Erin & Jackson
Wedding Party
Zach Barber
Best Man
Zach "Steve" Barber is the eldest of the Barber boys and I am incredibly excited to have him as my best man. Steve and I have been inseparable since attending college together and have been fortunate to have each other to pursue our many outdoor adventures and hobbies together. Just don't bring up the finish of the Leadman Triathlon in 2018... Keep an eye out for this guy on the dance floor and if you're lucky you might come away with some financial advice by the end of the night.
Riley Pennington
Maid of Honor
Riley is the middle Pennington sister (some, but not all middle child traits apply). She’s kind, motivated, talented in many ways, and has been my best friend her whole life. You can always count on Riley to be on your side in any situation. Watch out for the combination of Riley and Liv on the dance floor - they’ve been known to break some hearts!
Sam Barber
Groomsman
Sam "Monty" Barber is the youngest of the Barber boys and is the front runner for biggest liability of the wedding night. Monty lives life passionately and filed 6 different W2s last year including a job on a cruise ship and a security guard at Walgreens. This guy can do it all. Sam brings the energy and doesn't go anywhere without making new friends and getting free drinks. The biggest question that remains, who will be his plus one?
Olivia Pennington
Maid of Honor
Liv is the youngest and spunkiest of the Pennington girls. She says what's on her mind and seemingly says it without fear - a trait that may have gotten her in trouble a time or two. Somehow Liv went from this tiny curly headed baby to a 6 foot tall athletic, gorgeous girl. I couldn't be more proud of the person my baby sister has become.
Quinn Barber
Groomsman
Quinn "Rich" Barber is my younger brother and is coming to us all the way from South Carolina! Quinn is a man of many talents, a self taught musician, and one heck of a car salesman. As kids, Quinn and I had a strong bond of always beating Zach and Sam at our wide variety of backyard sporting events from badminton to football. He likes to get "groovy" and is always the life of the party!
Lana Hanson
Bridesmaid
Lana became one of my very best friends on the first day of dental school. I knew shortly after meeting her that we'd be life-long friends. Together we can talk for endless hours and never run out of things to say. There's no such thing as a "quick" conversation with Lana! She's compassionate and has a way of making everyone around her feel important and seen. Lana plans the biggest, most exciting things for her future - the latest being a job acceptance in rural Alaska!
Ryan Porch
Groomsman
Ryan will be our celebrity guest appearance for the evening as he steps away from the golf course to join us for our special day. Ryan has been a great friend and even better party host over the years and we couldn't be more excited to see how he will handle the wedding night. Ryan has recently become a CrossFit advocate and i'm just hoping he will still wear a shirt that fits...
Gracie Olson
Bridesmaid
Gracie is the newest resident of the Pacific Northwest after she made the big move last summer! Almost 9 years ago Gracie asked if I would want to ride to golf practice with her and we've been friends ever since. She's been an amazing roommate, gym partner, hiking buddy, golfing friend, and much more this past year. Gracie will be bringing lots of energy and her contagious smile to the wedding!
Logan Iverson
Groomsman
Logan and I went from arch rivals on the little guy football field to best friends. It was a tie man, you have to let it go... Once Logan needed help with his math homework in high school we have been bonded ever since. We cherish days at the lake, powder days with the boyz, and our yearly hunting trip to Conrad. Trust me you will hear this guy coming... and PLEASE make sure to get some food before he makes it up to the buffet line.
Katie Krueger
Bridesmaid
The first day Katie and I met on the Concordia golf team almost 7 years ago, we instantly became friends. Katie is the friend who will answer a phone call at any time of the day, pick you up from the bars when you're sad and miss your boyfriend (real life example), she will drop what she's doing to be there for her friends. Together we've spent many nights laughing until our abs are sore and we're so tired we can't keep our eyes open. If you dance too hard on the wedding night, give Katie a call on Sunday for a chiropractic adjustment!
Sean O'Connell
Groomsman
Sean is by far the most stubborn but one of the most generous and closest friends throughout my lifetime. Once he found out I was getting married he quickly started planning a wedding of his own. Was this just a coincidence? From little league baseball to both planning weddings for this summer I couldn't be more thankful for our friendship! Keep on eye on this guy the night of the wedding because he has been known to "let er buck"
Rachel Osmundson
Bridesmaid
Rachel and I have been friends for 8 1/2 years, and were roommates for almost 5 of them! She has been there through the good times, not so good times, and everything in between. Rachel's excitement for life is unmatched. She's always looking for any excuse for a vacation, road trip, or activity. She's also the person I go to when I need help rationalizing any decision, including clothing purchases - retail therapy is a real thing. Be sure to congratulate Rachel and her fiancé, Treyton, on their recent engagement and take a good look at her beautiful ring! Take notes, guys!
Connor O'Neill
Groomsman
Dr. Connor O'Neill became a close friend quickly when we began Medical School together. His wife, Monique and their dog, Tillie were a family and amazing support system for me during my time in Washington. There isn't a whole lot of great things to come out of Yakima, WA other than Cooper Kupp and our great friendship. Make sure to congratulate this guy on recently becoming a father and take advantage of some free healthcare advice.
Marge Yahn
Bridesmaid
The first night I met Marge was a couple days before dental school started. She was single handedly holding the attention of 10 people while she elaborately told a story. Now here we are almost four years later and nothing has changed. Whether it's a story about a recent patient interaction, a boy she met, or something about her dog Henry, Marge leave NO details out and she will be sure to make you laugh. Marge is one of the funniest and most entertaining people I know and has brought so much laughter and endless smiles to our friendship!
