Emma & Thomas
Wedding Party
Anna Lillig
Maid of Honor
Anna and I quickly became best friends when we first met over 10 years ago. Throughout our years of playing soccer together, Anna has always had my back on and off the field.
Kyle Tomc
Groomsman
My oldest friend and strongest supporter, Kyle is the type of friend that everyone wishes they could have. Over the years, he and I have seen it all, including many things we will never forget and some things we can't no matter how hard we try. P.s., he and his wife Lizzie were just married in December, be sure to congratulate them!
Kaylee Black
Bridesmaid
Kaylee and I bonded through playing together for multiple soccer seasons, trips to worlds of fun, and trips to Florida! Kaylee's kind heart and desire to put others before herself are truly admirable.
Sean Waters
Groomsman
There are two things you need to know about Sean: 1) he still knows the words to every Nickleback song, and 2) he writes the best birthday cards you've ever read. Oh and ask him about the time we went out after he donated plasma.
Grace Elrod
Bridesmaid
Grace has a heart of gold! Ever since our friendship began while playing club soccer together, I've known I could rely on her for a good laugh. Plus she's very cultured, just ask her about her great British accent!
Scott Geisinger
Groomsman
My brother and oldest friend. Growing up, I did everything with Scott (whether he wanted me around or not!) and he continues to be an essential part of my life. If you know us both, you know we are different in many ways, but believe me when I say, no one has a bigger heart than this guy. For example, he is probably already thinking about Christmas 2023.
Olivia Woods
Bridesmaid
Olivia has been here for me since day 1... literally! Over the last 25 years of friendship, we've continued to support and encourage each other to be the best versions of ourselves!
Andrew Meinking
Groomsman
As the name implies, Andrew is Emma's older brother, but with so many shared interests, I like to think Andrew and I would have been friends without the connection! Andrew is my go-to for all things men's fashion, watches, sports, and cigars. And although he is very good, please don't ask him for legal advise at the wedding.
Montana England
Bridesmaid
Our friendship dates all the way back to 5th grade! Between talking too much in class and countless sleepovers, we became best friends! You couldn't find a better partner for a marg at Rancho Grande and a movie night!
Nicholas Billings
Groomsman
If you know my family pretty well, you have probably been invited to our house at the Lake of the Ozarks at some point. Nick is a big part of why the Lake is so special to us. This is someone who can talk about anything and never fails to put a smile on your face. When you say hi, believe everything he says about Emma and nothing he says about me. ;)
Kacey Saunier
Bridesmaid
Kacey has truly become the sister I've always wanted but never had! Between her kind heart and her ability to make people laugh, Kacey is someone you always want to have around!
Matthew Eblen
Groomsman
Do you have a friend that brings so much energy, that you forget whatever you were thinking about before you you saw them? I do; that's Matt. When we met in college, I learned he can be serious too! In fact, I'm pretty sure we've solved all the world's problems at least once, but that usually happens after midnight and we never seem to remember the answers...
Victoria Haggerty
Bridesmaid
Victoria and I became fast friends during our sophomore year of high school! Victoria is someone I know I can always lean on for support! She is extremely dedicated to all that she does and is going to make a great lawyer one day! Oh, and you'll have to ask her about the story of "America's Bae"!
Regan Hill
Groomsman
“LIFE IS SHORT. DRIVE FAST AND LEAVE A SEXY CORPSE." — Regan "Stanley" Hill. Okay, I'm not sure he actually said this, but it sounds like he could have! And although basketball analogies make no sense for Regan, he is the point guard to the R-M-T offense that so influenced my college experience. Oh! And this guy is going to make a great Doctor one day!
Maverick
Boy of Honor
The most loveable dog. You can always rely on Maverick for kisses, fun conversations when he's begging for food and loves to snuggle on the couch!
Buddy
Best Bud
The latest addition to the Meinking family, Buddy always lets you know you were missed while you were away and a puppy kiss from Buddy means you've really made it!
