Wedding Party

Abbey Bartenhagen

Bride

Jordan Gerling

Groom

Cory Griffin

Best Man

Cory and Jordan's love of racing has lead them to a great friendship. Jordan was pretty dead set of Cory being his best man from the day we started talking about getting married. We better brace ourselves for the speech he gives, as him and Jordan have shared many memories together!

Austin Halstead

Groomsman

Jordan and Austin have been friends since their middle school days. Austin is one of Jordan's longest friendships and is glad that is has lasted to have him stand up with him at his wedding.

Casey Robertson

Groomsman

Casey and Jordan's parents knew each other when the boys were growing up and that is how they became close friends. Now they enjoy playing basketball together, especially at the Alumni Tournament each summer!

Jordan Eichelberger

Groomsman

Jordan has been one of Jordan's friends for awhile. They attended school together and remained friends after graduation. Nowadays you can catch them playing x-box together!

Britt Noble

Groomsman

Jordan and Britt have been friends ever since they lived next to each other growing up. Jordan considers Britt a very good friend and is thrilled to have him be a part of our big day.

Stacy Gerling

Maid of Honor

Stacy is SO much more than Jordan's sister. She is the sister I never had. No matter what I can count on her for absolutely anything. I'm so excited to officially gain her as family and have another sister!

Miranda Schwickerath

Maid of Honor

Miranda is one of those once in a lifetime friends! One day, my freshman year of college, I met a spunky, curly headed, loud, girl named Miranda. We had no idea at the time that our conversations in Math 104 would lead to one of the best friendships I've ever had. We've been through a lot of long distance and I finally have her in SE Iowa to partake in some more shenanigans like we used to in Ames.

Emily McAtee

Bridesmaid

Emily and I have grown up together since the early days of Kindergarten! She is one of those friends who has experienced many of life's highs and lows with me. No matter where life has taken us we still managed to be in each others lives. My life just wouldn't be the same without Emily in it!

Ashley Bartenhagen

Bridesmaid

Ashley and I met years ago when she was crazy enough to start dating my brother. She has been such a blessing in my life ever since! I couldn't imagine her not standing up with me on the BIG day!

Mykenzie Buzzard

Bridesmaid

Mykenzie and I met at Iowa State our freshman year. We were dorm neighbors and we quickly became friends! After graduation, Mykenzie moved close by to Muscatine and we were able to stay in touch. My day is going to be so fun having this girl standing up with me!

Allie Hagberg

Personal Attendant

Allie and I met in 6th grade when she moved to Wapello. We've attended high school and college together. Allie is the perfect person to handle the roles and responsibilities of the personal attendant!

Megan Bruty

Honor Attendant

Megan and I have worked together for the past two years at Stewart Elementary. She is one of the paraprofessionals in my classroom. Instantly we had a connection that blossomed into a friendship. Our children attend the same childcare center and love to hang out and play! I'm so grateful for our friendship and to have such an amazing co-worker and friend!

Alex Bartenhagen

Usher

So glad my older brother will be part of my big day!

Dustin Howell

Usher

We are so happy that Dustin is able to be a part of our big day! Jordan and Dustin had been friends for awhile before I met him on his wedding day 6 years ago. Knowing Dustin, he is ready to greet every guest with a smile to help you find a seat!

Evan Bartenhagen

Usher

I couldn't imagine not having my little brother apart of the wedding as well!

Zach Milder

Usher

Zach and Jordan have been friends since their high school days. We are so happy he is part of our day!

Adeline Gerling

Flower Girl

I couldn't imagine a better flower girl than our precious Adeline. She has changed our world for the better and we are so excited to start this new journey as a family of 3!

Kerrie Klein

Officiant

Kerrie is Jordan's cousin on his dad's side of the family. Every fall, they get together to attend home football games for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Jordan and his cousin Kerrie bond over sports, especially the Iowa Hawkeyes. Kerrie has always accepted me as family and supported Jordan and I's relationship. We are so honored and feel privileged to have Kerrie officiate the wedding and pronounce us as husband and wife!
