Wedding Party

Amy Johnston

Matron of Honor

Amy is Courtney’s older sister. They have grown incredibly close as they’ve grown up and she is Courtney’s built in best friend. They love to workout together, play outside with Sullivan, Courtney’s nephew, and drink coffee on Amy’s porch while they chat.


Meredith Beck

Bridesmaid

Meredith & Courtney have been best friends since 5th grade. They have maintained an incredible friendship despite being in separate states. Meredith is her go-to gal for everything and she can’t imagine getting married without her by her side

Olivia Alderks

Bridesmaid

Olivia & Courtney met in College of Education at the University of Iowa. They bonded over their mutual love of teaching and complimented each other well. They have been inseparable since!


Riley Rhines

Bridesmaid

Riley & Courtney met their freshman year of college while they lived diagonally from each other in the dorms. Their nightly tea dates turned into a long lasting friendship and she couldn’t imagine getting married without her by her side.

Paetyn Wood

Bridesmaid

Paetyn & Courtney met through Jimmy—a friend of Courtney’s and Paetyn’s husband. Their friendship has grown over the years and they regularly find time to visit with each other despite living in different towns. Paetyn has become one of Courtney’s best friends. They love to drink coffee & watch Gilmore Girls on the weekends


Allie Hurt

Bridesmaid

Allie is Courtney’s sister-in-law. She has been around for a long time and their bond has grown as they’ve both gotten older.

Felicia Circelli

Bridesmaid

Felicia & Courtney met their freshman year at the University of Iowa. They lived across from each other in the dorms and bonded over their mutual love of drama, Panchero’s, & sharing their life stories.


Brennon Keen

Best Man

Brennon is Aidan’s little brother. He has been a built in best friend for Aidan and has had Courtney in his life for more than half of it. They enjoy going shooting together, watching a movie & drinking a beer together, and going camping.

Mark McGlaughlin

Groomsman

Initially, Mark started out as Courtney's best friend in 5th grade. Eventually, Mark met Aidan through their mutual sport, swimming, and quickly became friends. They've found themselves still as close as they were even through going to colleges in different states. It wouldn't be our big day without Mark!


Ethan McAreavy

Groomsman

Ethan has been around as long as Aidan has! Through being family friends, Aidan found himself a built in best buddy and their bond has grown as they've gotten older. We couldn't imagine our life without him, just like we couldn't imagine him not in our wedding.

Will Gottsch

Groomsman

Aidan met Will through the Missouri Swim & Dive team. They quickly became friends and ended up living together before Aidan transferred back to Iowa. Through the years, they have stayed in touch and their friendship has stayed strong. We couldn't imagine our day without him!


James Wood

Groomsman

Aidan met James (Jimmy) through High School swimming and Iowa Flyers, the swim club local to Iowa City. Courtney & Jimmy formed a strong friendship going to college together and eventually Jimmy introduced Paetyn, his now wife, who has become one of Courtney's best friends. We regularly make time to see each other despite living in different towns and are so glad we have lifelong best friends.

Taylor Johnston

Groomsman

Taylor is the brother-in-law of Courtney. Aidan and Taylor bonded through spending time together (thanks to Amy, the brides sister!) and being at their house at least every week. :)


Joel Hurt

Groomsman

Joel is the brother of the bride, so Aidan has known Joel since he's known Courtney (which has been a long time!!)

Karen Hurt

Mother of the Bride


Steve Hurt

Father of the Bride

Cher Carney

Mother of the Groom


Damon Keen

Father of the Groom

Doug McAreavy
