Wedding Party
Channing Harbin
Maid of Honor
Channing is Laney's younger sister! While Channing has spent most of her life annoying Laney, she cried more than anyone combined at the proposal so we know she will do anything to make all Laney's dreams come true. Channing and Laney both enjoy a Triple Dipper from Chili's and shopping at Marshalls for things they don't need!
Kenzie Martin
Bridesmaid
Kenzie and Laney have been friends since they were in pre-school together. However, due to silly boy problems and Covid de-railing their Senior year of High School, Kenzie has become more of a sister and is the adopted child of the Harbin family. Kenzie and Laney both love Mexican food and slushes from Casey's!
Kylie Reuter
Bridesmaid
Kylie has filled the role of honorary big sister since her and Laney meet when Laney's mom signed her up to take goalkeeper lessons from Kylie during Middle School. When it was time for Kylie to move on from coaching, they decided that their friendship had grown outside of a player/coach relationship and continued to hang out outside of soccer. Kylie and Laney both love their dogs (who are related) and spending endless hours catching up over some chips and queso!
Lexington Kneedler
Bridesmaid
Lexington and Laney meet in college, where they both played for the MSSU soccer team! Lexington and Laney are perfect compliments of each other, their only complaint is that the other lives so far away. Lexington and Laney both LOVE finding new places to eat, if Laney takes you somewhere to eat in Joplin, Lexington probably showed it to her! They also both enjoy traveling to new places!
Donwen Hong
Best Man
Donwen is Joaquin's cousin and childhood best friend! If you ask any of their families they would tell you these two were inseparable until Joaquin moved to Joplin for college. Joaquin is excited to have Donwen out to stand up as his best man!
Cal Pikulski
Groomsman
Joaquin and Cal meet on the MSSU football team! Laney and Joaquin often joke that Cal is one of their adopted children. The three of them enjoy watching movies and finding new places to eat in Joplin!
Josh Lauvao
Groomsman
Joaquin knew of Josh while living in American Samoa, but didn't become close until Joaquin moved to Joplin. Josh also worked at the bar with Laney, and has grown close to the couple through many late nights at Waffle House and lots of Samoan BBQs!
Fagaalu Siaki
Groomsman
Fagaalu, or Funky, played on the MSSU Football Team with Joaquin. They became fast friends due to their many commonalities; being offensive lineman, being samoan, and their shared love of video games.
Lepo Fualaau
Groomsman
Lepo and Joaquin both played for the MSSU Football team! Lepo was also one of Laney and Joaquin's roommates for two years. Lepo is one of the couples closest friends, and they are excited to have him with them for their special day!
Jaedin & Jaimaury Tapusoa
Ring Bearer
Jaedin and Jaimaury are Joaquin's younger brothers! Now these are not your typical ringbearers, but instead highly trained ring security.
