DeAnna & Benedict
Wedding Party
Bailey Willis!
Maid of Honor
Cousins by blood, best friends by choice! Being the brides right hand is a big job, but this girl is here to tell it how it is. Holding the tissues, make sure the bride is on time, and to hype up the party are just a few of the many things she is taking care of. This lovely lady is mother to the ringbearer Tristan. You won't wanna miss this speech. Bailey can not live without her Nintendo Switch switch, and Sprite. But she hates slow drivers, Girl! Don't we all! Beep Beep!
Abby Lindgren!
Bridesmaid
Working together at Bethany on 42nd in the kitchen was just the start. You can find these two at the Boiler Room until close, watching crime documentaries, and staying up until the sun come back. This butterfly of a friend is strong and exactly what this party needs to last all night! Abby can NOT live without Caffeine, but she HATES that U.S Agent from Falcon and the Winter Solider. Trust her, She's right.
Chantel McAllister!
Bridesmaid
Meeting through mutual friends made us realized we were better at kissing dogs and sleeping through movies together was way more fun than going to parties. This redhead is married to the tallest groomsmen, Harrison, and younger sister to bridesmaid Nachelle! Chantel can NOT live without coffee, this girl always needs a black cup of coffee in hand, and would rather live without clowns. I think we all would!
Nachelle Johnson!
Bridesmaid
Working together at Edgewood Senior Living never slowed us down. The love for some good gossip, hanging out with her young daughter, and late night bonfire brought these two ladies together. This cheerful lady is engaged to groomsmen Scott, and younger sister is bridesmaid Chantel! Out of everything in the world, Nachelle can NOT live without potatoes, like all potatoes, tots on buffet plate, salad, fried, baked, mashed, talk about midwestern blood. Nachelle hates one thing in this entire world, when McDonalds doesn't included the condiments she asked for. Extra ketchup PLEASE!
Danielle Luther!
Bridesmaid
A mutual friendship, through a mutual friendship, brought us together; but taking care of our beer loving men has kept us close. This is the type of strong willed person you need on your side, tells you how it is, but loves you in the end. Between VERY large bon fires, and dealing with our significant others who love each other more than us. Danielle is married to groomsmen Devin! Like the bride, Danielle can NOT live without dogs, especially the two she has, hyperactive sweethearts! But, she really really REALLY hates being late! and the bride loves that!
Sam Berggren!
Bridesmaid
Sam met the bride through a friend of the groom's, and they realized they had a lot more in common then anyone would of thought. Being married to strong Norwegian men takes a lot from them both, but bonding over cats and all the sass they come with, and sharing funny tiktoks. What more do you need! Sam is smart and strong willed, I mean she's married to groomsman Jon! Sam can not live without her wonderful cat Lilly! He is a joy and always center of attention. As well as cheese and naps, girl we all agree! But Sam could for sure live without having to wait for her food, and waking up early. Hit the snooze!
Harrison McAllister!
Best Man
Meeting through the bride, the groom and Harrison have become best explosive buddies. Standing higher then the rest, (literally), Harrison and the bride were high school friends, but the bond the groom and this groomsman have made is like they grew up together! Too large bon fires, fireworks like there is a war to be had, or just sharing crazy ideas; these two are not going to let the party end at the barn! Harrison loves building/working on home projects, hanging out with his guys, and freedom! (obviously). But Harrison could live without cold winters. Not being outside shooting guns, building projects, or just in the backyard with friends, is just not it! Oh, and when the bar closes. Same.
Jon Berggren!
Groomsman
What's more fun then two Norwegians get together? Jon and the groom met through a mutual friend, long enough ago that they argue about it every time! Being stubborn isn't the only thing these two have in common. Between trying unique beers and videos games, these two never stop talking when they get together! Best game nights EVER! Jon is married to the lovely bridesmaid Sam! Jon can't live without cheesecake and Hawaiian pizza. Pineapple on pizza? let the debate begin! Jon could definitely live without a few things, just to name a couple, mushrooms, real Madrid, golf, and Ohio state. "O-H!" "no".
Wyatt Nelson!
Groomsman
Working at ASP Security is where the groom and Wyatt met, but not where their story ended! Wyatt and the groom both love spending their time, AND money on buying project cars! Wyatt is all about working on his vehicles and RC cars, but also a friend that will always be on your side no matter what. Wyatt could not live without fast cars. He is always working on his RC Cars to race. He could for sure live without the feeling you have when there is dirt if your shoes. If you seem him shake his leg, now you know.
William Ryan!
Groomsman
Indescribable. Loves Beer Hates No Beer
Scott Neison!
Groomsman
The groom and Scott met through a mutual friend, but bonded over the taste of good beer and grill outs during ALL seasons! Being a great friend to the groom is only the start, like being a great person to reach out to for advice, or helping with home improvements, and God, do NOT forget about those potatoes! Scott is engaged to bridesmaid Nachelle! Scott loves and cannot live without his family. Isn't that why we are all here! Love! But Scott could for sure live without bad drivers, all of them, on the phone and when they don't use their blinker! Also, pickles. Now we know the bride and Nachelle do not agree with this statement. #PickleLife
Devin Luther!
Groomsman
Through a mutual friend, the bottle of whiskey never lasts long in these two. Devin is a handy man to keep around, from farming, to building boats keeps this guy's weekends full of handy work to be done! If you don't think a bon fire and a heavy cooler sounds like a good time, you haven't been to a Luther Fire! Devin is happily married to bridesmaid Danielle! Devin loves to come home after a long day and rage at some video games. But Devin hates, hates, HATES warm beer. Don't have to worry about that at this party!
Christopher Tomish!
Usher
Chris and the bride met at Edgewood Vista and loved cooking together! Between Mariah Carey sing-a-longs and just sharing juicy gossip has made these two best of work buddies, scratch that, best friends! Chris has a lovely wife and a energetic son! Chris is also walking our lovely flower girl down the aisle! Talk about double duty! Chris can't live without meat and coffee, now that's something we can get behind! But Chris could for sure live without slow drivers, and liver. Oh no, liver! I can smell it already!
Hayden Booher!
Usher
Coming all the way from the state of Florida! Hayden has been the bride's best friend for 12 years! They have been long distant friends since the bride was 13, crazy I know. They have video chatted, texted and called their phone bills up to the moon. Hayden is thankful the wedding was not during the winter, if its below 70, he still might need to bring a sweatshirt! Hayden can not live without his friends and family! Boy, we know, you flew 1,819.4 miles to be here! Hayden could live without not being able to make people smile, the stubborn and kindness in your heart shows, you always make us smile!
Tristan Willis!
Ring Bearer
If you don't know this little man now, you will by the end of the night! This ladies man has the job of ring security. Tristan enjoys long walks and grabbing things he's not supposed to, but he really just wants all the attention, and yes, we give it all to him! Who could say no to that smile! Tristan is son of Maid of Honor Bailey! Tristan could NOT live without Peppa Pig *snort*. But Tristan could seriously live without bath time. No water toys makes this chore any easier.
Belinda Selfors!
Mother of the Groom
The absolute smartest person on this list! Sorry everyone else, this lovely lady has got a answer for everything! Being a superintendent of a school district helps, but Belinda is also opened minded and kind. Being a teacher makes her the best around kids, and her open heart is just one of the things the bride and groom couldn't imagine life any different. Between planting flowers, going to fun new places, and winning at Farkle she always makes time for adventure. Belinda could never live without her faith and family; they are all very knit tight close, but its just a wonderful feeling! Belinda could live with out anything. Even if there is something you like, someone else more then likely enjoys it, and she would never want to take away someone else's joy!
Kevin Selfors!
Father of the Groom
Oh Kevin, Kevin, Kevin. Hunting, wilderness loving, steak eating father of the groom! Kevin is the guy that would give you the last dollar in his wallet and the shirt off his back. Kevin is always outside, looking at wildlife, traveling, or just enjoying the weather. Kevin has always been the strong support in the grooms life. Kevin could not live without his wife, or his love of nature, basically his second wife. But Kevin could live without stupidity, like common sense, read a book and don't become a ID-10-T!
Shannon Charbonneau!
Mother of the Bride
Shannon has been the bride's best friend from day one to day 9,193 and many more to come! She is cheerful, stubborn, and beautiful. Shannon has stuck with the bride through breakups, heartaches, adventures, and life's biggest events! Shannon is usually spending time with her furry grandkids, cooking, and traveling (even if its just a local park). Shannon loves her dog Belle, she is a fur ball for sure! But she hates when people talk on speaker, on their phones, in public. I mean, that is very specific, but I am in agreement for sure!
Tammy Mullen!
Mother of the Bride
Tammy may not be a blood mother. but she has been a huge part of the bride and grooms life. Tammy has been with the Father of the bride, Andy, for 10+ years and life couldn't be more blessed. Tammy is loyal, strong willed, and the best person to reach to for life advice. Tammy loves going to the beach and being with her two sons and granddaughter. But she does not like when people lie! She is here for the truth and nothing but the truth! You get them!
Andy Tollefson!
Father of the Bride
Where do you start to describe this strong, persistent, loyal, best dad a bride could ever want of a dad. Well I guess we just did! Andy is the strong willed person the bride has leaned on, and will walk down the asial on the special day. They love going to sports games together, trying new hobbies, and going to comic book stores! Andy and the groom also have way too much in common, makes it more obvious why the bride would love him. Andy can not live without Vikings, "SKOL" and Star Wars (check the wedding hashtag at the top of the screen). But he does not like being late, or when his daughter reminds him of being a GreenBay Packer fan. "Go Pack Go!"
Hera Jean Selfors!
Flower Girl
"Bark"
