Wedding Party
Connor Nicole Miller
Maid of Honor
FUN FACT Connor is a human encyclopedia. She is who you’d want on your trivia team. We’re not sure how she does it, but it’s impressive. She is also the only person to spend her whole life with Olivia, as her sister, up until this point (also impressive). Wise, goofy and a huge influence on Olivia’s life — sisters by nature, best friends at heart.
Morgan Bell
Matron of Honor
FUN FACT "Dare to be real," was Morgan's senior year quote in our high school yearbook. And to this day she's continues to be the realest. She’s the best friend you need in your life. From sharing memories as roommates to frequent ER flyer to accompany Olivia on her three consecutive wrist breaks snowboarding, and all the milestones over the last ten years, Morgan is and will always be the realest.
Hannah Busch
Bridesmaid
FUN FACT Freshman year of college, Hannah and Olivia were on the same dorm floor and quickly became besties. They shared a room their Junior and Senior year of college at PLNU, one of which was through COVID. Needless to say, the bond is truly unmatched. No distance could make it weaker, just stronger. Olivia would not be who she is without Hannah!
Ashlee Powell
Bridesmaid
FUN FACT Ashlee can tear it up around a race track (driving stick) just like she can the dance floor. She is so kind, funny and such a huge bonus to marrying Jacob. Olivia always wanted another sister!
Hannah-Rae Ahlquist
Bridesmaid
FUN FACT Hannah-Rae was the first-person Olivia met at PLNU and also her first college friend. Hannah Rae and Olivia bonded even more the semester everyone else left to study abroad and thank God for that. She’s the spontaneous friend that matches Olivia and is always down to dance without an occasion.
Karli Wise
Bridesmaid
FUN FACT Karli taught Olivia to wake surf. They've even done it on the same board together. Karli is the friend who will always listen, and tell you what you need to hear. She’s bold and you can count on her saying what everyone is thinking. So grateful for Karlos!
Shawni Brooks
Bridesmaid
FUN FACT Olivia and Shawni have run over 50 miles in Mammoth during one week together, because why not. They’ve been bonded for years over their love for fitness, fashion and Jesus. She is a western fashionista and Run Club enthusiast. Also, tacos, LOVES tacos.
Jessie Kindorf
Bridesmaid
FUN FACT Jessie's the kind of friend that points you to Jesus in all your high and low moments. She is also the friend Olivia enjoys drinking the most with. She’s a river rat, a country music queen, has the biggest heart and is always down for anything. She was once a roommate, now a forever friend <3
Linsey Urrea
Bridesmaid
FUN FACT Linsey can pull off a mini sumo wrestler costume like no one else. She also has the voice of an angel, and you can stream her music on all listening platforms. And most importantly, Linsey loves her people so well.
Caroline VanMatre
Bridesmaid
FUN FACT Caroline WILL make sure you have a good time, she's loyal like that. It’s been ten years and she still brings the fun, spunk and energy at every occasion. Distance doesn’t matter, the friendship is bigger than it!
Chase Jackson
Best Man
FUN FACT A brother from another mother! Former teammate, lane buddy, roommate, and the groom’s MAIN SQUEEZE. Chase is the man you can always count on to show up no matter what. Expect him to have a permanent residency of the dance floor.
Drew Happe
Groomsman
FUN FACT Ball state run club alumni. Drew is a large reason Jacob moved to Louisville and is a ride or die. Drew IS the life of the party, if we are lucky he’ll bust out the schitzlebak the wedding weekend.
Chase Krieger
Groomsman
FUN FACT Landlord, board game expert, fishing fanatic, and ladies… he’s single.
Josh Oliver
Groomsman
FUN FACT Jacob has trusted his life in Josh’s hands more than one can count. He is the best backcountry touring partner and guide to all things in the mountains and rivers. Meet Josh!
Milan Mena
Groomsman
FUN FACT A classic “Milan & Jacob mess around” are things of legend. Roommate and certified silly goose. Let it be known: he’s been quoted saying “I hate skiing” on at least one occasion.
Matt Evans
Groomsman
FUN FACT If it weren’t for Matt, Jacob’s life would be drastically different in more ways than one can count. Matt’s been a friend for 14 years and definitely another 30, minimum! Matt loves fishing, the cubs, and saying “Boiler up!”
Aaron Powell
Groomsman
FUN FACT Aaron loves people like no other. Jacob’s little brother, and if you get the chance to talk with him you’ll see his passion for people runs DEEP.
Adam Lampert
Groomsman
FUN FACT Rafting buddy and rowing sensai. Adam and Jacob have experienced all levels of emotion, from breaking down in the middle of Browning, to catching 30-inch bulls on the Elk River. Grateful for a friend like Adam!
Erik (Gru) Gruen
Groomsman
FUN FACT Some call him Erik, some call him Gru, others call him pookie. Distance makes the heart grow stronger.
Eric (Kuz) Kuzner
Groomsman
FUN FACT If Jacob were ever in a bar fight, Kuz is the one man he would want to have his back. We can’t confirm or deny he’s a secret agent, but one thing is for sure, he’s a man of many talents. The odds are low, but not zero — that he will be practicing his duck calls at some point the wedding weekend.
