Kristen & Tom
Wedding Party
Ryan Baelz
Best Man
Tom's long time friend. As once was described to Kristen by a guest at Ryan’s wedding… Ryan is well, Ryan. It was then decided there wasn’t much more that needed to be said.
Jolie Rodriguez
Bridesmaid
Jolie is Kristen's sister-in-law, and married to Kristen's big brother Joe. Jolie is one of the kindest, sweetest people Kristen has ever met, going so far as to once tell Kristen she made the best mashed potatoes ever on Thanksgiving that were honestly downright terrible.
Joe Van Tassel
Groomsman
Joe is Kristen's oldest brother, husband of bridesmaid Jolie Rodriguez. If Joe shows up on the right date, and the right time to this wedding, it will be because Jolie got him there on time, because he likes to make endless jokes about when this wedding actually is. Despite his jokes, he is a loyal brother and friend.
Megan Van Tassel
Bridesmaid
Megan is Kristen's other sister-in-law, married to Kristen's brother, Rich. Megan is truly a saint of a human being, with endless amounts of patience and understanding for everyone she meets. She’s also the biggest Clay Aiken fan in the world.
Rich Van Tassel
Groomsman
Rich is Kristen’s other older brother, who will always be “Rick” in her heart because that was his name when they kids. Kristen and Rich are probably has different as two people could be… except they’re both diehard Dallas Cowboys fans. Despite the differences and difficulties, when push comes to shove, there’s a lot of love and they’ll always have each other’s backs.
Halley Kolker
Bridesmaid
Halley is Kristen's college BFF, having met in 2008 when both were starting the planning of their study abroad trip to Venice, Italy. With plenty of ups and downs along the way, Kristen couldn't get married without Halley to be by her side. Halley is the Leslie Knope to Kristen's Ron Swanson, the Charles Boyle to her Jake Peralta (and if you don't know. FOR SHAME)
Lee McLaughlin
Groomsman
Tom's friend, who’s best known for drinking alcohol out of a plastic eagle’s ass. Lee is definitely the life of the bridal party! Tom and Lee have one thing in common - they both know better than to let their significant other be their cornhole partner.
Chelsea Greenemeier
Bridesmaid
Chelsea is Kristen's friend and former coworker. Chelsea is also the auntie of Kristen's beloved dog, Sandy. Chelsea is truly one of a kind, and Kristen's bridezilla to bridechilla whisperer. Kristen hasn’t lost her mind yet during wedding planning and festivities thanks to Chelsea.
Thomas Wittmer
Groomsman
Affectionate known as “Other Tom” he’s Tom’s best friend and member of Tom’s Civil War unit. He’s also the official forever third wheel of Kristen and Tom’s relationship whether Kristen likes it or not… or Kristen is the third wheel in the Toms’s relationship. Either way it’s a weird triad of love and laughter.
