Jennifer & Dustin
The Wedding Party
Alison Douds
Bridesmaid
Jennifer and Alison have been friends since...before junior high school. So for a long time! They were college roomies for a year and neighbors for a few more years after that. Jennifer went to Alison's house to hang out after her first date with Dustin, so Alison can say that she knew Jennifer and Dustin were dating before anyone else did.
Ashley Ross
Bridesmaid
Jennifer and Ashley have known each other since the 9th grade when they met up in high school. They spent way too much time together as they both participated in choir, show choir, and school musicals but after all of that they still wanted to hang out with each other outside of school!
Brianna Johnson
Bridesmaid
Jennifer and Brianna have known each other for about 8 and a half years now because that's how long Jennifer has been dating Brianna's brother, Dustin. Jennifer was honored in 2018 to be included in Brianna's bridal party and is excited that in 2020 Brianna can join in hers.
Brittany Bowles
Bridesmaid
Jennifer and Brittany met a few years ago when Jennifer became Brittany's coworker at Berlin Resort. After spending a lot of time together laughing and sharing stories at work they decided they should be friends outside of work too. When Jennifer found a ring in Dustin's office drawer (she was looking for a stamp, honestly!) she immediately called Brittany. (If you want to know this story, ask Jennifer)
Katie McCurdy
Bridesmaid
Jennifer and Katie met in the summer of 2001. Katie was playing outside, went into her house to use the restroom, and when she came back outside she had a new friend! (It's actually a cute story, ask one of them about it). Jennifer spent a lot of time at Katie's house after school, playing in the basement, not opening their pop cans all of the way, and making videos of themselves giving pretend interviews. Hmm, we wonder if Katie's parents still have that footage...
CJ Koller
Groomsman
Dustin and CJ have known each other since they were assigned as roommates their sophomore year of college. They thankfully got along well and even decided to move in together for a while off campus in the years following. CJ and Dustin also both worked in the dining hall that Jennifer and Alison worked in for a few years.
Jeremy Grove
Groomsman
Dustin and Jeremy met when they were small children in elementary school. Dustin fell into a mud puddle and Jeremy helped pull him out. Later they would find out that they were actually distant cousins. They aren't exactly sure the logistics of that. You would have to ask their moms...
Mark Johnson
Groomsman
Dustin and Mark knew each other from high school, but really got to know each other when Mark started dating Dustin's sister Brianna. Brianna and Mark were married in 2018 so Mark is now officially Dustin's brother in law!
MIke Holcomb
Groomsman
Dustin and Mike met in junior high school band. Dustin played the trombone while Mike played the saxophone. They bonded over their mutual fondness for pro wrestling, something Dustin's grandpa got him into, although they never agreed on who the best wrestler was.
Ryan Lehman
Groomsman
Ryan is Jennifer's older brother, so Dustin officially met him a short while after he and Jennifer started dating. Dustin and Ryan both enjoy finding local breweries that serve good beer, although often times they end up choosing different types.
