Shanna & Jeff
Wedding Party
Shelley Kettmann
Bridesmaid
Shanna and Shelley have been friends for over 16 years! They have been through everything together: from junior high to college, through thick and thin and everything in between. Shelley was right there when Shanna and Jeff first met - in fact this photo is Shanna and Jeff's first picture together! Shanna's big day would not be complete without Shelley by her side!
Lisa Saxon
Bridesmaid
Lisa and Shanna met their first days at Loras College, and they bonded instantly over their hate of mandatory Launch Into Loras events. From then on they were inseparable. After one particular trip to the doctor, their nicknames for each other became "Baby Girl," and it has stuck ever since. Shanna is so happy to have her Baby Girl by her side!
Jessica Wall
Bridesmaid
Jessica is technically Shanna's cousin, but she seems more like a sister! As kids we were together almost every day. They have so many great memories on family vacations, in their modeling club and countless days on the farm exploring! Shanna's wedding would not be the same without Jessica!
Derek Olberding
Groomsman
Derek was Jeff's freshman year roommate at Loras College. It was in their dorm room that Shanna and Jeff first met. They were friends all through school and after graduation. As Jeff likes to say, Derek missed Jeff so much he let him move in with him. Jeff lived with Derek for 3 years in Dubuque, Iowa. Thank you to Derek for letting Jeff sit next to Shanna at Texas Roadhouse when Shanna came to visit, which led them to getting together. Jeff is excited to have Derek share in their special day!
Casey Kettmann
Groomsman
Casey and Jeff met at Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa. Jeff was with Casey the night he met his future wife Shelley after a late night game of Scattergories. Casey returned the favor by being a great friend for Jeff during his time dating Shanna. Jeff is excited to have Casey be by his side on their wedding day!
Carl Saxon
Groomsman
Carl did not go to Loras College, but he was always there visiting his future wife Lisa. He quickly became good friends with Shanna and later on Jeff. One of the first times Jeff hung out with Carl was the special night, sophmore year where Jeff and Shanna both realized they had feelings for each other. Carl has been a great friend from that time on and Jeff is so grateful for Carl to be alongside Shanna and Jeff on their wedding day!
Ellis Cox
Junior Bridesmaid
Ellis is Jeff's niece. Ellis is the one in Jeff's family that has good rhythm, and you will probably see her tearing up the dance floor. Shanna and Jeff are so happy that she will be apart of their big day!
Emery Cox
Flower Girl
Emery is also Jeff's niece and Ellis's sister. Emery is the one that likes to put Jeff in his place and make sure he behaves. Pretty sure she likes Shanna better of the two of us, but lets be honest, doesn't everyone? Shanna and Jeff are very happy she will be apart of our special day!
Everett Prendergast
Ring Bearer
Everett is Jeff's nephew. Everett loves all sports, but be careful if you play with him - he somehow always seems to win! Especially when he plays uncle Jeff! We are happy to have him apart of our big day!
