Lucas & Marisa
Wedding Party
Mara Keene
Matron of Honor
Bestie for the restie! Inseparable since childhood, they’ve seen each other through every season of life with no end in sight. There’s not enough characters in this little bio to tell all the stories or capture the greatness of love. But there is enough room to mention, Mara is also the best mama to Marisa’s God son- Roscoe :)
Laurel Safreed
Maid of Honor
Real 100% certified sister of the bride, we think…they look nothing alike. She got her thrifting skills from our mama, Marisa’s Junkstock buddy for life, and she has a voice that’ll bring ya to tears. Fun fact- she actually took voice lessons with Morgan as a kid!
Mackenzie Day
Bridesmaid
A sister from another mister, sandwich queen, and the best hype woman a girl could ask for. She actually might be more excited about this wedding than anyone. Obsessed with her when she’s here and miss her like crazy when she’s away ( in a temporary far off land called California )
Taylor Losole
Bridesmaid
Never met a hot dog she didn’t like, Marisa’s event planning partner for life, fanciest girl you’ll ever meet, and would give a stranger the shirt off her back if they needed it. She literally saves lives as a doctor, and we couldn’t imagine ours without her (and Steve) in it!
Lisa Atwell
Bridesmaid
They bonded over their love of SVU and never looked back. DUN DUN. Always down to get chips and queso and notable aioli fanatic. She cried when Marisa asked her to be in the wedding because that’s who she is, just a girl who loves big…and then goes home to be in bed by 9.
Kristen Stehno
Bridesmaid
Marisa and Kristen’s friendship was formed out of their love for food, but their fondness for Vala’s, pursuit of Jesus, and ability to not annoy each other kept em going strong long after their careers took them separate ways!
Nikki Prothero
Bridesmaid
Possibly the kindest person you’ll ever meet, who also has some of the most unexpected comebacks. Nikki is generous, sassy, and can’t say no to ice cream. She’s the least interested in food of any of Marisa’s friends-but she’s slowly coming around, and we love her for that!
Morgan Milliken
Officiant
So many things to say about this one…and she’d roll her eyes at all of them because she’s terrible at accepting compliments! To know her is to love her. Pastor, friend, encourager, keeps us honest, big snack girl, and pipes that’ll give Aretha a run for her money. Nobody else we’d be more honored to have bringing us together in marriage!
Matthew Croonquist
Best Man
Oldest brother with the youngest brother energy, fatty in a health coach body, and will absolutely give the longest speech at the wedding. We love his tender heart and silly faces for baby Scottie’s entertainment!
Zachary Croonquist
Groomsman
Middle brother with oldest brother energy, everyone’s handy man, and keeps a little more money in our pockets by knowing how to get the best deals on just about anything. Plus, he helped in making our best girl Dottie and Luke’s God daughter Noelle!
Brandon Kathol
Groomsman
Luke and Brandon have known each other longer than any of his friends, possibly due to what we’ll call their “laid back” approach to things (aka the girls make the plans). Gif making master, genuinely one of the most interesting and strange people we call a friend, and dad of one of our favorites, Collins!
Jarod Adams
Groomsman
Luke’s former room mate who has let us continue using his furniture long after he’s moved out- thank you for your service. Not to mention a new dad and husband himself…and he’s like 5 years younger than us, so that’s pretty impressive!
Nick Vander Vorst
Groomsman
Friends since childhood and fellow pizza enthusiast. Don’t ask him what he thinks of how the Huskers are playing…it’s complicated. Takes his fresh Christmas trees very seriously, and knows the best daily restaurant specials.
Marcus Leichner
Groomsman
The honorary fourth Croonquist brother. Marcus is at many family gatherings and always adds some spice to any convo. He’s also the most tanned person in any setting and there’s a good possibility his shirt will come off at the wedding.
