Best Man
Lucas has always been someone I've looked up to. My big and only brother. I cherish the many fun and enjoyable memories we've had growing up. From playing outside together, hunting up north at our grandma and grandpa's land, chasing practically anything we could, or simply grinding out the latest video game like a bunch of nerds. He's always been the guy I go to for asking questions and for advice. and I can't wait to continue the next chapter of my life with him by my side. Love ya bro.
Maid of Honor
My sweet Jo Jo! We met on the school bus and have been best friends since the 6th grade. Zara has been my soulmate best friend for a very long time. She tragically moved away from me in the 8th grade, but our friendship has never faded. We have cried, we have shared great joy, we have gotten into our silly arguments and we have always ran to each other with anything great or small. Nobody knows every detail of my life like this girl does.
Groomsman
Maxwell, I can remember the first time we met in elementary school. We hit it off like two good ol boys up to no good. We've had some fun and laughable memories along the way. I can truly say Max is my number #1 buddy especially that I can count on for fishing (even over my dad ;) ). We've built a strong bond and friendship that will last forever, and I can't wait to chase more memories with him.
Matron of Honor
Asheeta - My 'big sister!' Asha and I have known each other for our entire lives. Our parents have been friends since high school and also stood up in each others weddings! Asha has always been like a big sister to me. Through many, many years of dance, monthly dinners with our parents, college and college dance, we have been so close. Anytime I needed anything, I knew Asha would be there. She has always been an inspiration to me and a very special person who just understands me.
Groomsman
Rexy, Man oh man, I had no idea what I was getting into when I signed that lease my sophomore year in college. I can honestly say that even though we lived in a dump, it sure was worth it. From playing college ball together, hunting, and yes, can't forget, the Thirsty Thursdays we would go out for those pitcher deals at the Buck. I never knew someone who could sing ABBA so well until I met Rex. I don't think I would've survived college without Rex. Like my brother, he always has good life advice, expect for your hunting advice ;). I'll always remember the little memories of cooking at the house, cleaning up after our roommates, and helping Rex dress for job interviews. Thanks for being real ;).
Bridesmaid
Morgie Dorgie! Morgan is my soon to be sister-in-law and is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. You can typically catch Morgan and I running to target, getting lunch together or just hanging out with Beaux together! I am so very blessed to be gaining a sister like Morgan - She is always there when I need a helping hand!
Groomsman
Spinner, I was pretty speechless the first time I met him. Merideth did give me a fair warning that her family is crazy, but I never expected anyone to break down and put on a show of some unique dance positions. Spencer has always welcomed me into the family like I could have never imaged. His humor and intelligence is unmatched. I am glad though he can stop calling me Merideth's "baby daddy" and now brother-in-law. Thanks for being a cool uncle and now a new brother-in-law.
Bridesmaid
Sammi Wammi! Sam has been my sister-in-law since July of 2022, but has been in my life for the last 9 years! Sam has gone through many things with my family - she has been my big sister for most of those years. She has always supported me through everything and I will forever be grateful to have her by my side. She is a great role model that I have always looked up to.
Groomsman
Benson, we've built quite the bromance in our four years at Stout. He is probably the craziest man I know. We've had some great memories chasing geese and ducks around Menomonie on little to no sleep. I still will always remember the time when he decided to end our limit by tackling a goose in our decoy spread. Thanks for making me laugh and thanks for being a great friend.
Bridesmaid
Marimba - my go to gal pal! Marina and I have been friends since the 4th grade and we have always been close. We have done so many fun things together like travel to Chicago and New York. Not to mention, we also used to eat a hefty order of McDonald's together before every ice show she was in! We also had the privilege of dancing together for 4 years! We have so many fun memories together and I love the relationship we have continued to grow into our adult years!
Groomsman
Jamo, he has always been a good buddy. We've had some very fun memories throughout the years. From our time "working" at Gander, to golfing, and fishing together on the ice. He's always been a straight shooter and meaningful dude. His sense of humor can always put a smile on someone's face. One of my favorite memories together is chasing crappies up north slamming latte's and redbulls on the ice and jamming to to Eddie Rabbit on the JBL. Thanks for being the real and true guy you are.
Bridesmaid
Meet Flaves - the girl from the how I met Marcus story! Ava is one of the best friends a girl could ask for. She is always there when I need her - quite literally. If I need someone to talk to while I clean my house, she's there! If I need to grocery shop without Marcus, she's there! We have been friends since high school, but also went to college together. She helped me with Beaux many days of my college journey and I will forever be grateful for her.
Junior Groomsman
Leo is Mer's younger cousin! She knows him best so I'll have her take this one! 'I had the honor of babysitting Leo over many summers! Leo is one of the smartest kids I have ever met! Need a computer fixed? He can do it! He is so much fun and I love that I got to have a close relationship with him when he was young - he's growing up too fast!’
Junior Bridesmaid
Little miss Nola! With Leo, I also got to babysit Nola for many summers and I also got to dance with Nola at our dance studio! It was so exciting to get to watch her blossom over the past many years and I can't wait to see where she goes in life! Just like Leo, she's growing up too fast!
Usher
Andrew, not many ducks can make it past us. He has been a great friend through high school and college. We've had some fun adventures chasing fish and ducks. A fun memory I have is when Andrew practically went skinny dipping for a duck in a little pond. He probably thought I was crazy when I took him onto Lake Pepin for the first time in three foot rollers in our sixteen foot boat (we survived!). He's always been a fun guy to be around and I'm glad I can call him a good friend.
Bride Concierge
Sweet, spunky Ding Dong - You read that right! Miranda and I have called each other ding dong since our high school days after a misunderstanding from the movie 'Inside Out.' Miranda and I have been friends since the 3rd grade! Although we didn't start off as close in our younger ages, we grew very close in high school. Miranda has always been a great friend of mine and I couldn't think of anyone better to be my 'assistant' through this wedding. Miranda is honest, forward and just the girl I need during this special time. Not to mention, she is a nurse!
Usher
Matt, I remember the first time we went hunting together. I thought I was a hardcore waterfowl hunter until I met Matt. He has a passion like no other person I've met. We've had some fun and crazy memories around Menomonie whether it was chasing ducks and geese, or having a few too many to drink in Menomonie. He has been a true friend and a guy I can talk to almost anytime. I appreciate our friendship we've built and I can wait to chase more ducks and geese in the years to come.
Flower Girls
Jorie and Tillie are my sweet little cousins who have my permission to steal the show with how cute they are! I know they will make the aisle perfect before I make my way down to Marcus!
Ring Bearer
Our sweet Beaux! We absolutely couldn't say 'I Do' without our little Beaux Bear! He will definitely clear the way for his mama to walk to his dada... Hopefully he makes it to his destination with the rings!
