Matron of Honor, Sister of the Bride
Sister of the bride, best friend since birth, matron of honor ... you get the idea. Hallie has been there for Mattie since 1993, and I'm so thankful for a sister that doubles as a best friend. Catch us telling inside jokes you won't understand and laughing 'til our cheeks hurt. She's the best boy + dog mom, and one of the only moms who can close the dance floor with the "worm."
Bridesmaid, Sister of the Groom
Mike's oldest sister and one of our biggest supporters! Molly has been an important part of our relationship from day one and we’re so thankful to have her big sister advice when we need it most! She's the mom to our cutest niece ever - she's not a regular mom, she’s a cool mom. We couldn't imagine our day without Molly by our side!
Bridesmaid, Sister of the Groom
Mike's twin sister, Shannon, was with Mike the day he met Mattie on the plane, so it only makes sense she's at our side on our special day. She's the ring leader of the Kelsea Ballerini fan club and be sure to catch her on the dance floor - she's been prepping her dance moves since our engagement.
Bridesmaid, Sister of the Groom
As Mike's youngest sister, she's trendy and fun - hanging out with her makes us way cooler than we really are. Meg’s a senior at The Ohio State University and keeps us all young. She’s such a special part of our lives and we're so thankful she's by our side!
Bridesmaid, Friend of the Bride
One of Mattie's childhood friends, she and "Dizz" go way back. She's the biggest Minnesota Vikings fan you'll meet (catch her chanting “SKOL” at least once throughout the night). She’s a future DNP who is smart, loyal and caring - the truest of friends and our friendship only grows stronger with time!
Bridesmaid, Friend of the Bride
Besties since fourth grade, Megan has been at Mattie's side for quite some time. She's always down for an adventure and a good time - I'm so thankful for our memories together! Ps. You won’t be the only one seeing double on the dance floor; it’s just her twin sister, Tasha.
Bridesmaid, Friend of the Bride
A childhood friend since elementary school, Tash has been at my side for a long ride, and our friendship only grows stronger with time. She's as loyal as they come and she'll keep you laughing 'til your cheeks hurt! Ps. You won’t be the only one seeing double on the dance floor; it’s just her twin sister, Megan.
Bridesmaid, Friend of the Bride
As a childhood friend, Hailey has been at Mattie's side since the beginning. She's a boy mom to the sweetest little boy, Weston, and dog mom to Harper. She's a caring nurse and cares for her friends even harder! She's a true friend for life, and I'm so grateful to have her at my side.
Bridesmaid, Friend of the Bride
One of Mattie's college friends, Leah is the friend you can always count on to say "yes” to a good time. She’s a proud ENFP who can tell you every fun fact about the Minnesota State Fair. Strangers are simply friends she hasn’t yet met and that’s one of the many reasons Mattie adores her!
Bridesmaid, Friend of the Bride
Everyone got Ellen and Mattie confused in college as “the two tall brunettes frolicking frat row on Gopher gamedays, stuck at the hip.” She's been my partner in crime since college and is that loyal friend everyone needs at their side. Keep an eye out for her leg kicks making an appearance on the dance floor!

Flower Girl, Niece of the Groom
The newest addition to the Karlan/Ahearn squad, we knew baby Caroline was going to be our flower girl before she was born and had a name. She'll be 7 months old at the wedding and she's as sweet as can be! We're so lucky to be her aunt and uncle, and yes, we're okay with her stealing the show.
Ring Bearer, Nephew of the Bride
Baby Benjamin is the cutest nephew we could have ever asked for (!!!!) and was destined to be our ring bearer from the day he was born. At just 9 months old in February, we hope he'll make time for us to get the ring down the aisle in between eating and sleeping. We love him to pieces!
