Wedding Party
Marketa "Rosie" Williams
Matron of Honor
Rosie has been a certified bestie since my 21st year of life. She has been there with me through countless ups and downs, and has always been the best travel companion. Her type A personality somehow complements my "go with the flow" personality, as she wasn't completely disgusted by me as a roommate, and she still gets excited (I think) for when I am able to come visit her in the Pacific Northwest. I am truly honored to have her as a Matron of Honor, as I know she'll keep me put together, while making sure my champers is always full.
Richard "Doc Dick" Kelnhofer
Best Man
Dick became my team's corpsman in 2011. Through work up, deployment, duty station, and branch changes, we have maintained our friendship and have always found a way back to each other. It doesn't matter - across the world, to California, to Virginia, to the middle of the US - he has always been by my side through the worst and best of times. Besides it takes a hell of a friend to move his entire family to Nebraska (of all states) just to live and hunt along side his friend.
Melissa Anderson
Matron of Honor
YES I HAVE TWO. Just like I had two weddings... *queue laugh track* Melissa and I have become the best of friends through one of the most pivotal jobs in my life - Old Chicago. Melissa has always been the most pure of friends, always being the person to do right by those she loves, especially ALL of the animals. I feel so blessed that she has chosen me as one of those people, and that she continues to support me, even though I have probably made a few decisions that disappointed her. I am thrilled she is standing as my Matron of Honor again, and will also help in keeping me put together mentally and physically.
Alexander "Zander" Curtis
Groomsman
The middle child. Some how he still said he'd be in my wedding despite being on the receiving end of my crap for the majority of his young life. Now having grown much taller than his older brother, we enjoy each other's company often. He is an outstanding family man and a great uncle to our kids. The kids enjoy their frequent sleep overs with Oliver and Zander. He is also the financial guru of our Curtis generation.
Emily Knudtson
Bridesmaid
"The Champ is Here" (or insert any other WWE quote, maybe a Rick Flair "WOO!") Emily is another gem of a person I had met through Old Chicago, but this time in Papillion. We have spent MANY a day and night together, and have so many fond memories we share. I am glad she is standing with me again even though - well you know the family history right? Can't wait to see her cut a little loose as she's been MIA since her last kiddo. Her husband better be ready to DD.
Zachary Curtis
Groomsman
The youngest, the "Golden" child, the pretty one... take your pick. The baby of the 3 brothers, he has always been trying to keep up with his 2 older brothers. Zachary is the golden retriever. Always upbeat and positive with luscious, flowing locks... It is just impossible to be sad around him. Zachary is always willing to lend a hand regardless of what he has going on.
Megan Suiter
Bridesmaid
Meet my younger, but somehow more mature than me, sister... We grew up fighting over clothes, covers, top bunk, toys, you name it. BUT that's what sister's are for. As we have grown up we have helped each other through some of our tougher times but have also been a part of some of each others bigger and more happier moments in life. I am grateful for a sister that I can call on and know she will help me whatever my need may be, but don't worry I won't ask about that tie-dye shirt you stole in college (or maybe it was high-school).
Dylan Miller
Groomsman
Dylan and I met and immediately became friends. Now one of my go to people, Dylan receives a call from me roughly once a week so I can vent or just run something by him to see how stupid some of my idea's actually are. I never anticipated meeting someone in my 30's that I feel like I've known my entire life, but Dylan and his family have become a welcome addition to my village and I could not be more grateful to have them.
Toni Michalski
Bridesmaid
Oh Toni, she may not be blood, but she might as well be. She has been the most wonderful addition to our family and I can't believe how lucky we all are to have her. She is one of the most thoughtful people I know, and always goes out of her way to be a help for all of our family. So glad she has agreed to stand by my side as I say I do!
Michael Michalski
Groomsman
Growing up as the oldest I never knew what having an older sibling was like, so it was pretty cool to get a "bonus" older brother and a sister from Amanda. Like my larger, younger brothers, it's nice to have brother's at both Christmas's to remind you that you're vertically challenged. Over Amanda and I's relationship, it has been great to grow close with Mike and his family. Whether it's a trip to Okoboji, a CWS game, or playing music Trivia after eating a brisket, I am truly grateful for Mike - and his family - and the time I get to spend with them.
Isabelle "Izzy" Curtis
Junior Bridesmaid
Izzy has been one of biggest supporters since day one. It was important to us to have a larger wedding for our kids, because it is so much more than just us! It is our family's becoming one, and Isabelle has been cheering on our love from very early on.
Gunnar Curtis
Junior Groomsman
One of his dad's biggest supporters in life, Gunnar is one amazing kid. We are blessed to have him stand with us on the big day.
Cora Michalski
Flower Girl
Well, I can't say she's my favorite niece anymore (Chloe just had to be born), but we have a special bond. I am so glad she agreed to participating in our big day.
Eisley Curtis
Flower Girl
Another big supporter of our love! Watch out for this girl on the dance floor, cause she is going to light it up!
Phillip Knudtson
Ring Bearer
Philly-Cheesesteak! Who knows if he can handle the pressure of his duties, but I know he will have a blast on the big day. He keeps our whole family constantly giggling.
