Wedding Party
Alexa Hill
Maid of Honor
Alexa and Caeli have been friends since 7th grade, but solidified the title of best friend as doubles partners in Varsity badminton at HHS. Its hard to put into words how special Alexa has been in Caeli's life. She has always been by her side through life's ups and down, from getting driver's licenses, to going to U of A together (Bear Down!), visiting when they tragically lived across the country from each other (thankfully this has been rectified), and now living down the street from each other (which was teenage Caeli and Alexa's life goal). Now, this Sagittarius duo can be found spending basically every weekend together, continuing the twin tower tradition as tennis doubles partners, and listening to the Summer Set/Taylor Swift and talking for hours in their cars like they are still 16 years old. She's the A1 since Day 1 and Caeli still doesn't know how she got so lucky to have this amazing woman as her bestie, and now MOH.
Max Malldorf
Best Man
Max and Kasie met in college at Northwest Missouri State University in the most prestigious campus organization known as Blue Key (iykyk). Since that day they have basically been inseparable (except the whole living across the country from one another). Max has been there for Kasie through every high and low in her 20's, including literally moving her to Phoenix on a whim in 2019. When Max and Kasie are around one another, you can assume there will be bier, laughs, and only good times had.
Grace Barker
Maid of Honor
Grace is Caeli's younger (and obviously cooler) sister. She has been keeping Caeli young and hip since she was born. Caeli always turns to her for fashion advice, book recs, mixology help, and most importantly, honest and meaningful conversation. She's always been there for Caeli, including moving her back from Houston to Phoenix on an eventful roadtrip that may have involved a cop in Marfa. You can find them giggling through Sunday night dinner or jamming in the car to BRAT/She's So High/Mamma Mia. This is your go-to girl on the dance floor, as she is also serving as the honorary DJ.
Abbie Rechsteiner
Maid of Honor
Abbie and Kasie met when Max made the greatest decision of his life- dating Abbie. The three of them hung out any moment they could in Maryville, and soon took that friendship to Kansas City, multiple states in the US, and even international! Abbie and Kasie have a love for margaritas, the sun, and Taylor Swift's boyfriend's professional football team. There's never a moment these two hangout and there aren't new crazy stories, future flights being booked on the current trip for the next trip, or teaming up on our partners and giggling about it for hours.
Angelina Romasanta
Bridesmaid
Caeli knew Angelina was going to be one of her best friends when she sat in the front row of their Baylor College of Medicine's PA Classroom (as student body president of course) and asked all of the questions she had on her mind. Caeli has always been inspired by Angelina and loves being around someone so passionate, exciting, bold, and kind. Some of Caeli's favorite memories with Ang are traveling to Thailand (and of course the Beijing airport), spending their 30th birthdays together, always asking the birthday questions, and long phone calls covering every aspect of their lives. Caeli will always count on Angelina to save her life, tear up the dance floor with her, and be the voice of reason.
Hunter White
Bridesmaid
Hunter and Kasie met at their first job at Cerner in Kansas City. Hunter somehow became Kasie's manager for her long term project in California and Arizona, so she was stuck with her for awhile. That professional relationship soon turned into a lifelong friendship. Hunter and Kasie have not only spent hundreds of hours in the airport together for work, but also for many personal adventures across the country (hopefully international in the near future). Hunter is Kasie's go-to on Chiefs gamedays to complain about the refs calls or Patrick's unnecessary risky throws.
Addison Collins
Bridesmaid
Addy Mae and Caeli became inseparable when they moved into the same apartment in Houston (shout out Laney Ladies). Addy was probably the reason Caeli stayed sane in PA school. They had wine nights, took the train to class together, and traveled around the great state of Texas. Addy brings out the lighter side of everyone she is around, wether she is two-stepping, singing Church Choir songs, or wearing the most insane costumes, she always makes every get together the most fun. Since PA school, Addy and Caeli have continued their friendship by visiting Thailand, going to the *Era's Tour* together, and being bridesmaids in each other's weddings. Catch her wearing sparkles and ask her about her crazy cat.
Christine Allen
Bridesmaid
Christine and Kasie met in college in the most underrated organization at Northwest Missouri State University- that's right, The Fishing Club. The two are both from small town Iowa so it's not shocking the first place they met in college was at Mozingo Lake catching some bass fish. Since then, the two have been partners in crime all across the Midwest. From fitness classes to food prep to closing down the clubs at 2am, these hooligans are always ensuring they're healthy, but FUN friends.
Caitlin Collins
Officiant
Caitlin and Caeli became fast friends during Freshman year at U of A. They did all of the college things together from fro-yo dates, to date dashes, to dinners at the Kappa house, to being roommates, to being involved in every single activity they could possibly find. Since college they have very sadly lived in separate states, but Caitlin has always been the most wonderful and consistent friend who always calls Caeli and makes the time to keep updated on hers and Kasie's lives. Caitlin was one of the very first people that Caeli told about Kasie, and since then she has been a very important person in both Caeli and Kasie's lives. Having Caitlin officiate the wedding is an absolute honor for both of the brides as she is one of the most thoughtful, caring, eloquent, and badass woman they know.
Lauren Littleton
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Kasie met through Caeli's Maid of Honor, Alexa. As soon as these two Geminis hung out in the same room, the world was never the same. If there is a bar with a hazy beer or a sports game on, you'll probably find them there. Or even on the softball field showing the young folks what varsity (JV for Kasie, shh) athletes look like in their ripe ages of 30 something.
