Wedding Party
Emily Alger
Maid of Honor
Emily and I were roommates our freshman year at MSU! We went from complete strangers to best friends very quickly. It felt like we had known each other our whole lives. We lived together all four years of college, went on a mission trip to Peru, and have so many more amazing memories together! Emily will forever be a part of my life and I am honored to have her stand next to me on my wedding day.
Jake Olson
Best Man
Jake and I were roommates our freshman year in Mankato. We had a lot in common which made us become best friends very quickly. It's crazy because I feel like I have known him my whole life. I think a lot of people forget that he is not from Chatfield because of how often he is around. He is a guy I trust and is always up for a new adventure. I am lucky to call him my best man.
Mariah Peterson
Bridesmaid
Mariah is my oldest sister! Growing up, she was one of my biggest role models and I continue to look up to her today. Last year, she became a mom and it has been an absolute honor watching her become the best mom to her daughter and my niece, Leighton. After standing next to her at her wedding, I can't believe it's already time for her to stand next to me!
Jake Mandt
Groomsman
Jake has been one of my best friends since we were 5 years old. Growing up and even to this day he is someone who always believes in me and gives me confidence. We are both hard workers which made us push each other to be our best in everything. I am extremely thankful for Jake's friendship.
MaKayla Paulson
Bridesmaid
MaKayla is my older sister and the one I shared a room with most of my childhood! Growing up, she was the one I could always turn to for anything, and this has remained true today. MaKayla is like a ray of sunshine, she lights up everyone and everywhere she goes. I am so blessed to have my built in best friend be there for me on the big day!
Sam Warren
Groomsman
Sam has always been one of my best friends through school and sports when we were young. He went to high school in Rochester and had a couple years of college in Texas, but we only became closer during these times. Growing up, Sam lived right across from Macy so when we started dating it gave me even more reason to hang out in the neighborhood. I am grateful to have Sam as a friend.
Britney Fretland
Bridesmaid
Britney is my childhood best friend! In middle and high school, we were inseparable. We did everything together and she truly became another sister to me. Britney has been with me through the lowest of lows and highest of highs, and I cannot imagine my wedding day without my childhood best friend by my side!
Austin Hines
Groomsman
Austin has been one of my best friends since elementary school. Growing up, he has taught me many things. Whether it was school, sports, or how to fix something, Austin was the guy who would help out and teach me. He continues to be someone I can count on and trust with anything.
Megan Gathje
Bridesmaid
Megan is the other half to my M Squared. We were in all the same sports and clubs growing up, and she quickly became one of my best friends and someone I could not live without! She is one of the kindest people I have ever met and I am so lucky to have Megan stand next to me on my wedding day!
Carter Fishbaugher
Groomsman
Carter grew up 2 houses down from me. He was always available to play me in 1 on 1 (even though he was a Wrestler) or run a million routes for me even on hot summer days. He is someone who has always had my back in any situation and a guy I know I can call anytime.
Abbi Gillespie
Bridesmaid
Abbi is Jacob's little sister, which means she will be my sister-in-law! Abbi was in 7th grade when Jacob and I started dating so this sister thing isn't anything new to us! Even though she is younger than me, she is a person I look up to. I am so lucky to have Abbi and I cannot imagine the big day without her!
Robert Crouch
Groomsman
Robert has been a great friend since elementary school. He is someone who will always show up and be there for support. In high school, I would break into his house every morning to wake him up (often not very nicely) and drag him to the weight room at 5am. He has lived across the country a couple different times now and is still probably the friend I talk to most often.
Ariel Horsman
Personal Attendant
Ariel and I grew up together and she was definitely my "partner in crime"! We both went to MSU and lived together our senior year in a house of six girls which was the best time ever! She is the friend that can make anyone laugh and will always have your back. I am so thankful for our friendship and I cannot imagine my big day without her!
Ryan Torkelson
Usher
Ryan is one of the best guys and hardest workers that I know. We met in college and were roommates our last 3 years. He helped keep our house under control and in order. When I had a question about something or needed some advice, Ryan was always the man with the answer. I am thankful to have Ryan as a part of our wedding.
Kennedy O'Connor
Personal Attendant
Kennedy has been my friend since elementary school and has a heart of gold! We have so many memories together and one of my favorite ones shows why she will make the best personal attendant! In ninth grade, I had to get a shot at school and she held my hand the entire time and was also right there with me when I had to lay down in the hallway afterwards because I thought I was going to pass out. She is simply amazing and I am so lucky to have her by my side!
Davontae Goldsmith
Usher
Devo has been one of my best friends since middle school. He stayed at my house many weekends and we had a lot of early morning workouts together. He is a positive person who brings laughter and a good time to any group.
