Wedding Party

Josie Johnson

Maid of Honor

Josie has been a staple in our relationship growth over the past few years. But, before all of that, she was my faithful roommate, my partner in crime, and my rock. Josie has helped me grow in so many ways. She's pushed me to be better, pushed me to finish school with top grades, and she's a shining light in our home every single week. Ethan isn't just marrying me, he's marrying Josie as well.

Renee Thiede

Maid of Honor

Renee changed my life roughly 10 years ago when she hired me at the mortgage company her family owned at the time. From that moment on an instant friendship/sisterhood was formed. We've helped each other through unimaginable life events from deaths, divorces, break-ups, moves, and the happier of times, traveling all over together, working together at multiple places, and Renee sharing her amazing kids with me. Renee is the type of friend we all need and I'm so grateful she is standing by me on my wedding day.

Amie Reckling

Bridesmaid

Amie and I have the greatest friendship growth story that isn't appropriate for a wedding website description, so let's just say we put our differences aside just outside of high school and the greatest friendship formed. Amie is the kindest soul that has always been there for me. From spending each of our nights at OTT eating popcorn chicken and shaking for shots, to helping each other move/find houses, helping with renovations, and how we've helped each other marry the loves of our lives.

Liz Marschall

Bridesmaid

Liz and I have a friendship that dates back to our flattering middle school days. This friendship has stood the test of time from middle school, high school, separate colleges, friend group changes, and adulthood. We've been through break-ups, marriages, the loss of friendships, and the loss of friends. I'm so grateful for every spin class, every drink (most shots), every text, and every moment we've spent creeping on others. Liz has been my rock through some big life changes and I'm so excited to have her standing with me on my big day!

Leah Speakes

Bridesmaid

Leah and I share another friendship that dates back to our middle school days. A friendship that has also stood the test of time from middle school and beyond. We've traveled the world together, and now I'm lucky enough to travel once again with you for my big day. Leah has been there for me through so many life events, changes, and she is one of the most honest people I've ever met which has helped me make some pretty big decisions in adulthood. I am so grateful to have you standing with me on my wedding day. Thank you for being one of the funniest people I know.

Jerry Pruss

Best Man

Jerry hasn't taken a photo without Brittany since they met which is a perfect representation of the type of love Jerry has for his wife. Jerry and I become friends in high school and instantly bonded over FIFA. He has been a supportive friend throughout all of the challenges, positives, and happy moments over the years.

Aaron Wuebben

Groomsman

Aaron and I have been friends since high school and played soccer together for 4 years. Aaron is always willing to help his friends out when they need it, he's always there for a good laugh, and ALWAYS has a trick up his sleeve....(the magic kind)!

Ryan Weber

Groomsman

Ryan and I became close friends in high school. He always has fatherly advice for all of us. He is best known for his role in "Weber in the Window" Weber also hosts backyard baseball each year bringing us all together to relive a bit of our childhood. Ryan is also known Whitewater Kitty.

Mark Kafura

Groomsman

Mark and I also became friends in high school and our bond grew on the soccer field. Dr. Mark has saved the day in our relationship more than 10 times by calming Danielle down in regard to Bella's many, many medical "issues" that I swear Danielle makes up in her own head. I owe Mark endless dinners. Mark and Mary are the friend's parents of our guy's friend group, they give us something to strive to be in our marriage.

Marcus Speakes

Groomsman

Marcus and I have been friends since high school. He has a sense of humor like no other which matches with his wife's (wife by the time our wedding comes along) perfectly. We have stayed friends for this long regardless of his poor choice in a football team, we still like you even though you like the Cowboys
