Madison & Devin
Wedding Party
Jordan Knesek
Maid of Honor
Jordan is Madison's sister by blood and best friend by choice! As sisters you love, laugh, and have the occasional argument, but more importantly you always have someone on your side cheering you on. Jordan and Madison are three years a part to the exact day (September 25th) Madison always reminds Jordan that she was the best gift she ever got on her third birthday! Jordan has been and will always be the biggest role model in Madison's life. She excels at many things in life and is the best advice giver. As little girls Jordan and Madison would play dress up trying on beautiful dresses while having tea parties. They cannot wait to stand by each others side on New Years Eve wearing beautiful dresses and celebrating with a big tea party!
Halie Mercer
Bridesmaid
Halie is Devin's little sister and our junior bridesmaid. She is never afraid to admit that Devin is her favorite brother. While she always says what's on her mind (although often without thinking) she has the biggest heart and will always go the extra mile to help out. Halie and Madison first met in New York City when Devin and Madison were working there. Since then, you will forever find Halie and Madison ganging up on the boys and taking each others sides! Halie is constantly giving, especially when Devin and Madison visit she never hesitates to give up her room for them to sleep in. Madison is very excited to have Halie as a little sister!
Allison Frerichs/Grimes
Bridesmaid
Allie and Maddy have been "sisters" since diapers! They have played dress up, gone to hundreds of dances, and have experienced life together. Now, they are planning their weddings together and having so much fun talking for hours everyday! Imagine the movie Bride Wars, but without the wars haha! Allison and Maddy have always been inseparable through church, A&M events, cheer and more. Allison is such an amazing Godly woman who always puts the well being of others first. She has such an infectious smile and the world could use a lot more of Allies in it!
Eli Meyer
Bridesmaid
Eli and Maddy met junior year of college as roommates! Even though their rooms were right across the hall from each other you would more than likely find them having lots of sleepovers and staying up late usually talking about Devin! Eli is a one of a kind friend who has always been there for Maddy giving advice, love, and lots of late night talks. She is such a good listener and always helps Maddy figure out life haha! Eli has a heart of gold and if anything, you will probably witness Eli and Maddy crying a lot on New Years Eve!
Rebecca Proske
Bridesmaid
Becca and Maddy are childhood best friends who grew up loving sports, working out, and hanging out by the pool! They are also both obsessed with food and constantly send each other recipes (hopefully they'll be healthy ones before the wedding lol) Becca and Maddy will probably be those old little ladies one day that call each other up and talk for hours! (Because that's what they do now haha) No matter what it is, Becca will always be there for all the big and small moments. She keeps Maddy on track and continues to have Jesus as their foundation of their friendship!
Liddy Schoelman
Bridesmaid
Liddy and Maddy met freshmen year of college through their organization MSC Fish. They were in the same "family" and soon found out that they might as well have been sisters! A couple of years later Liddy and Maddy were roommates and needless to say have been through everything and more. If your'e looking for a jovial time Liddy is your gal! She has the most gentle heart and will be there for you through thick and thin. Her soul is as kind as you could imagine and she is such a blessing to be around!
Breanna Homer/Johnson
Bridesmaid
Breezy and Maddy have been best of friends since kindergarten! Although they were in a lot of the same classes throughout grade school, you would probably recognize them on the volleyball court or softball field. They were always known as the twin towers and were partners in crime through it all! Friends like Breezy don't come that often who support you know matter what and love you endlessly. Nothing can stand in the way of this friendship because if you get one, you get both. Breezy is also planning a wedding so if you try to call Maddy she's probably talking wedding cake to her girlfriend!
Tami Weinlet
Bridesmaid
Tami is our Queen B tea party darling! She is the oldest of the fab five and she is very protective over her girls. She is a beautiful mother to our sweet little Maggie, who is the flower girl in the wedding! Madison and Tami share a special bond by both being Mommies and you will find them constantly texting about sleeping, fevers, and the occasional going crazy! Tami always goes the extra mile for anyone and everything. She is a go getter and never gives up. She is a middle school teacher, which should say a lot about her patience and love for kids!
Hannah Bourg
Bridesmaid
Hannah was the very first person Maddy met in College. They were both in Gateway (A freshmen summer school program through A&M) and they had hosted a dinner one evening. Maddy had walked into the ball room of about 2,000 freshmen and noticed a cute little blonde sitting alone... the rest was history! Through Delta Gamma and soon becoming roommates, Hannah and Maddy became the best of friends. She is such a solid rock in their friendship and couldn't be a better example for all. She loves the Lord with all her heart and cares for everyone she meets!
Tirah Kensinger
Bridesmaid
Tirah is one of the fab five tea party darlings! She is third in line to the throne. Although, I'm not too sure her sister Tami will give it away. Tirah is also a part of Madison's Dad's middle child club and she definitely fits the role as she is the glue to our crazy fun family and keeps us together.... sometimes;) Tirah and Troy (one of Devin's groomsmen) are married and are not only considered family to Madison and Devin, but also very close friends! Tirah is always there for you with an open heart and ears. If you ever need to call someone to talk about anything and everything she's your gal!
Tannah Brister
Bridesmaid
Tannah is our last, but definitely not least tea party darling! She has grown up to be such an amazing beautiful woman inside and out. Tannah is studying to become a nurse, which we all know is a career you get into if you are patient, kind, and have a tremendous amount of love to give. She is the most selfless person and the best with little ones. Hudson and Maggie are always drawn to Tannah as she spoils them every moment she gets! Tannah may be getting older, but we will always think of her as our baby girl!
Magdalena Weinelt
Flower Girl
Maggie is our sweet little flower girl! She is the daughter of Klaus and Tami Weinelt. She turned one in August and is growing so fast. Maggie has taken her first steps and come December she may be running down the isle. She is as cute as button and has such a radiant smile that will make you want to squeeze her little cheeks. Hudson and Maggie are 15 months a part and they already play like brother and sister.
Hudson Mercer
Ring Bearer
If you didn't already know... Hudson is Madison and Devin's precious little two year old boy! He is the light of their lives and always brings such joy into their everyday. Madison and Devin are so excited to have Hudson be apart of their big day and for him to see Mommy & Daddy unify their relationship as one. If you have ever spent a couple of seconds with Hudson you know how much he loves cars, planes, trains, and moo cows! He's your typical boy! Madison and Devin can't wait to show Hudson what it's like to love and be loved by one another and to be role models throughout Hudson's life as their parents are to them.
Case D'Herde
Best Man
The myth, the legend, the Best Man! Case "High Flying" D'Herde and Devin have been inseparable since the beginning. From going to camp together since grade school to literally climbing mountains, it would take days to cover all the stories the two have. As the street smarts of the duo Case has saved the day more times than Devin would admit, although more often than not it's when they need saving from Case's own doings. Case reserved his spot as best man by always being there when Devin needed him and continuing to be one of the most dependable friends he knows.
Logan Mercer
Groomsman
The luckiest of the bunch. Logan "Devin 0.5" Mercer has the privilege of being Devin's little brother. Devin has been imparting his wisdom upon on him since birth. Ever competitive the two try to outdo each other at everything (though Logan is always unsuccessful). Logan has been and continues to be a great little brother and uncle to Hudson. Hudson can through a ball a mile and has Logan to thank for that. Where ever he goes Logan is always willing to help and is a role model to those around him. While he has Devin to thank for making him so great Logan is a blessing as a little brother and Devin is thankful for him every day.
Drew Lee
Groomsman
The Godfather himself.... Mr. Drew Lee. The one that Devin and Madison owe this special day to! Drew "The Godfather" Lee and Madison were in a freshmen organization together and Devin and Drew were roommates all of college. Before freshmen year winter break Drew asked Madison to come over and hang out. Little did she know that Drew had already told Devin about Madison and for him to go meet her... The rest is well history;) The two fell in love, had a beautiful baby, and now are tying the knot! Drew is such an amazing friend to both Devin and Madison as he is the best Godfather to their sweet Hudson. They are both very blessed to have such a wonderful friend stand by their side and also witness all of his work pay off;)
Mitchell Bausch
Groomsman
Mitchell "Big Spender" Bausch is a part of what Madison calls the guys, "The Fab Five!" He and Devin were roommates throughout college and like all the other guys stays inseparable from the pack. Mitchell is such a loyal friend as he has made all the birthdays, baptism, graduations, and the occasional get together. Devin and Mitchell bond over many things including Game of Thrones and John Oliver. Mitchell is always there for you and has spent many nights with both Devin and Madison talking about life and giving great advice!
Jacob King
Groomsman
Jacob "Grandpa" King is another member of The Fab Five and was also Devin's roommate throughout college. Out of all of the five guys, Jacob is probably considered the older more mature one. He is an elder man at heart, but a heart of gold at that! They say that after college when you get married, begin a family, or move away you tend to lose touch with those you were close to back in the good ole days... but not with Jacob around! He cherishes this special bond between the guys and their significant others and if he has anything to do with it he will never let them grow apart!
Michael Corsi
Groomsman
Michael "Glow-In-The-Dark" Corsi, also apart of The Fab Five and became roommates with Devin and the guys senior year but oh does he make up for the time! Michael is such a goofy fun loving guy to be around and if you're wanting to have an amazing time on the dance floor at the wedding Michael is your guy. He livens up any party and includes everyone and anyone (So if you're not dancing... watch out he may come get ya!) Throughout college if you ever needed a warm hug or just someone to play super smash with Michael was your go to! His life motto is, "Keep your smile going" and anyone who knows Michael can for sure agree that he lives everyday with a smile on his face!
Troy Kensinger
Groomsman
Troy "All-Knowing" Kensinger is Madison's Cousin-In-Love, but truth be told we all believe that him and Devin are more in love! Troy is married to Tirah (Madison's first cousin) and has been around the family for quite sometime. Whenever Devin and Troy met it was almost as if it was love at first site. Troy and Devin bond over many things such as the stock market and where to invest their money! You won't catch Tirah and Madison joining in that conversation;) Troy is for sure the life of the party! He loves spending time with the guys and is always looking to have a good time!
Pearson Garnett
Groomsman
Pearson "No Laws" Garnett and Devin met in college and began working together this past year. Needless to say their friendship grew very quickly. As the work wife of the groom, Pearson and Devin have grown close while adapting to the struggles of the working world. Always teetering on the edge of serious and silly, Pearson knows when its time to get down to business and when its time to let loose. No matter what you always know you are going to have a good time when Pearson is around.
Henry Chase
Groomsman
Henry "Chaz" Chase and Devin have known each other since grade school and grew up playing football and baseball together. They have played on both the same and opposite sides of the ball and despite their competitive nature have grown closer together through it. From the old stomping grounds and through college Chaz and Devin have made it through relatively unscathed. They've seen it all and have a thousand stories to prove it. Chaz will be the easiest to spot as he keeps the energy levels high where ever he goes. No matter where he is Chaz always has a smile on and when necessary, is ready to bring the party!
Adam Contreras
Groomsman
As another of one of Devin's oldest friends Adam "Daddy Day-Care" Contreras and Devin have been through it all. Legend has it Adam and Devin grew up playing NCAA together before team dinners (among other shenanigans) and to this day Devin still remains undefeated. From grade school through college and recently into fatherhood, Adam and Devin have found a way to stick together. Since their experiences have been so closely linked they have been a sounding board for each other and always able to share advice. While he may think he's the wisest of the bunch every now and then Adam may admittedly have a good nugget of advice.
