Elizabeth & Ben
Wedding Party
Shannon Torres
Matron of Honor
My big sister and who has been there since the very begin. She is the one that is not afraid to tell me if she doesn't like who I am with and when it came to Ben she just said "you are going to have some white babies" and "this one I like, unlike the other ones they were not good."
Adam Henningsen
Best Man
My brother and my best friend! Adam has always been there for me in my life. We even went on cruise together just me and him and left the woman at home! By the way we had a blast! Me and Adam enjoy very similar things like going on random adventures, looking for deals, enjoying a cocktail, being very aggressive, smoking an occasional cigar, going camping, and many more things.
Keilah Baniak
Bridesmaid
It all started with a set of twins....my best friend from my years in college Keilah and I shared a set of twins as roommates and the rest was history. She met her now husband on St Patrick's day 2014 and when I told her I was meeting Ben for the first time on St Patrick's day she said maybe you will have the same luck as me....it looks that I did.
Jeremy Henningsen
Groomsman
My Cousin and an an awesome friend to have! Me and Jeremy have been best buds since we were little from sleeping over at Jeremy's house when we were kids to partying in college (even when I was in high school...Don't tell Mom) We are fierce competitors at golf and just like Adam and Me, Jeremy will challenge you at anything. Jeremy and I did 50 miler hikes back in the days when Jeremy earned his eagle scout.
Jenny Green
Bridesmaid
One of my life mates...friends since kindergarden with moments of time where there may have been seperations she is one that I could still turn to after all the years that will have my back. She even travels half way across the world (Lives in Amsterdam at the moment) to be in my wedding after 3 years of not seeing each other. My wild friend throughout school was always her and the jokes on the parents who thought I was the bad influence in our pairing. Our weddings first causality: Jenny will be with us for our day in spirit as she is unable to fly home from Europe due to COVID restrictions and school.
Ryan Guslani
Groomsman
Goes by Goose! not Guslani. Goose is one of my best friends that I call my brother (frant Bro's). I got lucky enough to meet Goose when rushing for Lambda Chi Alpha freshman year of college. I would go down to the bottom level of the frat house and Goose was always chilling with a drink in his hand and watching the Giants kick ass! I started hanging out in his room as I'm a giants fan as well and realized we had alot in common. Goose was always there for me in college and we had alot of a crazy and memorable experiences that will never be forgotten.
Heather Castelli
Bridesmaid
My other life mate... I have known Heather since 2nd grade and had been friends ever since. Another friend that time as no effect on and one that hasnt faded throughout time even if space of speaking has seperated us. I believe growing up in her house was what allowed me to grow up girlier than what would have happened without her.
Ricky Hanna
Groomsman
Met Ricky freshman year outside of the dorms. Randomly met him and then we started hanging out. Ricky is also my Frat Brother and is great friends with Goose. Me and Ricky would often be at the frat house or be snowboarding up at the resorts. Ricky met his now wife Liz freshman year of college and still let us be boys and do some not so smart stuff.
Jordan Miguel
Bridesmaid
My first friend in Reno, she has taken me into her life and brought me into a friend group that has been built on years of friendship and they took me in without question. She is also my wedding planning partner and the question to go into business together is up in the air.
Josh Gansberg
Groomsman
Josh has been in my life since we were babies. We both went to a Lutheran church and our families were best friends. Me and Josh grew up playing baseball together, goofing off at church, and were up to no good good all the time (according to his sisters) haha. Josh has always been trust worthy friend who I could count on.
Jen Bartholomew
Bridesmaid
A fresh friend that has grown with each craft day and vent session. She has become a friend here in Reno that I can turn to with anything and is always there for a pep talk or a good wine time.
Jared Baxter
Groomsman
Like Josh, me and Jared grew up in diapers as friends. Jared also went to the Lutheran Church. Me and Jared always had fun no matter what. We often would get bored and come up with projects or stuff to do that was not the smartest. I guess you could call us piro's back in the day for the amount of explosions we created. Jared lives in Pennsylvania now so we haven't been able to hang out much but Jared will always be a friend to do stuff with. Jared was always a go with the flow kind of guy and no expectations which made him easy to get along with!
