Wedding Party
Taylor Martz
Matron of Honor
Taylor and I met in 2016 during college, and from that moment on, she has been one of the most important people in my life. What started as a friendship built on laughter, late-night talks, and shared adventures quickly grew into a bond that has stood the test of time. Taylor is one of the most intelligent, beautiful, and genuine people you will have the honor of meeting. She has a heart of gold and a smile that can light up any room. When she’s not busy being an incredible wife and new mom to her sweet daughter, Grace, you can find her reading a good book, going on a bike ride, playing card or board games, or enjoying a cozy Disney movie night. I feel so lucky to have her at my side—not just on this special day, but in every chapter of life.
Emily Harrison
Maid of Honor
Emily is truly one of the sweetest and most caring people you’ll ever meet. She has this beautiful way of finding joy in life’s little moments and sharing that light with everyone around her. Whether it’s a spontaneous coffee run, a sushi date, or a day spent crafting something creative, Emily makes every moment more fun and full of laughter. She has a huge heart and a deep love for animals—especially her adorable puppy, Remington. When she’s not cuddling with him, you’ll probably find her baking something delicious, attending a concert, or spending time with horses. Her thoughtfulness, kindness, and infectious joy are just a few of the many reasons I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side.
Cienna Cooper
Bridesmaid
Cienna is one of the most strong, resilient, and inspiring people I know. She’s the kind of friend who is always there to lift you up when you’re feeling down and remind you of your strength and purpose. She leads by example in everything she does—through her faith, her hard work, and her unwavering kindness. Cienna’s relationship with the Lord shines through in the way she lives her life each and everyday. She’s my prayer warrior and a constant source of encouragement. When she’s not exploring the outdoors or hiking with her fur babies, you’ll find her studying fish (her true passion!) or planning her next adventure. I’m so thankful for her heart, her friendship, and the light she brings into my life.
Lauryn Berndt
Bridesmaid
Lauryn is truly one of a kind — a professional yapper with a heart of pure gold! She’s ambitious, energetic, and full of life, with an enthusiasm that’s absolutely contagious. As a teacher, she pours her heart into inspiring and shaping the next generation, and her passion shines through in everything she does. Lauryn is married to the love of her life, Reid, and when she’s not in the classroom, you’ll probably find her running — literally! She’s an incredible athlete who has already completed two marathons and is always training for the next big goal. She’s a go-getter in every sense, never one to settle for anything less than her best. A true girls’ girl, Lauryn is always down for a good time and brings laughter wherever she goes (though don’t expect her to sit still long enough to finish a movie!). She’s driven, inspiring, and endlessly fun — and I’m so grateful to have her as part of my bridal party and my life.
Cole Rickert
Best Man
Cole and I have been friends for 22 years, ever since kindergarten. In those early days, we spent almost every weekend together—playing video games, riding ATVs, and shooting BB guns. As we’ve grown older, our bond has only gotten stronger. Cole isn’t just my best friend; he’s my brother. Through all the ups and downs that life brings, he’s always been my rock—steady, dependable, and the same genuine person he’s always been. Even now, after all these years, we still get together to play video games, shoot guns, and ride ATVs, just like we did as kids. Whenever life gets a little too crazy, I know I can hop in the milk truck with him and, for a while, it feels like time-traveling back to the simple, carefree days of our childhood.
Riland Baker
Groomsman
Riland and I have been friends since middle school—we met through a mutual friend, my best man, Cole. From the start, Riland has always had one of the biggest hearts and gives the best hugs. We’ve shared a love of music and countless deep talks about life, and no matter what we’re doing, he knows how to make even the shortest time together both meaningful and fun. Riland is the kind of friend who truly listens, brings warmth and laughter to every moment, and makes life a little brighter just by being around.
Austin Valenta
Groomsman
Austin and I met back in 2016 through a summer job, and we’ve been great friends ever since. He’s easily one of the funniest people I’ve ever met, and every time we get together, I end up in tears from laughing so hard. Austin is outgoing, full of energy, and an incredible storyteller—he can turn any moment into an adventure worth retelling. He’s an avid huntsman and the kind of guy you can always count on—loyal, genuine, and steady through it all.
Dakota Haberman
Groomsman
I met Dakota through work at the Price County Sheriff’s Office, and it didn’t take long to see what kind of person he is. Dakota loves to fish and truly values spending time with the people who matter most. He’s close with his family and enjoys nothing more than sitting around a fire, catching up and sharing laughs. He’s always the first to offer a helping hand, and his love for his trucks is only matched by his kind heart. Dakota is one of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet—you can always count on him for a good laugh, great company, and solid friendship.
