Wedding Party
Kelsey Johnson
Maid of Honor
Kelsey and I have known each other since birth. We are commonly referred to as “twin cousins” with how similar we are. We've shared countless memories, from silly inside jokes that only we understand, to late-night conversations where we bared our souls, to adventures that pushed us out of our comfort zones. She’s been my rock during tough times, my biggest cheerleader during triumphs, and the person I can always count on to make me laugh, even on my darkest days. Kelsey is my best friend, my confidant, my partner in crime. There’s something so beautiful about having someone to go through every single chapter of life together with. I cherish every moment we've spent together, and I can't wait to create countless more memories with you by my side.
Amber Hornbeck
Bridesmaid
Amber is the older sister I always wanted and dreamed of having. She has guided me through so many hard decisions, given me endless advice even when I don’t listen, and is always a listening ear with no judgement. She’s been there for me through thick and thin, celebrated all my accomplishments and held my hand through every challenge. We have shared some of the greatest memories in traveling, cheer comps, Disney trips, concerts, marg dates, Seahawks games and so much more. She is the person that will drop any and everything the second I need her with zero hesitation. She has taught me so much about life, about love, and most importantly, about the power of true friendship. I will never be able to properly articulate how grateful I am for her and how blessed I am to have her by my side.
Rebecca Pentland
Bridesmaid
Rebecca and I met at Auburn VW. We were coworkers that quickly became best friends. We are the exact polar opposite of each other in so many ways but that’s what makes our friendship so special. From brunch dates, traveling together, game nights, bonfires, remodeling my house, rotting on the couch, you name it and Rebecca has been there. We have shared some amazing adventures that have become some of the most cherished memories of my life. I am so incredibly grateful for her friendship and sisterhood and blessed to have her standing next to me for this next chapter. Here's to a lifetime of laughter, support, and unbreakable friendship.
Kaylee Lockhart
Bridesmaid
Kaylee and I have known each other since our awkward teenage years. We call each other twin because we share the same birthday! Through all of the years, all of the seasons, all of the crazy things life has thrown our way, one thing will stay consistent, we are blessed in knowing we will always have each other to run to. Kaylee was present the night of our engagement and was so wonderful to capture the pictures for us to treasure forever. I am so lucky to have you in my life. Thank you for being the best friend anyone could ask for, for always believing in me, and for making every day a little brighter. I can’t wait for many more years of laughter, shared dreams, and everlasting friendship.
Riley Vail
Bridesmaid
Riley and I met in the trenches of Nissan in Auburn. We were coworkers who immediately hit it off. We share the same love of margaritas and Mexican food. We survived the brutal days of work by laughing hysterically together, hiding in my office and convincing our boss everything was a two person job. We quickly became very close and now are sharing roles in each other’s weddings this year! I can't help but feel incredibly grateful for the bond we share. From the moment we met, I knew there was something special about her - a genuine warmth, a contagious laughter, and a willingness to always be there, no matter what. Riley is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet and to know her is to love her. I pray everyone gets the chance to have a friend like her in their lifetime.
Kyle Blondin
Best Man
No bond is stronger than brotherhood. A bond that was created at such a young age as kids and has developed through the years to where we are today. I have had the privilege to be one who looks up to Kyle as an older brother, as family. There are so many stories, memories, laughs and cheers I could share that highlight the incredible relationship I have with him, but I'd rather share something about who he is to me. Kyle is a strong willed, intellectual leader. Having the utmost integrity and loyalty, there isn't a man out there like him. You will always hear "we will figure it out" when things go arye having a nack for making things work, putting others before himself. Without question, I can confidently say that Kyle has your best interest at heart and I'm proud to call him my brother.
Hannah Boekelman
Groomswoman
There isn't enough words to describe what makes Hannah so special to me. From helping teach her how to walk as a kid, to seeing her off to college in another state. She has become a strong, intelligent individual I'm proud to call my sister. Her success is nothing short of exemplary. As we continue to grow through life's challenges and strengthen the foundation as siblings, I'm blessed to have Hannah by my side on this special day.
Austin Weiher
Groomsman
Only a handful of people understand what it means to be what I call a Day 1. To explain what that means is best described what Austin and I have built since high school when we met. Assembled and compounded over 16 years with fun, trust, respect, accountability and growth, our relationship has always been persuing the best versions of not only ourselves but for each other. Even while in another state striving for his dream of a pro basketball athlete it does not hinder the support we have for each other. One thing Austin and I have always said to each other is we will never forget the ones who were there when it all started, and through the journey to our future and success. No one is more deserving of a status as a Day 1 than Austin. I'm grateful to have him here with me to celebrate this day and the lifelong friendship to come.
Cory Beck
Groomsman
Value comes in all shapes and forms. To me value is most prevalent in people. One of those people is Cory. It's rare to have a circle of friends that you can rely on. Someone to challenge you, while not forgetting to have to some fun along the way. Cory has been in my circle since we were in elementary school when we first met. He has an energetic and passionate personality, a strong drive for success, that has pushed me in so many areas to grow outside my comfort zone. Whether it's social confidence, or being competitive, pushing each other through previous limitations, there are so many powerful experiences over the years with Cory that have made us into what we have today. I wouldn't have it any other way.
JJ Blondin
Groomsman
It's not by chance that JJ and I have grown our friendship over the years. Vicariously seeing him grow up through Kyle as the protective older brother. To who he has become as a man seeing through my own eyes, and capturing opportunities presented to be included in each others lives. He is a successful, caring young man. His ambitions to level up, making an impact doing things he loves, has inspired and motivated me to pursue my own. It's a gift to always be able to pick up where we left off when opportunities become available, and the dynamic when we are all together is always one for the books.
