Kelsi & David
Wedding Party
Kortni Keil
Matron of Honor
Kortni is Kelsi’s sister, so they’ve known each other their entire lives. She’s opinionated, devoted, and has always kept things interesting, especially when they used to argue about Kelsi borrowing her clothes. She’s now a proud mom of three and the perfect matron of honor.
Chris Essex
Best Man
Chris is David’s older brother and someone he’s looked up to his whole life. He’s philosophical, compassionate, and always the person you can go to for advice. He also stays fully up to date on all things Apple tech and is an awesome dad.
Bailey Davis
Bridesmaid
Kelsi met Bailey during their first year of college, and they’ve been close ever since. Bailey is powerful, determined, and the definition of disciplined. When she’s not listening to the newest Taylor Swift song, she’s probably dominating a CrossFit workout somewhere.
Caroline Knight
Bridesmaid
Caroline and Kelsi met as sorority sisters and have been close ever since. She’s sincere, intuitive, and always brings a calm, thoughtful presence. She’s probably still coughing from her legendary bout of bronchitis (an inside joke that lives on forever).
Erin Fessenden
Bridesmaid
Erin and Kelsi have been friends since 5th grade and have grown up together through every phase of life. She’s adventurous, ambitious, and always planning her next outdoor challenge. These days you can find her hiking, fishing, and thriving outside.
Estefany Romero Lopez
Bridesmaid
Estefany and Kelsi have been friends since their first year of college. She’s loyal, diplomatic, and always someone you can count on for honest advice. She can also recite nearly every line from every Twilight movie, which is a true talent.
Gabi Hagedorn
Bridesmaid
Gabi and Kelsi met as sorority sisters and have been laughing ever since. She’s kooky, energetic, and guaranteed to bring the fun wherever she goes. If a song plays at the wedding, there’s a strong chance you’ll hear her say, “This was on Glee!”
Giselle Villegas
Bridesmaid
Giselle met Kelsi as a sorority sister and has been a constant ever since. She’s trustworthy, charismatic, and truly someone you can always count on, always standing up for others and supporting the people she loves. Today she’s also an amazing mother who somehow does it all.
Heather Harris
Bridesmaid
Heather and Kelsi have been friends since their first year of college when they were suitemates. She’s inventive, quick-witted, and could absolutely destroy anyone in trivia. She’s also an incredibly talented knitter and all-around creative.
Justina Shupperd
Bridesmaid
Justina and Kelsi have been friends since 4th grade and have grown up together through every stage of life. She’s sympathetic, hardworking, and always putting others first. When she’s not on her feet working as a nurse, she’s on her feet keeping up with her corgi, Rudy.
Megan Haltom
Bridesmaid
Megan has been in Kelsi’s life since their sorority days as little and big. She’s laid-back, cheerful, and always laughing at Kelsi’s jokes, which makes Kelsi feel like the funniest person alive. She’s also a proud corgi mom to Jefferson, who is just as lovable as she is.
Alec Penry

Alec and David have been friends since high school and have shared many of life’s milestones together. He’s authentic, loyal, and one of the most genuine people you’ll meet. He’s also an amazing guitar player and all-around great human.
Austin Perry
Groomsman
Austin and David met through work when Austin, a former Rose-Hulman student, did photography under David’s leadership. Over time, he’s become like a little brother to him. He’s upbeat, positive, and always brings great energy, even with a bad knee that somehow never stops him from playing sports.
Isaac Wonderlin
Groomsman
Isaac and David have been friends since high school. He’s energetic, passionate, and always up for a heated debate. Despite his best efforts, he holds an impressive losing streak to David in NBA 2K.
James Vinson
Groomsman
James and David met while working together at Rose-Hulman and also had actually been next-door apartment neighbors back in David’s pre-Kelsi days. He’s chill, kind, and always ready for some friendly competition. No one is beating him and David in 2-on-2 basketball, and he’s also the world’s biggest Cincinnati Bengals fan.
Landon Worrell
Groomsman
Landon and David have been friends since high school and share countless memories together. He’s sociable, determined, and always up for a good time. He’s also always down to smash some ice cream cake.
Luke Engelhard
Groomsman
Luke and David have been friends since high school. He’s knowledgeable, joyful, and always brings positive energy to the group. If you need a Chicago sports statistic or opinion, Luke is your guy. He’s also a skilled sports bettor and is currently remodeling his house, always working on his next project.
Ryan Gomolisky
Groomsman
Ryan and David have been friends since high school and share a bond that’s literally permanent, since he’s the only friend David has a matching tattoo with. He’s sincere, thoughtful, and easily the most stylish friend in the group. You can always count on Ryan to show up looking sharp.
Shae Orr
Groomsman
Shae has been one of David’s friends since high school. He’s easy-going, cheerful, and always brings a relaxed energy wherever he goes. Fun fact: he falls asleep to Toy Story EVERY night.
Travis Essex
Groomsman
Travis is David’s younger cousin and has always been more like a brother. He’s resilient, having beat cancer 3 times, adaptable, and dedicated to staying active. A true fitness buff, although stretching is still a work in progress.
Liam Keil
Ring Bearer
Liam is Kelsi’s nephew and full of nonstop energy. When he’s not watching the latest Minecraft video, he’s ready to play any and every board game. He keeps the whole family moving and laughing.
Madilyn Keil
Flower Girl
Madi is Kelsi’s niece and brings pure joy wherever she goes. She loves everything pink, unicorns, and all things sparkly. She’s also quickly developing a very sassy personality.
Noah Keil
Ring Bearer
Noah is Kelsi’s nephew and currently in a major growth spurt era. He spends most of his time eating absolutely everything and keeping everyone on their toes. He’s the sweetest little addition to the day.
