Chris & Ashley
Wedding Party
JD Burney
Best Man
JD has been my best friend since I can remember. We met as 4 year old's playing soccer when our dads coached and continued playing little league baseball together. We have been each other's brothers from different mothers and continue to be a part of each other's families. A friendship that has lasted almost 30 years is rare to find and I was JD's best man at his wedding in 2015.
Kristin Quinlan
Matron of Honor
Kristin and I met at IU when she rushed Alpha Phi and I basically had to fight to have her as my "daughter" in the house. We have been best friends ever since. She's lived in San Diego for nearly 10 years, and although I wish she was closer, it doesn't hurt to have a best friend in sunny California.
Ben Davis
Groomsman
I met Ben during our sophomore year at Purdue during what we like to call the "Halo Years". Ben has been one of my closest friends since as we both love to golf, fish, play cornhole and discuss technology. Ben likes to make up words or phrases that I still use in my vocabulary today and it always makes me laugh!
Grace Godfrey
Maid of Honor
Grace and I have been friends since the second grade. She has seen the good, bad and ugly of all things Ashley and continues to stick around! Excited for our friendship as we make the transition back into one-piece swimsuits.
Cory Weicht
Groomsman
I met Cory through JD in our college years at Ball State. Cory has been in my life ever since and we share a special bond through our golf battles, even though I get the better of him at most of our golf trips :) We both love a good boat day in the summer and a Pacer game in the winter. I was also one of Cory's best men in his wedding in 2015.
Amy Pinder
Bridesmaid
Amy and I have become more than just work besties. She guides me through life on a daily basis. As a mom to Cam and Nora, somehow I made it through her maternity leaves. Now we spend our days bonding over Ellen, wine, and all things Target.
Nick Peterson
Groomsman
I met Nick through a mutual friend in 2013 and our friendship grew through watching sports, playing sand volleyball, golfing and our love for pie (pizza). Even though Nick is a HUGE IU basketball fan, our love for the Big Ten and mutual respect has always been there. Nick has been the definition of a great friend throughout the years.
Colleen Milbee
Bridesmaid
Colleen is Chris's sister and Mom to Jacob, our ring bearer. I actually met Colleen years before I ever knew of Chris - we happened to be in the same sorority at IU. Her bubbly personality I remember from Bloomington hasn't changed and I couldn't be more excited to be sisters in real life!
Brian Naab
Groomsman
Brian is Ashley's brother and I have gotten close with Brian through trips to Florida, golfing, boating and living in the "Marion County Hood". We bond over our days at Chatard and now play against each other in the Chatard Alumni League. I enjoy seeing Brian's kids sport games and watching them grow into young adults.
Rachel Fiedler
Bridesmaid
Rachel is Chris's sister and mom to his three goddaughters. As a mother to three girls under 3, she is one of my newest mom-mentors. She also makes a mean deviled egg and I am excited to have yet another friend to call sister.
Michael Naab
Groomsman
Michael is Ashley's brother and I played golf with Mike when he was a senior and I was a freshman at Chatard. Mike and I battle it out on the golf course, at the pool table, Connect 4 Hoops, Madden and any other game we can compete or bet on. I enjoy the hike up to Mike's house to spend time with his family and hang out at Mike E Cheese's!
Naomi Naab
Bridesmaid
Naomi is my sister-in-law and one of my closest friends. Not a day goes by that Naomi and I aren't laughing about something - usually at Mike's expense. My favorite things about Naomi - she's your number one fan and always up for anything. Brunch? Yep. Host a Surprise Party in a week's notice? No problem. Trip to Vegas? Let's go!
Ryan Burchard
Groomsman
Ryan is my brother and I have loved watching him grow into the young man he has become. I have hoped to instill my "brotherly wisdom" on Ryan and love to watch him play baseball, basketball, football and anything Ryan does. Ryan has been a blessing to my life and is honored he will be standing up there with me on my big day.
Ellie Burchard
Bridesmaid
Ellie is Chris's sister and an awesome road-trip companion. Through several trips to Cleveland in the Mini-van, we have shared some great moments! I have also learned that my dance skills are sub-par these days, as she can floss with the best of them!
Jacob Milbee
Ring Bearer
Jacob is Chris' nephew and we are so excited for him to be a part of our wedding. He has been a blessing to watch grow up and we know he will be one handsome Ring Bearer!
Lucas Naab
Ring Bearer
Lucas is my nephew, but he definitely prefers Chris over me! He might only be 2, but he can stay up later than we do. It's hard to find a happier little nugget, as he is always the life of the party. We love that he can share in our special day with us!
Cameron Fiedler
Flower Girl
Cameron is Chris' niece and we are so excited for her to be a Flower Girl in our wedding! She holds a special place in our hearts as she is Chris' god daughter and the best big sister in the world.
Bella Naab
Flower Girl
Bella is my niece and one of my absolute favorite humans since the day she was born. We are so grateful that she is willing to ditch the baseball hats and leggings for a day as she agreed to be our flower girl.
