Chase & Shane
Wedding Party
Julia Austin
The "Mensch" of Honor - Maid of Honor
My name's Julia Austin and I'm from Grimes, Iowa. I'm about to start my D1 year at the University of Iowa's College of Dentistry. I just recently got engaged as well and I'm super excited about the future! Chase and I met our freshman year at Graceland and were in the same house on Paloma. We enjoyed each other so much we decided to room together for our sophomore year. Sharing a room brought us even closer together and even though we're no longer roommates we remain very close to this day!
Carter Wiley
"The One and Only Best Friend" - Best Man
Hello everyone! My name is Carter, and I am the best man and friend of the one and only Shane Majerus. I'm from independence Missouri and I met Shane through our times at Graceland on Faunce hall. We cheered together for the Chiefs during the good and bad, and I've managed to golf with him despite me being so much better 😜. But Shane's already the best (and perhaps cockiest) during Mario Kart, and I don’t think I will meet anyone who is better than him at that game. Shane has always been there for me during my time at Graceland, and was one of the first people to accept me on the hall. I am so honored to be his best man, and I wish him and Chase the best of luck
Megan Hartnett
"Mighty Mouse" - Bridesmaid
Hello, I’m Megan (Hartnett)! I live in Lees Summit, Missouri and went to Graceland with both Chase and Shane. I was lucky enough to be on the same dormitory hall as Chase. (Go Paloma!) I’m quite shy as a person, I don’t tend to say whole lot, and I’m quite short. These combined traits have given me the nicknames “Mouse” and “Mighty Mouse” among my family, and I don’t see why it can’t be used here. Nice to meet you all!
Clayton Allen
"Claytonious Monk" - Groomsman
My name is Clayton Allen AKA Claytonious Monk. I am from Leon Iowa and met Shane and Chase while attending Graceland University for my bachelors degree. Some fun facts, Well.... Shane outranks me so he can technically smoke me, I have eight brothers and sisters and am by far the best looking one. For more stories you would have to ask the “DL2” . Those who know, know. Over all I am extremely honored and blessed to be a groomsman in this amazing couples wedding and I can’t wait to see what life has in store for them.
Myrissa Liedtke
"The Elephant Enthusiast" - Bridesmaid
I am from Coal Valley, IL. Cooking and baking are two of my favorite things to do which is how I got to know Chase. I met Chase my Jr. year when she was put onto Paloma house. Chase was so easy to get along with and willing to participate in anything, that we grew pretty close over the next couple of years through baking sessions, dinners turned game/movie nights, and a trip to St. Louis. Chase also helped fuel my love for elephants with some amazing gifts. Before I met Chase, I'd actually met Shane through the Graceland bowling team. I didn’t get to know him well until after he started dating Chase. I learned he was an amazing guy who helped anyone who needed it and treated everyone kindly. I'm so happy that these two found each other and I can’t wait to be a part of their special day!
Dalton Forbes
"Forbes" - Groomsman
Hello everyone! My name is Dalton Forbes. I'm a 23-year old from Pennsylvania currently in Maryland pursing a Master’s degree in IT Management from Tulane University. I met Shane my freshman year at Graceland University, and Chase my sophomore year. Some fun facts about me: my great, great grandmother is full Cherokee Indian. I enjoy playing volleyball, going fishing, and hunting. Definitely prefer the heat over the cold, and enjoy debating topics such as “Is a hotdog a sandwich?” or “What's the best brownie piece (corner, edge, center)?”. I personally prefer the center piece and think a hot dog is a sandwich. Shane and I have some really fun hunting stories together - just ask about getting lost wandering around cornfields and “Circuit Sunday!”. Great memories that will last a lifetime!
Kailey Robertson
"The Young Old Cat Lady" - Bridesmaid
Kailey is from Ontario, Canada. She and Chase met on the first day of high school when Kailey first observed Chase to be "goth" and "a possible threat". They have been friends ever since. On any given day, you can find Kailey baking, working on a creative project, chasing chipmunks in local parks, and reading something she doesn't completely understand. Kailey is very bad at dancing (this has been an official warning).
Dustan Guider
"Uncle Stan" - Groomsman
I'm originally from Northeast Iowa. I am the ultimate Cheesehead with partial ownership in the Green Bay Packers, as well as numerous collectable items. I met lovebird #1 back in the day, before we became dads (freshman year). I've seen him grow from the "typical" college guy until when he met lovebird #2. Ever since then, these two have been apart of my life, whether its creative question to personal predicaments. I'm glad to say that I've got to know these two and see them grow together.
Randallynn Smith
"Sarcastic Historian Extra-Ordinaire" - Bridesmaid
Randallynn Smith is from Plymouth, Illinois, now living in Vilseck, Germany with her husband Dallas. Randallynn is a Graceland graduate, who, while in her time there, met both Chase and Shane. She got the chance to know them both better through Graceland clubs and organizations like Residence Life and History Club. Knowing them separately, and then as a couple, enriched her GU experience immeasurably. Randallynn is a traveler, writer, nature lover, activist, military wife, and a proud friend of the happy couple.
Alex Mallick
"The Dictator" - Groomsman
Hey Everyone I am Alex, but if you call me The Dictator I wont mind either. I hail from a small town in India and I am Shane’s only buddy that can provide genuine Tech Support and Bollywood Music. I met Shane and Chase at Graceland and damn, I always ask god, “what have I done in my past life to meet these great friends”. Anyways if you have watched John Wick and loved it, just swing by me in the wedding and we can be Wick buddies.
Ben Watson
"Minecraft Buddy" - Bridesmaid
I am a semi-crazy, fun-loving, hard-working man who may or may not steal the groom from the wedding. This bridesmaid is one of a kind, and he is the most fashionable one in the wedding party. NOTE: The last statement is of the bridesmaid's own opinion ;)
