Wedding Party
Amanda Boleyn
Maid of Honor
Amanda is Ashley’s older sister. Growing up they were the stereotypical siblings, Ashley would steal her clothes in the morning before school, use her make-up when she wasn't home, and always wanted to tag along when she went places. Amanda was always someone Ashley wanted to be like, in fact she played every sport Amanda played because she wanted to be like her. She is always someone Ashley can count on to have the best advice.
Jessica Boleyn
Maid of Honor
Jessica married Ashley’s brother Matt. They have been together since I was 7, so Ashley doesn't call her a sister-in-law, she just calls her a sister. At first, Ashley wasn't a huge fan, she actually called Jess a B*** because Matt, her brother didn't hang out with Ashley as much anymore. They however became really close over the years. Jessica isn't just a sister she's also one of Ashley's best friends, they take frequent wine trips to Galena and recently took a sister's trip to Charleston. Ashley knows she can always count on Jess if she needs someone to talk to and if she wants to laugh.
Stephanie Deckert
Bridesmaid
Ashley met Stephanie when she started dating Chad. Stephanie is married to Chad's best friend and boyfriend Jim. They became close after spending countless weekends hanging out with dumb and dumber and drinking endless amounts of whiteclaw.
Kylie Rector
Bridesmaid
Ashley met kylie through Chad's friend Jessie, then eventually became neighbors for a little bit. It was easy to become friends with Kylie because she is one of the nicest people there is and is always willing to help others. Between a handful of nights at hammerheads and drinking games at Ashley's house, they always have the best memories when they hang out.
Amanda Hovind
Bridesmaid
Amanda and Ashley became friends in middle school when they played basketball together. they stayed close through highschool, while creating dance videos and singing the final countdown on basketball bus rides. Shorty is someone that Ashley can count on to listen when she needs someone.
Rachel Meyer
Bridesmaid
Rachel is not only one of Ashley's best friends but after October 9th she'll be her sister in law too! Ashley actually met Chad through Rachel because she was dating (now married) to Chad's brother Jeremy. They met in middle school when they were in the same house together. They also won the Elenor Roosevelt character award in 8th grade together.
Molly Conolly
Bridesmaid
Molly and Ahsley met when we were both working at Cottingham and Buttler together. They became friends very soon after Molly started working there between their love of food, books, and constant ganging up on Chad.
Holly Domeyer
Bridesmaid
Holly and Ashley became friends in middle school when they played basketball together. They stayed pretty close through highschool while playing softball and being in track together. Even though they both moved out of Dubuque at one point they've always stayed good friends.
Alayna Boleyn
Flower Girl
Alayna is Ashley's niece and goddaughter. Alayna was Ashley's favorite person to ask to be in the wedding because of how excited she was. She is definitely looking forward to the big pretty dress she gets to wear.
Aurora Boleyn
Flower Girl
Aurora is Ashley's niece. She is one of the funniest, sassiest little girls, and will probably out-dance everyone at the wedding.
Jeremy Meyer
Best Man
Brotherly love, or something like that. Chad & Jeremy have grown extremely close in their adult years. Countless memories have been made. Despite Jeremy's better judgement, he has been supportive of Chad in every way. There would be nobody else by Chad's side.
Jim Deckert
Best Man
Jim, the un-adopted brother. 10+ years of inseparable friendship, questionable choices, and a couple of beers. Despite the popular belief over the years, he will be standing by Chad's side as a best man, and not marrying Chad.
John Reed
Groomsman
John and Chad have been friends sine high school when they met on the bowling team. Yes, the bowling team. A friendship that grew into a decade of laughing at each others misfortunes, and a lot of great memories. They wouldn't have it any other way.
Josh Weber
Groomsman
Josh "One Quick One And I Gotta Go" Weber. Josh & Chad are always up for having a beer or two, and sometimes a couple too many. Whether it be golfing, bowling, or just sitting on the couch for a Sunday Funday, the two always have a good time.
Jesse Schmitt
Groomsman
Jesse and Chad met through Jim. A friendship that started probably as free entertainment for Jesse, as he used to be the DD and watch Jim and Chad make fools of themselves on the dance floor at The Other Side. Thankfully, their friendship grew to more than that.....and thankfully they quit going to East Dubuque long ago.
Jordan Wilson
Groomsman
Chad went to Cedar Falls to visit Jeremy, and that is when he met Jeremy's roommate Jordan. Imaturity levels and the love of beer instantly created a bond. When Chad went to UNI, he stole Jordan as a roommate, and many beers and laughs have been shared since.
Stu Meadows
Groomsman
Chad & Stu met when they were 6, and have remained great friends 20+ years later. Although they do not see each other near as much as they used to, you would never guess it. When they are together, it is like they have still been hanging out daily like the good ole days.
Colten Anderson
Usher
Colten and Chad met in high school, and it didnt take long to become friends. Through fishing, Dells trips, and just beers at the house, the two have remained great friends. Although, the fishing should be rephrased as just "casting", as there usually were no fish.
Zach Tiernan
Usher
Not sure how a nice guy like Zach got lumped into this bunch. Chad and Zach met in high school, but their friendship really grew in their college years. What started out with weekly Thursday visits to Buffalo Wild Wings, has turned into a long lasting friendship.
