Wedding Party

MEET OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO ARE WALKING DOWN THE AISLE WITH US. THESE ARE OUR PEOPLE.

Ashtin Hmielewski

Maid of Honor

Ashy is my grade school partner in crime and lifelong bestie. She's a rockstar graphic designer/photographer/artistic genius. Always been my number one supporter and encourager.


John Herfurth

Best Man

John is my oldest brother. We have known each other for going on 28 years and still get along. I cannot imagine anyone else I would want standing next to me on my big day.

Grace Taylor

Bridesmaid

Gracie Girl is my college roommate. We lived together all four years. During that time we grew, learned about ourselves, made mistakes, and grew some more.


Jack Sachariason

Groomsman

Jack is one of my best friends from childhood. From playing sports to getting into trouble to drinking the occasional pitcher of beer, we have done a lot together.

Maia Scheffler

Bridesmaid

Maister is both my cousin and the sister I never had. If you need an honest opinion, she's your go-to girl. Some of our favorite activities are wearing little to no sunscreen, eating late night sweet treats, and cabin slumber parties.


Nick Versaevel

Groomsman

Nick and I were random roommates freshman year at SDSU, it was one of the best days of his life when we met. We also lived together senior year but neither of us imagined we would have such a strong friendship when we met, and here we are. I stood next to Nick on his wedding day and now he will stand next to me.

Sydney Walsh

Bridesmaid

Syd is one of the mutual friends I touched on in the story of how we met. She's a fellow tooth nerd who is not afraid of a good time. Chances she whips out the worm on the dance floor are 100%.


Jacob Otta

Groomsman

Jacob and I met freshman year at SDSU. We lived on the same floor and were also the same major. Jake will definitely bring the energy to the party we call the reception. Chances are you will have a conversation with him at some point.

Abby Halluska

Bridesmaid

Ab is another dental school girlfriend. We were preclinic bench mates for the first two years of school - an experience that came with many laughs and maybe more cries. There's nothing jamming to Wasted On You can't get us through.


Joe Burgmeier

Groomsman

Joe is one of my good buddies from dent school. We met D1 year and things only went up from there. The hours we spent watching sports together are unfathomable. I don't think anyone watched the Twins, Wild, and Wolves as much as Apt 112 did over the '22-24 years.

Kylie Mullaney

Bridesmaid

Kylie is also a dental school girlfriend. She's the youngest old soul of our friend group and collects fancy tequila (but I think it's mostly for display). Bonus points to anyone who can get her to have a shot with you at the wedding.


Kiefer Miller

Groomsman

Kief is also a dent buddy of mine, one of the first ones. Nothing solidifies a bond quite like early morning workouts and racquetball. Kief's always been the dad of the group, even though he isn't a dad, yet. Mostly because he got married before everyone else, but he has always carried the qualities.

Katy Herfurth

Bridesmaid

Katy is my soon to be sister-in-law! She started dating John around the same time as Preston and I were getting to know each other, so we've been dealing with the Herfurth boys together. She is the kindest soul and I'm grateful we get to experience this life together.


Brady Hartman

Groomsman

Brad is hands down the goofball of the group, he is the final dent school buddy of the party, We also work for the same company so we get to travel to CEs and close down Chili's together. If we get enough beers in him we may get the dance show of a lifetime with the help of a few more guys. (Joe, Sam, Mitch, Nicholas)

Shannon Beaulieu

Bridesmaid

Shanny is the other mutual friend in the story of how Preston and I met. She was my role model before I started dental school and didn't show any annoyance when I asked her 18934562 questions throughout school. She's currently serving as a dentist in the Navy. Thank you for your service, Shannon!


Peyton Grant

Groomsman

No, Peyton is not a Dent school friend. He is Mel's youngest brother. He is compassionate, loving, protective, hard-working, driven, and an officer of the law. Oh, and did I mention he is single? (I hope you are okay it isn't verbatim from the text you sent me, I was not able to use all the adjectives you wanted me to but I got the big ones)

Zoey Lobejko

Personal Attendant

Surprise, surprise... Zo is another dental school girlie. She's the unicorn of our friend group and when you see her you'll understand why. Think gorgeous, smart, funny, athletic, etc. Our aesthetic Instagram queen may be getting content during our wedding day so please participate!!


Karson Herfurth

Usher

Karson is my oldest cousin on Dad's side and 1 of the 2 parties responsible for our studly keeper of the rings, Dawson. He can easily be bribed for the best seats in the house (church). All it will take is a case of beer and doors will open for you, literally.

Aleksa Tataryn

Personal Attendant

Aleksa is once again a dental school girlfriend. She was Preston's friend first but I stole her to my side because I love her so much. She has a sparkle that will light up any room and is the ultimate hype woman.


Nathan Herfurth

Usher

Nate is the youngest of the Herfurth cousins, the baby of the family (until Dawson came along). He is all business, so y'all best be behaving or he won't hesitate to throw someone out. I watched him wrestle 3 men at once at John's wedding, so you've all been warned.

Alaina Christians

Flower Girl

Alaina is Preston's cousin once removed (lol I know that sounds so silly). She is a shy but spunky girl who we absolutely adore. The last wedding we were at together was John and Katy's and boy did Alaina love to dance. Hopefully she shows everyone her moves on our dance floor.


Dawson Herfurth

Ring Bearer

A man of few words. He isn't the tallest but he makes up for it in personality. He is also easily distracted so hopefully Alaina can keep him from conversing with too many people on the way down the aisle.

For all the days along the way
