Wedding Weekend
This is a wedding weekend celebration, not just a single day! We can’t wait to spend time with you throughout the weekend with cocktail hours, activities, and special moments before and after the big day. For planning purposes, this will be an adults-only celebration. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!
How We Met
We met at a worship night that Micah planned and led- fun fact, he’s a phenomenal guitarist! He was focused on preparing for the evening, and I was there by happenstance. Neither of us arrived expecting to meet anyone. At some point during the night, we noticed each other, and suddenly it was hard to focus on the music. After the set, we were eager to introduce ourselves and soon kept crossing paths at church and through mutual friends. We quickly discovered a shared faith, a similar sense of humor, and a comfort in each other’s company. It became clear that what we had found was rare. We aligned on the things that matter most: our values, our faith, and the way we approach commitment. In the coming months, we grew a shared desire to build a life together, and it wasn’t long before we decided to pursue marriage, confident that we had found the person we were meant to share our lives with.

Jordan Grosgebauer
Matron of Honor
I’m so grateful to have my sister, Jordan, as one of my matron of honor's. I’ve always looked up to her, relied on her for advice and guidance, and admired the way she leads with kindness, humor, and grace. Having her by my side for my big day means the world to me.
Catlyn Gohn
Matron of Honor
I’m so lucky to have my best friend Catlyn stand up with me, also, as my Matron of Honor. We’ve been friends since high school, and she’s been my sounding board through everything. I honestly couldn’t have done life without her. We laugh harder than anyone, and I truly can’t imagine this day without her.
Annie Schoephoerster
Bridesmaid
Annie and I often joke that our moms set us up on a “blind date,” and from the very start, we just clicked. She was an answered prayer for a dear friendship when I needed it most, and I feel like I’ve known her forever. I’m so grateful to have her standing up with me on my wedding day.
