Wedding Party
Kaytlyn Luebke
Maid of Honor
Kaytlyn is Zach's sister. She works at Dura Supreme in Howard Lake MN. Kayt and Elexis met for the first time just after Zach and Elexis started dating and Elexis was convinced she didn't like her and it would end in the happy couple breaking up. Fast forward a few months and they were laughing together, getting there nails done and having little house parties when Zach was out of town working. Kayt soon learned just how crazy Elexis was when she came into the room as Kayt was sleeping in with paint and a paint brush asking her if she would help paint Elexis' butt for a goofy Tik Tok painting she wanted to make. Kaytlyn laughed and laughed but was still up for the task until paint was spilled on the floor and Elexis was more worried about getting that out of the carpet. With all their goofy moments and secrets they grew together, asking Kaytlyn to be the maid of honor was the easiest decision for the happy couple to make.
Dan Myllykangas
Best Man
Dan and Zach met at a party in middle school and have been good friends ever since. Some would say they are more like brothers than anything. The two lived together for 3 years and saw each other thru some of the hardest times in their life, but also have some great stories to tell. Zach and Dan enjoyed partying and hanging out at whatever house they could get into trouble at. As stated the two are great at causing trouble together, the first time they went ice fishing is a great example. One of their buddies fell asleep early and the two wrapped a Walleye around his neck and woke him up. He threw the fish across the ice house and left the boys laughing. A short while later Dan dropped his phone in the ice hole (his annual fishing tradition). The two bring out the party animal in each other.
Mason Gertsema
Man of Honor
Mason and Elexis are 7 months apart in age and cousins thru their mothers. They have always been close tho living so far away from each other. Since birth they have been there for all the ups in downs that the other was going thru, many of which were the same things at different points in life. The two have had each others backs and made the long drive to see each other whenever they can. Mason is the one person that doesn't hide the truth about anything so when he told Elexis, Zach was the one for her she knew there were no doubts that this would be something to last. Once the couple got engaged and called to tell Mason, Elexis told him the news by asking if he had his dress ready to be the Man of Honor (this came about with Mason saying he would do whatever the bride wanted to make her happy and be involved). The cousins both cried and were so excited about the news and to be celebrating together. Mason was supper supportive of the couple from the start, and took a lot of planning stress off the bride by helping with all the final and small details of the big day!
Michael Borg
Groomsman
Michael is Zach's cousin and has the best in mind for all family members. Michael and Zach have memories together. As kids they would hang out at their aunt Kims and play games, stay up late and do what boys do best... cause trouble!! Zach and Michael don't talk every day but when they get back together it is like no time has passed. Michael knows how to bring a laugh everywhere he goes and just how to talk Zach into doing something dumb. The boys are truly one of a kind.
Libby Blackowiak
Bridesmaid
Libby and Elexis started their friendship in a blindsided way full of drama and rumors. (If you know you know) However, they both realized they had to quickly get over it as they would be seeing a lot of each other since their partners are best friends. After Libby and Elexis talked thru all the rumors and drama they became supper close and started talking every day. Now you could ask either one of them or their partners and they would tell you just how far their relationship has come. They are best friends and have each others backs as both girls plan their weddings and all drama that seems to be never ending, but they don't let that affect their relationship.
Blake Maidl
Groomsman
Blake and Zach have been supper close since 2016 after meeting thru mutual friends. They have had their share of not talking and not agreeing with each others decisions however, they always seem to find their way back to the closely bonded relationship they have always been known to have. Most people who know these two would tell you "They are gay for each other". However both boys would drop everything to do something for one another as they see each other as a brother. Blake is Zach's mechanic at the Arlington Raceway when Zach needs help because his truck doesn't seem to want to start now that they have arrived, Blake finds out what is going on and makes sure he gets Zach out on the track.
Dakota Bryant
Groomsman
Dakota and Zach have been friends since high school. The two both enjoy auto cross racing, and tho competitors they help fix, build, and paint each others vehicles. While on the track that mindset sticks with them as they encourage each other and give each other tips on how to become better. As their friendship grew closer Zach is now seen as "uncle" to Dakotas children. Zach and Dakota are both motor heads and spend lots of time in the garage or having bonfires with friends.
Zed Anthony
Dog Walker
Zed is Elexis' little brother. Although he is her step brother they hate using that word because Zed has been in Elexis' life since he was two years old. Zed is a total goof ball. When he first met Zach he was confused with the past and he started referring to him as "Tall Zach" to this day he is still Tall Zach but he is also Zachs buddy. Zed has such a big heart but absolutely no filter when it comes to what he says. After being asked to be in the wedding he responded with "No I wont do that", however he is coming around to the idea of walking Bear down the isle and watching the couple get married.
Kallie Ann
Flower Girl
Kallie is Zachs god daughter. When her parents chose him they knew Zach would not only be a great uncle but always have Kallie's back. Although not the best influence as he never says no to his little girl. Zach and Kallie go on the best adventures and get into all the trouble. Kallie is such a bright light and has such a goofy yet adventurous spirit. She is not afraid to climb things she shouldn't and do the things she knows will get her in trouble. Guess you can call her the one that keeps everyone on their toes. Kallie has such a spit fire personality and her dad (Blake) and Zach know it will get her into some trouble when she is older but they will both jump in the truck to fight her battles. Kallie Ann will bring even more love to the couples big day!
Aidan Andrew
Ring Bearer
Aidan is Elexis' god son, however she doesn't call him that because to her he will always be "monkey". Like Kallie he too likes to get into trouble, jumping, climbing, running, and just doing what boys do best. He is always getting dirty but still makes everyone laugh even at the worst times. Elexis knows he can always be counted on to brighten her day, weather a phone call, a hug, a joke or just his loving and silly personality. Aidan is such a free spirit and does not care to be himself at all times of the day- this trouble making little boy at 4 yrs old got out of the family pool party to pee INTO the pool before dad quick ran over and turned him toward a bush. The bride and groom hope to see him bring the laughter with him on their big day.
Logan Jolicoeur
Usher
Logan is Elexis brother and if you know the two of them you know that they have had their fair share of fights and laughter. As growing up does to most siblings the two have become supper close and they would most likely say they are best friends. Logan comes to all of Zachs races to help with whatever he can and show him all his support. Logan and Elexis have gotten thru their share of ups and downs but only did it to come out on the other side because of the each other.
Jake Halderson
Usher
Jake is not only one of Zachs co-workers and the bosses son but one of Zachs good friends. He has pushed Zach to do some amazing things and keep him going on the job sites. Jake is one of the funniest people you will meet, an easy to way to explain his humor is the commonly said phrase "a blonde". Jake does not think before he speaks and most of the time speaks way to fast for other people to full understand what he says. The couple knows Jake will bring the party to the wedding and he wont disappoint.
Alicia Jolicoeur
Officiant
Alicia is Elexis' aunt who got ordained for a wedding in 2022. After spending time with Zach and Elexis in the hot tub, having game nights, supper or going trail riding she was the first one to truely welcome Zach to the family. The couple only felt it was right she be the one to truely welcome him in and make the couples love for each other official thru marriage.
