Wedding Party
Isabelle Michel
Maid of Honor
My younger sister and my built-in lifelong best friend. Izzy has the most infectious laugh and a heart of pure gold. She’s our family’s favorite (for very good reason) — never in trouble herself, but somehow always there to bail me out of mine. She’s steady, kind, and quietly keeps everyone around her grounded. She’s my go-to for advice, ideas, or honestly anything at all. Although she can be a little introverted, don’t let her calm presence fool you — this girl can do anything. She’s the real-life version of home ec class: Need sourdough? A handmade outfit? Advice on how to answer that text? A new profile picture? Izzy’s your girl. Even if she doesn’t know how to do something, she’ll figure it out. Just make sure she’s fed first… trust me, everyone will thank you later.
Brett Longtin
Best Man
My older brother and the guy I’ve looked up to my entire life. Brett is about as social as they come — he can talk to anyone about anything, but especially if it involves sports (which works out well since he works at Scheels). A lot of the things I love today are because of him. Some of my favorite memories growing up were our “campouts” in the living room, watching movies way too late and sleeping on the couch. He’s always had my back, and there’s no one I’d rather have standing next to me. If you need to find him, just look for the only guy on the dance floor with an espresso martini.
Faith Michel
Maid of Honor
My baby sister and real life mini-me. When we were little, she copied just about everything I did — and while it used to drive me crazy, now I can’t help but feel proud that she looked up to me like that. These days, I am now the one looking up to her. We’re so alike that we can go from disagreeing to laughing in a matter of seconds, but that’s what makes our relationship so special — we just get each other. Faith is pure sunshine and adventure. She’s the girl who’s always chasing the next adventure — from running in college to dreaming of living out of a van and exploring the world. She’s strong in her faith, grounded in kindness, and always up for a spontaneous hike or spike ball match. Basically, she’s unstoppable… unless it’s past 9 p.m., then all bets are off.
Lance Lehfeldt
Groomsman
Lance is my little brother and one of the quads, which pretty much explains everything. He’s always got something funny to say, and if you don’t believe me, ask Tanna about the ongoing list in her Notes app. He never seems to run out of energy and somehow manages to keep things interesting at all times. People like to call him my “mini-me” since he follows me around and does whatever I’m doing (and apparently we look alike). He’s into cars, bowling, and cruises — especially after experiencing one. Fair warning: if you get him started on cruise ships (especially the Icon of the Seas), he won’t stop.
Mckenna Scott
Matron of Honor
My older sister, my day one. A second mom and best friend rolled into one. Growing up, I was her little shadow — always trying to hang with the older kids, desperate to be included. As we’ve grown older, our closeness has evolved, but one thing has never changed: she’s someone I can always fall back on. No matter what, she’s there for me — usually with love, support, and a hit of a mom-style lecture. She recently become a mom to the sweetest baby boy, Noah. Watching her enter this new stage of life has been incredible. She’s strong, patient, and somehow makes it all look natural — even on little sleep. And although she can be full of surprises, one thing that will never change is that she will absolutely be running late, so make sure to give her a time that is 30 minutes earlier than necessary.
Keaton Lehfeldt
Groomsman
Keaton is another one of my younger brothers and one of the quads. He’s pretty quiet, but once you get him talking about something he likes, he could go on forever — and he’s always right… or at least he thinks he is. He’s into gaming, bowling, and ramen noodles, and takes all of them very seriously. He’s legally blind, which usually means Lance is his personal driver, but he never lets it slow him down. One of my favorite memories growing up was making him the seeker in hide-and-seek — it always took longer than planned, but it somehow made it funnier. Wouldn’t be the same without him.
Tanna Lehfeldt
Bridesmaid
Tanna is Jase’s sister, and our first interaction involved pulling off the ultimate surprise - flying me out for NYE without Jase's knowledge - and that’s how our friendship started. Since then, we’ve shared some great moments as our lives have intertwined more and more. Tanna is fun, confident, and always down for a good time. You may have even seen her on TikTok — she’s a bit of a star! Beyond that, she’s one of the kindest people I know, and it’s easy to see how much of an impact she’s had on Jase and everyone around her. She just recently became a mom to the most beautiful baby girl, and watching her step into that new chapter has been so special. However, Palmer has not slowed her down one bit, she still has that competitive edge, so don’t challenge her to a game of ping pong or corn hole unless you are ready to lose.
Sam Schomberg
Groomsman
Sam is Tanna’s boyfriend and if you have seen her tiktoks then you’ve definitely seen Sam too. They started dating just a few months before Grace and I got together, and I’m hoping that makes him my brother-in-law sooner rather than later. They have recently become parents to the sweetest baby girl and a role he’s stepped into with ease and a lot of pride. Palmer’s got him wrapped up around her little finger. When he’s not being a great dad, you can find him wherever the action is, ready to take a shot or challenge you to a shotgun. Just don’t try to outdrink him, trust me I’ve tried, that’s probably why a lot of our memories are a little blurry and usually end with a hangover. He’s a big fan of movies, especially Harry Potter, and an even bigger fan of having a good time.
Emily Newenhisen
Bridesmaid
I met Emily at the start of dental school, and she’s been my bestie and survival partner since. From anatomy study dates at Panera (powered by way too many charged lemonades) to countless late nights in pre-clinic, she’s been by my side through every meltdown, laugh, and last-minute project. Emily brings so much light and laughter. She’s quirky in the best way, always a little chaotic, and endlessly loyal. She’s the kind of friend who will agree with me before she even knows what I'm talking about — that’s how I know she’s my true ride or die. Although I'm surprised we get anything done, even with all the side stories and rant sessions.
Dalton Albrecht
Groomsman
Dalton and I have been best friends since elementary school, and we’ve pretty much been competing in something ever since. We played basketball together for years — which worked out great for me since he’s about a foot taller and actually good at it. That advantage didn’t help much when it came to high school math though, where I had to tutor him just to get him through. A lot of our best memories are the simple ones: countless hours of video games, talking about everything and nothing, and staying up way later than we should have. We also golfed a lot growing up, and while it was rarely close (he’s way better than me), it was always a good time. If you need proof, just ask about the trick shot videos.
Bridget Ferguson
Bridesmaid
Bridget is my childhood best friend — a friendship that may have been forced at first, but is now anything but. She’s truly like another sister to me, and yes that means we used to fight like sisters too. Growing up together we collected a lifetime of memories — from choreographed basement performances to dancing on tables at the bar, we’ve seen each other through every stage of life. Bridget is now always on the move, traveling the world and making me wish I was her…or at least that she’d take me with her. Even though we’re rarely in the same place, when we finally reunite it feels like no time has passed at all. We get along perfectly these days — unless a board game is involved, in which she will do whatever it takes to win.
Beau Feltman
Groomsman
Beau and I have been friends since elementary school, and if you put him next to Dalton, it’s easy to see why we call them the Twin Towers (no, they’re not actually twins). He’s just as tall and just as good at basketball, which made my life a lot easier when we were playing together. We share a lot of the same memories as I do with Dalton, the difference is I can actually beat Beau at golf. I tutored Beau as well, and one day he asked for help with what he claimed were “homework problems.” I walked him through the whole thing, only to find out after he turned it in that it was actually a test. Now he lives across the street from my mom, which makes hanging out way too easy when I’m back home. He also recently got engaged, and I can’t wait to return the favor and show up for his wedding.
