Maid of Honor
Danielle is Brianne's caring, cool younger sister who is as fun as she is rational. To know her is to love her!

Brianne insists Danielle is a big reason she and Bryce are together after having talked some sense into her.
Groomsman
Andy and Bryce have been side by side since childhood, from teammates in basketball and baseball to roommates all 4 years at UNI to a year together in Des Moines. Now Andy’s off the grid in Oregon (no cell phone!), but still floods Bryce with Instagram Reels. Here’s to hoping he makes the wedding!
Bridesmaid
Andrea is Brianne's cousin turned college roommate and best friend. From childhood trips to Grandma’s farm to family visits in Des Moines, Andrea has been a constant in Brianne's life. You will catch them bonding over Iowa State, their teen heart throbs, or a good Des Moines brewery.
Groomsman
Tanner and Bryce's friendship began in an indoor golf league back in 2014 and quickly turned into quite the bromance. Before Brianne, Bryce was often a third wheel to Tanner and his wife, Madison - complete with board games and journeys around Des Moines.
Bridesmaid
Meggie and Brianne are kindred spirits who met freshman year of college on their dorm floor. When you spot one, the other is usually close by. They have a shared love of many things, from Taylor Swift to a good patio, an afternoon baseball game, and reality tv.
Groomsman
Jared and Bryce met where all good friendships start - golf league. For a decade now, Jared has been a close friend who shares some of Bryce's favorite pastimes: golf, bowling, and a casual bar crawl. Bryce is especially excited to have turned Jared into a fellow bowling lover.

Brooke and Brianne lived on the same dorm floor at Iowa State and became best friends. She’s a one‑of‑a‑kind friend you can be totally yourself with, bringing out Brianne’s silly side. She’ll love you as much as she’ll make you laugh - their friendship is full of both!
Groomsman
Jake and Bryce’s friendship goes back to middle school. In high school, they worked at Fareway, Jake in Produce and Bryce in the dairy cooler, collecting plenty of stories along the way. These days, they’re die‑hard Braves fans, texting throughout the season to discuss what’s gone wrong with the team.
Bridesmaid
Katie and Brianne were roommates in Milwaukee for their first job out of college. From the start, they were two peas in a pod, their friendship rooted in adventure and ‘why nots’. Through navigating adulthood, their travels, and countless visits between DSM and MKE, their bond has grown into a forever friendship.
Groomsman
Cole is Brianne's brother. Cole and Bryce share similar interests, including sports - although Cole wasn't happy to hear about Brianne's new affection for the Bills. Cole has a competitive spirit, so he told Bryce he couldn't marry Brie until Bryce beat him in golf. Thank goodness Bryce clipped him one round!
Bridesmaid
Marnie is Brianne's sister-in-law. They had a fast connection from the beginning. You can count on her to be a partner in crime who is always in your corner, which turned unfortunate when her and Bryce decided to form an "outlaws" coalition to leverage whenever the in-laws need a one-up on the Pudenz family.
Groomsman
Jamie and Bryce were both math teachers at Knoxville. They coached cross country together and would go on offseason runs where Jamie regularly ruined Bryce’s life with how fast he was. They also loved heading to the raceway and spending summer days cruising down the river on Jamie’s boat.
Bridesmaid
Abby and Brianne are cousins who grew up close, summers and holidays spent together. Their friendship deepened in adulthood after they returned to Des Moines. They're the perfect balance - where Brianne is passionate and outgoing, Abby is calm and sweet. Together they are fun-loving, sharing many giggles.

Bridesmaid
Megan and Brianne formed an instant friendship when Brianne’s cousin started dating Megan over eight years ago. Since then, they’ve shared countless adventures around Des Moines. Megan is a friend you can go to with anything - the ‘take it to the grave' type, and their friendship has only grown stronger with time.
Officiant
Chris aka "Goo" (Bryce gets weird when Brianne uses his real name) is one of Bryce's childhood friends. Over the years, they have spent plenty of time causing a ruckus - working at Fareway, pranking each other in High School (much to Bryce's dad's dismay), and going back and forth between UNI and Wartburg. They’re the kind of friends who pick up right where they leave off.
Flower Girl
Sylvie is Colin and Kyndra's daughter and Bryce (and soon to be Brianne’s!) first and only niece. She loves dancing, karaoke with Mom, and "golfing” with Dad - meaning she rides in the cart and uses the bunkers as her sandbox.
Usher
Jerry is the youngest of the Kockler brothers, often having been mistaken as the youngest Lobdell on vacations (blonde hair, blue eyes). After college, he and Bryce spent nights in Clear Lake golfing, playing pick-up basketball, and hanging out. These days, they're teammates on the Alley Ratz bowling squad.
Usher
Ozzie and Bryce grew up as neighborhood friends, spending countless hours playing driveway football and wiffleball. As they grew older, they traded games for “work” at the Clear Lake little league, Mario Baseball, and late nights around the campfire after baseball games.
Usher
Brock is the Adams brother who always seemed to end up on Bryce’s team for driveway football, wiffleball, and everything in between (bumper pool). He’s the kind of guy who instantly makes any gathering more fun just by showing up.
Usher
Mac is the youngest of the Adams boys. Bryce babysat him (minus diaper duty), coached his 7th grade basketball team, and their friendship grew into adulthood. Mac is the life of the party, and there is never a dull moment with him around.
