Martha & Curtis
Wedding Party
Angela Oltman
Maid of Honor
Angela Oltman is the bestest of bestest humans. She is funny, kind, and fiercely loyal. Angela and I met running track at Illinois Wesleyan. I had only known Angela about 2 weeks when I realized just how incredibly kind and generous Angela was. After a particularly ugly roommate fight, she took me home to Roanoke to have a sleep over filled with buttered popcorn and Disney movies. Angela has been there for me no matter what- thick and thin. She knows me better than I know myself. I couldn't ask for a better maid of honor.
Katie Douglas
Bridesmaid
Katie Douglas and I met during my first year of teaching in Waukegan at Glenwood Elementary. Katie is one of the smartest people I know and by far the best school psychologist I've ever known. I credit Katie with teaching me all I know about doing my job successfully- never mind the bachelors and masters I have in elementary education. Katie is patient, understanding, and above all else a dear friend. I would not be the teacher nor person I am today without her friendship.
Jane Ahlborn
Bridesmaid
Janie is my baby sister- my one and only. My darling sister and I did not always get along growing up. However, as we have enter adulthood, it became clear that we would always be there for each other. She has grown into the most outstanding human. She may be quiet and unassuming to most, but to me- Jane is funny, caring, beautiful and intensely smart. I am thrilled to have her stand alongside me on my special day.
Kaitlynn Johnson
Bridesmaid
Kati, Curtis' older sister, quickly became an important part of my life. She offered an insight into my handsome, but sometimes brooding boyfriend (now fiancé). From the very beginning she was funny, supportive, and honest. When my anxiety or insecurities got the best of me, she easily and justly told me "Girl, no. Just talk to him." Turns out the therapist's advice was sound! It was been a joy to have Kati along for our ride. It is an even bigger joy to have her stand up with us on our special day.
AJ Sharum
Best Man
AJ has been my best friend since the 7th grade. Even while he sailed around the world for the Navy after high school, he always managed to be there for me. A man of the highest caliber and character, I'm honored to have AJ stand by my side on Martha & I's special day.
Andy Ahlborn
Groomsman
Andy is the youngest of the Ahlborn Wells family. Andy is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, so if you have any culinary questions he's your guy! I'm looking forward to getting to spend more time with Andy over the coming years and welcoming him into our extended family.
Ross Chapman
Groomsman
As many of you know, Martha's sister Jane & Ross tied the knot last September. Ross and I share many interests, chief among them is our love for Star Wars. Many in my friend group consider me the expert in the Star Wars universe, but my knowledge pales in comparison to Ross. I'm lucky to be able to have him stand by me on this special day. He's also hands down the better dancer, so don't be surprised when you see him lighting up the dance floor on our special day.
Amy Murguia
Groomsman
As many of you may know, Amy is Kati's wife. We've known each other for over 10 years and have had the privilege of seeing her and my amazing sister grow both personally and in their relationship. I'm so happy to have her join our family and blessed to have her standing at my side during the wedding.
