Wedding Party
Jesse Spain
Best Man
Jesse and I played a lot of croquet together in the front lawn of the high school and drank a lot of big gulps. Also, I am 100% confident we can quote every line to the movie dazed n confused. I am honored to have him as a best man.
Mikaela Caldera
Matron of Honor
Sure, she may still be recovering from the endless pranks I played on her growing up, but I'm so happy to have my little sis by my side on this special day!
Joey Bartels
Groomsman
Joey is a lifelong fried from Maquoketa. We played every sport together growing up and shared a lot of good times together during school and as adults. Joey introduced me to the "Word of Mouf" CD by Ludacris as sophomores in high school so I am forever grateful for that. #luda
Trina George
Matron of Honor
There's only one way to make sure this wedding is QC VIP- TRINA aka the baddest bi... bridesmaid /MOH! Good thing we will have plenty of firefighters on hand because she's going to set the dancefloor on fire.
Ryan Haxmaier
Groomsman
Ryan was a coworker of mine at Clinton Fire. We also were roommates for five years and he was the best roommate you could ask for. I'm thrilled to have him in my wedding. And if you see him at the wedding, please ask him about the one time he drove my Jeep home.
Angela Ortman
Bridesmaid
I befriended Angela in Cedar Rapids and tricked her into moving to Nashville so that her commute to this wedding would be more convenient. Hope it was worth it!
Derek Reisner
Groomsman
Derek is married to my sister Erin. He's been a great brother in law and an even better father and husband to Erin and their kids. Derek even pretends to be a packer fan just to fit in with my family (what a trooper).
Bridgett Finstad
Bridesmaid
My beloved college roomie for life! Bridgett will personally be responsible for making sure I don't burn my hair, and bust out the crab pinchers if any of the vendors try to cause problems on the big day.
Cole Peeveler
Groomsman
Cole is married to my sister Amber. He is a saint of a dude and we are grateful to have him as part of the family. If you can't find Cole at the wedding, just look for the guy who's dancing like it's an EDM concert.
Mindye Johnson
Bridesmaid
My beloved Iowa City roomie who kept me sane during those stressful years in the Crapids... She also comes as part of a BOGO bridesmaid special & will be rocking an adorable baby bump on the big day!
Andy Schauf
Groomsman
Andy is married to my sister Courtney. I've known Andy since we were kids in Maquoketa playing basketball together and driving golf carts around the neighborhood. Please be nice to Andy at the wedding, he's a bears fan so we all know he's had a rough life.
Amber Peevler
Bridesmaid
There's nobody better suited to keep this wedding party in line than my chiropractor/future sister-in-law Amber!
Tyler Manternacht
Groomsman
Tyler was a coworker of mine at Marion Fire. We developed a great friendship after he started coming to me frequently looking for fantasy football advice. Tyler is a great friend and a terrible Connect Four player.
Erin Reisner
Bridesmaid
As a hand therapist & mother of 2, I know I can count on Erin, my future sister-in-law, to lend a helping hand on the big day!
Jarred Cordes
Groomsman
Jared has been a good friend since I first met him when I moved to Cedar Rapids. He is also not very good at Connect 4 but is still a hell of a guy.
Courtney Schauf
Bridesmaid
How anyone could survive an entire childhood with James as a big brother is beyond me. As a teacher & mother of 3 (yes, I'm including Andy in that count) she does it all, and I'm honored to have her by my side!
