Wedding Party
Alyssa Boehlke
Matron of Honor
Alyssa is Ella's college bestie and wing-woman when Ella and Karl were getting to know each other. The two made a dynamic duo in college after running several clubs together, which created a lasting friendship built on daring escapades and politically incorrect humor. And a whole lot of girl-bossing too close to the sun (and living to tell about it).
Isaiah Mudge
Best Man
Isaiah met Karl in St. Louis when they were both there to interview for a scholarship, they have been bros ever since. They both share a love for old Lutheran Systematic Theology (very exciting!), walking & talking about life, and board games. Karl also (secretly) admires Isaiah's beard.
Sarah Wanta
Bridesmaid
Sarah is Ella's Highschool bestie. They recognized each other as kindred spirits all the way back in 9th grade English class, and have been sharing their mutual love of nature, star gazing, sushi and ice cream, and deep chats ever since.
Matthew Nicolle
Groomsman
Matthew and Karl have been friends since high school, enjoying many conversations about life. They have maintained this friendship for over a decade as they live across the Pacific Ocean from each other.
Anastasiya Camp
Bridesmaid
