Wedding Party
Ellie Boisjolie
Maid of Honor
Meet Amanda's Sister, Ellie. Amanda and Ellie have been close since a young age. Although completely opposite personalities, Amanda and Ellie enjoy doing a lot of the same activities; hockey, lacrosse, being on the lake, etc. The two of them do not agree on their interest in fishing. Amanda is so thankful to have such a supportive, younger sister, stand by her side, who she can continue to grow with.
Leah Brandner
Bridesmaid
Leah is Nate's older sister who always has the most positive way about her. Amanda and Leah have clicked from the start, maybe it's that eldest child connection. Leah is always down for a fun hike, kayak ride, or a nice and friendly card game. Amanda is so blessed to have Leah by her side on her big day, and also to continue to grow together, as new sisters, for the long run.
Michaela Thielen
Bridesmaid
Amanda and Michaela became best friends all from freshman high school math class. Although they went in different directions in college, that has not changed the relationship they continue to have. Put Amanda and Michaela together and you are bound to have a great time. They are forever friends and Amanda is truly honored to have Michaela on her wedding day and for each day after that.
Molly Muehlbauer
Honor Attendant
Meet Molly. Amanda and Molly met after college, out of the blue, and completely hit it off. One wonders how these two have not known each other longer. It is inevitable that Amanda and Molly are such great friends. The two of them love a good walk with the pups, Bible study, target run, and card games. Talk about competitive, Amanda and Nate vs Molly and Keith is one heck of a match-up when it comes to cards. Amanda and Molly even buck it up and go along with Nate and Keith's suggestion to play Catan, that says keepers written all over it.
Shea Bougie
Honor Attendant
Bring it back to high school orientation, Amanda and Shea first met there and immediately claimed to be lifelong friends. It was even documented on Instagram, with a selfie of the two of them watching Pretty Little Liars. Shea is someone that has always been there for Amanda. Amanda and Shea's relationship is forever growing and Amanda cannot wait to have Shea by her side as she becomes a Stanley.
Kristin Boisjolie
Mother of the Bride
Amanda's mother, Kristin, has always been the most supportive and loving mother. Kristin has the kindest soul and is a huge Nate fan as the two of them love a game of Cribbage. Amanda is the luckiest to have such a supportive, caring, mother and she owes it all to the woman who raised her.
Tim Boisjolie
Father of the Bride
Amanda's dad, Tim, is THE man. Tim is the king of dad jokes, make sure to ask him for one! Tim has a love for some good sarcasm but Amanda is without a doubt his soft spot for sure. Please give him some extra love tonight as his baby is getting married. Amanda has always been a daddy's girl from a young age when she would ask her dad to come lay with her in bed at night. Amanda could not seem to get enough dad time. Amanda would not be here today and would not know what type of man she should settle down with, if it wasn't for her dad's example. Nate meets all of those expectations, and Amanda is so excited to walk down the aisle with her father and his blessing.
Tommy Boisjolie
Groomsman
Tommy is Amanda's little brother and bestie forever. The two of them think alike and love to hang out, so Amanda thinks. But actually, Tommy is the best brother a girl can ask for. Nate met Amanda's brother, Tommy, when he came to her house to play cards. When he found out Nate was a football player, he immediately began to talk trash to Nate in any situation he could. Cards, golf, spike ball, it didn't matter. Nate didn't shy away and gave it right back to him. Through this new found brotherly competition, Nate and Tommy have become very close and Nate is very excited to get to have Tommy with him to celebrate such an important day in marrying his sister.
Will Heller
Usher
Will Heller has been Amanda's long-time friend, I mean like Kindergarten long. Will had a crush on Amanda in kindergarten, only because she could draw really good stars. Watch out, Nate. Amanda and Will have always been close friends and Amanda appreciates having such a great friend like Will and is so thankful to have him be a part of her and Nate's big day. Although Nate and Will's first interaction was Will beating him in football almost ten years ago, Nate has gotten over that loss and they have become good friends because of Amanda. Amanda grew up with Will and remains great friends with him to this day. Nate and Will are excited to continue their friendship and are very thankful to Amanda for introducing them.
Alex Larson
Usher
Alex and Nate became friends when they first played baseball together at 10 years old. They played sports and attended high school together before going to their respective colleges. They remained great friends and continue to hunt, fish, and hang out together on a regular basis. This relationship has continued to grow to this day, and they can't thank each other enough for being best friends their entire lives.
Austin Schulte
Groomsman
Austin and Nate met freshman year of college and immediately became best friends and teammates. Growing up in similar homes, they had a great connection and could relate to each other in any situation. There were many tough times that these two helped each other through, but many great times as well. Nate was even Austin's "wingman" on his "first date" with his now wife. They are friends for life and Nate is honored that Austin will be standing up with him on his wedding day.
Luke Stanley
Best Man
Being siblings, Luke and Nate had no choice but to be around each other every day. Their relationship grew as they grew up playing sports, messing around outside, and yes, even fighting each other. These fights may have led to a few broken bones and bruises, but they always made up and supported each other no matter what is going on in their lives. From being each others biggest supporters to standing with each other on Nate's big day their relationship has continued to grow and they are truly, best friends.
Donita Stanley
Mother of the Groom
Meet Donita, Nate's mom. She is one of the most selfless, caring people in the world. She has always been there for her baby boy no matter the situation. She has set a great example for Nate as to what to look for in his wife. No wonder Nate is marrying a stunning blonde!
Jay Stanley
Father of the Groom
Jay has been a huge part in Nate's life. Aside from being his father, he has been his coach, teacher, and even shouting match opponent. He has set a great example for Nate as to what a great Christian man should be, and Nate can't wait to have one of his biggest supporters with him on Amanda and his special day
