Valerie Kane

Bride

Joe Fritzjunker

Best Man

I met Joe when we were just a couple of young bucks at NDSU. We became friends after we realized we both shared a deep passion for the disappointment of Minnesota Sports. After taking almost every single class together for three years we became really close friends. Upon graduating Joe moved to Arkansas to work for some trucking company and later that year suggested that I should come down for an interview as well. Figuring I had nothing to lose as a 23 year old I went down and have been in Arkansas since then! Without Joe convincing me to move to Arkansas none of these events would be taking place, thank you Joe! - Eric

Michael Herm

Groomsman

Mike and I met when we were both on the same team at JB Hunt. After convincing Mike that he should start going to the gym with me we became very close friends. Competing against each other in sports such as golf and racquetball we both learned that we are very competitive friends. Even though Mike is a die hard packers fan, somehow we have remained very close. My favorite experience with Mike was visiting Mount Rushmore together.

Mitch Sawicki

Groomsman

From playing grand theft auto to running down pheasants, Mitch has always been the man. Mitch got me into lifting weights back in high school and continued to push me into that hobby as I entered college. Mitch, better known as Big Smooth, has always been a great friend and positive influence in my life. My favorite memory of Mitch are the many days we spent hunting on his family's land with their dog Jackson. - Eric

Cody Durkee

Groomsman

When the Durkee boys moved to Wilton I'm pretty sure my dad told me to stay far away from them. Thankfully I ignored my dad's advice and became friends with Cody in high school. One of my clearest memories of Cody came in my sophomore year of high school football. We were in Center, ND and we had the ball on our own 4 yard line. We called a run to my side of the line and I looked at Cody and told him to get ready to sprint for a touchdown. Legend says he's still running today! Cody broke all our hearts when he moved to Minneapolis but he made up for it by hosting us at his house many times, forging the strength of our friendship. I am thankful for another great friend in Cody! - Eric

Jason Durkee

Groomsman

In every guy's friend circle somebody has to fill the role of 'big brother'. For us lucky Wilton boys, we landed the greatest big brother of them all! Jason is a man of conviction and great compassion. These are both qualities that I sincerely admire and regularly try to emulate. Jason got me into disc golf in 2020 and I have been hooked ever since(someday I will beat him in a round!) From our trips to the mountains of Montana to the visits he made to me in Arkansas, I will always appreciate Jason as a friend and a big brother. - Eric

Holly is my sister, a shoe-in for Maid of Honor! So happy she can fulfill the role :)

Bethany Burney

Bridesmaid

Bethany was one of my first friends in Arkansas, my work bestie turned life bestie!

Caroline Daher

Bridesmaid

Caroline and I met freshman year of college, lived across the hall from each other and had the same neon pink backpack. An obvious sign we were meant to be best friends!

Noelle Rauer

Bridesmaid

Noelle and I were college roomies (along with Caroline) sophomore - senior year. We share an extreme love for doggos!

Carly Reaves

Bridesmaid

Carly can always be counted on for any outdoorsy activity! Very lucky to have met her in Arkansas and have her in my life. Don't ask her about sky-diving, she hates it.

Cade Durkee

Ring Bearer

Cade is the son of Cody and Gaby Durkee and is growing up to be a fabulous young man. If we're lucky maybe we'll get to see him dance, his favorite activity!

Cecilia Herm

Cecilia is the daughter of Michael and Kaela Herm. Cecilia is awesome just like her parents. She is growing up very fast and loves to talk about "Bobo" her grandpa's dog. Make sure to ask her about the puppies!
