Stephanie & Kyle
Wedding Party
Kylie Boozell
Maid of Honor
I met Kylie when we were in 6th grade. She has been my best friend ever since! We have so many amazing memories together... Icecream dates with Dad, Happy Wok, and watching Aquamarine are just a few memories we share. I have known for a long time that she would be my Maid of Honor. I trust her with my whole heart and I know she will do everything in her power to make our special day everything I dreamed it would be!
Thomas Bryson
Best Man
I met Tom at WIU and he is one of my fraternity brothers. Tom was my Big during the initiation process and we got to know each other well. We spent many nights in undergrad hanging out and making memories that will last a life time. From board games and nights out, to introducing to me cigars and fine spirits, Tom has became one of my best friends and really proved that he would be there for me as I was transitioning in life with Stephanie and my education and earned the role of best man.
Jessica Severing
Bridesmaid
Jessica is my sister. We have so many memories of growing up together. Holiday traditions, activities with our parents, arguing, and more. We are becoming closer as we get older and I couldn't imagine this adventure without her by my side.
Zachary Young
Groomsman
I met Zack in undergrad and he is one of my fraternity brothers. Zack has always been someone I can unload my mind onto and makes efforts to make sure all of his friends are happy and healthy. We've spent many nights with a cigar and a drink and just let our problems fade away with good conversation. He is one of the hardest working people I have met and still has time to hang with the bros when it matters.
Stephanie Iverson
Bridesmaid
Stephanie is my high school best friend and my other half. It all started in English class Freshman year... She sat behind me and we were excited that we shared the same name! We made it through our most awkward years together, and I couldn't imagine life without her! Some of our best memories include Carrie Underwood concerts, birthday parties, and classes together in High School. We will always be Stephanie Squared and I couldn't imagine our special day without her standing next to me.
Christopher Pickard
Groomsman
Chris and I met just over two years ago when we both started law school at NIU. It was either the stress, dread, and suffering that is law school, or the sheer amount of things we have in common that solidified us as being best friends here at school. We've been able to count on each other to get us through this process. I would not have been able to do it without him.
Jessica Watson
Bridesmaid
We met at Elder Care Services. Jessica trained me when I was an intern at ECS and we quickly became friends. Working from home during COVID separated us for a while, but we continued to talk daily about work and everyday life. I am honored to have her as one of my best friends!
Nicholas Ebelhack
Groomsman
Nick is another fraternity brother, but is not just "another fraternity brother." He is an amazing person to know and is fun to be around. Nick helped make my last year of undergrad memorable with our weekly reservation at The Cafe and other shenanigans. We've continued to find ways to see each other even though he is now living in North Carolina.
Leela Alloway
Bridesmaid
Leela and I met at church. She is one of my best friends. When we were younger, we did everything together. She taught me how to make a delicious grilled ham and cheese! We share so many memories including bike rides, sleepovers, movies, naps, work trips, and more! I couldn't imagine saying "I Do" without her by my side!
Christopher Scheer
Groomsman
Chris is the little brother I never had. When we met in undergrad through Pi Kappa Phi I was a senior and he was a freshman, but he quickly gained the respect of me and the other brothers that are part of the wedding party. Chris was always ready to make a memory or two. Chris is a great person and I wanted him to be apart of our wedding so that he knows how much he means to me.
Rebecca Jacobs
Bridesmaid
Becca is Leela's sister. We started spending time together after I became friends with Leela. Becca has always been like a big sister to me. She would drive Leela and I around since we weren't old enough yet. We spent a lot of time together watching movies, going shopping, and just hanging out! She quickly became one of my best friends and someone who I could talk to about drama, boys, and life. I am excited to have her standing next to me on my wedding day!
Zachary Prochaska
Groomsman
Zack and I met through Pi Kappa Phi when he was paired as my little. Zack was a hard working student, but always made time to be my brother (even if it took a little persuasion sometimes). With going away to law school, I wanted to make sure that our bond was not only through the fraternity. I wanted him to know that I cherished the memories we made and wanted him to be part of The Big Day.
Kelsey Loftiss
Bridesmaid
Kelsey is my internet best friend! We met online in 2006. We met in person for the first time in 2009. We spent many summers together and she has become a part of my family. We have made memories that will last forever... jamming to the Jonas Brothers, church work trips, long car rides, tearful goodbyes...We had no idea that saying hello on a Miley Cyrus website would turn into a lifetime of friendship. I can't wait to have her standing my by side on our wedding day!
Lilianna Boozell
Flower Girl
Lili is my beautiful Goddaughter and niece. I will never forget the day that Kylie asked me to be Lili's Godmother. She is the sweetest and smartest little girl and I love having the opportunity to watch her grow up. She never fails to amaze me and we love spending time together when I visit her and her mom. Disney on Ice, sleepovers, and seeing her in plays are just a few of the memories we share. She is the light of my life and I am so excited for her to be our flower girl.
Ross Schaer
Ring Bearer
Ross is Kyle's nephew and the future goalie of the Chicago Blackhawks. We cannot believe that he will be 6 years old when we get married. It feels like it was just yesterday when Kyle found out he would be an uncle. Ross can be sweet at times, but young boys will be boys. We love him dearly and couldn’t imagine our big day without him walking down the aisle before his Aunt Stephanie.
Dragonfruit
Ring Bear
Dragonfruit... our son. You bring so much joy to our lives every single day. We love to snuggle and play with you. You won't be walking down the aisle at the wedding...but we couldn't resist listing you as part of the wedding party because we love you so much and we will be thinking about you on our special day!
