Wedding Party

Sarah Jones

Bride

Tom Shaha

Groom

Susie Hardy

Matron of Honor

Susie and I met in 2017 at church, and she has been a guiding light to me over the past almost 9 years. I couldn't imagine going through this process without her by my side. She and I have shared so many laughs and she has stuck with me through the good and bad times life has thrown my way. I love her 4 amazing children like they were my own and cherish every moment spent with her and her beautiful family. Life is sweeter with such an amazing person to enjoy it with!

Zach Shaha

Best Man

Zach is my older brother. For a lot of our childhood we got along, but butted heads because he was a good kid and I was more of a rebel child. Once I graduated high school and matured enough to realize that I was being a little shit, we started getting along a lot better and now go to concerts, golf, and eat sushi together whenever we have a chance.

Allie Ethridge

Bridesmaid

Several years ago my friend Bailey referred me to Prism Salon for a haircut and color. The stunning and wonderful owner and stylist Allie quickly became the only person I trust when it comes to my hair. Over that year Allie, Bailey and I started having girls nights and Allie became someone I value so incredibly much in my life. She supports me so much and is always available when I need a chat. I couldn’t imagine not having her by my side on my wedding day.

Christian Bomar

Groomsman

I met Bomar when he moved to our high school from California. In high school we mostly hung out during lunch period playing yugioh, but now hang out a bit more and play video games, airsoft, and Catan.

Bailey Hartung

Bridesmaid

Bailey and I met while working together at LHI back in 2017. We started getting together after work occasionally and after a few months we took a trip to Florida together to see my cousin. After that bonding experience our weekly craft nights became something I looked forward to every week. Bailey has always been a shoulder to lean on the harsh word when called for and a comfort through tough times. I’m so lucky to have such a good friend by my side through out what life brings!

Sam Dunnum

Groomsman

I met Sam when I was less than a year old when we moved to our house on Elm Street in Westby. We were part of a group of kids notoriously called the "Elm Street Gang." Just like Bomar, Sam was also a part of the lunch yugioh crew.

Cambrie Parker

Bridesmaid

Cambrie and I met two years ago riding motorcycles together. Though we are newer friends, she has become someone I trust, confide in, and lean on through life’s ups and downs! From occasional craft nights to long ride days together we always have many laughs. Through the last couple years she has become a very important woman in my life and I’m so lucky to have her by my side!

Jacob Peterson

Groomsman

I met Jacob a couple years ago riding motorcycles. We very quickly became good friends. We ride our bigger motorcycles and also enjoy riding our groms in places that we probably shouldn't be riding.

Saga Rypdal-Josefsson

Bridesmaid

Saga and I met by chance 2 years ago on a birthday trip for a friend of mine. She was visiting someone who was invited on the trip and tagged along. We met and spent 4 days together 2 of which I was sick with COVID. From that day on we stayed in touch. The following summer I was able to visit her in Sweden where she is from and spent 8 glorious days being shown all the beauty of Sweden and making amazing memories with my beautiful friend! I’m pretty sure I speak for both of us when I say we knew this would be a life long friendship from the day we met. She is always there for me through thick and thin and even with a crazy time difference she answers my calls. Couldn’t imagine life without her.

Brock Leum

Groomsman

I met Brock in elementary school. We played baseball together during our childhood, but didn't hang out much until after high school when we started playing video games together and now regularly play games a couple times a week.

Lydia Reed

Bridesmaid

Lydia and I met back in 2012 during high school. Through many ups and downs and through trials of growing up together and growing apart we have always found our way back together and always had each others backs. She has never not been there when I have needed her and does not hesitate to make the 3 and a half hour journey to La Crosse to pick me up if needed or to support me in anything. I’m so grateful to have such a steadfast woman by my side always.

Matt Jubera

Groomsman

I met Matt during my freshman year when he was a senior. He was a bad influence in all the best ways. We had many nights that I stayed over at his place and we played games until 3am. He is still a bad influence when we go out drinking but I wouldn't take him any other way.

Marlene Liljebakk Eriksen

Bridesmaid

Marlene and I met in 2014 during our senior year of high school. We bonded and never lost touch even though she left us to go back to Norway after her exchange year. I’m so lucky to have seen her several summers that she came back to visit. We even braved the skies together and went skydiving during one of her trips! She is always there when I call and always shows up for me when needed. Two summers ago I was finally able to visit her and see her home and that time spent with her will always be cherished! Can’t wait to see her again for the big day!

Jayden Norman

Groomsman

I met Jay in 2019 playing a video game online called Dead by Daylight. I've made quite a few friends online over the years but Jay is one of the few that I really clicked with and still talk and play with to this day.
