Dakota & James
Wedding Party
Kylie Renschler
Matron of Honor
Kylie has been one of my best friends since we first met each other at Culver's. We've spent more time than I'd like to think about line dancing at Pla Mor, driving to random fields in the middle of the night, and peeing over picnic benches. Basically a sista from another mista, and quite the life of the party! She laughs with me, cries with me, and really isn't afraid to tell me when I'm wrong. She's the whole package that a best friend would hope for. I'm so happy that she said yes to standing by my side and helping me not go crazy through this process. Kylie, get ready to get schwifty! Put your party pants on!
Dylan Weber
Best Man
Dylan, "Brotha V" was basically like another brother, and my parents will say the same. He spent probably just as much time at my house as he did his own in high school. We grew up together, from playing on the same Tball team to going to college together and getting into plenty of shenanigans along the way. From Super Smash Bottles to Joyriding, from lifting together to racing the cops. The kid might kick my butt in 2k, Madden, or any video game....but I'll drink him under the table! There is just too many stories and too little time here. This dude is my guy, and im looking forward to hearing his speech.
Hannah Sader
Bridesmaid
We did not like each other when we first met, I'd leave that part out, but I think the greatest friendships start by absolutely hating them. We bonded over our love of cats and raccoons and our hatred for multiple other individuals, and just like that a friendship was born. She might throw a pipe at a wall, pick her wedgie, and then tell you it wasn't her. But we all know it was. Don't flood the room, she will unleash a wrath on you that not even your mom could soothe. We went through our second pregnancies together, and it's so nice to have that support from someone going through the exact same thing as you #DueDateTwins. I'm so glad that she yes to be apart of this craziness!
Elder Rodriguez
Groomsman
Elder, one of the founding ST6. When I first started at the prison I found him to be pretty intimidating because well he was a guy who got to work seg all the time, and was always suiting up and i was just a new fish in a bubble. Then I got down there and earned my stripes, and it was full steam ahead after that. From smashing down in 1 and GO's to just shooting the bull he helped make work enjoyable. Now we've both moved on from the prison but hes still one of the boys! Im providing the party, he'll provide the bus loads. Wish you could be here for this time of celebration man! I'll save a spot at the head table for you and you already know i'll pour one out for the homie! R.I.P - Jan. 6, 2021
Malerie McNair
Bridesmaid
Even though she's about to become my sister-in-law, she will always be one of my best friends. From filling Easter eggs for kids, driving around in September jamming to Justin Bieber's Christmas album While also making fun of James, she gets me in the little ways, and I'm so excited to be her sister. I think Malerie has played a huge part in my shopping addiction there for a while, until her brother gladly took over that roll. She is living her best life in Florida, and I love getting to see her grow in ways she didn't know she would. She is such a ray of sunshine. Thank you, Malerie for saying yes to being by my side and remember: Do NOT make eye contact, and don't EVER stop smiling my love.
Nolan McNair
Groomsman
Nolan is literally my actual brother. We may have used to cover the tv box from one another so they couldn't change the channel but that's behind us now. We've both grown up and are doing the adulting thing pretty well I would say. Not sure if he is ready for the adventures ahead as far as Bachelor Party or Wedding night...but i have faith he can keep up with the older folk haha. He may be able to lift more weight than I can, but I can def drink more lol. I'm happy to have him in the wedding party, its going to be a blast!
Alex Hanson
Bridesmaid
I remember Alex back when she was Kylie's annoying little sister. She always wanted to hang out with us and do whatever we were doing. Alex has been like a sister to me since I've known Kylie. She has become such a fun person to be around and now we're not being forced to hang out with her, we actually want to! LOL. I am so excited that she is going to be apart of our wedding day!
Jeremy Weiler
Groomsman
I met this froot loop at work, and we really didn't start hanging out till we started gambling on college football to kill time at work. This dude can be a hoot before the alcohol hits, and he can serenade you with any song you request. Be ready for "the loud guy" at the party, because once Jeremy's party switch it turned on, you cant turn it off.
Allie Graf
Bridesmaid
Allie and I have recently become friends over the last few months. At first, she is very intimidating. She is so much fun and so lovable that it's scary haha. She has become such a close friend in such a short amount of time. her laugh is contagious, and before you know you're bent over crying from laughter. She has never met a stranger, and if she sees you not dancing on that dance floor be prepared to be dragged out onto the dance floor with her. I love her energy, and her personality. I cannot wait to see her breaking it down with all of us!
Curt Sanford
Groomsman
Old man Sanford. After a majority of my work fam (formally known as ST6) left the prison, Sanford was the one I went to with any of my shenanigans. From placing butter cups on the ceiling to "door kicking" a gallery just because he was the Sergeant and would have to go talk to them. I take pride in that Myself (and Dakota and Sader) are probably responsible for the ulcer in his stomach, and we pride our selves on that one. Hopefully Curt can stay up past his bedtime and come party with us.
Ashlee Weiler
Bridesmaid
Ashlee has become one of my closest friends over the years. She is always down to come over and hangout, she's one of the most fun people I have ever met. I remember one of the first times I had ever met her we were both pregnant with our daughters. I took one of my first shots of Tequila with her and have had dance parties in our living room. She is always down for a great time and a casual Saturday getting mani pedis! I am seriously so excited to have her be apart of our big day!!
Dayton Graf
Groomsman
Graf lives just down the road from me, but we met when I began to work at the prison. While i feel working at the prison and having 2 kids has sped up the time needed to grow up, Graf helps me still act like a child from time to time. Whether it is playing pranks on Huntley or racing golf carts, the dude knows how to have a good time when need be. This big dummy gonna bring the big party, hope y'all are ready.
