Haley & Derek
Wedding Party
Karlee Palmer
Matron of Honor
They say you can't choose your family, but I think I did a pretty good Job when I met Karlee at a bonfire. We met Karlee through her now husband, Ben. Karlee is the friend that came later in life, we didn't get to be kids together, but we got to grow up-together exactly the way we needed to at the time. She has literally been my rock through thick and thin. I am so thankful for her guidance when it comes to all things electronics, and her ability to always figure every situation out. Not to mention her bubbly personality. I am so grateful to have her standing beside me as my matron of honor and my best friend.
Kathryn Puzevic
Maid of Honor
Kathryn is the grooms younger sister, therefore Derek has known Kathryn her entire life. Haley got the pleasure of meeting Kathryn way back when she was 15 years old. Watching Kathryn grow up has been one of our favorite things. Kathryn lights up every room. She is the life of the party and always down to have a good time. Kathryn is one of the most caring and compassionate people we know. She is going to give everything she does her all. We are so lucky to have her as a sister, and I am so happy to have her standing right next to me on the wedding day.
Chelsea Saunders
Bridesmaid
Chelsea is one of Haley's longest friends. We met way back in high school. Chelsea and Haley became close when they got their first high school job together at the local subway. There are way too many memories we share to even start a list. Chelsea is my person, she has the sweetest soul and the kindest heart. I am so thankful for Chelsea's friendship. We don't see each other as often as we would like, but when we do get together we pick right back up where we left off like there was never any time that has passed. I couldn't imagine my wedding day without Chelsea standing next to me.
Lindsey Fisk
Bridesmaid
Derek and Haley met Lindsey through Haley's work. Lindsey's husband Mike is a technician at the shop Haley works for. We have all been good friends ever since we met. All four of us got to go on a work trip to myrtle beach where we had the best time with way too many laughs. Lindsey is one of my closest friends. Lindsey is the biggest giver and has the biggest heart. Lindsey would literally go without if it meant your dreams were coming true. I can't ever see my life without Lindsey has one of my best friends. I can't wait to have her standing next to me as we say yes to forever.
Sarah Dixon
Bridesmaid
You can't pick your sister in laws but I couldn't have picked a better one. Sarah is the wife of Haley's brother Jake. She has the best patience of anyone I have ever met, she is a saint when it comes to dealing with Jake, LOL. No but seriously Sarah has the most patient and understanding heart there is. Sarah isn't new to the picture as her and Jake were friends far before they started dating. Sarah is the best mom to Gunner and soon to be Lela. We are so thankful to have her in our lives and to stand next to us on the day of our wedding.
Aubrey Boyer
Bridesmaid
Aubrey is one of a kind. She is a cousin to Haley but more like a niece. She is the oldest of the younger cousins. Aubrey is the oldest of five siblings. She loves all things trending and a good Starbucks drink. We love to hang out with Aubrey. She keeps us in the know of what is cool and not cool now a-days. Watching Aubrey grow into the beautiful young lady she is has been one of the best things. She cares for everyone around her and is always there to help with the younger kids. We are so happy to have her in our lives and to have her standing next to us on the day we say I do.
Jed Wolthuis
Best Man
Jed and Derek have been friends for a very long time. Jed and Derek have so many memories together. The two spending every snow day together, along with many family vacations. Everyone can always count on Jed for a laugh, oh and some tunes. Whether he is tearing up the dance floor or dragging around his 3 foot speaker box. He has been Derek's partner in crime through every stage of life. We couldn't imagine our special day without him.
Ben Palmer
Groomsman
Derek and Ben are inseparable. One does something the other one is right there to do it. Derek and Ben went to high school together although they were not close friends in high school they knew each other. Their friendship became close after high school and the loss of their close friend Riley. We like to joke that Derek and Ben are actually the ones getting married. Ben is the target of everyone's jokes, he also is an arctic cat man if you couldn't guess that's why he is the target of everyone's jokes. In all seriousness, Ben is the best friend everyone needs always there to lend a helping hand and make everyone laugh. We couldn't imagine our life and wedding day without him.
Brett Piche
Groomsman
Brett is one of a kind. Everyone that knows Brett loves him. Brett is always down for a good time. Some of our best memories with Brett is our many trips to silver lake. Brett always kept you on your toes at silver lake, and knows how to make a XJ fly. Brett could've been sponsored in a jeep commercial with his XJ. We are so thankful to have Brett in our lives and are so happy to have him standing next to us on our wedding day.
Logan King
Groomsman
Although Haley has known Logan for his entire life, Derek and Logan became friends later in high school. Logan is everyone's go to for medical advice. We call Logan when we question if we need stitches or if we should be seen by a doctor. We call Logan for the logical answer. We are very thankful to have Logan as a friend. We also have became good friends with Logans wife. We all, Ben, Karlee, Jake and Sarah included took a friend's trip to Florida. Logan had an interview for a new job shortly after we got back. Logan ended up going to said interview with a gouge in his forehead from the side of the pool. We constantly laugh about that trip. We are very happy to have Logan standing next to us on our wedding day.
Jake Dixon
Groomsman
Jake is Haley's younger brother. Haley actually met Derek through Jake. Jake and Derek have been friends since shortly after Jake graduated from high school. When Derek and Haley first started hanging out before they were dating Derek used to tell his family his was going to hang out with Jake so he could go see Haley. Derek was Jake's best man in his wedding. Jake and Derek like to do a lot of stuff together. Whether it be mowing grass, fishing or golfing. It used to be snowmobiling but Jake sold his snowmobile. Which Derek likes to remind him how dumb of an idea that was. We couldn't imagine our wedding day without Jake standing up next to us.
River Hyatt
Groomsman
River has always been part of the friend group. Derek and River became really close when River went to work for Derek. They have had many good times together during work and outside of work. River is always down for a good time. River is always there to lend a helping hand. We are so thankful for river. River will give you the shirt off his back even if it meant he went without. We are so happy to have River standing next to us when we say Yes to forever.
Celia Berg
Something Blue
Celia and Haley's friendship is a little bit different than normal. Haley met Celia through a parts vendor at work. Celia was the salesperson that answered the phone that day. Haley ended up purchasing a unit from Celia and she sent a thank you note to the shop. In that thank you note Celia gave her personal cell phone number and the rest is history. Celia and Haley started texting and we became such good friends. I never thought I could have a long distance best friend but I do. Celia lights up everyone room and is the life of the party. I am so thankful to have a friend like her. We don't get to see her often but when we do we have a lot of fun and the goodbyes are always hard. I couldn't imagine getting married with out her there.
