Wedding Party

Sarah Blecha

Maid of Honor

I am the younger sister of the bride and the more outgoing one of us. You can find me playing with my dogs, doing my hair and makeup for fun, or being a social butterfly when I’m not annoying Anna. I’m extremely involved in school, including the student council at the local and district level and in the marching band; so that gives her a little time away from me. Even though our personalities are on opposite sides of the spectrum, we have one of the closest relationships I have ever had and I wouldn’t trade her for the world.

Isaac Smith

Best Man

Hello everyone! I’m Isaac and I am currently a college sophomore pursuing a degree in Finance. I bet you’re wondering how I ended up a part of this Goss Darn Wedding! Honestly I’m stilling asking myself the same thing. I have known both Chase and Anna since high school but at the time I never really got to know either of them. It wasn’t until my first semester at college that I even started hanging out with Chase and then Anna not long after and I never would have expected these two to become such a big part of my life. It truly is a beautiful thing to see two of your best friends commit themselves to each other and I am honored to be a part of it.

Arianna Goss

Bridesmaid

I am part one of the meddling sister duo that is Sarah and Arianna. I'm into musicals, books, and tea parties; as is Anna. The only difference between us is that Chase actually likes her. Anna's great. She's a nerdy college girl who also happens to be "Time's person of the Year 2006". Chase is pretty cool... I guess...(Please know that I am obligated to include that in this snippet).

Clayton Reis

Groomsman

Chase and I grew up together in our hometown of Sainte Marie, IL. We went to school together from Kindergarten to our freshman year of college, as well as going to the same babysitter. Anna and I became close friends during the soccer season when Dave, Anna’s dad, was our coach (best team AND coach ever). When we got our licenses, we always went to lunch at our favorite spot, IGA, to get chicken tenders and potato wedges. All three of us were band geeks, from band practice to competitions throughout the season (go trumpets!). I was so happy when Chase FINALLY asked Anna out and knew they were perfect for each other. Now that I have been given the opportunity to stand by their sides on their big day, I couldn’t be happier for them and wish them the best as they make their dreams come true.

Savannah Chapman

Bridesmaid

I’m from a small town outside of the Quad Cities called Geneseo, Illinois and am pursuing a Bachelors in Business at William Woods University. Anna and I met through Alpha Phi, and quickly bonded through our experiences on the executive board. You could say that she was the Barack Obama to my Joe Biden. Anna and I were roommates for our Junior/Senior Years, and it was the best year of my life. If you can’t find me pestering Anna, you can find me doing something horse related, and then telling Anna all about it -mostly to annoy her.

Kaleb Lynch

Groomsman

Annie Dunn-Crouch

Bridesmaid

I am from California, therefore, making me the most exotic bridesmaid. I've traveled the western portion of our country with my family & am starting to explore the eastern half on my own. I'm persuing a B.S. in Equestrian Science at William Woods University. I met Anna at our university’s program for incoming students called Freshmen Advantage. Though she thought I was too cool for her at first (she was right I am too cool for her), she quickly realize that even free-spirited girls from California can like show tunes & the Dixie Chicks. After parting ways for the summer, we were reunited in August as freshmen & as Alpha Phis. We roomed together as sophomores & though I know she wanted to kill me half the time, I don’t think either of us could have imagined how close it would bring us.

Chase Williams

Groomsman

Howdy, my name is Chase and I am the other Chases' roommate and one of his groomsmen. Personally, I saw this wedding coming from a mile away. Anna and Chase are made for each other and you can tell just by spending a little time with them. I have known Chase for almost 10 years. When I moved to his hometown, Sainte Marie, he was the first friend I made and is still one of my best friends! Later on, he introduced me to the charming young lady and bride, Anna. I feel delighted to be a part one of the greatest memories they will ever have!
