Wedding Party
Everly Reynolds
Flower Girl
My favorite thing about Michelle and Dean: “I like to play with Michelle and Dean. And I went to McDonald’s before. We like to go on the playset. They got my pajamas wet in a water fight.”
Benton Reynolds
Ring Bearer
Favorite thing with Michelle and Dean: “I just like everything with them. Everything. It’s all my favorite. It’s just not one thing. Everything.”
Katie Woolums
Matron of Honor
Michelle and Katie met during an intense summer of ultimate pool, corn hole, and light theological reading and reflection. They lived together with Jill Dominy for 2 years during Echo and enjoyed cooking and eating dinners, playing games, and obsessing over Lost.
Bryant Ellis
Best Man
My "big" little brother Dean is always there for me or anyone he cares deeply about. It's never mattered what we've done, but we always knew no matter what it was...we were going to do it together, from nonstop fighting to relaxing for hours on the front porch.
Jill Dominy
Overseas Bridesmaid
Jill and Michelle met through Echo. Their friendship began to develop through raging at the Backer (and especially walking home afterward), Jeopardy competitions during study breaks, and margarita girls nights. However, they began to be sisters through praying together, supporting one another in all circumstances, and helping one another to love God more each day. Even though Jill will not be able to be physically present at the wedding, she is honored to accompany Michelle through prayer from the other side of the pond.

Best Man
The friendship I have with Dean is as strong as it gets. I've know him since we were little kids and I consider him and those he loves as much family as my own.
Jill Ross
Bridesmaid
There were good times. There were bad times. There were silly times. And there were leave-me-alone times. But mostly, there were sisterly times.
Michael Ellis
Groomsman
How I would describe Dean and I’s relationship is through perseverance, strong will, and sticking together. We have gotten through so many tough times. There is no Dean and Michael without Bryant and Zach. We were a unit, a brotherhood, a strong group and I would die for each one of them because I love each of them dearly. We have shared so many experiences together. I’m happy to enjoy the rest of my life knowing I have such wonderful men standing beside me. Love you Deano Beano.
Julie Ross
Bridesmaid
Julie, often mistaken as Michelle’s younger better-looking sister, began using Michelle’s ID at the ripe age of 19. She enjoys taking her canoe “Ted” named after Ted Bundy on day trips and intends on using it to travel to the wedding. Michelle walked through kilroys on kirkwood so Julie could run.

Dean has always wanted what’s best for me and my future and will do anything to help achieve that. He is someone I can always go to to get the down right truth even if it’s not what I want to hear.
Katie Lubs
Bridesmaid
Katie and Michelle met because Katie was a volunteer at Nativity. She just so happened to be a volunteer Michelle was warned about. Lucky for Michelle and Katie, Michelle disregarded advice and asked Katie to continue to volunteer. They became fast friends. Katie couldn't ask for a better one especially when Michelle smuggles wine into hospitals for her after she gives birth! Unfortunately Michelle broke Katie's four year old son's heart when she got engaged to Dean. Drew is still convinced Michelle will marry him instead!

Alicia Mumma
Bridesmaid
“Cousins by chance, friends by choice.” Michelle and Alicia were destined to be close when their moms were pregnant with them at the same time. Although they didn’t grow up super close to each other, that all changed when they decided to room together at IU. From baking cupcakes in a Cheeto puffs jar, to practicing CPR on a stuffed pig, to covering each other from head to toe in post it notes to study...they definitely got into their fair share of shenanigans.

Dean and I have been best friends since fifth grade and whether we had different interests or different hobbies, we never stopped hanging out. Our birthdays are on the exact same day which happens to be a funny coincidence, but it’s something that always stuck out to me the most as a friend. Dean is starting a new chapter in his life, but he’s helped me through a lot of personal stuff as I have with him and I only hope that continues as we move forward.
Allyson Petersen
Bridesmaid
From dressing up as duct tape crayons, running the streets of NWI, telling me my husband was the one, being there with me as I welcomed my first child - we’ve been through it all. I could not be prouder to stand next to you on your big day, like you stood next to me at mine. God gave me you, Maverick.
Jack Southard
Groomsman
I've known Deaner since 8th grade, and we have been best buds ever since. From the rugby pitch to almost getting hit by trains, to all the other dumb stuff we have done together, he's always been my brother.
Nathan Kunberger
Groomsman
Dean and I met when we were in the first grade. We saved our class currency from our good grades to buy time to play on the race track together. We were in class together first-fourth grade and are still friends today!
