Wedding Party
Ashlyn Bideganeta
Maid of Honor
Sister, Maid of Honor, advice giver and the one I look up to. She is my best friend and the one who I can talk to about anything and everything, who I can be a mermaid with in McCall, who I can laugh with, cry with and pray with. The one who made me Aunty Bug and who understands me better than anyone because she is the closest thing to me. My rock and my big sister who I love so very much. I would not want anyone else standing next to me on my special day.
Jack Strickland
Best Man
Known Jack for nearly 15 years now, he has been not only an extremely loyal friend to me but a huge supporter of Haley and I. Jack is someone who has been through hard times and great times and has always remained a constant. He makes everything more fun and can never cease to put a smile on peoples faces. I look forward to having him there on this special day to celebrate with us!
Andrea Gooding
Bridesmaid
My soul sister, partner in crime, road trip buddy, secret keeper and my oldest most dearest friend. I could not imagine getting married without this girl by my side. She is always there no matter what and I know that I can count on her for anything - love, advice, an adventure or when there is a crisis. She puts in the work and genuinely cares for all aspects of my life and has helped so much with not only this wedding but everything in between. Both Keynan and I are grateful to have her in our lives. Thankful is an insufficient word. Andy, I love you more than words can say.
Karsten Olson
Groomsman
Karsten is one of my oldest and closest friends! We first met in 3rd and 4th grade at Concordia. Karsten and I have had some amazing times growing up together. The Olson home was always a home away from home for me and I can't even count the number of days I used to stay over at his house during the school years. We are still running around together trying not to take life too seriously today, we are very glad he will be here with us.
Jade Pool
Bridesmaid
My spunkiest friend whom I have known since the fifth grade. This girl tells it like it is and I can tell her anything. She is a fighter who will fight for the people she loves. From birthday parties, high school softball, to learning our 20's together I know that we can make it through anything and that there will be many more memories made throughout the years as our friendship continues to grow old. I am so thankful that I was able to stand by her on her wedding day and to have her stand by me on mine. I love you forever, Jader!
Kyle McLaughlin
Groomsman
Kyle is another one of my oldest and closest friends from Concordia days. I can remember Kyle and I constantly competing and playing sports, whether we were playing baseball, basketball, madden, or making up games around the house like chipping in the yard, we were trying to egg each-other on and best the other. Our same level competition has not quite continued to this day, but we have remained close since the beginning and we are excited to have Kyle and his family with us.
Samantha Turner
Bridesmaid
My truest college friend. The one who introduced me to my fiance. My roommate and dance partner. The one who I have partied with, laughed with and shared many special memories with. Your calm and effortless spirit is the antidote to my crazy. This girl is loyal, honest and the most easy going person I know. I joke that she will live to be 110 haha. No matter the distance between us or the years that pass by we remain to be in each others lives and I know that she is here to stay. I am so very thankful the Lord brought you into my life. Thank you for making the trip down to Idaho to be with me on this day. I love you, wifey!
Andrew Wolf
Groomsman
Andrew is another staple as one of my oldest and closest fiends. The Wolf's house was another open door policy, we were constantly spending night and weekends there, playing basketball constantly, and being kids. Throughout elementary, high school, college, post college, his marriage and now ours, we have always stayed close. We are happy to have him and his with us for this day.
Monica Mulder
Bridesmaid
Okay, talk about loyal, funny and truthful. I can always expect these things from Monica. She was Andrea's truest college friend and because of that I was lucky enough to get to know her, as well. I quickly learned that she was someone I could count on and I knew that our friendship would continue to grow. She shows up when I need her and will tell me the truth even when I don't want to hear it but need to. Everyone needs a friend like that in their corner and I am beyond grateful to have her in mine. Thank you for standing next to my on my wedding day, M. I love you, friend.
Micah Spatz
Groomsman
Micah and I became very close during my time in Nampa at NNU. We first met through some mutual friends and became fast friends, and eventually roommates. Micah showed me quite a bit of what Idaho life has to offer, and I have always admired his adventurous spirit. He has also been a part of most of Haley and I's relationship from the beginning and we have shared many memories spending time together.
Kelsey Kramer
Bridesmaid
My newest friend who has quickly become such a special person in my life. Kels is beautiful, strong and loves so deeply. She is my design connoisseur, listener and support system. It is wild to think that we have only known each other for a few years because she plays a big part of my every day life now and I couldn't be more grateful. To think of how much closer we have become just this year tells me that our friendship will only become closer as time goes on. It was a no brainer that I wanted to have her stand next to me come this special day! Helen loves you, Katrina!
Craig Paulsen
Father of the Bride
I owe quite a bit to Craig, considering he brought my soon to be wife into this world. Craig has always accepted me and treated me with nothing but respect from the first time I met him. Craig is the quintessential provider for his girls and it is something I aspire to bring to Haley and I's family in the future.
Jamie Paulsen
Mother of the Bride
I could cry happy, emotional tears before I even begin. My momma and my best friend. She has shown me what unconditional love looks like and how to love like Jesus does. She brings joy to everyone and everything while also being the strongest woman I know. My mom is selfless, kind, funny, beautiful, brave, protective and goofy. She is one of my biggest supporters and my favorite phone call. She has taught me so many of life's little lessons like making sure I know to write a thank you card, wish someone a happy birthday, to let my clothes soak in spray and wash + oxi clean, to speak up but also to remain silent when needed. The saying "Mom knows best" could not be more accurate - my mom does know best. She is the very best and I love her beyond measure. I am so thankful for the life that both her and my Dad gave to my sister and I and the example that they showed us of what marriage looks like - being each others best friend, loving each other no matter what, laughing together, traveling together and supporting their families together. I struck gold with both my Mom and Dad and love them with every part of me.
Scott Schimming
Father of the Groom
Scott and I had a very unique relationship to begin with, and I don't think I could say I would be the person I am without his impact on my life. He has taken extremely good care of my mom and acted as a father to me since he came into my life. Scott has always tried to influence my life in a positive way and he has helped support me in many ways. Very proud to have him as part of my family and I know how much he supports Haley and I.
Heidi Fanslow
Mother of the Groom
I will forever be grateful to this woman for the man that she raised. She is the best mom to Keynan - supportive, always there, always willing to help with whatever is needed and it does not go unnoticed. I am blessed to be gaining her as a mother-in-law.
Ethan
Ring Bearer
Son of Keynan's cousin Hannah Fanslow, we are proud to have a member of the next Fanslow generation part of our special day.
Lylah & Ava Bideganeta
Flower Girls
These girls hold such a special place in my heart. They both are kind, funny, smart and so very lovable. Fun fact: Lylah was born the year I graduated high school - my first born niece. Ava was born the year I graduated college - my second born niece and the perfect addition. With all of the babysitting, sleepovers, school pickups, sports games and school concerts, we have many special memories and SO many precious talks. They are my tiny best friends and will always be even when they grow bigger. Aunty Bug loves you girls!
