Wedding Party
Adrianna Raddatz
Maid of Honor
Addy and Eddie (yes it gets confusing when they're in the same room) Bestie for life! These two met while working at Red Lobster almost 14 years ago, and became fast friends over lobster, laughs, and late night shifts. 🦞🦀🦐 Our friendship now includes every Saturday puppy cuddles with the new man in her life, Tito the Frenchie. 💕
Kenzie Monroe
Bridesmaid
Kenzie is Eddie's oldest daughter. She works very hard as a caregiver and has a passion for working with the elderly. Kenz has a huge heart and loves to spend her money on tattoos, to the joy of her mother. Fun fact-Kenzie wanted to be a lion when she was little (for TWO whole years)- The phrase "throw me some raw meat and let me sleep outside" was a regular thing. Can't make this up. :) She calls mom-"Momma" (warm and fuzzy)
Ari Monroe
Bridesmaid
Ari is Eddie's second oldest. She is the smartest out of Eddie's 3 daughters. She is also the one who wrote this so...some might find her the funniest too. ;) Oh and there's the fact that she is following in her mom's footsteps and going to school for nursing. Shining halo. She calls mom-"Mommy." (sweet and loving)
Ava Monroe
Bridesmaid
Ava is Eddie's youngest daughter. She is a senior in high school and has the best lashes in town! Ava works very hard as a caregiver at Primrose Retirement community. She should probably own stock in Chipotle..or at the very least be a spokesperson for Chipotle.🌯 Ava looooves music and singing. She calls mom-..."Mom." (straight to the point)
Ryan Bednarowski
Best Man
Ryan and Troy have a friendship with way too much history to fit into one paragraph! Their legendary tale started back in second grade at recess, when Troy was in timeout for being…bad (shocker, right?). Meanwhile, Ryan was playing solo, bouncing a ball against the wall. Fast forward to today, and they’ve shared some wild adventures together—from Troy being Ryan’s best man at his wedding just last year to Ryan now standing by Troy’s side. It’s all the feels!
Scott Soper
Groomsman
Scott, affectionately dubbed 'Scotty too Hotty' by Troy. Their journey began at a high school party.. the era of blue UV and lemonade of course!! They reconnected a few years back and it's been an effortless friendship ever since. Recently, Scott overcame a serious health challenge—a severe lung infection that required surgery—he has emerged on the other side with renewed zest for life and an inspiring outlook. We are beyond blessed to have him with us on our special day.
Nick Davis
Groomsman
Huge personality, huge heart! Troy and Nick met and then spent the next 15 hours on a drive to Oklahoma City. It was a "spontaneous business decision." 🤣🤣 They somehow didn't kill each other. I'm sure our kids have some memories of wild sleepovers! These two have spent hours together on the road, late nights on the job site, and MANY hours at the office totally agreeing on everything. (we'll go with that) We are beyond excited to have Nick be a part of our special day!!
Matt Rausch
Groomsman
Matt is one of Troy's oldest friends from HS. They met sophomore year in homeroom, which Troy was notoriously late or absent for. From whale watching absolutely hungover "WORST idea" to crazy nights out on the East coast. One such night involves a near shooting, tuck and roll in the birthday suit, and being chased around the house with a taser. Wow.. let's leave that one in the vault. Matt comes from Boston to join us on our special day!
