Wedding Party
Myriah Mann
Maid of Honor
Myriah has been such a special part of our relationship from the very beginning. As Noah’s cousin and my Maid of Honor, she immediately made me feel welcomed, loved, and truly part of the family. She has a way of always making people feel seen and heard, and I am endlessly grateful for the friendship and bond we’ve built since the day we met.
Dylan Hollenkamp
Best Man
Dylan is not only my twin brother, but my built-in best friend since day one. We’ve been through everything together — fights, chaos, and apparently attempted murder when Dylan tried choking me out in grade school. Thankfully he’s matured since then… slightly. From childhood chaos to adult life, there’s nobody who knows me better. No matter where life takes us, Dylan will always be my brother and one of my best friends.
Ashlee Merryman
Bridesmaid
Ashlee has been by my side through so many seasons of life. From being my sorority little, my college best friend, to spending a summer interning together in Oklahoma, some of my favorite memories include her. I am endlessly grateful for her friendship, support, and the many years of memories we’ve shared together.
Justin Mann
Groomsman
Justin is the kind of guy who won’t let me drink alone… which sounds like a great quality until you realize he’s usually the reason we’re drinking in the first place. Never in a million years did I expect hanging out with my cousin Myriah would lead to gaining one of my closest friends. We might not always make the best decisions together, but those are the moments that turned into the best memories. Justin’s the kind of friend who always shows up, keeps things interesting, and somehow makes life a lot more fun along the way.
Morgan Hartung
Bridesmaid
Morgan is not only my future sister-in-law, but truly the sister I never had growing up. From Mexico trips to our girls’ nights and all the memories in between, she has become such an important part of my life. I truly couldn’t imagine anyone else by my side as my soon-to-be sister.
Lucas Hollenkamp
Groomsman
Lucas is my cousin, but honestly we grew up more like brothers. Most of our childhood was spent at Grandma and Grandpa Hollenkamp’s house working in the “Corn Factory”, hand-shelling corn so Lucas’ dad, Brad, could pay us about seven cents an hour and call it “character building.” We grew up side by side through all the chaos, laughs, and hard work, and I couldn’t imagine this day without him standing beside me.
Kortney McVey
Bridesmaid
Kortney has been part of our family for as long as I can remember, and I truly cannot imagine family life without her. She has always been someone who makes me feel understood, supported, and never alone — especially during the chaos of family gatherings. I am so grateful for the bond we share and for the way she has always made me feel so seen and loved.
Cody Jakel
Groomsman
Growing up with Lucas meant growing up with Cody too. What started as a few childhood friendships at Lucas’ place turned into a lifelong brotherhood. Whether it was causing problems, bad decisions, or pretending we knew what we were doing, Cody was always right there beside us… usually encouraging it. Through every stage of life, Cody has been the kind of friend you can always count on — loyal, dependable, and always there when it matters most.
Lindsey Ess
Bridesmaid
Even though Noah and I grew up only minutes apart, we went to different schools, so I didn’t know many of his friends when we first started dating. Lindsey immediately made me feel welcomed and included, and I have truly loved getting to know her over the past few years. Our friendship has always felt easy, like we’ve known each other forever.
John Koerkenmeier
Groomsman
John and I got a lot closer once John finally stopped playing with his sister’s dolls and decided to hang out with the guys. Since then, John’s turned into one of the funniest and most dependable people in my life. Whether it’s family gatherings, late-night talks, or giving each other a hard time, I’m lucky to call John not just a cousin, but one of my closest friends.
Kara Moore
Bridesmaid
Kara and I have been best friends since high school, and some of my favorite memories with her started at the horse farm where we met. From scooping horse manure and cleaning pools to spending an entire summer painting fences together, we’ve shared countless laughs and hard work over the years. We’ve also been by each other’s side through so many stages of life, and I am endlessly grateful for her friendship and support.
Connor Barton
Groomsman
Connor started as Lucas’ friend during the boy’s Friday night poker nights at the farm, but pretty quickly became one of the guys. He’s the type of friend who will always show up when you need him — especially if there’s disc golf involved. Connor is the kind of guy who would drop everything to help someone in need, and he proved that time and time again — especially when Megan and I lived in Champaign and he’d always make the trip to visit. Connor has the biggest heart and I’m so grateful to have someone like him in our corner.
Jack Henss
Usher
Jack will always be my baby brother, and despite our seven-year age difference, I have loved every moment of watching him grow up. Seeing him become the person he is today has been such a joy. His dedication and work ethic inspire me, and I admire the way he approaches life with determination and heart. I couldn’t be more proud of him, and having him be part of our wedding day means the world to us.
Jeffrey Linder
Usher
Jeffrey is my chosen brother, and our story has become one of my favorite examples of how life can surprise you. What started as two teenagers becoming best friends grew into something so much bigger. Through every season of life, he has always been my voice of reason. Then a few years ago, life added a twist none of us saw coming: our parents met and fell in love. Somehow, the world looked at my chosen brother and decided he was meant to become actual family. Having him in our wedding means more than words can say, and we’re so honored to have him serving as an usher on our special day.
Brandon Munie
Official Serenader
Brandon — our Official Serenader — is someone who can always put a smile on your face. He pours his heart and soul into everything he does, especially his music. What started as friends and family hanging out at the farm on July 3rd, 2023, quickly turned into the beginning of Brandon Munie Music. Watching him chase his passion while bringing people together has been incredible, and we couldn’t be more proud to have him perform our first dance. He’ll be joined by Kelly Perez, Dylan and I’s longtime babysitter, throughout the ceremony—making it even more special to have such meaningful people be part of our day.
Hannah Schmitz
Bride’s Something Blue
It’s amazing how quickly someone can become such an important part of your life. Although Hannah and I have only grown close over the past few months, her friendship has brought so much joy, support, and laughter during such a special season of my life. She has been there to celebrate the exciting moments, offer encouragement when I needed it most, and remind me of the kind of friend everyone hopes to have. Having Hannah as my something blue feels like the perfect way to honor not only a cherished wedding tradition but also a friendship that I’m incredibly grateful for. I can’t wait to have her by my side as we celebrate this next chapter.
