Wedding Party
Amanda Kimmick Shore
Matron of Honor
Amanda is Jenn's younger sister and very first best friend. For as long as she can remember, Jenn has always admired her younger sister for her kindness, strength, independence and creativity. Amanda and Jenn share a love for many things including cats (any and all animals actually), organizing absolutely everything, a desire to stay active and the bond they have with their brothers. Jenn couldn't have asked for a better built-in-bestie to go through all of life's seasons with and is so honored to have Amanda stand with her on her wedding day.
Jill Kimmick
Matron of Honor
Jill is Jenn's Sister-in-Law. They have been two peas in a pod since her older brother, David, first brought Jill into their lives. Jill is a total boss lady (helping run her family business), a competitive pickle-baller, the most genuine person Jenn has ever known and the life of every party! Jenn and Jill naturally provide encouragement and support in everything one another does. Completing a tough work out, nailing a water sport trick, trying out a new look, having a tough conversation and everything in between, Jenn knows she can count on Jill to be her biggest cheerleader. Jenn feels incredibly lucky to have her Soul Sister stand with her!
Max Malnack
Best Man
Ian met Max at The University of Nebraska Omaha. By random draw, Max was his freshman year college roommate. Having not known a single person in Omaha, Max, an Omaha native, showed Ian around town and welcomed Ian into his friend group. Max and Ian share many similar interests and spent a lot of their time together playing basketball, watching football and attending UNO hockey games. Max can brighten any room he walks into with his great sense of humor and is one of the kindest people Ian has known. Ian couldn't picture this special day without Max by his side.
Joel Burkholder
Groomsman
Ian and Joel met while playing basketball at UNO. They quickly and easily became great friends and decided to finish their next three years of college as roommates. Since their time at UNO, Joel has been great at keeping in touch with their group of friends. As the six guys in their chosen family all live in different states, Joel likes to set up virtual poker games to keep up with what's new and share old laughs. Ian appreciates Joel for being the friend who will tell him how it is and always offers an open ear.
Allison Greenlief
Officiant
Jenn met Alli when she took a brief break from flying and worked for Stat MedEvac. Their friendship was instant as they shared many laughs while Alli trained Jenn for her new position. Working side by side for 12 hour days, 7 days a week, you really get to know someone! Alli and Jenn realized they have been living parallel lives. They played volleyball throughout grade school, their first job was at Dairy Queen, both got involved in aviation straight out of high school - Alli was in the Air Force while Jenn was in flight school - and several more similarities in their timelines. They knew they would be lifelong friends. During some work shifts, at wee hours in the morning, Jenn and Alli would imagine what their retired life would look like. It mostly involved drinking martinis, playing a lot of cards and causing trouble together. Jenn has no regrets from her time away from the flight deck as it led her to her very best friend. Alli is an amazing dog mom to her two senior babies, hard-working and intelligent and is unthinkably selfless. Alli naturally cares for and always puts the needs of those she loves in front of her own. Jenn and Ian are honored to be married by such an exceptional friend.
