Cheyenne & Ben
Wedding Party
Sarah Hinrichsen
Maid of Honor
Thanks to this woman, my life has been so much more exciting than it ever would've been these past 4 years. From Disney to concerts to back porch living to IPAs all day. We have laughed as much as we've cried together. As far as everyone knows, she's of course Ben's big sister, but we've all established that she belongs to me these days ;). I'm not only gaining a sister through this, I have gained a forever best friend!
Shantele Johnston
Bridesmaid
Better known as Telly. We met in high school in Shawnee, KS back in 2006. We've gone on many trips together, we've discussed how our lives are not going to turn out, we had our first tequila shots together and we've loved and we've argued through it all. We've tackled all kinds of life side by side and we still have so much more life to go. She's been a rock and she's been a support pillar and I can't imagine anyone else standing right next to me as I marry Ben.
Corey Warner
Bridesmaid
Corey and I have known each other for almost 20 years. She's a little sister to me and she was always a better softball player, which I never would've admitted. Her father and my mother dated for a good 12 years so that meant we were a solidified sister duo. Through all phases in our lives, we've never lost touch. She's always been the honest person in my life and immediately told me when she knew something wasn't going to work out... and she was right. The day she met Ben she told me "I think you finally got it right." I love her for her quirks, her weirdness, and her dedication. Her heart, her mind, and her words continue to stun me and I don't know what I'd do without her.
Hillary VanDeBerghe
Bridesmaid
Hillary and I met back in high school in Kansas. We both were the new kids at school and we immediately bonded. We were awesome friends through school so much so we went to college together. While in college, Hillary had her first baby girl and we both had the best pregnancy with Isabella! We were rarely separated for the entire 9 months. I remember I told her I was moving to Seattle and through her madness was how happy she was for me. She told me to go for it and she couldn't wait to visit. We've continued our friendship and I am so thankful for this woman, even 10 years later.
Ash Mitchell
Bridesmaid
My twin flame soul sister! This woman is one of the most genuine and loving individuals you will ever meet. I met Ash through the Montague family. She is Ben's cousin and will soon be mine too! She teaches me things every day and she never fails to make sure someone knows they are SO loved. I think anyone in the world could hope to have an ounce of the compassion and sincerity that this woman has. We could all use a little Ash in our hearts! I love you Ash, and I can't wait to gain another family member in this amazing woman gang we've got going. #sistersthough
Sara Bickel
Bridesmaid
What feels like decades ago, I met the Bickel family when I was referred to them to be their twin's family nanny. Little did we all know that me working as their nanny meant that Sara and Ryan had just adopted a 24 year old into their family. I worked for the Bickel's for a full and fullfilling two years. Once the twins were off to school, I no longer was their nanny. However, that didn't stop us all from making sure we had monthly happy hour meets and made sure to celebrate any accomplishment in all of our lives. Sara has served as a mom to me, a sister, a truth teller, and always has had my back. Her and Ryan have included Ben and I in the twin's lives and I couldn't be more grateful for that. Thanks for being such an amazing woman role model in my life, you woman are my favorite gem!!
Megan O'Keefe
Bridesmaid
Megs and I met about 4 years ago working together. I remember the second I saw her, she looked like she stepped straight out of a Nordstrom magazine. We bonded over happy hours after work and tinder dates gone wrong. I knew she was meant to be for me when she came through at a time no one else had. She has a special place in my heart and I'm so happy we have become such great friends.
Matt Davis
Groomsman
Matty and I have had some wild adventures; some half way around the world. One of the first people to help cultivate my love of cinema, it was a quick bond. Matt has been and will always be one of my best friends.
Sam Hinrichsen
Groomsman
Sam is my brother (in-law); so I have to but I also want to.
Ethan Jennings
Groomsman
One of my oldest and dearest friends; I have known Ethan since the 7th grade. He taught me the very first song I could play on guitar and introduced me to bands that changed my life. And to this day Ethan is still one of the voices inside my head when I'm doing something stupid. A true friend.
Chris Mitchell
Groomsman
The first wedding I was invited to be a part of was Chris marrying my cousin Ash. I remember how honored and touched I was when Chris called to ask me to be a groomsmen. When Chey and I became engaged I knew that Chris had to be the first one asked, a small way to show how much he means to me.
Mike Shill
Groomsman
The Shillenium Falcon. Mike has been there for me countless times, without hesitation. An incredibly loyal and loving friend, I couldn't imagine getting married without him there.
Oscar Gubelman
Groomsman
The Goobs. What can I say about Oscar that he won't say himself, WAY louder. The life of the party, Oscar is one of those people you can do something awesome with or nothing at all and have a blast either way. The thing I love most about Oscar is no matter what, you always get Oscar. I lost the game.
Carson Higgins
Groomsman
When I met Carson he was an instant friend; my musical buddy. We both loved musical theatre and film but Carson was the one to introduce me to new musicals and classic films I didn't know I already loved. Just like Carson.
