Kim & Max
Wedding Party
Stephanie Russell
Matron of Honor
The best big sister a girl could ever ask for! Stephanie has been my biggest supporter and cheerleader from day one. Stephanie wanted a little sister so badly and thinks that she got lucky when I was born, but little does she know that I'm actually the lucky one cause I got the coolest big sister out there without even asking for one! She always knows how to make me feel better and is one of the goofiest people I know. She has always been very protective of me, and I wouldn't be the person I am today without her.
Charlie Heine
Best Man
Max has known the big man Chuck for over 21 years. He's all right. Actually, he's great. Being the closest in age, skill, and girth out of all the Heine brothers Max and Charles were naturally competitve. Fortunately (for Max) as they grew older their competition grew to genuine respect and love. Max is so happy to have Charlie as his best man.
Lauren Kess
Bridesmaid
Lauren and I met when we were 10 at the Columbus congregation and she hasn't been able to get rid of me since! We have shared so many special memories throughout the year from countless sleepovers, camp, prom, and graduation. She's the type of person that will watch the Lion King 1 and 1/2 with you and eat cookie dough till 2:00 am or dress up as a singing vegetable to do a talent show with you. She has been by my side through all of life's ups and downs and I couldn't imagine my wedding without her by my side.
Steve Heine
Groomsman
Steve is Max's older brother, a great one at that. In their younger years, Steve was the brains of the operation, determining the daily adventure or games. As they got older Max and Steve almost always joined in on the same endeavors, goals, and hobbies, and share many interests today. Max is incredibly grateful for Steve's example and support all throughout his life.
Caroline White
Bridesmaid
While Caroline initially resented the fact that I was born because I took away Stephanie's attention, Caroline soon learned to love me :) I have always admired Caroline's kindness and heart and have been so blessed to have her joy and influence in my life. She has been like another older sister to me, and I'm so blessed to get to call her my friend.
Jake Heine
Groomsman
Jake is undeniably the coolest and best looking Heine brother. Unfortunately he is also the youngest and a bit of a goober. Having Jake around always guarentees it will be a good time.
Sophie Pebworth
Bridesmaid
Sophie's and my friendship blossomed when we both attended Ambassador Bible College in the year 2020. I can always depend on Sophie to laugh with me over silly things, share wise advice with me, challenge me, and encourage me to be the best version of myself. We shared late nights in the Klondyke kitchen and a canoe and tent for a week in the Boundary Waters Wilderness Area. She is a great adventure buddy and you just can't help but smile when you're with Sophie :)
Brendon Brady
Groomsman
Max and Brendon (aka Big B) met working on the orientation team at Utah state. He is a stalwart friend with a great taste in music and has lent Max many books to read over the years (some of which Max still needs to return)
Emily Ferrier
Bridesmaid
Emily and I met at camp Hye Sierra when we were 12 years old. (Embarrassing side note: I forgot Emily's name the next year we saw each other at camp) She was goofy and fun and always made camp a blast! I also saw Emily as my biggest competition in sports and was determined to win even though I never really even had a chance cause she's so talented! As we got older Emily and I stayed close and our friendship grew deeper. I am so thankful for her friendship in my life and her ability to have fun but also talk about the deep things in life with me. She's a keeper!
Lukas Lehman
Groomsman
Max and Lukas met through their fraternity at Utah State. A statistics major like Max, they shared many classes together and were housemates for their senior year(s) during which they had several adventures. Lukas is smart, an exceptional athlete, and a great friend.
Rachel Arner
Bridesmaid
Rachel and I met at Camp Hye Sierra when we were 12 years old and have been tight ever since. Rachel and I bring a good balance to each other and always know how to make each other laugh. She's one goofy person and is the type of person who is willing to learn line dances with you at midnight and sing you off to sleep with her melodious voice. During Covid-19 Rachel also let me crash on her floor for a month, that's real friendship right there if I say so myself.
Glen Petersen
Groomsman
Max and Glen met when Glen was Max's waiter at Angies, where the locals eat. Despite majoring in communications at school, Glen is quite the engineer - he enlisted Max's help at the start of lockdown to build a table. He also knows a thing or two about cooking, making smoothies, and professional gaming (he's top 8!) Glen is a man of many mysterious talents, but he is undeniably a great friend.
