Wedding Party
Abby Graham
Maid of Honor
Abby was Max's first friend at Mizzou, and they haven't left each other's sides since. No, really. Max doesn't go longer than 8 hours without checking in. Thanks for being the sister Max never had, Ab!
Charlie Hanger
Best Man
In true older brother fashion, Charlie paved the way for Sam to avoid getting into trouble growing up, and was even there to watch out for Sam during their time at Mizzou and Delta Upsilon Fraternity. Thanks for taking one for the team, brother!
Ally Toberman
Matron of Honor
Ally has been by Max's side since '07, when the two would make weekend plans through AIM conversations and spend multiple days at each other's houses. Fun fact: Ally and Max hold the record for most consecutive hours of conspiracy theory videos watched in one sitting. In complete silence.
Danny Barger
Groomsman
Friends turned into family. What more could you ask for! Danny is Sam's go-to for concerts, weekend trips, and the occasional (OK, frequent) patio beers.
Mary Hoerner
Bridesmaid
Max knew Mary was going to be the perfect sister-in-law when 19-year-old Max asked Mary if she could use her ID to get into a bar, and Mary didn't hesitate. Thanks, sis!
Pat Waller
Groomsman
Although the two had bad blood in middle school due to being on opposing basketball teams, Sam and Pat were able to sort out their differences during their freshman year of high school and have been best buds ever since.
Haley Weilmuenster
Bridesmaid
Haley and Max won the high school senior superlative for "best friends forever"... It makes sense - they've been friends technically since birth. Yes, even during that weird Avril Lavigne phase in middle school.
Pete Fiore
Groomsman
Pete has been by Sam's side for most, if not all, of Sam's favorite memories of childhood. These two have a lot of funny stories about getting in trouble together as teenagers. We won't mention those stories here ;)
Noelle Eldin
Bridesmaid
Max knew Noelle was going to be a lifelong friend when they discovered their mutual love for America's Got Talent auditions and chicken tenders. These two are truly two peas in a pod.
Brandon Leveling
Groomsman
Brandon is Sam's go-to for all things fantasy football. When they aren't studying up on the latest NFL roster like it's a Finance 3000 exam, you can catch them at Shooter's on NFL Sunday watching all of their hard work pay off.
Anna Hanger
Bridesmaid
Anna is Max's go-to for netflix show suggestions and favorite DJ for the infamous Hanger Thanksgiving. Max hit the jackpot with this soon-to-be sister-in-law!
Adam Hoerner
Groomsman
Sam and Adam became friends during their early teenage years, when they would meet up for a quick football scrimmage in the nearest empty lot. Teenage Adam was a little weirded out when Sam wanted to ask Adam's sister on a date, but hey, it all worked out!
Lauren Crean
Bridesmaid
Max and Lauren can be seen sipping on their favorite Prosecco drink, while blaring The Cranberries Spotify station on repeat. (Also, Max shamelessly asked Lauren if she could use her ID on the same night that Max ended up using Mary's ID, and now both Mary and Lauren are Max's sisters-in-law! Also, also, 19-year-old Max, chill.)
Dylan Lillis
Groomsman
Sam's favorite way to spend a Saturday morning is with a golf outing with his best bud, Dylan. If it wasn't for Dylan's basement throughout Sam and Max's teenage years, their favorite memories and stories would be nonexistent. Thanks, Dyl!!
Shannon Byrne
Bridesmaid
Max's favorite person to rave about. Shannon and Max's favorite pastime is watching vine videos from 2012 and bonding over One Direction. Still waiting on that One Direction Reunion Tour announcement. Right, Shan?!
Andrew Hoerner
Groomsman
Sam and Andrew bond over their shared love for a nice glass of whiskey, live music, and relaxing poolside on a Sunday afternoon. If these two go missing, you're most likely to find them at the nearest brewery quoting lines from random comedies.
Ali Lillis
Bridesmaid
Ali is Max's right-hand lady for wine nights, couple trips, and of course, all things brunch. No joke - these girls love a good brunch.
Max Hammel
Groomsman
Sam and Max have been friends since the infamous Sonic meet-up days, which, if you don't know, is a super long time. When they aren't going over the spread for the next sporting event, you can find these two playing pool basketball for hours on end.
Priya LaVercombe
Bridesmaid
When Max and Priya aren't bouncing around town together on a Saturday afternoon, they're probably trying to master the latest TikTok dance... and failing... miserably...
Matt Redman
Groomsman
Matt was one of Sam's first friends at Mizzou. If Sam and Matt can survive East Campus-living and the old Delta Upsilon house at Mizzou together, they can survive anything.
Tom Mabry
Usher
Sam and Tom became friends in their early teenage years, and have remained close ever since. Although Sam will never admit it, he made sure to root for Tom and KU football (as long as they weren't playing Mizzou - MIZ!)
Brian Haida
Usher
Sam and Brian became good friends when the two lived dangerously close to each other in Soulard for a handful of years. They have spent lots of Saturday nights closing down the local bars and Sunday afternoons watching hours of NFL games.
Raeann Hoerner
Flower Girl
Rae is Max and Sam's absolute favorite person on this planet. Seriously. Max and Sam are smiling like idiots while typing this.
