Abraham & Casey
Wedding Party
McKenzie Clark
Maid of Honor
McKenzie Clark is the best friend and maid of honor a girl could ask for. From girl scouts in elementary school to graduating high school and then onto living together in college. She has always been there for me. Kenzie and I share a love for reading and hoarding fantasy romance novels. She is always willing and ready to discuss our favorite books and characters.
Jacob Clark
Best Man
Jacob is my best man and one of my closest friends. We meet in college and life hasn't been the same! He is a strong friend that I know always has my back and never backs down from a good debate. We share many interests such as Chicago sports, golf, Magic the Gathering, and all things nerdy. He is a huge Godzilla and anime fan as well, don't be afraid to chat him up about any of this stuff for amazing insight!
Kayleigh Price
Bridesmaid
I met Kayleigh Price on my first day of college at Illinois State University and we have been friends ever since. We share a love for everything Disney, and I hope I get to plan many trips there in the future with her. Kayleigh is one of the most artistic people I know. She loves to model for Instagram photos and design beautiful creations in both her home and on canvas.
Steven Schahl
Groomsman
Steven and I have been close friends for over a decade now as well as being one of the genuine nicest dudes I know. We met in high school where we had many a class together and played many sports together. Even though we went our separate ways in college, we still made every effort to hang out whenever we could. As big sports fan and golfer, there is always something for us to talk about!
Michelle Driscoll
Bridesmaid
I met Michelle Driscoll my sophomore year of college at Illinois State University when she graciously accepted our roommate request for the next year. She is the girl you go too when you have a problem to solve but only after her first cup of coffee. Michelle and I shared and survived class in the business hall at ISU.
John Carver
Groomsman
John and I met at Illinois State University. I will never forget walking into class and having him chat me up, and ever since he has been one of my closest friends. We shared a major at our time in college, and now we both work together at SHS and I could not be happier! John might seem gruff on the outside, but I promise you he is just a big softie on the inside. A great person and an even greater friend. John and I share many things nerdy in common, but his biggest hobby is D&D so if you wanna chat about that, John is your guy!
Sara Bethard
Bridesmaid
Sara Bethard and I went to high school together. While there she befriended my little brother Will Bethard and then later married him. I am so happy to welcome her into the family and hope we get to see more of each other in the coming years.
Zack Foster
Groomsman
Oh Zach, AKA Foster by his high school friends. We met at Lutheran High where we both graduated from in 2014 where he showed his quirkiness and his great sense of humor. We became fast friends and have been ever since starting off playing many a game together in high school (Halo, CoD zombies and Minecraft as some highlights). Even though he left me to attend college in Orlando, where he still resides, he always makes time to take a call from me and to arrange a time to hang out when either of us can make the trip! Foster shares many a passion with me such as the afore mentioned video games, board games, and Magic the Gathering among many other things. He is also passionate about D&D, music festivals, and anything nature related!
Noah Schlop
Bridesman
Noah Schlop and I met in college on the first day of welcome week and later in our English 101 class. Noah was always my go to guy for when there was concert or play performing at school. He is a lover of all things history and old jazz music.
Mitchell Hughes
Groomsman
Mitch and I have been good friends ever since our time together at Illinois State University where we shared classes together, played rec. league basketball, and played for the ISU ultimate frisbee team (the Gnomes). We also worked at the Lutheran High School summer camp together for many summers in college. One of the nicest guys I have had the pleasure to meet in my life, Mitch is always down to chat about whatever! He enjoys golfing (even took a class about it in college as a PE Ed major!), Magic the Gathering, volleyball, and a good beer.
Will Bethard
Usher
Will Bethard is my not so little anymore baby brother. He and his wife Sara live in Colorado with their adorable cat Plum. I am so happy and grateful he is joining us on our wedding day
Josh Lowy
Usher
Josh is my kid brother two years my younger. We both went to Lutheran High School together, and Illinois State University where we roomed together in my last year on campus. At ISU we both played on the Ultimate Frisbee team together and continue to go to tournaments together whenever we can swing it. Josh is very much in touch with nature, which is a good thing considering he is getting his masters degree in ecology at Missouri State! He enjoys camping, hiking, and anything to do with the outdoors. Josh is also a whisky connoisseur so don't be afraid to chat him up on what he feels the best bourbon on the market is!
