Wedding Party
Levi Daulton
Best Man
Levi, my big brother (maybe not in height, definitely in influence), has set a high bar for me to reach. Throughout my life, he has been a constant and powerful role model, someone whose example I've strived to reach. His impact on me goes beyond family; Levi has been a guiding force in shaping my path. Levi not only paved the way for me to enter the firefighting profession but has also been a pillar of support in every challenging moment I've faced. As a dedicated Firefighter and Paramedic, he's not just someone you want on your team; he's the person others hope shows up when they need help. Levi's commitment goes above and beyond, evident in every aspect of his life. He's my best man and will always be my best friend.
Milynn Johnson
Maid of Honor
Milynn, where do I even begin? Since 2019, you've played an incredibly significant role in my life, all thanks to my brother and the beautiful journey you two have created together. Thank you for not just becoming a 'significant other,' but for truly becoming family. Since the day Milynn and I met, it has been a whirlwind of joy and laughter. Your passion for life, your willingness to embrace adventure, and let's not forget your undeniable social butterfly spirit (even though you don't think so), all of these qualities make you the amazing person you are. As we look forward to the future, I can't help but anticipate the countless memories we'll create together. From vacations to days spent at the lake, and yes, even those friendly wrestling matches (I have a feeling those in Puerto Vallarta might witness one of those!), I'm excited for it all. Love you!
Christian Daulton
Best Man
AKA Bubba! Bubba is not just my cousin but also my best friend—more like a second brother, a cousin brother even! He's taking on the role of my other best man. Bubba and I have been through thick and thin since our diaper days. There's a memorable incident from when we were 18 and 19: our Uncle Darrell got us a bit too tipsy at a Mexican bar, and we stumbled back to our room each with one shoe on. It wasn't until 4 am that we realized my mom was worried sick about us and was starring daggers at us from the hotel balcony as we staggered up the stairs. We still laugh about that night along with my parents Bubba's standout quality is his remarkable compassion and determination. He has a knack for finding the silver lining in every situation, a true optimist at heart. Despite now calling Tennessee home and working as the assistant tour manager for Dan & Shay, we manage to stay connected almost every day. Our bond remains unbroken, a testament to the enduring strength of true friendship.
Ashley Slusher
Maid of Honor
My best friend since high school! I am beyond thankful that Greenway brought us together. Reflecting on our 15 years of friendship, from sharing classes, clothes, and even a last name, I've loved all the cherished memories together. From homecoming and prom to dominating the volleyball court together, and the adventures of camping and crazy lake days—each moment is a treasure. Your wedding was a highlight, and now, as I embark on this exciting chapter, I am so grateful to have you by my side. Ashley, you truly are an amazing friend and I couldn't have navigated my life without you. You're caring and passionate but also are very honest when I need it. Thank you for consistently being there to catch up, even during your busy school and work days. Since the very beginning, I have deeply appreciated and looked up to you. Here's to our friendship and countless memories we've created. Love you always, Dr. Ash.
Lawrence Brandt
Groomsman
Lawrence and I first crossed paths on the volleyball court, and from that moment, I knew he was someone I wanted by my side. As you'll notice with my groomsmen, I've surrounded myself with some of the brightest minds, and Lawrence fits that mold perfectly. We've shared a living space, navigated through unexpected situations (including evading Mexican security together), perched on rooftops contemplating the cosmos, and the adventures continue to unfold. A professional poker player with two WSOP bracelets from Las Vegas, Lawrence is a testament to drive and determination. When he sets a goal, he achieves it. Beyond that, he's more than a friend; he's an exceptional one. Having Lawrence in my life is a privilege I cherish.
Kendyl Yee
Bridesmaid
Ken! One of my oldest friends in Flagstaff, you've always been there to get me through it all, expressing gratitude doesn't quite capture how thankful I am for our friendship. From our legendary country thunder trips and downtown nights, to the super fun house parties with of course all the drinking games, these memories are priceless (the one's I can remember at least), and I wouldn't trade them for anything. It's incredible how we've managed to "grow up together" while pursuing and achieving our career and life goals. Your unwavering support throughout this journey mean the world to me. Here's to the countless more adventures, laughter-filled moments, and shared successes as we continue navigating this journey called life. Your friendship is a treasure, Kendyl, and I couldn't be more grateful for you. Love you!
Ryan Spiller
Groomsman
At first, Ryan and I crossed paths about five times before his presence truly stuck in my memory. However, once it did, our friendship took off, and there was no looking back. Ryan stands out as one of the smartest and athletically talented individuals I've ever encountered; I mean, the guy is literally a rocket scientist (an aerospace engineer). But don't let the genius fool you; Ryan's also a bit of a rascal. Whenever our group indulges in some liquid of the inebriation variety, the night inevitably turns into a friendly cage fight, with Ryan at the epicenter. Despite the occasional chaos, we've shared numerous adventures together, and I'm confident there are many more on the horizon. Ryan is a caring friend who will always be there for me throughout life.
Shannon Smieja
Bridesmaid
Shannon, my hunting buddy, my partner in shed hunting escapades, and above all, my very dear friend. You're a once-in-a-lifetime kind of friend, and I find myself so fortunate that our paths crossed during our time in Phoenix. It's as if we were destined to meet, and in doing so, we both found something we didn't even know we were missing. Our connection goes beyond words; we've always been able to understand each other with just a glance, usually followed by a shared laugh that speaks volumes. Thank you for being a huge part of the cherished memories we've created together. I'm eagerly looking forward to the countless future moments, weddings, and hunts we'll share, filled with adventure, laughter, and the unique bond that makes our friendship so extraordinary. Love you, Shannon, and here's to the many more chapters of our incredible journey ahead!
Max Wiedemann
Groomsman
Max and I crossed paths during our time at the Firefighting Academy. Throughout the program, we were consistently paired up, navigating the challenges and often finding ourselves in a bit of a mess. Despite the chaos, we made the best of our time and forged a strong bond. After the academy Max and I lived together for a few years and the friendship continued to grow. From countless backyard BBQs to sweating it out at the FAC, where we often dream of Flagstaff getting a decent gym one day, and even to our golf sessions, every shared moment added a new chapter to our friendship. Our careers may have brought us together initially, but it's the shared laughter, the unwavering support, and the countless memories that have truly defined our friendship. I feel incredibly fortunate to have Max as a friend in my life
Shawnti Weidemann
Bridesmaid
My right-hand girl, we met when Luke was your and Max's roommate, I am so thankful that Luke brought us together. So much of the happiness in my life is thanks to you, and I am very grateful for the warmth of your friendship, the generosity of your kindness, the hardest leg days at the gym, and the mimosa & bloody maria filled Sunday fundays. Having you by my side as we navigate through life's major milestones makes me so excited for what's to come. Your support and companionship make these moments all the more special, and I wouldn't want it any other way. Here's to the countless more memories we'll create as we continue this journey side by side. Love you, buddy!
Eric Wilson
Groomsman
Eric is one of my oldest friends, and our connection goes back to the time when his high school closed down, and he had to join mine. Instantly, as soon as they integrated, we became fast friends. We've shared the field playing football, explored new places together, and even lived under the same roof. Through thick and thin, Eric has always had my back, demonstrating a genuine care for the friends he surrounds himself with. In our group, Eric plays the role of the mad scientist. Holding a Ph.D. in New York, he's tried to explain his work to me countless times, and I still find myself a bit perplexed about the specifics. Nevertheless, whatever he does, I know he excels at it. Eric is my go-to person for unraveling the mysteries of anything and everything; he's like a walking Wikipedia page. His friendship is the only thing that outpaces his brilliance.
Brianna Daulton
Bridesmaid
Bri, once again, I am so sorry for the accidental number blocking during those first few months of knowing you. It's been quite the journey from that point to where we are now. As Luke's sister-in-law, you've effortlessly transitioned into not just family but also a cherished friend. Our friendship has added such an entertaining layer to my life, and I'm genuinely excited about the anticipation of officially becoming your sister-in-law. The Daulton family, including your husband, Levi, and those four fantastic kids, has made me feel like part of the clan from day one. Thank you for your warmth, your openness, and the ease with which you've welcomed me into your world. It means so much to me that I can confide in you about anything. I'm looking forward to many more shared laughs, heart-to-heart talks, and making countless family memories together. Love you, Bri!
Nicholaus Pfeiffer
Groomsman
Nick is another one of my oldest friends, and our friendship dates back to our time playing middle school football together. Our connection solidified when his high school closed down, leading him to join mine, allowing our friendship to continuously flourish. Together, we've embarked on numerous adventures, including the spontaneous road trip to California where we ended up staying in his Jeep on the side of the road, attempting to surf but mostly just tumbling into the ocean. Nick, along with Lawrence, was also there when we attempted to evade Mexican security, though he didn't navigate the situation as smoothly. Nick is undeniably the most compassionate person in my life, prioritizing the sanctity of life above all else. His dedication to helping others is evident in his role as a radiologist at Mayo Clinic, showcasing his drive to make a positive impact. Nick is not just an amazing friend but a driven individual, and I'm incredibly fortunate to have him in my life.
Charlotte Ledvina
Bridesmaid
Charlotte, as cousins our life has been filled with shared laughter and unforgettable moments. From the lively days of growing up together, making up countless games as kids, to the excitement of attending the same high school-doing track, hangouts, and going to football games, our bond strengthened with each experience. The connection continued when we became college roommates during our freshman year in Flagstaff, adding a chapter of shared adventures and memories. In college, the concerts, snow days, turning 21, and of course long study hours were a magical backdrop to our college years, offering the perfect setting for spontaneous fun and memorable adventures. I cherish the fact that we're in the same town, providing a sense of closeness even as we pursue different paths in life. No matter where our individual journeys take us, the bond we share remains strong, and that is something truly special. Love you, Char.
Charles Seby
Groomsman
Charlie is another friend whose journey began with me because of his high school shutting down. In high school, Charlie's house was the go-to spot between two-a-day football practices, and in college, his apartment became my crash pad whenever I visited. Which ended up becoming a few nights of partying together. A quieter influence in the group, Charlie is not one to shy away from a good time. Currently a lawyer in Phoenix, his intelligence and drive are apparent. Charlie is the friend we turn to for the finer things in life, embodying high class and impeccable fashion. He's always dressed for the occasion. Despite being one of the more risk-averse individuals I know, Charlie is willing to step out of his comfort zone for his friends. His dedication and compassion make him an invaluable and cherished friend.
Nicole Fields
Bridesmaid
Nicole, we've been such good friends for most of my life. As we've navigated the journey of growing up together, I want to express my gratitude for allowing me to take on the big sister role in our friendship. It's been an honor to be there for you, to support you, and to witness the amazing person, and now mother that you've become. However, in countless ways, I've looked up to you just as much, if not more. Now, seeing you embrace the challenges of motherhood while continuing to work and pursue your education, I am genuinely in awe of your strength and determination. I couldn't be more proud of the person you've become and the incredible path you're on. Recalling our shared history brings a flood of amazing memories – the days of devouring too many goldfish crackers in one sitting, the laughter-filled moments bouncing on your trampoline, those long ski trips, and the sun-soaked pool days, I've loved them all. Thank you for being the remarkable friend and person that you are. Love you!
