Wedding Party
Kristi Jones
Maid of Honor
Kristi has been one of my most loyal friends for over 10 years, all the way back to when I called her Krispy. She routinely wakes up at 5am to work out, a discipline that I will always envy and never acquire. She recently married her High School sweetheart and my brother's best friend, Dillon Jones. I happened to be her Maid of Honor, so really I'm just making her pay me back.
Mark Schwichtenberg
Best Man
The worst and the best all at the same time.
Anna Dickie
Maid of Honor
Anna, how have we only known one another for four years? This is a fact that will not seem appropriate until we are decades into friendship, because it feels like we are already there. Anna has been one of my dearest friends and sisters since moving to Minneapolis. She has shaped so much of what my life is here. She will also be nine months pregnant at our wedding, and she will rock it.
William Van De Crommert
Groomsman
The most talented of the bunch. Let's be honest.
Gracie Mentry
Bridesmaid
A soft and tender elementary school teacher with an unending and surprising amount of sass. Gracie has quickly become one of my greatest friends, and not only because we share a weakness for spicy Thai food, but because she teaches me the arts of patience, well timed wit, and badassery every day.
Erik Bear
Groomsman
GINGER GOD / BFFL
Brittany Stepp
Bridesmaid
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START. Brittany Stepp is one of the best people to ever walk amongst us. Brittany and her husband, Major, currently live in Mijas Spain, which is like a second home to Austin and I. She has changed my life for the better 1,000 times over, and makes a real mean Sangria.
Peter Mattis
Groomsman
Really tall man. Perfect human being.
Victoria Bruhn
Bridesmaid
Tori is not only one of my greatest friends, but my favorite and only sister. It was her and I against our gaggle of brothers, and we like to think that we have them wrapped around our little fingers. Tori is one of the giggliest and kindest souls ever to exist, perhaps with the exception of Winnie the Pooh.
Dion Whitfield
Groomsman
GOOD OL' BOY
Kaitlyn Pelt
Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn strolled up to me nine years ago, hugged me, declared us friends, and we've been sharing slices of pie ever since. Kait, her husband Jeff, and their boy Liam make me laugh harder than most people do. Her hair is as vibrant and fiery as she is, and she has the singing voice of an actual angel.
Father Abe
Groomsman
(AKA Zachary Allan H Abrahamson) My hip friend.
Justin Bruhn
Bridesman
Always the funniest person in the room, Justin is my older brother, the fearless leader of the Bruhn children, and my neighbor. His wit knows no bounds, and his knowledge of historical events makes my mind spin. He is one of my closest friends and has an impressive designer sock collection.
Derek Spillers
Groomsman
We met straight outta the womb.
William Bruhn
Bridesman
He's better than everyone at everything ever. We love him for it, and we envy him for it. Will is one of five Bruhn children and is smack in the middle of all of us. He's the best looking one. It's fine.
Jonathan Maley
Groomsman
The absolute kindest man you will ever meet. seriously.
Logan Bruhn
Bridesman
It's as if the universe knew that he would be my parent's last child, and pumped him full of all the knowledge to be had in the world. He's as smart as you can be before it's weird, and one of the kindest people to exist. He's an old soul, always the most talented person in the room, and has an incredibly infectious laugh. You'll see him behind the piano during the wedding, so make sure to check out his groove face. It's so good.
