Wedding Party
Reagan Watkins
Princess
Reagan is Doug's 6-year-old daughter that has been in Amy's life since she was 11 months old. Reagan LOVES helping out around the house with anything that we are doing. Amy has turned her into a little craft girl where she loves to paint and help make projects. She can be a complete goofball but has the biggest heart ever. She has come to enjoy helping Doug cook dinner in the kitchen with cutting vegetables to adding ingredients into a pot on the stove. It has been an absolute joy to watch Reagan grow into a beautiful, smart little girl. Doug and Amy are so proud of every achievement that she accomplishes. She is Doug's baby doll and Amys peanut.
Nick Soliah
Best Man
Doug and Nick have been friends for over 15 years, might as well consider them brothers. You will rarely ever hear him be called by his first name though. The two have a tendency to cause all kinds of chaos together when left unattended. You can catch the two of them riding their motorcycles on a beautiful summer day, just "going for a putt" or sending photos to each other of what they cooked that day. HAHA Nick likes to call Doug just to annoy him because he knows Doug hates talking on the phone, but a brother always answers or calls back as much as Doug hates it. And as funny as it may sound Nick is usually Doug's voice of reason. Nick is the first one that Doug said "I'm going to marry this woman" referring to Amy before they had even met yet.
Ashley Johnson
Matron of Honor
Ashley is Doug's cousin, but they grew up more like siblings. They have a bond like brother and sister that can never be broken, and they fight like it too. HAHA She graciously welcomed Amy into the family with opened arms which allowed them to form a fantastic friendship. You can catch Ashley and Amy getting drunk and laughing about the dumbest shit. Amy and Ashley also like to do crafts and have that "creative touch" about everything.
Cory Johnson
Groomsman
Cory.... where to even begin on the relationship/ bond they have. There definitely is NEVER a dull moment when the two of them are together. You can find Doug and Cory disappearing to the shop to "tinker on toys", drinking too much beer and getting yelled at, to getting in the river and Doug giving Cory his "sea legs". You can also find them going missing on a 2-wheeled or 4-wheeled toy and going on an adventure.
Sean Watkins
Groomsman
Sean and Doug might not always see eye to eye, but they are always there for each other, no matter what. They argue over EVERYTHING, but they always manage to get through it and work it out. Doug will always be there for his little brother and Sean would give anyone the shirt off his back. Sean and Amy fight like siblings too sometimes and Amy's always right. HAHA Sean is a hardheaded pain in the ass but has always been a rock and stood by me.
Virginia "Ginni" Sawyer
Bridesmaid
Amy and Ginni met through a mutual friend and became the best of friends. When you get us together there is never a dull moment. We became friends 6 years ago, but it feels like Ginni has been in my life forever. We love to go on girls' days to Alex to do shopping at stores that aren't in Fergus Falls and ending it with lunch full of giggles. She is our "go to" babysitter for Jamo (our dog), and he absolutely loves her! When Jamo is "full of sass" (if you know, you know) I'll tell him I'm sending him to Ginni's, and he RUNS to the front door and waits. Jamo loves his Ginni and you can tell by the smile he has on his face with her!
Brandy Hanson
Bridesmaid
Brandy and Amy became friends only recently, but they have always had the best of times together. Amy met Brandy through Doug's cousin Ashley and when you get the 3 of them together its endless laughs.
Eric Norgren
Groomsman
Where do we even begin.... Doug and Eric met through Amy and became great friends. Like peas and carrots. HAHA They just have a great time together laughing and sharing stories about life. You can find us all hanging out in the summer on the porch with a cold beer having a good time.
Nichole "Nikki" Norgren
Bridesmaid
Amy and Nikki met through acquaintances and became great friends. When you get Amy and Nikki together, they NEVER stop laughing. Always having a good time any saying the most random shit ever that sometimes doesn't make sense to anyone else. When Nikki met Doug, she couldn't remember his name and kept calling him the wrong name... so Doug had NO clue she was talking to him. Now Doug and Nikki DONT even call each other by their real names so you may hear Rhonda, Philipe, Shnequa, Rodrego or some other completely random names. HAHA
Zack Hanson
Groomsman
Ohh what to say about Mr. Zachary.... He is a damn comedian, just an all-around funny and great guy. If you are with Zack, you are having a great time! He will stop whatever he is doing to help a friend or just anyone in general. He is one of the better humans that Doug knows and is honored to have him as a friend.
Erika Ritter
Bridesmaid
The friendship the Amy and Erika have is one of a kind. Amy met Erika back in 2011 when they were working together. Then they lived together for a little bit but then ended up moving different directions but always remained close. Amy and Erika have been on many adventures together from driving to Colorado for a little getaway to driving to Illinois to meet Amys family (before her grandmother moved to FL) and having the biggest hangovers while dying at the zoo. The Brookfield Zoo is massive so if you know, you know it was a struggle. HAHA
Izabel Johnson
Flower Girl
Where do we being with this wild and CRAZY little girl. She is absolutely glued to Amy whenever she is around and gets pissed if Amy has to do something else. HAHA It is absolutely amazing watching her grow up with her big cousin Reagan. These are Cory and Ashley's twin girls. They are both sassy and sweet so watch out cause you never know who's going to smile or stab you
Haizlie Johnson
Flower Girl
Where to begin with this little cutie. We are beyond blessed to have her in our lives. She is just so sweet but can be her own kind or crazy at times. It is absolutely amazing watching her grow up with her big cousin Reagan. These are Cory and Ashley's twin girls. They are both sassy and sweet so watch out cause you never know who going to smile or stab you. HAHA
Porter Johnson
Ring Bearer
This is Cory and Ashley's youngest boy but also Reagan's partner in crime. The two of them are the bestest of friends and its absolutely amazing watching the two of them grow up together. You can catch Reagan and Porter outside riding bikes or the "buggie" together or just laughing and letting their imaginations run wild. Whatever they are doing together, they are ALWAYS having a blast.
Noah Koza
Ring Bearer
This is Ashleys oldest boy, and he can be a stubborn pain in her ass, but we love him so much. Noah is a fun-loving football fanatic! Has a huge heart but can be very soft spoken.
Justin Tellinghuisen
Usher
Doug has known Justin since they were young punk ass kids. They have been friends ever since they decided not to fight each other and talk a lot of shit to each other. You can find them talking absolute trash to each other but laughing about it too. They are great friends.
Samantha Bergman
Usher
Sam and Amy met while working together at Shoreline and became great friends. Though we may not talk every day we can still pick back up like no time has passed. Sam gives the best hugs and has the biggest heart. These two girls have had too many laughs together, but the best one is still the muddy butt print that WILL NOT come out of the carpet no matter how many times the carpet cleaner is taken to it. HAHA
Sam Finch
Personal Attendant
Amy met Sam the day of Ashley's Bachelorette party last year and we haven't stopped talking. We absolutely love talking about and sharing pieces of different plants we have with each other to make our obsession grow bigger. HAHA Sam is definitely the "mom" of our group and makes sure to keep us ALL in line when needed!
Lawrence Cawdrey
Officiant
Where do I even begin with the friendship that Doug and Lawrence have. They are definitely brothers and would do anything for each other. When Amy first met Lawrence, he called "dibs" on marrying us and its FINALLY happening. Neither one of us are religious but he has definitely been a preacher, an advice giver, a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, a friend, a brother. The only thing that could bring them closer is the DNA they don't share. He is the definition of a true friend.
