Wedding Party

Sarah Schweyen

Maid of Honor

Sarah may be my "little" sister, but I have always looked up to her as a big sister. I'm inspired everyday by her confidence, courage, willpower and fearlessness. And despite how incredibly different we are, we balance each other out in amazing ways. My tendency to become stressed is quickly eased by Sarah's calm and focus. She has walked me through tearful calls and reminded me to always "Breathe out the bullshit." I never imagined that our immature giggles in our bunk beds would turn into the relationship it has today. No one else I'd rather have next to me than my best friend and biggest role model.

Amber Vanslyke

Bridesmaid

Amber, or "Bammy," is the first friend I made in college. We were both getting into the elevator and through small talk, we learned that we lived on the same floor and had almost all our classes together... Two miracles came out of that first year: 1) We passed calculus! and 2) We both fell in love with guys who happened to be best friends. We bond over our Catholic school experience growing up, our hilarious gullibility, obsession with napping, being completely weird at all times, and the two things that motivate us most - faith and family.

Emily Weis

Bridesmaid

I met Emily in high school. She was so easy to get along with, and everyone loved her. Once a week during our junior year of high school, we'd meet at Dunn Bros. so that Emily could coach me through pre-calculus. I found it dreadfully difficult, and she was always so nice about helping me. Those study dates turned into a lot more... we talked about EVERYTHING, and she's been with me through it ALL. She's seen me at my best, at my worst, and her genuine heart aches for my happiness and that of all who that surround her. I'm lucky to call her my best friend!

Kristin Zink

Bridesmaid

I've known my cousin Kristin since we were babies. Most of our cousins were boys, so Kristin, my sister and I frequently found ourselves exploring the junkyard, shooting at cans in the yard, playing in the chicken coop, climbing trees and building forts. However, occasionally Kristin invited us to her house in the cities, where just us three girls would enjoy a dinner out, watch movies, grab coffee and have slumber parties. That eventually segued into graduating high school the same year and both attending NDSU in the fall of 2012. Through it all, she has stood by my side with unwavering support, teaching me that I can do anything I set my mind to and that the only opinion that matters is my own.

Brigette Peterson

Bridesmaid

I met Brigette freshman year of high school through a mutual friend. We were "bus buddies" during the 30-hour ride to Florida for our band trip junior year and found ourselves either laughing hysterically at how weird we were or driving each other absolutely nuts. We enjoyed sleep overs, chick flicks, dance parties, Reba, and shopping. While our relationship in high school was all things weird and girly, our friendship during college and after brought us closer through conversations of academia, friendship and faith. She is one of the funniest, most positive and charismatic people I know and I look forward to the energy she'll bring on October 20.

Becca Schlagel

Bridesmaid

I met this pretty gal freshman year of college. And although I actually met her through Jack, she and I have become great friends. We frequented downtown Fargo for drinks at No Bull, Vinyl Taco and the OB and enjoyed kicking up our cheap cowboy boots at barn dances in Arthur, ND! We've been to WEFest, Yellowstone and her remote cabin up North, and if that says anything about this gal, she is always up for an adventure. Mud and sweat don't deter her, she'll stay up all night just to be with her friends, and she won't cast an ounce of drama on anyone. She's 100% a good time, and I can't wait to have her and her fiance Luke celebrate our big day with us!
