure everything is going well and that everyone is happy and having a good time.
Mike Kane
Groomsman
Mike has been one of my best friends since high school even though we don’t talk all the time because of our busy schedules. I can give him a call if I just need to talk or if in trouble he will be there
Micheal Crittendon
Groomsman
What can I say about Critty, 1st what a POS. Jeff brought him around about 10 years ago and he loves to party. He’s always ready to do something if it’s grabbing a couple beers, going to a sporting event, concert or especially Vacation. Critty is a great guy who has a good heart and wants to make sure everything is ok
Tom Elliott
Groomsman
Tommy and I have been friends for about 6 years. We have been very close. This man is one of the smartest men I know and I am able to go to Tommy for some advice. We also like to throw a couple back and have a good time watching the games and playing softball. Tommy is a great guy just don’t talk bad about his Mustangs or wear anything longhorns
Tom Klebba
Groomsman
Kleebs and I known each other when we were young and when we were young we used to beat the crap out of each other. We didn’t talk for awhile, but while working in the bar industry we reconnected and it’s been a hell of a time doing different and spontaneous things.
Ryan Doyle
Groomsman
Ryan has been my brother in law for close to 10 years. He’s like a brother to me, we’ve been through a lot together. I will have to say Ryan has a big family & I have small one, probably one of the best feelings is that his family took us in as their own. I’m so happy that Ryan is married to my sister because it helps me with my relationship with Ashley.
Justin Larson
Groomsman
Justin and I actually went to the same college over 10 years ago. Then when I met Justin through my future bride we realized we played football at the same college together. Justin loves to torcher Ashley and I think it’s hilarious how they act towards each other & Ashley thinks he’s always wrong. I can count on him if Ashley & I are in any trouble. I can’t wait to be part of this family with Doug, Donna, James, & Jeanine.
Annie Doyle
Flower Girl
What can I say about Annie, sorry Ashley she is still my #1. She’s my niece, my goddaughter, & my hockey player. I was there the day you were born and in the words of your grandmother “you’re so precious.” But in my eyes you’re the best thing ever that happened in my life besides Ashley & usually gets anything from me. In Ashley’s words “you are totally wrapped around her finger.” The last thing I want to say is that Ashley & I love you so much.
Brooklyn O’Dell
Flower Girl
Brooklyn aka Miss B, b- money!!! She’s sassy and sweet alll rolled into one cute little girl! She’s a twin to Luke, the only girl in the bunch and is one tough cookie who plays hockey! I’ve had the pleasure of watching her grow up as she’s one of four of my nanny kids and they’re all playing such an important roll in our wedding day!
Luke O’Dell
Ring Bearer
Luke, he is the sweetest and craziest O’Dell kiddo of the whole crew. He’s also so creative, caring. I love how he’s found a creative outlet in preforming in plays. He could build LEGO’s and play with them after built for hours and days. I’m excited to see where he goes in this world but for now being his nanny is the best! Love, that he and Charlie are walking down the isle together in our wedding as ring bearers!!
Charlie O’Dell
Ring Master
Char char!!! He’s the fourth kid, baby of my nanny kids and has me wrapped around his finger, lol 😂 my favorite thought of char, is how well he equally balances his family. When he was born i remember Eric telling the twins and jack when they asked if they would have anymore babies, he responded with Charlie perfectly completed their family.❤️Charlie is my little love, it’s been one of my life’s greatest gifts watching him grow into the little man he is today. I’m so honored to have him and all the O’dell kiddos in our wedding and him as our ring master!
Jimmy Larson

Jimmy bean,Jimmy boy, jimmmmy. This is my handsome, caring,funny, sweet, genuine, smart, athletic nephew jimmy❤️ he’s a junior in high school and plays baseball ⚾️ Paul and I loved watching him play last spring in cali. Thanks for being such a big part of Paul and mine special day! He’s excited to gain so many more nieces and now some nephews!!!
Jack O’Dell
Junior Groomsmen
Jack, he’s sweet, smart, funny and bit of a competitive soul. He’s also the oldest of my nanny kids and one heck of a hockey player at that! I’m so happy that he and all his siblings get to be a part of mine and Paulies big day, they mean the world to me and just love how much Paul takes an interest in all of jacks sports too.
