Kelsey & Gildas
Wedding Party
Kylie Cowdin
Matron of Honor
Kelsey's baby sister! So excited it is finally my turn to cash in on that pinky promise to stand up for each other at our weddings!
Luk Salawu
Best Man
Gildas and Luk have been friends since college in Côte d'Ivoire and were roommates and best friends all through school and graduation in Mankato, plus being Gigi's dads.
Sarah Rinehart
Maid of Honor
Sarah and Kelsey grew up together in Northfield and have lived together, traveled together, and facetimed together for many years. We are so excited to have Sarah back in Minnesota!
Twyla Cowdin
Groomsperson
The woman who started it all! Twyla is Kelsey's sister-in-law and got to know Gildas while they both were helping at a group home in Mankato; she had a hunch and asked to give him Kelsey's number, and the rest is history! We can't thank her enough!
Lolita Niebler
Matron of Honor
Kelsey and Lolita have known each other since 1st grade and Kelsey has been so lucky for that! As godmother to Lolita's beautiful kids, it has been so fun to be in each other's lives for so long and we are excited to celebrate another big day together!
Kevin Cowdin
Groomsman
Kevin is Kelsey's baby brother, and we are so excited to have him standing up with Gildas as he has been so supportive of our relationship (after all, it was his wife's idea).
Raena
Flower Girl
Raena is Kevin and Twyla's daughter and our flower girl!
Alaric
Ring Bearer
Alaric is Kelsey and Gildas' nephew! His little brother Arkyn will also be coming to party.
Ryker
Ring Bearer
Ryker is our nephew and we are so excited he will be walking down with his sister and cousin. Little brother Rand will be cheering everyone on as well.
Nicole
Personal Attendant
Nicole and Kelsey bonded while working together at a past job, where they survived just long enough to become friends! We are so happy to have Nicole helping at the wedding!
Emily
Usher
Emily recently married Gildas' best friend Luk, so she and Kelsey are officially sisters-in-law! Thank you for helping our day go smoothly!
