#ForTheRistOfTime

Rachel & Evan

Wedding Party

Meet the bridesmaids!

Lindsay Oncken

Matron of Honor

💕 Sister of the bride. Lindsay was brave enough to take on this role while juggling three kids and a full time job. Let’s all take a moment of silence to appreciate her. But seriously, Lindsay is very present in the lives of her family and has always looked out for Rachel even in the midst of her own busy life, because that’s what big sisters do. As they’ve gotten older, they’ve become a lot more like best friends. Rachel has always looked up to her and still does....because that’s what little sisters do. 💕

Jaime Holtgrewe

Maid of Honor

💖 Friend of the bride for 20 years. Jaime’s strong and supportive nature has grown to be something Rachel can’t imagine being without. This 20-year bond is real... Jaime's part of the family! A nurse in both profession and spirit, a weekend at Jaime’s makes everything feel better. She is truly the kind of friend to treasure forever. 💖

Tiffany Turner

Bridesmaid

Friend of the bide for 10+ years Tiffany and Rachel met by happenstance over ten years ago through friends, and immediately bonded over music and nature. Through the years Tiffany has been by Rachel's side during both the difficult times and most amazing times in her life - she's a ride or die buddy. Fun and beautiful adventures with Tiffany have always brought profound light to Rachel's life... and they always will.

Jessica Callaway

Bridesmaid

Cousin of the Bride Okay this girl has known Rachel her whole life. She was Lindsay's biggest cousin-buddy growing up but as they got older they bonded over music, humor, cute animals, and well, adult beverages. Rachel can always count on Jess for a good laugh and loves hanging out with her in St. Louis. She's one of her very best friends and Rachel is so excited (an honored) for Jessica to be a bridesmaid on the big day!

Adrienne Hamlin

Bridesmaid

Friend + Fellow CC Employee for 5 years Rachel literally chose to work for Columbia College based off her impression of Adrienne. Her warm & welcoming attitude is what drew her there. Over the years, they have become the closest of friends (Rachel's in Adrienne's wedding in November, too)! Adrienne is a bright, dependable, wonderful friend that Rachel can share anything with, especially the wedding day!

Audrey & Emma

Junior Bridesmaids

Nieces of the Bride Audrey (12) & Emma (9) are Rachel's first nieces and at the best ages for this role! They are having a ton of fun getting excited about the wedding and being great little helpers. We are honored to have them light up our best day ever!
