Grace & Blaise
Wedding Party
Lily Ruklick
Maid of Honor
Lily, Grace's sister, is kind, caring, stylish, a number two on the Enneagram test and the best built in friend you could ask for. Grace and Lily bond over many shared passions including teaching, pool/beach days, seeking advice from one another and having Lily help Grace in all fashion related things. She is going to be an amazing maid of honor!
Margaret Dewey
Bridesmaid
Margaret has been Grace's life long friend since forever. They have experienced it all together. From elementary school, to high school, to college and into the adult world, Margaret has been there for Grace. She is a constant cheerleader, fun seeking and loyal best friend. Grace couldn't ask for a better person to stand by her as she gets married as well as do life with.
Emily Isaacs
Bridesmaid
This amazing women has been one of Grace's best friends since freshman year of college. After meeting at Mizzou, Grace and Emily hit it off instantly. They have laughed, eaten and explored all throughout their friendship. Emily is the greatest and Grace couldn't image her wedding without her.
Josh Hester
Best Man
Josh and I first bonded over our love of classic rock, something that remains nostolgic to both of us even today. As we grew up, our music tastes evolved too, with Josh getting into hip hop beats (no lyrics) and Swedish death metal. We really became best friends during college, when Josh switched into electrical engineering and we needed each other for moral support. From there, I quickly realized his loyalty and caring nature were extremely rare. He is the best type of friend anyone could ask for, and I'm proud to have him as my best man.
Bret Weise
Groomsman
We've known each other since kindergarten, but Bret and I hit our stride in high school when my sister drove us to school every day(until Bret got us kicked out of the car and we had to take the bus). He's the kind of friend that you only meet once in your life, the kind that you can talk to for hours no matter how long its been since you've seen each other. He enjoys the simple things in life, like carefully asking questions until he finds the button that will really piss you off, and then hitting that button as many times as possible. In all seriousness, Bret has always pushed me out of my comfort zone to be better, and I'm so happy that he's going to be there for me on my wedding day.
Justin Valdez
Groomsman
Justin and I started at P&G together, and immediately realized we were going to be best friends, based on our love of dark humor and drinking. Moving away from Missouri to Utah was difficult, and I wouldn't have made it through my first year without his friendship. He's proof that you can never stop making great friends in life, and is like the older brother I never had. Justin taught me a lot about life, like explaining in great detail how to brew beer, or showing me which crayons tasted the best. Gracie and I also learned so much about how to have a caring, beautiful marriage from Justin and his lovely wife Devon, and I can't imagine not having him up there with me on my wedding day.
CC and Charlotte O'Regan
Flower Girls
These two have been a part of Grace's life for such a long time! As neighbors, babysitters, and practically family we have watched them grow into lovely kids! We are so happy they will be part of the wedding with all their spunk and fun loving attitudes!
David and Matthew Bowling
Ring Bearers
David and Matthew are Grace's cousin's children. They are smart, energetic and always have something funny to say. Thank you David and Matthew for being part of our wedding!
