Wedding Party
Michelle Schroeder
Mother of the Bride
My mom doesn't just hold the title of "mom" in my life - she is my biggest cheerleader and my best friend. We have shared so many memories, especially our spontaneous adventures that always turn into something special. I am so grateful for her love, support, and the incredible example of kindness and strength she continues to be.
Lance Schroeder
Father of the Bride
My dad has always been a steady example of faith and hard work, showing me the importance of loving God and caring for family. His dedication of providing for us and leading with integrity has shaped who I am today. I am so grateful for the lessons he has taught me and for the strong foundation he continues to give our family.
Jodee Brentlinger
Mother of the Groom
My mom has shown me what hard work and dedication look like from the very beginning. She has always been someone I can count on, and I’m incredibly grateful for the love and support she’s given me throughout my life. Through all the ups and downs—and especially the craziness of the last few years—she’s always been right there behind me. I feel very lucky to have her as my mom.
Doug Brentlinger
Father of the Groom and Officiant
My dad has shown me what real love and selflessness look like through both his words and his actions. He’s someone I’ve always looked up to, and I try to emulate the way he approaches life and the way he cares for others. Having him as my dad has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. My dad has seen our relationship grow from the very beginning, and it’s only fitting that he’ll be the one officiating our wedding.
Lindsey Kuder
Matron of Honor
Lindsey isn't just my big sister - she's my lifelong best friend and a constant source of love and support. She is patient, kind, and fiercely loyal, always showing up in ways that make life brighter and more grounded. I am so grateful for the bond we share and for the role she has played in shaping who I am today. From growing up and talking about how we will be each others "MOH" to it becoming a reality, I couldn't imagine this day without her standing right beside me.
Sean Doyle
Best Man
Sean and I first met during our time at the University of Hawaii after I wandered into a dorm room one night coming back from the bar. What started as a random encounter quickly turned into a lifelong friendship. Since then, we’ve shared plenty of adventures, laughs, and memories together. With a personality and sense of humor that are truly one of a kind, Sean has been my best friend for years.
Kaitlyn O’Brien
Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn and I met at Boise State University. She was my "little" in our sorority days, but quickly became a lifelong friend and has been such a meaningful part of my life since. Kaitlyn is always down for an adventure and can make a friend wherever she goes. She is such a bright light in this world, and I am forever grateful to have her in my life. Kaitlyn also holds an extra special title in our story - she's the one who introduced us, and we cannot thank her enough for the role she played!
Brandon Hansen
Groomsman
Brandon and I met during our time at the University of Hawaii and quickly became close friends, eventually living together as roommates for a couple of years. We also spent time working together at the Blue Note, adding even more memories to our college days. With a golden-retriever-like personality and a smile that never seems to leave his face, Brandon is one of the easiest friends to be around. Over the years, he and I have shared countless adventures and unforgettable memories together.
Thea Brentlinger
Bridesmaid
Thea is Griffin's big sister and someone we both admire deeply. She's supportive, loyal, and such a steady presence in our lives. Thea has always shown hospitality for Griffin and I, always being there for us in an instant when we need a place to stay or a ride to and from the airport. She welcomed me into the Brentlinger family from the moment I met her, and she always has a way of including me. I feel so lucky to be gaining her not only as a sister-in-law, but as a friend.
Cameron Baxter
Groomsman
Cameron and I met during our time at the University of Hawaii. Cameron lived in a house up on the hill with his sailing teammates, which quickly became the go-to hangout spot during our sophomore year. Many great days were spent playing beer die at the beach and sharing plenty of laughs together. With his laid-back personality and ability to always keep the good times rolling, Cameron has been part of countless great memories, and I am grateful to have him standing by my side on the big day.
Rilee Brentlinger
Bridesmaid
Rilee is Griffin's younger sister and one of the most naturally funny and witty people you'll ever meet. She has a special way of including everyone and making them feel welcome wherever she goes. From the first time Rilee and I met, I instantly felt like I had a friend. She is always down for an adventure with Griffin and I and will always take the time to make me feel included, whether its an inside joke or a game of Nerts. I feel so lucky to be gaining her as a sister and friend and celebrating with her by our side.
Tyler Kuder
Groomsman
Tyler is my soon-to-be brother-in-law and has been incredibly welcoming since the very beginning. From the first time we met, he made me feel right at home in the family. Since then, we’ve gotten to know each other better through family gatherings and time spent together over the years. I’m grateful to have Tyler standing by my side—and I also enjoy kicking his butt in NCAA Football whenever we play.
Angela Schroeder
Bridesmaid
Angela is my new sister-in-law, and I feel so lucky to be able to also call her a friend. From countless of hours of her doing my hair, to planning events, to holidays with the family, we have shared countless laughs and deep conversations. She is strong, resilient, and incredibly spirited, bringing energy and heart wherever she goes. I'm so grateful to have gained such a vibrant person to stand beside me on our special day.
Trenten Schroeder
Groomsman
Trenten is Brena’s older brother, and I’m excited to officially gain him as a brother-in-law. We’ve spent time together at family gatherings over the years, and I’ve always appreciated how welcoming he’s been. I’m grateful to have him standing with us as we celebrate such a special day.
Willow Schroeder
Flower Girl
Our niece Willow is our sweet and sassy flower girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She is incredibly smart and brings joy and energy wherever she goes. We are so lucky to have her be part of our special day.
Bridger Kuder
Ring Bearer
Our nephew Bridger is our ring bearer and has the most fun and lovable personality at 1 year old. His smiles and playful energy lights up every room, and we are so excited to have him join us in celebrating this day.
Debbie Cobb
Honorary Family & Wedding Coordinator
Debbie is a longtime family friend who I grew up knowing as my "second mom". She has always been someone I could count on for support, guidance, and encouragement through the years. Often behind the scenes and so very humble, Debbie has the ability to make a vision into reality with her creative eye and organizing nature. It only feels right to have her play such a special role in this day.
Our Cats
Honorary Mention - Bert, Remi, Winnie, Teeny, and Dewie
We would love to have our fur babies be part of our big day; however, they are celebrating from the comfort of our home.
