Wedding Party
Charlotte Anliker
Maid of Honor
Mary's Maid of Honor. Charlotte and Mary met in college at Valparaiso University. They were both taking a science class called geomorphology. They bonded over the study of classic knob and kettle topography. Oh, and the fact that both of their mom's held the theory that California is going to fall into the ocean one day. Now, they spend their time together obsessing over all things spooky. They are currently writing a petition to make Halloween something that happens every month.
Hannah Wentz
Maid of Honor
Jessie's Maid of Honor. Jessie and Hannah met in middle school and became best friends after creating a parody of "Matchmaker" from Fiddler on the Roof in a presentation about maps for their 7th grade social studies class. The two got their first jobs at Arby's and made the company millions with their Red Hat Hero Service.. Jessie and Hannah had a tear-filled goodbye in the Arby's parking lot when they left for rival colleges. Jessie had the privilege of being Hannah's Maid of Honor in her wedding in 2016, and said goodbye as Hannah moved across the country to Seattle, WA. Hannah is a gifted teacher, amazing baker, trusted listener, and best friend that anyone could want!
Kayla Belec
Bridesmaid
Mary's Bridesmaid. Kayla and Mary met freshman year of college. They lived across the hall from each other in the hallowed Alumni Hall. Kayla has been named the funniest person Mary has ever met and holds a trophy for this honor. When Kayla and Mary aren't reminiscing on their wild college days, you can find these two scouring the subtext of Taylor Swift songs.
Tracy Edelman
Bridesmaid
Jessie's Bridesmaid. Tracy is Jessie's cousin aka her sister from her daddy's brother. The second Tracy was born, Jessie decided she was her doll and wouldn't let her out of her sight. Through Thanksgivings at Grammy and Pop-Pop's, tailgates at Michigan State games, vacations at Avalon, and much more, the two became closer than cousins. They became best friends and sisters. Not only were Jessie and Tracy close, they were TALENTED. The two choreographed a family favorite number to Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive which led to many original songs: Grammy & Pop-Pop, Nubs, and many more. Tracy is an incredible nurse, loyal bird mom, and is the most positive person you'll ever meet.
Rebecca Houston
Bridesmaid
Mary's Bridesmaid & Sister. Rebecca and Mary met when Mary was a smooshed up newborn. Rebecca has seen Mary through all the most awkward stages of her life and has kept most embarrassing anecdotal stories to herself throughout the years. For this, Mary is eternally grateful. When Rebecca and Mary aren't trying to dig Abraham Lincoln up from the grave, you can find them sipping wine and getting pedicures together.
Anna Walter
Bridesmaid
Jess's Bridesmaid. Anna is one of Jess's longest friends. The two met when they were in elementary school at their church (RLC Girls forever!!) Anna and Jessie got really close during the middle school years through lots of pool and slumber parties. Anna moved away at the end of middle school. When she moved away, Jess wrote her a letter telling her that Anna was one of her angel's. That has remained true to this day. Anna and Jessie stayed close, and even lived together during college. When Jess started her first Masters program in Chicago, she would drive home a lot, breaking up the ~difficult~ 3 hour drive by staying at Anna's house for more slumber parties. Anna is a dedicated and patient ABA therapist, HILARIOUS, creative, and generous person.

Harper is one of Mary and Jess' flower girls. Mary had the privilege of spending every Friday with Harper for two years. Harper is everything good in the world. She is smart, sweet, and a great pizza chef!

Rev. Jason Glombicki
