Wedding Party
Payton Smoyer
Maid of Honor
My wonderful baby sister, I can't even begin to explain how much Payton means to me. Even when we were younger and didn't always get along, I knew that my sister would be by my side for every little thing in my life. I am so incredibly proud of the young woman she is becoming. I can't believe how grown up she is, even graduating high school this year! She is the most beautiful, kind, funny, God-fearing, and overall amazing girl I know. Thank you to my little sister for being the rock in my life. You are truly treasured. There isn't anyone I'd rather have by my side for this special day.
Jacob Russell
Best Man
The Man, the Myth, the Legend. Jacob and I have been through thick and thin. When we were growing up he could be a pain in the butt, but even though we fought and argued, he’s always been a great little brother. I’m so proud to see him mature through the years and become the man he is today!
Raquel Tenbrink
Bridesmaid
I have been best friends with Raquel ever since I can remember! We met in Kindergarten and stayed best friends throughout our lives. While we are both in different states and busy with our own situations, we both know we are always there for each other. Thank you, Raquel, for always being there for me and getting me through every bit of school. I don't know what I would have done without my bestie. I am so grateful to still have you standing by me to this day.
Levi Russell
Groomsman
Levi has always been the chill guy. He’s been the good kid of the family so to say, and probably the smartest of us. He’s the most selfless and sweet person that I know, besides my beautiful bride to be. Levi showed me video games, me and him always battle for who is better at every game. I’ve got Mario Kart and Rainbow Six Siege on him, otherwise every other game he beats me. I love him so much!
Carli Frevert
Bridesmaid
I met Carli in cosmetology school and I am so happy that I did! Carli has such an amazing personality, she was always so much fun to be around and she has always been able to make everyone laugh. I am so grateful that Carli, Makenna, Hannah, and I have stuck together after cosmetology school because they are such wonderful friends to have.
Joseph Russell
Groomsman
Joseph is the most competitive person I know. He’s competitive in baseball, golfing or even ping pong. I love that no matter what he is always there to be the best. As a teenager, I would combat with my brothers all the time, and he was the first person to say “don’t retaliate”. He always kept me in check and I love him for that. He has helped me be the patient and kind man I am today. I love you lil bro.
Makenna Baird
Bridesmaid
Makenna was the first of the three that I noticed in cosmetology school because she had the cutest short blonde hair! She (and the other 3 of us) started school with blonde hair! We all came out brunette! Although Carli did get back to the blonde. Anyways, Makenna is such a great friend, she is genuinely so funny and so so sweet. I am so blessed to have a friend like Makenna!!
Logan Myers
Groomsman
Logen is the oldest cousin on my dad’s side of the family. He has always been a calm and collected person. I thank him for all of the amazing and fun memories we had at family gatherings. I’m so glad to call him a friend, cousin, and now groomsman. I love you brother.
Hannah Quick
Bridesmaid
Hannah is another amazing friend from cosmetology school. I have always admired Hannah's ability to say what she needs to say and the way she is always so genuine to everyone around her. Like the other two, she is so funny and can always make us laugh. I am so grateful to have Hannie in my life!
Blake Burner
Groomsman
Blake is my cousin Carly’s boyfriend, and hopefully husband in the near future. I’m so glad to have him as part of the family. He’s always been the funniest and goofiest of the MOD squad. I can’t wait to party with him on all of the future fishing trips. Love you brother.
Brooklin Hall
Bridesmaid
Brooklin and I have been best friends since the day she forced me to join hair and makeup for the Park Hill South production of Annie. She is such an amazing friend and person and if it weren't for her I probably never would have started a career in hair. Even with Brooklin all the way in Springfield, we have stayed besties since we were teenagers! I was even the Maid of Honor in Brooklin's wedding last year to another great friend of ours, Sean. She has been there for me through so much and I am just so grateful to have her in my life.
