Wedding Party
Tony Meinhart
Father of the Bride
Meet Tony, the quiet and gentle heart behind the bride. A true girl dad through and through, Tony has always shown his love in the softest, most steady ways—through quiet support, thoughtful gestures, and a comforting presence that never asks for attention. His shy smile and kind spirit have been constants in her life, and the bond they share is something truly special. We’re so grateful for the love he’s poured into every chapter leading up to this day and so honored to have him by our side as we celebrate this new beginning.
Rachel & Heath Houck
Mother and Step Father of the Bride
Meet Rachel and Heath—two of the bride’s biggest supporters. Rachel’s love, encouragement, and huge heart, along with Heath’s steady kindness and easygoing nature, have shaped so many moments in her life. Together, they’ve created a home filled with laughter, support, and so much love. We’re incredibly thankful for everything they’ve poured into this journey and so happy to have them celebrating with us.
John & Shawna O'Dell
Parents of the Groom
Meet the two people who fully explain why Will is the way he is. He’s the perfect mix of both of them: his mom’s brains and heart, paired with his dad’s common sense, humor, and signature sarcasm. A combination that somehow works… most of the time. As for his ADD? Neither one of them is claiming responsibility for that. It remains a mystery. They’ve spent a lifetime loving, supporting, encouraging, and occasionally shaking their heads at Will — all while shaping him into the man he is today. As we celebrate this next chapter, we’re incredibly grateful for everything they’ve given him and couldn’t be happier to have them by our side (sarcastic comments included).
Estella Meinhart
Maid of Honor
As the third Meinhart sister, Stella has always been the calm in the chaos, the peacekeeper, and the one who somehow knows where everyone’s missing things are. Growing up in the Meinhart household prepared her perfectly for Maid of Honor duties — organized, thoughtful, and always ready with a quick, well‑timed laugh. Stella is also the baby whisperer. She perfected this talent by carrying Hadleigh — the family’s oversized, barking baby — all the way to the top bunk so they could sleep together. If a child needs calming, cuddling, or convincing, Stella is the first call. When she’s not being the kid‑tamer of the family, Stella is perfecting her marketing skills in between working with Grandma Rose at the lumber yard and juggling classes. Somehow, she manages to do it all with grace, humor, and that unmistakable Meinhart charm. She’s been by the bride’s side through every season of life, and there’s truly no one better to stand with her on the big day.
Eva Meinhart
Bridesmaid
As the second Meinhart sister, Eva has perfected the art of keeping everyone humble. Known for delivering honest opinions no one asked for (but everyone needed), Eva brings the perfect balance of sarcasm, style, and sibling‑level judgment to the wedding party. Growing up between the oldest and the youngest gave her survival skills unmatched by any normal human: lightning‑fast comebacks, the ability to detect nonsense from across a room, and a talent for making chaos genuinely entertaining. But Eva isn’t just the family’s comic relief — she’s also wildly talented. She’s a great baker, has DJed both a wedding and a prom (because obviously), and she works on the farm keeping Dad and the guys in line better than anyone else ever could. It’s only fitting that Eva is here to supply laughs, keep everyone in check, and ensure no one takes themselves too seriously — just like she’s done her whole life.
Elaina Meinhart
Bridesmaid
Every family has a favorite, and in this one, it’s absolutely the baby sister — no debate, no appeals, no recounts. Lanie has spent her entire life getting away with things the rest of the siblings wouldn’t dream of attempting… and somehow still being praised for it. Case in point: casually driving around town before she was even 16. As the youngest Meinhart, she’s perfected the sweet‑smile, innocent‑eyes routine that convinces everyone she can do no wrong. And honestly? It still works. Beneath that charm is a hidden talent for sewing — she’s even made a full‑sized blanket — because of course the favorite is also talented. She also shares a deep love for homemade donuts with Will, and we’re still unsure who could eat more if it ever came down to a competition. Lanie brings energy, charm, and just the right amount of mischief to the wedding party. Whether she’s “accidentally” stealing the spotlight or keeping everyone laughing, the day wouldn’t be complete without her.
Maggie Britton
Bridesmaid
Every bride needs a grounding force, a voice of honesty, and a little bit of wild-hearted wisdom — and for me, that has always been Maggie. One of the five originals who has been there since kindergarten, she’s the friend who knows the history, the inside jokes, the questionable phases… and sticks around anyway. A true free spirit, Maggie is the one who tells us exactly what we need to hear, even when it’s not what we want to hear — and somehow makes it feel like encouragement instead of a reality check. She brings laughter, clarity, and that signature Maggie energy that turns any moment into a memory. The celebration wouldn’t be complete without her. She’s been part of the story from the very beginning, and it means everything to have her here for this chapter, too.
Jozlyn Haycraft
Bridesmaid
Jozlyn is one of the original five — the kind of friend who shows up, sticks around, and somehow makes even the hardest seasons feel survivable. We went through two absolutely grueling years of nursing school together, sharing sleepless nights, mental breakdowns, coffee-fueled study sessions, and the kind of trauma-bonding only exams and clinicals can create. She’s the friend who can calm chaos, laugh through the stress, and remind you that you will survive — even when you’re convinced you won’t. Her loyalty, strength, and perfectly timed humor carried us through more than either of us care to admit. Having her by my side for this day means everything. If we can survive nursing school together, we can absolutely handle a wedding.
Jadyn Pruemer
Bridesmaid
Jadyn is one of the original five — the friend whose kindness isn’t just something people notice, it’s something they feel. With a heart of gold and a spirit that makes every room brighter, she’s been a constant source of support, laughter, and gentle wisdom throughout the years. She’s also my best thrifting buddy — the one who can spot a hidden gem from across the store, talk me into (or out of) a questionable find, and turn an ordinary shopping trip into a full‑on adventure. Some of our best conversations have happened between clothing racks. Having her by my side on this day feels so natural, because she’s been right beside me through so many moments already.
Alli Schmidt
Bridesmaid
Alli is one of the original five — the friend whose kindness shows up in every moment, big or small. She has a quiet, steady compassion that makes people instantly feel safe, heard, and cared for. Whether she’s offering a listening ear, a comforting word, or just her calming presence, Alli has a way of making life feel a little lighter. She’s been there through every season, always showing up with grace, understanding, and a heart that never hesitates to give. Having her by my side for this day feels like the most natural thing in the world.
Natalie O’Dell
Best Woman
Natalie has been Will’s best friend from the very first day Natalie was born — literally. Natalie had Will wrapped around her finger from the very first night Will met Natalie, and honestly, nothing has changed since. From childhood adventures to grown‑up milestones, Natalie has been Will’s constant partner in chaos, mischief, and every questionable decision in between. And if there’s one person who knows exactly how to push Will’s buttons (with surgical precision), it’s Natalie… *just ask Will.* Natalie has the stories, the leverage, and the lifelong receipts. Playing dress‑up, American Girl dolls, Barbies, jumping on the trampoline in their underwear, and watching endless hours of Will playing baseball — Natalie has been there for it all, usually convincing Will to do exactly what Natalie wants. After a lifetime of keeping Will in line, Natalie is more than ready to turn that responsibility over to Emma. Natalie is thrilled to pass the baton — and honestly relieved someone else is officially in charge of him now. Their bond is one‑of‑a‑kind, built on laughter, loyalty, and the kind of sibling connection that survives every chapter of life. Natalie has seen every version of Will, supported each one, and still manages to keep Will grounded when it matters most. It only makes sense that the person who’s been by Will’s side since day one is standing beside Will today!
Jackson Hartman
Groomsman
Jackson isn’t just Will’s cousin — he’s the one who proudly picked up and carried on Will’s favorite number, #5. What started as a small connection between two kids turned into a tradition, a badge of honor, and a bond that has followed them both through the years. Whether it was sports, family get‑togethers, or any competitive moment in between, Jackson has always brought the same heart, loyalty, and quiet confidence that made #5 special in the first place. Their shared number is just a symbol, but it represents so much more: family, friendship, and the kind of connection that sticks for a lifetime. Will is honored to have Jackson by his side — on the field, in life, and now, on this day.
Ike Houck
Groomsman
Ike is the little brother the Meinhart girls never knew they needed — but absolutely needed someone to pick on. Quiet, patient, and somehow still hanging around after surviving the chaos of four Meinhart sisters, Ike deserves a medal just for sticking it out. At this point, Ike is probably just relieved there’s officially another guy who’s permanently joining the crew — someone to help balance out the estrogen levels and share the struggle. Having Ike in the wedding party is proof that once you’re in, there’s no escape.
Xander Neamtu
Groomsman
Xander is the newest member of the O'Dell “All of Us” thread, and he’s blended into the chaos like he’s been here the whole time. He stepped right into the group with the perfect mix of humor, patience, and willingness to keep up. Will is especially grateful to have Xander around… mostly because it finally gives him someone firmly on his side. After a lifetime of being lovingly outnumbered by his sister, Natalie, having another guy in the mix is a welcome change — and Xander plays the role perfectly. He may be new to the thread, but he fits right in with the family vibe and Will is glad he is by his side.
Ben Oakley
Groomsman
Ben may technically be Will’s uncle, but with their close ages, it’s always been unclear who’s supervising who — and honestly, the safe bet is neither. If there was ever someone who could get Will into a questionable idea and then claim it was Will’s fault, it’s Ben. One of Will’s favorite (and slightly traumatizing) memories is playing the cajón at Aunt Katy and Ben’s wedding — sweating bullets while Ben looked at him like he was auditioning for a world tour. Ben has always been the source of loud laughter, louder stories, and the kind of advice that starts with “trust me” and absolutely should not be trusted. Having Ben in the wedding party is perfect — partly because Will loves him, and partly because it’s the only way to keep an eye on what Ben might do unsupervised.
Luke Romack
Groomsman
Luke is one‑third of what some might call the Three Stooges. Known affectionately as “Uncle Luke” in Will's contacts, he’s been part of the chaos for years — but under no circumstances should Luke ever be put in charge of naming group chats. We tried. Once. Never again. This friendship started over baseball and somehow evolved into a lifetime of video games, questionable decision‑making, and golfing that may or may not actually improve with time. Luke is the oldest of the crew — but whether that translates to being the wisest is still very much up for debate. From skipping class to go to Opening Day, to every ridiculous adventure since, Luke has been a constant, loyal part of Will’s life. He’s earned his spot here, even if the rest of us still aren’t sure who’s supervising who.
Kaden Young
Groomsman
Kaden is another key member of the Three Stooges trio — though he’s usually the one trying (and failing) to keep the other two in line. Will and Kaden started their friendship on the baseball field at age six, but these days their “athletic rivalry” has mostly shifted to video games and golf, where Kaden somehow wins just often enough to keep Will fired up for the next rematch. Despite being the responsible one of the trio — the voice of reason, the planner, the one who actually reads instructions — Kaden has still been known to skip class with Will and Luke for Opening Day. Because even responsible people have priorities… and baseball apparently outranks academics, work, life... They’ve grown up together, laughed through everything, and caused just enough trouble to keep life interesting. Having Kaden in the wedding party is simply a continuation of years of friendship, competition, and questionable decision‑making.
Bennett Hartman
Ring Security
Bennett is a proud member of Will’s personal fan club — and honestly, he might be the president. He even carries on Will’s beloved #5, which in their world is basically the highest honor you can receive. If Will loves it, Bennett is already obsessed with it. That includes Legos, anything Illinois, and of course, the St. Louis Cardinals — a fandom he commits to with the same intensity he brings to building the world’s most elaborate Lego creations. Bennett’s enthusiasm, loyalty, and big heart have made him one of Will’s favorite people to grow up with. Having him in the wedding party is an easy choice — he’s been cheering Will on for years, and now he gets to do it all dressed up.
Addy Probst
Bridal Assistant
Addy is cousin to Emma and the ultimate helper. She’s always the first to jump in, lend a hand, carry something, straighten something, or fix something — usually before anyone even asks. Addy brings a sweet, steady energy to the day, making everything run smoother just by being part of it. Her big personality, kindness, and eagerness to help make her an irreplaceable part of the bridal crew.
Izzy Probst
Bridal Assistant
Izzy is cousin to Emma — quiet on the outside but a total smart‑ass once she warms up. She brings the perfect mix of calm energy and razor‑sharp humor to the wedding crew. She’s the one keeping everything in check with a raised eyebrow, a well‑timed comment, and that trademark unbothered attitude only Izzy can pull off. If something needs to be done, she’ll get it done. If someone needs a reality check, she’ll deliver it — quietly, efficiently, and with a smirk you’ll notice three seconds too late. The flower‑girl posse may have the petals, but Izzy? Izzy has the power.
Carolyn Deeken
Flower Girl
Carolyn is part of the flower‑girl posse and is, without question, too smart for her own good. She picks up on everything, remembers everything, and has absolutely no problem sharing her thoughts — because she’s also one of the chattiest members of the crew. If there’s a question, Carolyn has an answer. If there’s silence, Carolyn will fix it. And if there’s something happening, she’s already three steps ahead, analyzing it like a tiny detective. She brings brains, personality, and a whole lot of chatter to the aisle — and we adore every bit of it.
Callie Emmerich
Flower Girl
Callie is the tiniest member of the flower‑girl posse and truly the sweetest, happiest baby around. She smiles at everyone, charms the whole room, and generally acts like she’s been training for this moment since birth. She’s also the complete opposite of her cry‑baby older brother — which she will likely hold over him for the rest of their lives. While he’s melting down, Callie’s just vibing, looking adorable, and collecting fans everywhere she goes. She brings sweetness, calm, and baby‑level cuteness to the crew — and we love her for it.
Sophia Hartman
Flower Girl
Sophia, Will’s cousin, is a proud member of the flower‑girl posse — and she took her role very seriously. In fact, she was fully prepared to out‑dress the bride. We had to gently (and repeatedly) hold her back from too much sparkle, a longer train, and heels high enough to qualify as a safety hazard. Even toned down, she’s still bringing the glam, the attitude, and enough confidence to power the entire wedding party.
Addy Hinterscher
Flower Girl
Addy, cousin to Emma, is the little flower child of the posse — fearless, giggly, and always ready to sprinkle joy (and petals) wherever she goes. She jumps into every moment with a big smile and zero hesitation, bringing sunshine and nonstop laughter to the crew. Whether she’s twirling, exploring, or leading the other girls on tiny adventures, Addy brings pure happiness to the aisle — and we adore having her as part of the flower‑girl posse.
Aubree Hinterscher
Flower Girl
Aubree is the youngest Hinterscher sister and cousin to Emma — the easygoing, go‑with‑the‑flow spirit in a house full of three wonderfully bossy sisters. While the others are busy directing, deciding, and debating, Aubree is happily along for the ride, bringing calm sweetness and a big heart to the flower‑girl posse. She’s the girl who rolls with anything, smiles through everything, and makes every moment just a little brighter simply by being there.
Brooklyn Hinterscher
Flower Girl
Brooklyn, Emma’s cousin, is the sweetest and quietest little thing… at first. Give her a few minutes to warm up and she transforms into a full‑on ball of energy — silly, giggly, and ready to run the show with the rest of the flower‑girl posse. She brings sweetness, spark, and just the right amount of chaos to the group, and we absolutely love having her as part of the crew.
Makenna Hinterscher
Flower Girl
Makenna is the unquestioned leader of the Hinterscher girls — a role she takes very seriously. With some serious oldest‑sister syndrome (sound like the oldest Meinhart girl, maybe?), she runs a tight ship. Bossy? Absolutely. Perfectionist? Without hesitation. Does she care? Not even a little. Although she is Emma's cousin, some may say they are two of a kind. Whether she’s organizing the younger girls, directing the chaos, or making sure every petal lands exactly where it should, Makenna brings big‑sister energy to the flower‑girl posse — and honestly, the crew wouldn’t function without her.
Nori Repking
Flower Girl
Nori may be Emma’s cousin, but everyone knows she’s really Grandma Rose’s bestie. Spirited, lively, and full of personality, Nori brings her own sparkle to the flower‑girl posse. She’s the girl who can go from sweet smiles to big energy in a heartbeat, keeping everyone entertained (especially Grandma). Whether she’s twirling, chatting, or glued to Grandma Rose’s side, Nori adds joy, charm, and a whole lot of spirit to the aisle — and we adore having her.
Maybrie Schumacher
Flower Girl
Maybrie, Emma's cousin, marches entirely to the beat of her own drum — and honestly, we’re all just trying to keep up. She is the definition of a wild child: fearless, free‑spirited, and blissfully unbothered by things like rules, schedules, or gravity. Her hair is always a rat’s nest, and she does not give a single damn — which somehow just makes her even more iconic. Whether she’s running, twirling, climbing, or causing adorable chaos, Maybrie brings a burst of untamed energy to the flower‑girl posse. She may not follow the script, but she makes everything more fun. And really… what’s a wedding without a little wild magic?
Aivynn Schweska
Flower Girl
Aivy, Will’s cousin, brings pure silliness and nonstop energy to the flower‑girl posse. She and her sister have an ongoing competition over who can stand on their hands the longest or who can hold a plank without collapsing — and honestly, no one’s sure who’s winning anymore. Add in her love for candy, and you’ve got a full‑on sugar‑powered acrobat. While most people come to weddings excited for cake, Aivy has made it very clear: she doesn’t want wedding cake… she wants wedding candy. And honestly? She might be onto something. Whether she’s upside down, giggling, snacking, or challenging someone to a new competition, Aivy brings fun, personality, and just the right amount of chaos to the aisle. We’re so glad she’s part of the flower‑girl crew.
Halcyon Schweska
Flower Girl
Halcy is one of Will’s cousins and one of the older members of the flower‑girl posse — but that didn’t stop her from jumping (or flipping) right into the role with full enthusiasm. If she’s not upside down, walking on her hands, or attempting some acrobatic move no one else can do, she’s probably gearing up for the next one. She’s the more serious cousin of the crew, and she gives Will one of her infamous “you’re dumb” looks more often than not — and honestly, he probably deserves at least half of them. She brings energy, excitement, and just the right mix of circus‑skills and side‑eye to the aisle — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Adalyn Spannagel
Flower Girl
Adalyn, cousin to Emma, is the quiet sweetheart of the flower‑girl posse. She may be shy at first, but once she warms up, she’s all smiles — especially if there’s singing involved. Adalyn loves to sing, hum, and turn any moment into a tiny concert, bringing a gentle charm and soft joy to the group. She’s sweet, calm, and adds the perfect touch of melody to the aisle.
Aubree Westendorf
Flower Girl
Aubree, Emma’s cousin, is the heart of the flower‑girl posse — the empathetic soul who feels everything deeply and cares for everyone around her. She loves all animals with her whole heart, whether they’re big, small, furry, or feathery, and she brings that same kindness and gentleness into everything she does. She’s soft‑spoken, sweet, and has the kind of warm spirit that makes everyone around her feel instantly loved. Aubree adds a beautiful touch of tenderness to the aisle, and we’re so grateful to have her as part of the crew.
Emmy Westendorf
Flower Girl
Emmy, Emma’s cousin, is the happiest little ray of sunshine in the flower‑girl crew. She’s Maye’s beloved rag doll — carried, hugged, and toted around everywhere — and she doesn’t mind one bit. As long as she’s with her people, she’s smiling. She’s also a total daddy’s girl, flashing that adorable grin whenever he’s nearby. Quietly sweet but full of personality, Emmy brings pure joy, big smiles, and plenty of cuteness to the aisle.
Harper Westendorf
Flower Girl
Harper is the quiet, kindhearted member of the flower‑girl posse — soft‑spoken, sweet, and always ready with a smile. But don’t let that gentle voice fool you… she absolutely knows all the kindergarten drama. And if you ask nicely? She’ll spill the tea with perfect detail and zero hesitation. And of course she’s definitely Emma’s cousin — because we all know how much she loves the tea. Harper brings sweetness, calm, and just the right amount of adorable gossip to the aisle — and we love every bit of her.
Maye Westendorf
Flower Girl
Maye, Emma’s cousin, is the fashionista of the flower‑girl crew — always put together, always accessorized, and always ready to lead the way. With big style, big confidence, and big “I know exactly what we’re doing” energy, she naturally steps into the role of leader among the girls. Whether she’s coordinating outfits, directing the others, or posing like she’s on a mini runway, Maye brings charm, personality, and plenty of sparkle to the aisle.
Josie Repking
Program Attendant
Josie, Emma’s cousin, has always had full‑on mother‑hen energy — the girl who can take care of herself and everyone else while barely breaking a sweat. She’s responsible, calm, and the first to step in when something needs handled. She was also way too cool for petals, which is exactly why she’s stationed at the end of the aisle as one of the beauties greeting everyone. While the flower‑girl posse handles the chaos, Josie keeps things classy, collected, and perfectly under control — just like she always does.
Nora Schumacher
Program Attendant
Nora, Emma’s cousin, is one of the beauties stationed at the end of the aisle — because she was way too cool to be grouped with the younger flower girls. With her calm confidence and natural grace, she brings a touch of elegance to the wedding entrance. She’s also a talented cross‑country runner, the kind of girl who can run miles without sweating — and will absolutely jog circles around anyone who tries to keep up. Honestly, if we needed someone to sprint down the aisle in an emergency, Nora would have it handled before anyone else even stood up. A true best friend and steady presence, she keeps everything running smoothly (pun fully intended).
Clara Spannagel
Program Attendant
Clara, Emma’s cousin, is one of the beauties stationed at the end of the aisle — and for good reason. She would never be caught dead as a flower girl. She’s far too grown, too glamorous, and frankly too cool to be tossing petals with the little ones. Funny, confident, and full of personality, Clara brings her own charm to the wedding team. She loves sports, knows how to make people laugh, and adds the perfect mix of humor and attitude to the day.
