Justin & Amelia
Wedding Party
Mikayla Helsper
Matron of Honor
This girl is my person. She just gets me. She taught me to stick up for myself and would do absolutely anything for me. She pushes me to be a better version of myself daily. After 18 years of a friendship, I cannot imagine my life without her.
Jeremy Rodriguez
Best Man
Twin Brother, Right hand man, and the guy responsible for getting me through math class. Been by my side through thick and thin and after 4 years apart at college we felt that was enough time away and are now co-workers. Proud to have him as a best man.
Allison Geringer
Maid of Honor
There is no one quite like this girl. She's been in my life since we were 2 years old. Dance was our connection to begin and now we can't seem to get rid of one another. I wouldn't trade any moment we've shared together for the world. She's my Hart and always will be.
Joey Rodriguez
Best Man
Older brother, role model, and post grad roommate. Best big brother you could ask for that always has your back, and will analyze pre-season Minnesota Vikings football with you. Honored to call Joey my best man.
Haley Jordan
Bridesmaid
Haley Amelia. Survived every awkward stage in life with me. This beauty always keeps me laughing and is such a joy in to be around. Thankful that she fully accepts my love for Fetty Wap and MoDot traffic signs.
Paul Rempfer
Groomsman
Some of my earliest memories include my unofficial 3rd brother, Paul. We have been tossing a baseball around since before I can remember. Paul is an incredible person that I have always been able to rely on. Keep an eye out for him on the dance floor.
Jessica Faron
Bridesmaid
Everyone needs a Jess in their life. We did not meet until junior year of college and I am not sure how I made it so long without her. She has been a steady soul in my life and I thank God every day for her.
Matthew Bauchle
Groomsman
Matthew Bauchle, now here's a guy who you can always count on for a good time. Countless memories with this guy including road trips, maybe closing down a bar or two, and the -20 degree Blair Walsh missed field goal Vikings playoff game. All your stress goes away when you're around Matt.
Marleigh Anderson
Bridesmaid
Golden Girls brought us together, but something more kept us together. Mar never ceases to amaze me. She is one of the most impressive people I know. Thankful for all of the times we unintentionally twinned and our love for eating.
Mike Maine
Groomsman
Mike is truly one of the best people you will ever meet. He brings the best out in you and lives life to the full. Had just about every class in college with Mike and he helped keep me grounded and become a better person. Only knock on him is he's a Bears fan
Sydney Bredehoeft
Bridesmaid
We had no chance to be anything but friends with our two older brothers and I am so thankful that was the case. We survived being the annoying little sisters together and became inseparable. Texas is lucky to have this gal pal of mine.
Aaron Pinkerton
Groomsman
My good friend, Aaron attended the University of Missouri with me. A lot of late night study sessions, rooming together and being the responsible ones of the friend group helped us bond over the years. Unfortunately also a Bears fan.
Claire Polka
Bridesmaid
This KU fanatic and I immediately hit it off when we were both new teachers at our school. Who knew a co-worker could become a lifelong friend? I am so thankful teaching brought us together so that we can spend countless Happy Hours together.
Joseph Eggerman
Groomsman
Not sure what I've spent more time doing with "Big Joe" but it is between hunting, watching the office and conversing over a Busch Light. An early college roommate of mine, there are few memories I have in college which did not include this guy. Most reliable person I know.
Staci Hon
Bridesmaid
We may be cousins, but this girl has been one of my closest friends throughout my whole life! We share a love for our family and teaching. Even though we both do not live in Concordia anymore and have crazy schedules, we never skip a beat.
Stephen Hart
Groomsman
Another Bears fan. Stephen has been a reliable friend from when I first met him in college. Countless memories with this guy and truly someone who will always be there when you need him. Get the chance to know Steve, he's been known to stick around for a cocktail
Molly Maddox
Bridesmaid
The sister I never knew I needed! She's teaching me to cook one meal at a time , shares a love for Beyonce with me, and is my dominating Scrabble partner. Thankful for her every day and love her dearly.
Adam Maddox
Groomsman
My future brother in law has been great at making me feel welcome with the Maddox clan. Though I didn't see him very often when Amelia and I initially started dating, over the years and especially within the last couple we have had many good times. His sense of humor is one of his greatest qualities and he's well known for his "flossing" skills on the dance floor.
Emmalynn Klatt
Bridesmaid
Came on Justin and I's first date to chaperone, but let's be honest... Justin became Em and I's third-wheel. The second I met this future sister-in-law of mine, I knew we were going to be inseparable. This wonderful human is one of the best women I know and I am so blessed I get to call her family and my friend.
Zachary Klatt
Groomsman
Well apparently I put too many Bears fans in my wedding party, but this brother in law has never felt like an in law. Even though he was dating my sister, I was a big fan of Zach from the get go. We've had many fun times on the court in high school and over the years we've transitioned to lawn games, the lawn games being much more intense.
Elizabeth Hand
Bridesmaid
Bitty is cutest person you will ever meet. She always has the most beautiful and contagious smile on her face and is always so positive. I've loved her like my own sister for so many years and I can't wait to make it official.
Quentin Hand
Groomsman
It didn't take long for me to enjoy being around Quentin. He is one of the most laid back and easy going guys you'll ever meet. He fit right in with the Rodriguez family and it's always a grand ole time with him no matter the event. Fair warning, he is a light weight.
Rachel Rodriguez
Bridesmaid
We get to be the "in-laws" together in the beautiful Rodriguez family! This sweet soul is already so special to me. She understands my love for being organized and helps me keep our boys in line. Plus, she's already an amazing mommy!
Kevin O'Mara
Groomsman
Though I went into college knowing a very small amount of people, Kevin was one of the first individuals I met and made the transition very easy. I've had many adventures over the years with Kevin which was kicked off by a trip to Auburn where we met Charles Barkley at a bar. Many have said that Kevin is the life of the party.
