Our Love Story
The Wedding Party
Brooke Budhram
Maid of Honor
Brooke has been my best friend for over 15 years. Without a doubt we have shaped each other into who we are today. This girl truly means so much to me. She has stood besides me throughout everything. I couldn't imagine my life without her! She has the ability to light up any room with her smile. She is my beautiful, kind-hearted, down to earth unbiological sister!
Trevor Barthel
Best Man
Trevor has been my best bud since high school when we first met. We were always thinking about the next bite and wishing we were on em' , that passion for fishing and hunting is what brought us closer. And if it wasn't that, it was probably talking about anything surrounding Minnesota sports, most likely the Vikings. He's my bro and I'm thankful our paths crossed.
Spencer Ledwein
Groomsman
Spencer is another I'm glad to call my friend. He is a straight grinder (crazy passion for fishing and hunting) and isn't afraid to put in the work to get it done. I think we share that mentality and I feel we have elevated our passion by knowing each other. He is always a fun guy to be around and always down to crack some beers!
Sam Brightbill
Bridesmaid
Sam is such a soft hearted, loyal bestie of mine. She is no doubt one of a kind. We've always been so close throughout the years and I wouldn't change that for the world. She truly brings the life to the dance floor; she will always and forever be my dancing partner!
Tyler Ledwein
Groomsman
I first bumped into Tyler when we had both entered an ice fishing tournament on Clearwater lake years back. I instantly was curious to see if he knew his stuff and to see what he was about. Sure enough, I learned the dude was a straight grinder as well ( crazy passion for fishing and hunting ) and I knew we would get along quite well. He keeps it real and I'm glad he's one of my boys.
Silvonna Elletson
Bridesmaid
Silvonna is the sweetest girl you will ever meet. She could be having the worst day ever and you wouldn't be able to tell. We could go months and months without seeing one another and pick up right where where we left off. Everyone should have a friend like her in their life!
Isaiah Schorn
Groomsman
Isaiah is my brother. We helped shape each other into the people we are today. We gave each other plenty of trouble growing up but I still wouldn't trade that for anything. He is an MP ( Military Police) and has served in Cuba at Guantanamo Bay... I am lucky to have him as a brother and fortunate to have him stand by my side.
Carlie Smothers
Bridesmaid
Carlie is my girl who always tells it like it is. I value how she always speaks her mind. I can always count on her and that is a quality every friend should have. She always knows how to have a good time. Even though we are miles apart, we still are as close as ever.
Patrick Sheehan
Groomsman
Patrick came into my life shortly after I started dating Samantha. They grew up together and have remained friends for many years. We got along well right away and Samantha's friend turned into my buddy . He's another guy that keeps it real and I appreciate that.
Brittany Grotte
Bridesmaid
I got the pleasure of meeting Brittany almost four years ago, and I am so grateful that I did. I immediately knew that we would become amazing friends! She is such a ray of sunshine and makes a permanent mark on your heart! Her infectious laugh can draw a crowd for miles. I am so fortunate to have her by my side.
Travis Bukosky
Groomsman
Travis is one of Samantha's brothers , and I'm happy to have him as a future brother of mine. He loves his family and he's always been someone we can count on. He's simply a great dude and I'm grateful to call him a buddy.
