Wedding Party
Sarah Pedretti
Bride
"Meet my beautiful bride, Sarah! She is goofy, supportive, creative, energetic, and slow to anger. She is always willing to dance around with me in public. She pushes me to keep running and cheers me on during races. She encourages me with my writing and gives me feedback. She always wants to go for a walk outside often gets me up off the couch. And she is a very good communicator - she rarely gets angry during disagreements and always wants to hear all sides before coming to any conclusions. This is the woman I love and can't wait to marry!" ~Landry
Landry Hacklander
Groom
"This is my handsome, silly, encouraging, adventurous man! Landry shows his bravery daily as he hangs off of buildings washing windows. He believes that every season and weather is "good camping weather." He would eat a burger a day if he could, and he would get away with it since his idea of a good run is 15miles+ especially during his marathon training times.. which is basically all year round. He loves watching me try to play videogames, is manly enough to cry over a good book, and will publish his first book this year! This is the man I love and can't wait to marry!" ~Sarah
LeAnn Jesseman
Matron of Honor
"Meet my sister and best friend! Even though I supposedly grievously attacked her for no reason as a child and she tied me to a tree and left me, we've created unbreakable bonds of trust, understanding, and true sisterhood throughout the years. We've been roommates (even outside of our parents' house), and we've traveled the world together. We've seen each other's lows and celebrated the highs. LeAnn is an amazing mother to my sweet niece Reagan and gave me the older brother that I always wanted when she married Kevin. This is my Matron of Honor!" ~Sarah
Logen Hacklander
Best Man
"Meet my little big bro, Logen. We frequently play videogames online together, have many backpacking adventures, and we went on a mission trip backpacking through Spain together!" ~Landry
Natalie Pautsch
Bridesmaid
"Meet Natalie! Our friendship began the first day of six grade in home room where we became fast friends, and our friendship has only deepened ever since. We've gone from curling our hair before a school dance in her parent's mini dance studio to swing dance outings in the cities while at Northwestern and Bethel, and now, we have the pleasure of watching each of our families and careers grow together! Natalie has the joy of three sweet kiddos while working as a PA in family medicine. You'll find her twirling on the dance floor!" ~Sarah
Connor Hacklander
Groomsman
"Meet my older brother, Connor. He sometimes joins Logen and I on our online videogame adventures. He's not much of the backpacking type. He's an old man at heart, haha. But he is really good with his hands and can fix just about anything." ~Landry
Laura Corey
Bridesmaid
"Please meet my bestfriend who has stood by my side for DECADES! Yes, Laura and I have been friends since we were four! I still remember birthday parties at her house when we were about seven years old, playing in the school house, eating mac and cheese and watching My Little Pony. We've shared our deepest secrets sitting in the car in our driveways hours after arriving. We've laughed and cried over boys, and screeched for joy when the other found their person. Laura is not only one of the truest friends a gal could have, she is outrageously impressive working as a psychologist in the Navy in DC! I still say, 'your life is a movie!' Laura will be the one who makes you feel like the most important person in the world." ~Sarah
Jake Thacker
Groomsman
"If you need a hype man, Jake's got you covered. I don't know a more humble and teachable guy than Jake. When he's not playing sick riffs on his guitar, Jake is working hard or getting ripped at the gym. He's a great friend who brings a lot of energy and always puts a smile on my face!" ~Landry
Bergen DeLeeuw
Bridesmaid
"I introduce Cruber.. I mean, Bergen! We have been friends ever since that iconic first day of fifth grade when the adventures began. We've caught giant garden spiders in mason jars, transversed every forest trail we could find, choreographed dances, made pretend about anything you could think of, and have encouraged each other in our faith through it all. Bergen is the sweetest Mama to four amazing littles and the most talented artist you'll find! She'll be the one cracking jokes!" ~Sarah
Nathan Strecker
Groomsman
"Meet Nathan: Youth pastor. Podcaster. Soon to be author. Nathan is a good friend who asks you deep questions and expects real answers. He's always down for a game night, a house worship session, or to get some really good wings - or anything spicy. This guy also knows his way around the Bible and can mess you up in a theological debate." ~Landry
