Wedding Party

meet the people who have been great influences in our lives

Kate Fanta

Maid of Honor

Ever since Kate was born 17 years ago, she has been Mary's built in best friend. After "raising" Kate throughout the years, Mary and Kate have developed many similar interests like watching Harry Potter, scheming against the parents, and lots (and lots) of card games. There is no other person who gets Mary's jokes, movie references, and sense of humor quite like Kate. If you're up for a challenge, try to watch a Jeopardy episode with her, she's hard to beat!


Robert Koepsell

Best Man

Bobby and Raygen's friendship grew strong through many summers at the ballpark playing baseball together. Sharing many of the same interests, you can often find these two at a sporting event or a casino... Bobby is a friend that Raygen can call anytime, and no matter how long it's been, it always feels like it hasn't been long at all.

Lauren Kurkowski

Matron of Honor

Lauren is Mary's big (but littler) sister. She inspired Mary to pursue medicine and motivated her for success. A rockstar mom, doctor, wife, and sister, Lauren can quite literally, DO IT ALL. Mary hopes to be like her one day!


Carter Randall

Groomsman

Out of the 3 boys in the Randall family, Carter is the middle son. He was never scared to challenge Raygen in anything, and their competitiveness fed off each other (although it should be known that Carter has never defeated Raygen in a wrestling match). This competitiveness created an interesting relationship at times, but as the years went on, the unspoken love and respect of these brothers became clear.

Sawyer Kuechle

Bridesmaid

Mary met Sawyer her freshman year of college in an orientation class. One of Mary's first college friends, she stuck ever since (and even into grad school). Not only is Sawyer a great friend, she's also a hard worker, a coffee lover, and quite literally the life of the party. Some of Sawyer's greatest accomplishments are running a half marathon, a full marathon, and her ability to shot gun a beer in less than 5 seconds- try and beat her!


Parker Randall

Groomsman

Parker is the youngest of the 3 Randall boys. He and Raygen are very similar in personality, but physically, they couldn't be much different. This led to less competitiveness and more mentorship. Raygen was the genius behind many of Parker's numerous nicknames throughout the years (Raygen's favorite was "reek").

Brienne Fanta

Bridesmaid

Every family get-together ended with a sleepover with Brienne for as long as Mary can remember. Someone who is the kindest soul, dependable, and always down to Facetime, Brienne is a one-of-kind friend that Mary was so blessed to find in her cousin. Mary has SO many memories and life experiences with Brienne. Since age 10, Brienne has given makeup, boy, and music advice. From making pinterest boards about our wedding to it becoming a reality, Brienne is a forever friend.


Avery Feterl

Groomsman

"Fetty" also spent a lot of time on the baseball field with Raygen, but they also doubled as country neighbors growing up. Raygen loves hanging out with Fetty because you can guarantee yourself a good time and a heck of a story.

Tyra Johnson

Bridesmaid

Mary and Tyra met their freshman year of college and eventually became roommates. Tyra taught Mary that girls can hunt and fish and still wear a leather jacket and pink. Many deep cleaning sessions, walks, and Ron peach waters elicited this friendship to grow. Their conversations quickly evolved from college chemistry problems and weekend party plans to talking about Tyra's job as an ER nurse and Mary's experience on rotations.


Bailey Sage

Groomsman

Bailey and Raygen became roommates at "Two Twenty Fun" in their junior year of college at SDSU. Sharing a love for baseball and a general interest in sports, these two always had something to talk about. After being roommates for almost 4 years at this point, they have a multitude of inside jokes that cannot be listed here.

Nykki Husman

Bridesmaid

Nykki and Mary had humble beginnings on the volleyball court their sophomore and junior year where they grew close through trauma bonding during the losing season. Nykki's a girl who is always down to have a good time and you will most definitely see her on the dance floor, with a beer in her hand, singing to Miranda Lambert. She's a fun, loving, hype-woman everyone needs in their life.


Jake Dowling

Groomsman

Raygen credits Jake with being the "Cupid" who set him and Mary up. Jake and Raygen met during move-in weekend at SDSU, both being situated on the first floor in Young Hall. Quickly, Jake became one of those guys that Raygen could rely on, and plenty of Taco Bell runs ensued.
