Maid of Honor
Marlena and Lydia were set up as random roommates for their study abroad in Valencia, Spain. They spent a semester gallivanting through Spain where they both fell in love with the culture and country. They became amigas de alma, and the rest is history! After their semester abroad, they went back to their homes, North Dakota, and Wisconsin, graduated college, and then applied for and accepted the same job, packed up, moved to Kansas City, and lived together for five years. Nine years later, Marlena and Lydia are still a package deal. Marlena, I love you so much! Thank you for being part of our special day! Hasta siempre, Lydia
Match Maker of Honor
Alex DeMarais is married to Lydia's brother Sam. She is the incredible mother to Lydia's niece and nephew. She's the best sister-in-law anyone could ask for. She is also a matchmaker extraordinaire! Alex met Kevin, scoped him out, asked him if wanted to meet her sister-in-law who was just moving back to Fargo... and that's that! She gave Kevin Lydia's number, they went on a date, and here we are today, two years later at their wedding! We are endlessly grateful for Alex, and fate for bringing us together! Alex, Thank you for being with us on this important day! You're the sister I always wanted. We love you and your family! Love, Lydia
Bridesmaid
Jayne and Lydia met in the 4th grade at Longfellow Elementary. They went to junior high, high school, and NDSU together. Over the last twenty years, they have spent countless hours together, traveled, laughed, and gone through so much life together! Jayne is a friend you can always rely on, she's generous and thoughtful, and always down to do whatever you ask her to! Lydia and Jayne both grew up in North Fargo, and life has come full circle as they once again live two blocks from each other in North Fargo! Jayne, I'm honored to have you by my side on this special day! We love you guys so much! Love, Lydia
Best Man
Jeremy is Kevin's cousin who he didn't really know until he moved to Omaha, Nebraska. They reconnected as adults during a road trip to a cousin's wedding in North Dakota and during the 12 hour drive they realized they had a lot in common and became great friends. Over the next 10 years, Kevin made many trips to KC, and the lake of the Ozarks to spend time with his "southern" family. Kevin and Jeremy enjoy getting overly competitive in yard games, talking about boats, the stock market, and finding the right xBox party to join. Thanks for being part of our wedding day! Love you cousin.
Groomsman
Casey is Kevin's middle older brother, he's three years older so they spent a lot of time together growing up. Most of their time was spent going to the lake, hockey trips, and Casey making Kevin cry. Now as adults, they still spend their time going to the lake, playing hockey, and on road trips to visit Ryan, but Casey no longer makes Kevin cry. Thanks for being part of our wedding day! Love you brother.
Groomsman
Ryan is Kevin's oldest brother. Over the last several years, Ryan and Kevin have gone on many camping and motorcycling trips in Utah, Montana, Colorado, and Wyoming. They always have a great time when they are together, camping, talking cars, motorcycles, and boats. Thanks for being part of our wedding day! Love you brother.
Flower Girl
Irene is Lydia's (and now Kevin's) adorable, funny, wildly smart four-year old niece! We love living so near to her to watch her grow into such a sweet little girl! We love you, Irene! Love, Lydia & Kevin
Ring Bearer
Leo is Lydia's (and now Kevin's) one-year old nephew! Baby Leo is growing up so fast! It's such a joy to live nearby and see him often! We love you, Leo! Love, Lydia & Kevin
