Wedding Party
Danika Johnson
Maid of Honor
As my younger, and only sibling, Danika has been my "built-in best friend" since the day she was born. From crawling into her crib with her to flying to Ecuador together, Danika has been by my side through it all (even though in both of these situations I was sleeping for most of it...). Though Danika is four years younger than me, most people don't realize this because our bond and support for each other is so strong. My favorite memory with Danika is the little moments we have together that mean so much! Ask Danika about the time we were in the Ecuador airport together! -Kendra
Race Jacobson
Best Man
Race is my oldest and only brother. He's always helped push me to go out of the house and experience the world around us. From inviting me hunting to helping me with any car issue, he has always been there for me. My favorite memory is going duck hunting with him, and getting my first duck. Ask him about my flat tire! -Lane
Holly Zirnhelt
Bridesmaid
Holly is my closest cousin, in life and in age, as she is only 5 weeks older than me! Since we were so close, she was the twin I never had (even ask Grandma Sherry, she used to call me and Holly the Bobbsey Twins!) From celebrating life milestones together, such as first communion and graduating high school on the same day, Holly and I have always been connected at the hip. Although we've always lived a distance apart, our bond has only become stronger through the years. My favorite memory with Holly was skiing at Detroit Mountain with her and Danika (I prefer snowboarding, so trying to control 4 objects at once didn't go well...). Ask Holly about me and her recording ourselves singing the National Anthem in our worst voices under her bed at a family get-together! -Kendra
Craig Zirnhelt
Groomsman
Craig is one of the two Zirnhelt Family grandsons, yet fits in equally as well with all the crazy girls! Only two years older than his sister Holly and myself, Craig fit the role of "big brother" perfectly for both of us. I'm pretty sure from the day I was born, Craig has picked on me, but I never let it stop me from anything, and eventually I learned to pick right back! From throwing me off sleds behind snowmobiles at age 2 to flinging me off a jet ski at age 22, Craig has been the best "big brother" I could've ever asked for. My favorite memory with Craig is watching both of our family cats, Kaly and Grendelle, not being huge fans of him. Ask Craig about eating butter balls at Aunt Jackie and Uncle Josh's wedding! -Kendra
Kaitlyn Kuntz
Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn has been a great friend, supporter, and wonderful role model in my life since we meet in elementary school! As two girls who were always ready to make others laugh, we bonded quickly and easily! Kaitlyn was with me through all of the awkward, frustrating, and beautiful days of my teenage years. She has always been a shoulder to cry on and a friend to laugh with whenever I've been in need. My favorite memory with Kaitlyn is Spirit Week 2014 when we rode in the Invisible Boat-mobile as Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy! Ask her about any Napoleon Dynamite quote, or to perform the entire movie, and she'll know every line! -Kendra
Tyler Matzke
Groomsman
Tyler is my friend. I trained Tyler when we worked together at Scheels, and showed him everything I know. It's truly a fun time to joke around with him. My favorite memory with Tyler was going to his Christmas party and getting out of my shell. Ask Tyler about me dropping chairs on his head! -Lane
Kasey Ferguson
Bridesmaid
Though neither of us went far from home for college, the transition is never an easy one. The first thing I remember about Kasey (who lived two doors down in our freshman dorm) is that she was a people magnet! She always had her door open and can make anyone feel great about themselves! Through our college years, this first impression has continued to be true, as Kasey has been one of my strongest supporters in all aspects of my life and pushed me to become the strong woman I am today. She is always a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day and will make you laugh until it hurts! My favorite memory with Kasey is surviving every day of nursing school with her by my side, though I took up all of her desk space with my many snacks! Ask her about the time my mom gave her a hug and not me! -Kendra
Ben Tornow
Groomsman
Ben is my friend. I've worked with Ben for over two years now, and he has been there for everything. Whether it's life questions, or needing help with work, Ben has been there to help explain for me. My favorite memory is Ben driving me and a few other co-workers around Eden Prairie. Ask Ben how his driving was on that trip! -Lane
Mia Bopp
Junior Bridesmaid
Mia, or more commonly known as my "mini-me" has been the strongest, most energetic little lady I've ever had the pleasure of knowing from the day she was born. Truly a living miracle, this girl has inspired me to smile about whatever life brings your way and maybe throw in a "yee-haw" or two while you're at it. My favorite memory with Mia is telling her stories about my work in Memory Care. Ask her about how i became her "bestest cousin"! - Kendra
Eliza Hackbarth
Junior Bridesmaid
Eliza is another one of the Zirnhelt girl cousins and another head of hair for me to practice braiding at the lake! Eliza is such a caring, kind young lady and it had been fun for me to watch her grow throughout the years! She is a huge animal lover and Skye's favorite lap to snuggle up on! My favorite memory with Eliza is visiting the LA Zoo together and she was the best little tour guide ever! Ask her what the fastest land animal is! - Kendra
Anna Hackbarth
Junior Bridesmaid
Anna is the youngest of the Zirnhelt cousins and we've always said that it is so fitting because nobody could truly follow Anna on the stage! She is a bright ray of sunshine and will make you laugh at any time of the day with her hilarious wit! Anna is the best makeup artist I've ever come across and the prettiest dancer I've ever seen! My favorite memory with Anna is losing in Candy Land to her... every. single. time. Ask her to twirl in her beautiful dress and she won't hesitate for a second!
