Tristan
Best Man
I know Tristan as Knutson, his last name, because of how we met and became such great friends. Tristan and I met at basic training in January of 2020. He seemed to almost make it a goal to become my friend. He helped me get through basic, even when it got really tough, and I did the same for him. He has also been really great about being a part of our wedding even though he lives about 10 hours away. I am lucky to have met Tristan and have him as a friend. -Kasten
Garrett
Man of Honor
Garrett and I have been best friends since we were a few months old. I could not even fathom a world without "Gee" or having any one else as my person of honor on my big day. I feel truly, truly blessed to have a friend in Garrett. He has been the constant throughout my whole life. Whenever I need him, he's always there. Every single person I've talked to about Garrett being my Man of Honor has just smiled so big and revealed it was the perfect idea. I think so too. ~ Macey
Jason
Father of the Groom
I've asked my dad to be a groomsman because he has always been there for me when I needed him. He's been like one of my best friends for as long as I can remember. He has pushed me to be a better man and the man I've become today. Thanks to him I will always have a friend I can depend on for the rest of my life. -Kasten
Mackenzi
Bridesmaid
Mackenzi and I have been besties since sixth grade. I convinced her to try out for junior high cheerleading with me so I wouldn't be alone. We bicker sometimes because we are really more like siblings than friends. Mackenzi will always hold a special place in my heart, no matter how far we are. We could not talk for months and pick up exactly where we left off. I am so proud of her and all of her incredible accomplishments. ~ Macey
Dylan
Groomsman
Dylan is one of the most generous, dependable, and selfless people I have ever met. I know I can always trust him when Macey and I need his help with anything. He has proven that when I asked him to be a groomsman; he was ready and willing to step up and help with whatever I needed. I also thought I might not have a bachelor trip until Dyan and Tyten stepped in to help plan. I can't think him enough. - Kasten
Maggie
Bridesmaid
Maggie and I have been the best of friends since meeting on the playground in kindergarten. She has been there for the highest ups and the lowest lows and I'm grateful to have gone through them together. Mag and I were also roommates for three years in college, which resulted in some of the best memories. After being together for everything, I'm so glad we both stayed in Hillsboro. It is a blessing to experience all that life has to offer with such a good friend nearby. ~ Macey
Tyten
Groomsman
Tyten is an amazing friend and just as dependable as someone I've known my whole life. He is a very outgoing person; there is no introvert in him. I remember the first time I met Tyten, he tried to hand me a shot of fireball. If he's not the life of the party then something is wrong. I really appreciate him being a part of our wedding. - Kasten
Annie
Bridesmaid
Annie and I met when her family moved back to Hillsboro while we were in high school. Her grandma set us up on a blind friend date and we have been best friends ever since. Some of my favorite high school memories are riding to all the football and soccer games together and singing Hamilton songs in the car. Annie helped me feel like I wasn't alone in high school. She will always be a dear friend, no matter how far she travels. ~ Macey
Grant
Groomsman
Grant has been a great friend since I've moved up to Illinois. It was pretty easy for us to become good friends because we both serve in branches of the National Guard. Although he is Air Force and I am army so I make sure to give him a hard time about that and he does it right back. Grant is super dependable if you need him somewhere. He will always be a great friend that I can rely on if needed.
Emy
Bridesmaid
Emy and I met at SIUE. We randomly became roommates and have been friends ever since. We spent so much time watching the Bachelor/Bachelorette together and planned our week around the show. One of my favorite college memories is sprinting down to Emy's car at 9:50 pm to speed over to Sonic for slushies before they closed at 10:00. The Sonic workers probably hated us. Our memories always make me smile and I feel so grateful to have found a lifelong friend in Emy. ~ Macey
Trevor
Officiant
Trevor is one of the most loyal, outgoing, and God loving friends we have. He is always there to make everyone smile and bring life to the darkest room. We had a hard time figuring out who would marry us, but Trevor was always the best idea. Luckily for us, he embraced the idea with open arms as well as an open mind and heart. - Kasten & Macey
