Katie Pepera

Bridesmaid

Best friend from, everywhere. We met when we were 4 when Katie moved to Baudette and came to my mom's home daycare! We became good friends and stayed that way all through grade school, especially bonding over our love for painting. We both went on to attend Concordia in Moorhead with an art major. After moving to Colorado, Katie would visit me and eventually moved there as her home base for her job as a flight attendant! She now lives with her boyfriend Owen in Charleston, SC.

Tayler Vatnsdal

Bridesmaid

Tayler is my best friend from college. We quickly became friends at Concordia freshman year. We've gone on spring break together, watched countless hours of not very good tv shows in our dorm rooms until late hours, and been to many house parties and nights out together. We lived together senior year holding down the basement of our college house and are still best friends. Tayler lives in Fergus Falls, MN.

Deanna Block

Bridesmaid

My friend from high school and beyond. Deanna and I have been friends since we were tiny tots. We would always have the craziest ideas of things to play and never had a dull moment. Although De lives in Baudette with her beautiful family hours away from me, we always pick up right where we left off. We've become even closer over the years bonding over our creative pursuits.

Holland Slick

Bridesmaid

My friend from high school, college and beyond. Our friendship took off during all the late night and early morning volleyball practices, games and tournaments growing up. On a whim Junior year of college, I asked Holland to live with my sister Jordan and I even though we were students at Concordia and Holland was going to NDSU at the time. Sure enough, she moved in and it was like she became our 4th sister that year! I sadly left them for the semester to study abroad, but it led her and Jordan to become even closer.
