Wedding Party
Tori Whitman
Matron of Honor
Tori and Lexie grew up in the same neighborhood. It’s almost like they have always known each other. They were in the first and second grade together, but they really became best friends in high school. They sat at lunch freshman year and talked about how hot Jesse (her now husband) was. Even though they don’t live within walking distance anymore, their friendship is stronger than ever. Tori is not only Lexie’s best friend, but she has turned into family, and Lex can’t imagine life without her.
Austin Wildgrube
Best Man
Ian has known Austin since preschool. They have been best friends for as long as they can remember, and they were inseparable all through school up until leaving for college. Even though they didn’t talk every day after Ian was away at school, it was like they had talked yesterday whenever they saw each other. It's still that way today. They never seem to miss a beat with each other, and that’s how Ian knows Austin is his best friend and why he is one of Ian's two best men.
Alexis Clark
Maid of Honor
Like Tori, Lexi and Lexie met by living in the same neighborhood. Their moms are best friends and have been for as long as both of them can remember. Lexi has always stood by Lexie’s side and has been her sidekick since day one. When Lexie moved to Cape for school, they we were only sad for a few seconds because they knew no matter how far away they were, they would always be friends.
Adam Biehn
Best Man
Adam is Ian’s closest friend from college. They met through a mutual friend at SEMO, and they immediately hit it off. They did everything together, and I mean everything. Fishing was the thing they did the most, and Adam has taught Ian everything he now knows about fishing. Then they moved into the dorms together and got even closer. They both still live in Cape, and they hang out at least 2-3 times a week.
Hallee Hinds
Bridesmaid
Lexie and Hallee have been friends (forced, obviously) since birth. They were born five days apart in same room, which was weird since their moms were already friends. As little kids, they went to Mawmaw Sue’s house every day. They're the friends who can go weeks without talking, but when they're together, they don't miss a beat. Lexie says Hal's always been her smartest friend, the one she goes to with hard questions, even if she doesn’t want the truth.
Dakota Reckman
Groomsman
Ian and Dakota met at SEMO, and they lived in the same dorm for their first two years at school. Dakota was in their friend group and hung out with Adam, Brandon, Tyler and Ian. During school, they hung out almost every single day. He is one of the nicest people Ian has ever known, and Dakota would do anything for Ian and Lexie, which they will never take for granted! Dakota is a great friend that Ian knows will be around for a long time.
Abby Loveless
Bridesmaid
Lexie met Abby her freshmen year of college. They shared a dorm at SEMO and quickly bonded over their love of Star Wars, labs, and wine. She helped Lexie through some rough times at the beginning of college, and if it wasn’t for her, Lex might not have stayed at school. She is the kindest, goofiest, and lovable girl, and they have a friendship that will last a lifetime no matter what. 404 Towers North Forever.
Brandon Palovcsik
Groomsman
Brandon is the teddy bear of the friend group. Ian also met him at SEMO. He was friends with Adam already, and when he came to SEMO, he just joined the group. Brandon and Ian hung out all the time at school, but they got really close when he moved into Ian and Lexie’s house one summer. He became part of their daily lives, and they wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s like their adopted child!
Kylie Rice
Bridesmaid
Kylie and Lexie met in nursing school. Lexie knew they would be best friends when Kylie showed up to class with a black eye from a fight the night before. They helped each other each step of the way these past two stressful years. Lexie says she wouldn’t have made it through nursing school without her. Kylie is a pure soul and she makes life in Cape Girardeau feel more like home. She has quickly become one of Lexie’s closest friends, and she can always count on Kylie for anything.
Tyler Meyer
Groomsman
This guy is a character. Ian met Tyler toward the end of their time at SEMO. Tyler and Ian hit it off pretty much immediately. He was older than the rest of the group, so they joked about how he was their college dad, and he needed to head in early for work in the morning. They crack each other up all the time with their stupid corny--is it insensitive if we say "dad?"--jokes, and they will continue to do so for many years to come! Tyler helped complete their friend group in the end.
