Peter and I grew up going to school together and attended freshman year at GVSU together as well.
Groomsman
Nick is Heather's brother who lives in New Mexico. We flew out to help him move from Washington to his current residence which was full of hiking adventures in national parks along the way and a very long car ride. If you're ever in need of a mixed drink he's gonna be the one you want to contact. He can make a mean mudslide. Emphasis on the "mean."
Matron of Honor
Shannon and I met in 4th grade and have been best friends since! We did band, volleyball, and track together in school and were voted "best friends" for our grade in the yearbook. She basically lived at my house during high school. Her late husband is Mike's first cousin. So she's stuck with me for life.
Maid of Honor
Kristina and I were arranged dorm roommates freshman year of college. We are basically the same person in different bodies. We owned the same exact shirt in middle school, had the same favorite animal, and I can figure out if she would like something by asking if I would like it too. She is the sweetest person in the world and her laugh will make you join in the laughter.
Bridesmaid
Kellea and I are first cousins. We grew up together and she was the closest thing I had to a sister. Every summer we would head up to the grandparents and we would be inseparable. We would even scheme about ways we could make our stays longer by pretending we forgot something so our parents would have to turn around and go back. Except most the time, they wouldn't..
Bridesmaid
I don't think I could get any luckier with who I'm about to call my sister-in-law. Randi is married to Nick VanHemert, Mike's brother. She is the mother of Titan and Raegan, our ring bearer and flower girl. She is always willing to help anyone who needs it and has the funniest stories. If you ever need a game night partner, she's the one to pick.
Bridesmaid
Sheree has been making me laugh since the first time we met at Bennigan's about 6 year's ago. She is the greatest friend anyone could ever ask for. We have been known to have the same jokes and humor, so I of course think she is hilarious. ;) Seriously though, Sheree can turn any bad day into a good one.
Bridesmaid
Mara is Mike's younger brother's girlfriend. She is incredibly fun and I don't know anyone who wouldn't like her crazy, free spirit. She is my go to drinking buddy and someone you can always count on playing Euchre with. Mike and I had a very long winning streak against her and Jesse. We still tend to win most games. ;)
Officiant
Jason was one of the first member's of Mike's family that Heather met and it was for drinks downtown.
Ring Bearer
Mr. Titan is Mike's just 4 year-old nephew and holds one of the greatest secrets: he's the red Power Ranger.
Flower Girl
Ms. Raegan is Mike's niece who will be about 1 year and half at the wedding! Talk about stealing the show!
Usher Assistant
My favorite Godson! Colton came into my life 5 years ago by my best friend Shannon Conaty. I was lucky enough to be asked to be his Godmother.
