Wedding Party
Catherine Rauser
Maid of Honor
You don't get a better older sister, friend, prankster, or helper than Catherine. She has kept me out of harms way my entire life (which was not easy) while still making sure we always have the best of times. She even gets the stuff off the top shelf for me, what could be better than that? - Monica
Nate Bonsell
Best Man
Nate is my older brother and the favorite son ever since I was born. I may have surpassed him in height, but I will never surpass him in beard. - Joel
Melody Rauser
Bridesmaid
We are the closest in age since birth, often mistaken as twins, and we share a lot of the same friends. Fun times and Melody always seem to be in the same place. She also brought Joel into my life! A gift I will never be able to repay. Melody is lovely, talented, and tenacious. - Monica
Dustin Rauser
Groomsman
Truly the prettiest of the Rausers, but sadly already taken, so I settled for Monica. - Joel
Grace Rauser
Bridesmaid
"The Kid" of the family, has a dry, sarcastic wit which can make anyone laugh. She has been the chaperone on almost all of my dates since the beginning (good and bad). Grace has managed to accumulate all the best qualities of us older children, without any of the bad. Well, maybe just a few of the bad. - Monica
Caleb Duarte
Groomsman
Caleb is one of my oldest and dearest friends. We've best friends since we were five years old, and our conversations still revolve around star wars, superheroes and baseball. Even though we don't see each other as often anymore, its always right where we left off. May it never change. - Joel
Erin Bonsell
Bridesmaid
She turned from "my boyfriends younger sister to one of my great friends real fast". Now I don't remember a time we didn't do everything together. She is thoughtful, sweet, and terribly creative. - Monica
Chance Lemons
Groomsman
Chance is our very own dancing queen. Justice preserver by day, disco dancer by night. - Joel
Noah Spremich
Bridesmaid
Friends since we were just out of diapers, its hard to find a better best friend. We have been through what seems like everything but a world war together and still managed to come out (mostly) unscathed. She bold, she's beautiful, and she is brave. - Monica
Tim Pham
Groomsman
Being so hot, he had to become a firefighter to keep himself in check. Tim is always the one to call for a great laugh and a good time. - Joel
Hannah Apolinar
Bridesmaid
Hannah is Monica 2.0, the woman I have always wanted to be. Our friendship is hard to describe thus I call her my wifey. She can do absolutely anything you ask her to, and do it better than the professionals. She is gorgeous, generous, and has the best laugh. - Monica
Josh Tolnay
Groomsman
We bonded over Billy Joel's music, then after close inspections of each others tall and skinny frames, we realized we are the same person. - Joel
Zak Orlando
Bridesman
I told him he would be a bridesmaid back in junior high and our friendship has only gotten better since. Zak is the most original person I have ever met. I told him I like whale crackers, he made me a clock out of whale crackers. He is the best. - Monica
Abby Murray
Groomswoman
Abby and I were partners on an ambulance for over a year. She was simultaneously the angel and the devil on my shoulder. She would some days set me up for success, or she would watch me burn in my own terrific ideas. Nothing ever killed me or anyone else, but boy did she get a kick out of it. - Joel
