    Wedding Party

Wedding Party

Meet the Group who without, this day just would not be the same! Our biggest supporters and cherished friends!

Jada Blom

Officiant

Avery and Jada met at their place of work! Jada always greeted Avery each morning (around 6am) when Avery arrived for work, and quickly after their friendship grew! Jada is a loyal friend and will have your back and support you living your life the way you want and always motivates and encourages you to do what makes you happy! With this love and support Jada have given to Avery over the years, and the relationship that has grown between Jada and the couple... Avery and Cody felt it was perfect to have Jada officiate their wedding!

Tearza Brewer

Bridesmaid

Tearza is one of Avery's cousins, being only months apart in age this duo has been lifelong friends.... and partners in crime! Tearza has and will always support Avery, and over the years offered her love and support towards Cody. Having Tearza in the wedding is just common sense!

Jacob Gunn

Groomsman

Jacob and Cody met at Fastenal, after soon realizing they were basically two people with the same mind, they became quick friends that share 2 brain cells! All jokes aside, Jacob is a fantastic friend, and has always given the couple (mostly Cody) infinite love and support. Having Jacob as a part of the wedding is a given, seeing as they share a brain!

Sarah Welsh

Bridesmaid

Sarah is one of Avery's College friends! Met through Avery's longtime friend and neighbor Chris Welsh. Sarah has been such an inspirational and important friend to Avery through the college life, showing Avery what it is like to have such a loving and supportive friend in her life who she can always count on. And then showing that some love and support to Cody. The couple found the choice easy when choosing Sarah to be a part of their day!

Chris Welsh

Groomsman

Chris and Avery had grown up only 2 blocks apart, but as kids I don't think they expected to be this close in their later years in life. But Avery is sure happy this is the case! Besides having a kick ass Wife, Chris has always been an amazing friend to Avery. And when Avery introduced Cody to Chris, they bonded quickly as Chris is an easy person to get along with. Cody and Chris bonded over shared interests, namely Anime, and along with Caleb became their own group Avery initially dubbed the C-Section... but that group name has changed several times since then.

Ali Inserra

Bridesmaid

Ali is another important friend Avery met in college! Living in the same dorm, and currently have talked every day, for over 1900 days! (at the time of writing this at least) Over 5 years of talking every single day! Ali's unwavering love and support she has given to Avery all these years makes her an obvious choice to be a big part of the couple's big day!

Matthew Heldt

Groomsman

Besides Matthew being Averys Little Brother, Cody and Matthew have also grown close over the years. Matthew has a huge heart and loves to see his friends and family members do well in life. Cody watching Matthew grow as a person over the years has also helped them grow closer. Avery and Matthew have the special relationship where even though Matthew is usually hundreds of miles away from Avery, they can always pick up from where they left off with any phone call or rare in person visit. Having Matthew be a part of this big day warms the couples' hearts immensely.

Grace Hoch

Bridesmaid

Avery met Grace in Winona MN through mutual family/friends of Cody! Grace has always given Avery love, support, and many fun memories since meeting! Game nights with the 2 couples, dinner dates, video game dates, and supply runs to craft stores! Graces enthusiasm and crafty personality has not only made Grace such an important and fun friend to Avery, but also a huge help with planning this big day!

Matt Appel

Groomsman

Matt was one of the first people Cody met when moving to MN over 8 years ago! Matt brings out Codys inner thrill seeker, and you can never catch these two having a boring day! Matt has provided Cody with much support and motivation throughout the years and Cody could not be happier to have him as a part of this special day.

Katie Brown

Bridesmaid

Katie is one of the newest members of Avery's friend group, but they became fast friends and obviously Katie became an important part of Avery's life! Katie is the extrovert Avery needs in her life! Katie, without hesitation provides love, support, and acts as your biggest cheerleader whenever and wherever! It was a no brainier to have this wonderful person be a part of this wonderful day!

Caleb Lapham

Groomsman

Avery met Caleb in college, where she apparently forgot their initial introduction. But it became obvious to Avery that Caleb is a friend you do not want to let go of! Avery and Caleb have been there for each other for many ups and down, Avery is truly grateful to have someone so supportive as Caleb. Not surprisingly Cody and Caleb also quickly became close friends with their shared interests...again namely anime, and outgoing personalities! Caleb being the final member of the C-section, he was an obvious choice to be a part of this couple's big day!

Autumn Wicka

Bridesmaid

Autumn and Avery met working at Target in Winona! It took a while for both of these surprisingly shy people, to talk more at work. Which then slowly progressed to hanging out outside of work, and the rest is history! Autumn will do anything for her friends and is always offering her help, love and support! Autumns lasting love and support throughout the years made her and easy choice to have as a part of this day!
