Bailey & Matthew
Wedding Party
Autumn Walker
Matron of Honor
My longest friendship of everyone on my side, even if she claims the first few years were forced. We first met in girl scouts and she has been stuck with me (and my family) ever since. With over 25 years of friendship, we have experienced all of life's ups and downs together. She tells it like it is and isn't afraid to pull out her teacher voice to make us listen. She even forces my Mom to make her a ham on any Holiday she comes to visit. Don't be alarmed if you see her choking me, it's tradition and her MOH duties wouldn't be complete without it.
Michael "Fitz" Fitzgerald
Best Man
I first met Michael (Fitz) on the freshman move in day for the Fraternity. Mike and his whole family were there and I, more than likely, greeted them with a beer in my hand. Fast Forward a few weeks/months, as I got to know Fitz more he asked me to be his Pledge Dad - I of course accepted. A lot of bonding and shenanigans later, we formed a friendship for the ages. A few years later, Fitz met Alison, the love of his life. She fit right into the friend group/our chosen family. He is always there if you need anything and is even willing to come fix your lawn after dealing with it all day. In true Fitzgerald fashion, he can host one hell of a social event.
Brianna Sneller
Bridesmaid
Officially known as our third wheel, I have known Bri since 4th grade. You would never know that we couldn't stand each other until High School with as close as we are today. I can always count on her to hit up a random country concert, sporting event, chill at the lake or yell until we have no voice at Arrowhead.
Tanner Feeback
Groomsman
I met Tanner freshman year at his off-campus apartment through a few of the guys, that would soon become my Fraternity brothers, in my dorm. We had similar backgrounds in our education and he was always a semester ahead of me in Economics. This was was beneficial for me when needing help with my studies. Whether it’s a chill weekend out at the farm grilling and drinking or traveling and going to sporting events with our significant others, Tanner always knows how to get the people to have a good time at any occasion. Whether you all know it or not Tanner has a softer side. He has been there for me through times that weren’t always the easiest with unwavering support and of course JD.
Angie Podge
Bridesmaid
I met Angie on our first day in middle school and we instantly clicked. She is the one person who likes having their picture taken more than me and makes my shopping problem seem like normal spending. Don't let her catch you going to bed with a full face of makeup because she will dangle a makeup wipe over your face until you give in.
Jon Wright
Groomsman
Jon was a year older than me in college, we met while the guys were rushing the fraternity. It all started on the gritty fields of Flag Football where we connected for many a slip screens right up the middle for touchdowns. Eventually we all ended up on the same floor in the Fraternity,. To everyone’s shock this led resulted in many shenanigans, pranks, and fun nights with friends/brothers that led to lifelong relationships. Our love of sports has carried over to keeping up with an Old Man softball league for the last 10 years, still winning a few championships. Also Go Chiefs!!
Natalie Jones
Bridesmaid
I've known Natalie since Elementary school. We share a love of the finer foods in life: chicken tenders and DP. You'll never meet a bigger hypochondriac than her. She has cured herself of so many ailments, it's truly a miracle. Look out for her alter ego Natasha, she is a party animal!
Jeff Campbell
Groomsman
I met Jeff Freshman year in the dorms and a semester later we became roommates. We served on the Executive Board in the Fraternity at the same time, Jeff being the Dictator and Matt being historian AKA the one who takes pictures of all events/shenanigans. After graduation Jeff moved away for work, which gave us the chance take trips or travel to visit each other - those trips now include our partners . We look forward to a lifetime of more trips and visiting wherever Jeff relocates as I know neither of us will let that get in the way of our brotherhood.
Dani Feeback
Bridesmaid
This gem was the first girlfriend from Matt's friends I met in January 2013. Matt & I got snowed in at the farm and she bullied me in to drinking terrible peppermint vodka because I refused to do Jaeger Bombs. Whether we're soaking up sunshine at the lake or having a lazy weekend binging Netflix we will always find a way to laugh until it hurts.
Josh Mathiasmeier
Groomsman
Josh and I also lived on the same dorm floor freshman year. Although never joining the Fraternity, he was an honorary member with most of our intramural teams and general debauchery. We lived together for a few years before graduation, working together at KSU and the city of Manhattan. Spending many a nights in the summers hanging out, enjoy a beverage or two, when all the students had left and the town was a lot quieter. It probably kept us both of trouble working as much as we did. Through the years, we have both grown up, allegedly, but still have a fun time and revert back to being ornery when we get together.
Austin Gosch
Flower Man
I met Austin the same snowy weekend in January 2013, but we didn't get close until 2020 after he moved to MO. Although we haven't been friends long, it feels like it's been a lifetime. We are probably the most polar opposite yet similar of all my friends. He once ruined an important part of a TV show we both watch so proceed with caution if you're behind on a show - he loves spoilers!
Charley "Kunu" Harmon
Flower Man
Charlie aka Kunu is my great grandson from the frat house. His freshman year allegedly consisted of picking me up from the bars a time or two, but in those times I got to know Kunu and we became friends. Charley's free and independent spirit carries over into everything he does; he is one of the most down to earth guys you will ever find. You can count on him to drop everything to help you out and is always willing to open up their house (or block) for visiting guests out to Logan. If there is anybody who loves the outdoors and camping more than us it is Kunu and we look forward to many more outdoor adventures together.
Shaun Hodge
Usher
Shaun is the oldest of us three boys. We work together and have for 10 years to the day of the wedding. Shaun has always been there for me even if at that time he didn't know it. He has always been super competitive in everything. That competitiveness has instilled a drive and work ethic in him that makes me want to be better in all facets of my life. Shaun is probably the busiest person I know, most of which brings on himself be because he is a crazy person, but that would never stop him from helping anyone that asked.
Jacob Hodge
Usher
Jake is the youngest of us three boys. Although until about my sophomore year in high school, when I finally had a growth spurt, Jake was taller than me. For the record, he is back to being taller than me. He has always been extremely smart and driven, which has carried over to him getting a full ride for Med School - I cannot begin to say how proud I was of him. We still get in to trouble even though we don't all live under the same roof anymore. Despite that, I know Jake would be there for me at a moments notice.
Hailey "Twin" Hodge
Guest Book Attendant
Hailey is the oldest niece from the Hodge Family. Since her name is the same as Bailey's, except the first letter she deemed them twins. We have loved watching her grow in to the person she is and are so excited to have her be part of our special day.
