Wedding Party

We are incredibly blessed to have such an amazing group of family and friends to stand by us on our wedding day. Please read below a little snippet to meet and read about each of our bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Kaitlyn Goodrich

Maid of Honor

Kaitlyn is a friend of the bride. Brit and Kaitlyn met in college and they have been besties ever since! Kaitlyn lived across the hall from Brit while attending UC. On their day off from classes, Kaitlyn and Brit were often playing guitar hero and drinking mimosas while waiting on Thursday night football to start. When Brit met Cody, the three could always be found at the pool with a pack of seltzers in hand and would often complete the night with the three medium pizza deal from LaRosa's. Kaitlyn is a friend that you can always count on to be by your side through any situation and always have your back (even if you're wrong). She is a loyal friend to a fault. Kaitlyn is a lover of all things Cleveland and is guaranteed to be found on the dance floor doing the electric slide!


Cory Kriechbaum

Best Man

Cory is the best man and older brother of the groom. From some insane games in NCAA football over the years that led to some controversy and gronk-spiked controllers, to drinking beers and watching sports there is always some competitive juices flowing between the brothers. Having always been compared to Cory growing up and everyone saying we look like twins, let’s put that to rest now as Cory has quite the dad-bod going on (I kid, I kid – sort of). If needed we can handle this the good old-fashioned way and take this out back, but we all know what would happen.

Jill McIntosh

Maid of Honor

Jill is a friend of the bride. During the process of moving home to Cincinnati from St. Louis, Jill landed a job at the same firm Brit was working for. Their first official introduction was at a happy hour at the local Bdubs over a couple budlights. Brit did not need any further confirmation that Jill was going to be her friend. Although Jill would refer to herself as "basic" because of her love for a lot of stereotypical things, like fall, pumpkins and taco bell, she is anything but basic. Jill is always down for an adventure, even if that adventure just includes eating pizza while sitting on the bathroom floor of a hotel room. Jill is a natural skeptic, an avid traveler and tremendously independent. If a superlative could describe her best it would be "most likely to tell it how it is." All qualities that make Jill an incredible friend to have at your side.


Logan Heitkamp

Groomsman

Logan is the Bride's oldest, younger brother, but let’s not forget that Brit still helped change Logan's diapers. Logan has always acted much older than his age showed. He is caring and kind-hearted. When he was younger, Logan was known as the "helper" of the four siblings and would volunteer to help Mom with chores. He wasn't very good at them, but it was the thought that counts. Logan recently helped Brit and Cody move into their new home. Brit and Logan have spent countless hours together binge-watching Criminal Minds, Forensic Files and Impractical Jokers episodes. Nowadays, Brit and Cody can be found beating Logan at euchre. Although Logan is still convinced he is the best euchre player there is.

Courtney Goldschmidt

Bridesmaid

Courtney is a friend of the bride. She is short, spunky, and radiates positivity so it is no surprise that Courtney spent a lot of her past life as a cheerleader. Courtney was not only a cheerleader throughout school, but she has been one of Brit's biggest cheerleaders throughout life. If you're in need of a positive thought, big smile, or a bear hug... this is your girl. Courtney and Brit's friendship truly began in junior high / late elementary school, ever since they have been thick as thieves growing up together and even attending the same college, where Courtney was daring enough to room with Brit! However, their journey really began in Kindergarten on a class field trip to a pumpkin patch where Courtney copied off Brit's pumpkin carving. It turns out, Brit was copying off the person beside her too!


Dylan Heitkamp

Groomsman

Dylan comes in at the youngest of the four Heitkamp siblings, but he proves being the youngest sibling does not mean he has any less personality to show. Dylan is nothing shy of unique. He is a little firecracker, outgoing and has an incredible sports-based memory. Cody and Dylan often play Madden together and discuss their sports knowledge and player stats. Dylan once even memorized the entire song "Written in the Stars" when he was four years old because it was the theme song to WWE WrestleMania 27, his favorite game at the time. Today, Brit, Cody and Dylan share their love of the Greenbay Packers. The three were recently able to attend a game together and watch the Packers beat the Bengals.

Lexi Brackman

Bridesmaid

Lexi is a friend of the bride. Lexi and Brit first met sometime in junior high, most likely at one of the Minster vs. New Bremen rivalry games. Yes, she is a cardinal, but we love her anyway. Fate brought them together again freshman year of college at UC when they happened to be dorm room neighbors on the 10th floor of Daniel’s Hall (Fun fact: Lexi lived with Kaitlyn in the dorms!) It was history from then on. Lexi has an incredible eye for design and is extremely talented. So talented that she was offered a job by a florist after seeing her wedding! Lexi is Brit’s go-to-person for inspiration and ideas for new house projects and wedding FAQs. Brit is always bouncing ideas off Lexi for the latest home renovation, which Cody just LOVES ;) Lexi applies her attention to detail in everything she does, which makes her a wonderful friend to have by Brit’s side.


Brady Heitkamp

Groomsman

Brady is the third sibling of the Heitkamp bunch and the most likely to try to cheer you up or give you a hug when you're down. When Brady was born, Brit had been praying for a sister and was having a hard time dealing with the fact that she was going to have two brothers. She quickly realized having brothers was a blessing, not a curse. Once Brit passed her driver's test and had a license, every Saturday morning Brady was always in for a car ride to McDonald's for coffee. Brady was entirely too young for coffee, but that was their secret until now... sorry Mom! When Brit and Cody visit, Brady is always down to play a board game, or he can be found arguing his point to Cody as to why the Browns will make the Superbowl this year.

Mallory Neeley

Bridesmaid

Mallory is a friend of the bride. Mallory and Brit met at work almost seven years ago when their careers were just starting out in public accounting (Fun fact - they met Jill here!). After realizing some of their shared obsessions, tacos, cheese, margaritas, and country music, they became instant friends. Mallory and Brit have accomplished so many milestones together along the way, from promotions to becoming licensed CPAs together. They both even left the original company they first met at and now work together at a different company! Don't let all this work talk fool you though, Mallory is undoubtedly the life of any party and her energy is absolutely contagious. She is always the first to jump in if you need a friend. Even if you just need a karaoke partner at Tokyo Kitty to sing Picture by Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock, Mallory is your girl!


Evan Coartney

Groomsman

Evan is unique. He is not only a friend of the groom, but also a friend of the bride. To no one's surprise at this point, Cody and Brit met Evan at work. What happens when you put a bunch of CPAs in a room together and ask them to get their work done? They find a happy hour to attend. The trio spent countless hours attending the infamous $5 bourbon shot and craft beer nights at Horse and Barrel and Wednesday Trivia Nights at the Blind Pig, which have now moved to the E. Needless to say, Evan is always a crowd favorite and the life of the party. While in most cases you can find Evan dressed like a frat boy or wearing a Patagonia, he has a heart of gold and would help anyone in need. In fact, he once went to an ATM to get out cash for the homeless because they needed more.

Danielle Sunday

Bridesmaid

Dani is a friend of the bride and rounds out the UC Daniel's Hall crew. Brit and Dani were freshman year roommates, along with Courtney! Since Dani and Brit are both true crime fanatics, it's not surprising that they scheduled a meet up at a Fazoli's prior to moving in together. Probably to make sure they weren't about to live with a complete weirdo or serial killer :) For over a decade now, they have experienced many highs and lows together. From late night cries and roommate drama to countless celebrations, Dani has always been there to ride the wave with Brit. Dani is selfless, caring and has a warm heart. When you have a problem, she's one of the first to say, "What do you need?" or "How can I help?" Some of Dani and Brit's favorite things include the Crime Junkie's podcast, dogs, Cooper's Hawk, prosecco, brunch and being in bed by 9 PM.


Wes Gilkesen

Groomsman

Gilk is a friend of the groom. Gilk and Cody met in middle school and since then it’s been a wrap. It started with a Bears-Packers rivalry (if it can even be considered a rivalry anymore). From there it led to Online Dynasties and endless nights playing 2K. A lot of nights spent out on the town boozin’ that have led to some entertaining stories. The party doesn’t typically start til Gilk walks in, so it’s a good thing he’ll be here for this one.

Caden Kriechbaum

Ring Bearer

Three-year-old Caden is Cody's nephew and the son of the best man. He is the sometimes shy, blue eyed boy, who will be stealing the hearts of all the ladies throughout the evening. He loves cars and is full of energy.
