Wedding Party
Chloe Kinney
Bride
Keaton Ruppert
Groom
Macy Jenks
Maid of Honor
Macy is my cousin by blood but my best friend by choice. She has been by my side through every success and every set back so it is only fitting she is by my side on my wedding day. I have always considered Macy a cool and hip person. She is always up to date on all of the newest music, trends, and fashion. Whenever I am in need of some much needed fashion advice or someone to simply talk to she is my go to girl. Now when it comes to spending time with Macy you can always guarantee some fun, laughter, and a little bit of craziness from time to time but that is what makes her the life of the party.
Brady Cochran
Best Man
A best friend, a golf partner, and an entertaining roommate. Brady has been a great part of my life for as long as I can remember. We lived in Kalamazoo together for two years and there was never a dull moment. Though we mostly just play golf together there are few things in this world Brady couldn't make fun. I've seen Brady in a lot of crazy situations doing a lot of crazy things and although he may seem crazy himself, deep down Brady is an incredibly down to earth person who loves the people closest to him fiercely (though he might not show it). I am sincerely proud of this man and can't wait to see how he acts as my Best Man.
Marissa Kuick
Bridesmaid
Marissa is one of my best friends! Our little love story began on a not so little sail boat where we both thought the other was too cool to be friends with the other. Flash forward three years later and I wouldn't want it any other way. Marissa is my adventure buddy and my forever coffee date. She is my go to girl when I am in desperate need of a good hike or someone to drive randomly in one direction and never question it (we haven't done that but I wouldn't be surprised if we did). She is also my go to coffee and charcuterie queen. I am so excited to be sharing my big day with her and can't wait to see her on her own wedding day.
Graham Ruppert
Groomsman
My slightly older twin brother, my free labor mechanic, and my best worst built in friend. Graham and I have our fair share of disagreements but at the end of the day it is well known we would do anything for each other. Graham is incredibly hard working and truly successful, I cant wait to see how far he goes. I am lucky to have a brother like him.
Haley Kinney
Bridesmaid
Haley is my big sister. Although we grew up together we are different and unique in our own ways. Due to this its not uncommon for us to argue about the little things. However, I will never have it any other way. Haley has always been an awesome big sister and has been a huge support system for me throughout my whole life. I am so honored to have my sister by my side on my wedding day!
Peter Filbrandt
Groomsman
A bit of an unspoken bond exists between Peter and I. No matter where we go or how far life takes us I believe Peter and I will continue to be friends. We've created a miniature scale model of Fiji out of a shoebox, we walked together at high school graduation, There have been random home town encounters, and now a groomsmen at my wedding. What's next Peter!
Allie Ruppert
Bridesmaid
Allie is not only my soon to be sister in law but she is also one of the coolest people I know. On top of being cool she is easily one of the best singers I have ever heard. I don't know if she knows this but I cried one of the first times I ever heard her sing. Anyway, if you know Allie you know she also can be the life of the party. She makes the simplest of tasks into a fun event. Check her out on YouTube! @Allie_Bo_Balli
Ryan Wagner
Groomsman
A prospective future brother in law, Ryan has been an amazing friend ever since I first met him. Though I haven't know him quite as long as the some of my other groomsmen Ryan was an easy pick. His ability to make friends as well as make an entire group of people feel included is uncanny. Oh he also knows his way around a board game or two.
Karlie Woodall
Bridesmaid
Karlie is my little mini me. If you put the two of us next to each other you would think we are sisters not cousins. There is never a dull moment with Karlie. Not only is her smile contagious to everyone around her she also can make anyone laugh with her goofy jokes! Much like many little girls I always dreamt of my wedding day and when I did I knew that Karlie would be one of my bridesmaids. Now that we are here, I am so grateful to have her with me on my wedding day making one of my dreams come true.
Caleb Heinze
Groomsman
Caleb is one of the friends you might call a brother from another mother. I've been lucky enough to grow up exploring the woods behind his house, playing Xbox in his living room for way to long, and working on our cars in his barn. Although we don't get to see each other nearly as much as we used too, Caleb has been a great brother to grow up with.
KaSandra Miller
Bridesmaid
KaSandra is my sister from another mister! I can always count on her for a good recipe and an open ear for any of my problems in life. She has been such an awesome support system throughout all of wedding planning and always giving me the most clever ideas. I am so excited to have her at my wedding and can't wait to help her plan her own!……wink wink Shawn ;)
Collin Burlingham
Groomsman
Collin and I haven't been friends for very long but in the time that we have it has been nothing but great. We've spent countless hours playing video games together, as well as hunting grounds hogs or just having a fire. Collin is also an incredible house guest, he'll bring way to many snacks, cook an amazing dinner, and make sure everyone is entertained in the process. I am very fortunate to have a friend like Collin and can't wait to have him in my wedding.
Collen Watkins
Bridesman
My favorite memories with Collen aren’t our many hours of plays and musicals together or late night parties but they are sitting on Macys couch laughing and watching the funniest things on TV while we reminisce about simpler times. Although I am not as close with him as Macy is, whenever I hang out with Collen its like we haven't missed a beat. 🤍
Chase Webb
Groomsman
Chase has been a long time friend and one that I know I can count on for almost anything. We've played golf, we've played soccer, and we've been Kayaking on the black river. Chase's love for animals makes his home feel a bit like a petting zoo but it also proves just how awesome a heart this guy has. He is an incredibly hard worker making spending time with him a bit difficult but when you do you won't be disappointed.
Grace Lyons
Bridesmaid
Grace is a friend that no matter where life takes us we can always come back together and have a good time like no time has passed at all. From what I can remember, I have never ever had a bad time with Grace. We always have a good time together and because of that I just knew I had to have her be apart of my bridesmaids for my wedding. I am so excited to have her be apart of our day and celebrate with us!
Gabe Bocock
Groomsman
Another brother from another mother, Gabe has been an amazing person to grow up with. Though hanging out with Gabe is always fun you have to be ready to get your hands dirty there is always work to be done when around Gabe. Hopefully we won't be driving overnight to Pennsylvania to buy a truck any time soon but when it comes to Gabe I can't say it wouldn't be a hell of a lot of fun.
