Megan & Andrew
Wedding Party
Megan Herdering
Bride
The choice to make Megan the bride of this wedding was an easy one- we knew that she would be a perfect fit for the role because of her laid back personality and the fact that she loves Andrew.
Andrew Buness
Groom
Andrew happens to be the groom in this wedding mainly because he loves Megan. And because a wedding sounded fun.
Brianna Herdering
Maid of Honor
Bri is the middle child of the Herdering family, known for her sarcastic remarks, honesty, and love of reading. We love love, and Bri loves her chippies.
Nate Stensland
Best Man
Nate and Andrew met in junior high and bonded over their shared love (tolerance at best) of playing the trombone. They both passed on professional musical careers because they weren't talented enough.
Emily Herdering
Maid of Honor
Em is Megan's youngest sister. She loves driving her jeep all over Stearns County, blasting trap music. She has an adventurous spirit and is willing to try anything - including being a MOH!
Ryan Buness
Groomsman
Ryan and Andrew met approximately 26 years ago, although Andrew doesn't really remember the day (he was busy being born). Whether playing sports, video games, or going to concerts, Andrew and Ryan have stayed close over the years, you might even say, "brotherly".
Melissa Delvecchio
Bridesmaid
Melissa and Andrew met in similar fashion to Ryan and Andrew. Is Andrew a bad sibling for not remembering either one? Maybe, maybe not, but by now you've picked up that together they are the 3 Buness siblings. Melissa routinely inspired Andrew with her dedication and work ethic pursuing her goals and they share a passion for travel and adventure (though Andrew prefers lower elevations and not jumping out of perfectly good airplanes).
AK Kuczynski
Groomsman
AK and Andrew were roommates freshmen year of college at the University of St. Thomas and quickly became great friends. Whether dorm room shenanigans, study abroad adventures, or late night Call of Duty battles, there are plenty of great memories made between these two.
Adelaide Meier
Bridesmaid
Adelaide would hate that I am writing anything about her - Hello Adelaide! Our friendship was tenuous in third grade, but has really grown since then - through high school science classes and a shared love of bringing people together!
Jon Meier
Groomsman
There is a certain bond formed between people when you tent camp while it's snowing and you visit Canadian voyageur festivals when it's 20 below zero. Although Andrew has only known Jon for a few years, it's experiences like these that made them fast friends and there will no doubt be more adventures to come. And no, Meier is not a coincidence, Adelaide and Jon are happily married.
Kari Middendorf
Bridesmaid
Kari is Megans cousin, and as you can see, they have been spending time together since the 90s - and preparing for this day! Megan & Kari have grown up together - from playing dress up, going to Camp Lebanon, family Christmases, graduating high school, cousins weddings, to Megans wedding!
Travis Goodsell
Groomsman
All you need to know about Travis is that his birthday is April Fools Day, and that is too fitting to be coincidence.
Megan Gruber
Bridesmaid
Grubes & Megan met as they were heading to London, and quickly discovered they shared central MN roots. From there, Grubes became a trusted counterpart in travel and eventually a roommate with Megan back in MN!
Paul Byun
Groomsman
Fun fact about Paul, he's on Spotify. Sorry Paul, but you're about to become famous and Andrew will accept royalties for helping launch stardom and fame.
Monica Bye
Personal Attendant
Mon Mon is best known for her love of adventure and willingness to try anything - her enthusiasm and zeal were in invaluable as she traversed Europe with Megan & Andrew. Some (now questionable) drinking games gained the trio the self appointed nickname of "SoCo Crew".
Audrey Blommel
Personal Attendant
Megan & Audrey were strangers until Audrey joined swimming in 9th grade (good choice, Aud), where they became fast friend. Eventually, through almost daily summer visits, bike rides, and swimming practices, Aud has become a default member of the Herdering household.
Michaela Worms
Personal Attendant
Michaela and Megan go way back to middle school - those fun times really bring people together. From Christian music festivals to hiding out on Florida rooftops, you can always tell Michaela is in the room by her infectious laugh, and her genuine and joyous presence!
Landon Buness
Ring Bearer
Hobbies include: stealing hearts and watching Puppy Pals. He's too busy for other hobbies.
