Wedding Party

Jenna Johanknecht

Maid of Honor

Jenna is my older sister and built-in best friend. Growing up, she taught me a lot—whether I asked for her advice or not. We've shared plenty of laughs, just a few fights, and more memories than I can count. I'm so happy to have her standing by my side on my wedding day, and I know she'll keep everything running smoothly (or at least tell everyone she did).

Jeff Nelson

Best Man

Jeff and I have been friends since middle school. Jeff is important to me because there is no one that has been more consistent through my life than Jeff. We have rotated through friend groups with each other, with us never breaking apart. He has truly been a backbone since I can remember. Jeff is my best man because there isn't another person that would throw away state bowling to go camping with me.

Catelyn Johanknecht

Bridesmaid

Catelyn is my youngest sister, seven years younger than I am, but she has always been there for my biggest moments. She always shows up to cheer me on. I feel so lucky to have her as my bridesmaid on my wedding day—my built-in friend and lifelong sidekick. She is a far better sister and supporter than I ever was to her. She is one of the most cherished things in my life.

Derrick Minton

Groomsman

Derrick is my oldest brother, he has 14 years on me but that doesn't stop me from giving him a hard time. He always gives it right back. There isn't anyone else that I'd want to be mistaken as my dad.

Morgan Neitzel

Bridesmaid

My cousin Morgan is like another sister to me—she's just one year older and often acts like she's in charge. We've been close our whole lives, from going to school together and playing on the same volleyball team to even living together (and somehow managing to survive it). She's hilarious and always makes me laugh. I feel so lucky to have her as both family and one of my best friends.

Dylan Minton

Groomsman

Dylan is my older brother, we have a 7 year age gap. Dylan fed me my first sip of beer and has always been such a bad influence but at the end of the day he was my biggest role model.

Sparkles

Ring Bearer

Michael Wennesburg

Groomsman

Michael has been by my side since middle school. He's active in the military. Michael has always been someone true to me and always down for any situation whether it be going through a rough patch or down to have some fun. Michael has been by my side through the highs and lows. There's no one truly better than Mikey at keeping the taco dip out of the mini fridge.
