Wedding Party
Elise Holcomb
Maid of Honor
Elise and I met our freshman year of high school in 2014. She's my longest friendship, totaling in at a whopping 11 years. Even though we live 4.5 hours away, we find ways to keep our friendship as corny as it was when we lived only a few miles away. We actually have matching duck tattoos, if that gives you any perspective. Fun fact about Elise: she can drive a bus
Hallee Stark
Matron of Honor
Hallee and I met in 2023. Crazy enough, I started off as her wedding photographer. After their initial consult with me, we became coworkers at an outpatient mental health clinic and we've been inseparable since. She understands my brain more than 90% of the professionals do, and she's just the best. Fun fact about Hallee: her and the bride both have a "third nipple"
Emily Heykoop
Bridesmaid
Emily and I met in 2023 when she downgraded from a military base in Alaska to being stationed in Grand Forks. Another instant connection, we quickly became inseparable after we started working together in YoungLife. Her and her family have just moved to Montana and we miss them dearly. Fun fact about Emily: Emily and the bride are convinced they were in the same vacation bible school class in Rolla MO when they were 9
Hope Burdolski
Bridesmaid
Hope and I met in choir at UND in 2018. She's got the voice and personality of an angel and she's been one of my dearest friends since we met. We ended up teaching in the same classroom together in 2021-22. I don't get to see her as much as I used to, as she's moved to Bismarck to pursue her dreams, *sniffles* but I love her nonetheless! She's also in the running for Miss North Dakota this year!!! Fun fact about Hope: she's literally met Barbara Morgan, who called her "inspirational"
Emily Klegstad
Bridesmaid
Emily and I also met while working in an outpatient mental health clinic. I don't think I have nearly as funny of stories with anyone as I do with Emily. We gut laugh continuously when we're together, and I've never been so close to peeing my pants as I am when I'm with her. Also, I can't wait to spoil her little one on the way!! Fun fact about Emily: she won a hula hoop contest once
Kat Antonenko
Bridesmaid
Kat and I met in 2017 when we were randomly matched as roommates at Minnesota State Mankato. We lived together, and did everything together for a solid year before I transferred to UND. Despite us living 5 hours away, she's the only friend I call up in the cities to get lunch when I'm around. I laugh till' I'm blue in the face with her, and she's a wonderful human. Fun fact about Kat: she was in the car when the bride got pulled over for the first time
Julia Fischer
Bridesmaid
Julia and I met in 2018 when I transferred to UND. She was my first friend I made in Grand Forks, and we've been such dear friends since. She's one of my "OG" choir buddies, and we've been through a lot together since! She's watched Evan and I grow as a couple from literally day 1 and I can't imagine not having her by my side on my wedding day. Fun fact about Julia: she eats reheated pizza with a fork
Olivia Most
Personal Attendant
Oliva and I met when I came home for the Most family Thanksgiving back in 2022. She's easily one of the funniest people I know and I'm so excited to become her sister in law. I never thought I'd meet the female version of Evan, but that's likely why we get along so well ;) Fun fact about Olivia: she has perfect pitch
Isabelle Most
Personal Attendant
Isabelle and I also met back in 2022 when I came to the Most home for the first time. In our spare time, we love to get Cane's, Niko Niko, and pierce our ears together when I'm visiting the family.

Arda Mae
Flower Girl
Arda is Emily and Tyler Heykoop's daughter, and Evan and Alix's God Daughter. Alix was the first person Emily told when she got pregnant, and one of the first people to see Arda as she came into the world. I can't wait to keep watching her grow up, she is so loved and cherished by us. Fun fact about Arda: Alix was in the hospital room when she was born!
Cullin Most
Best Man
Cullin has been Evan's older brother ever since Evan was born. It was rare to see them apart growing up all the way through high school. We made lots of great memories and my relationship with him helped shaped me into the man I am today. He has always pushed me to be better and I am thankful to have a brother like him. Fun fact about Cullin: He is 6'9" so you don't have to ask him how tall he is, and yes he can dunk a basketball. He can also solve a Rubik's cube
Bryce Gartner
Groomsman
Evan and Alix both met Bryce in choir at UND in 2019. We quickly became great friends with him and we were all roommates at one point. Bryce never allows a dull moment to pass. He is one of the most fun people to be around, and leaves everyone laughing about something he said or did. Fun fact about Bryce: He is in the army
Drew Jurek
Groomsman
Drew was Evan's roommate freshman year of college in 2018. He and Evan became great friends throughout that year, and made lots of great memories together.

Fun fact about Drew: He used to work for Lund Boats
Jesse Stark
Groomsman
Jesse is a man of many words, especially when he hits a golf ball in the water. He met Evan and Alix through his wife, Hallee, Alix's matron of honor. He is a very fun guy to be around, unless you beat him in NHL. He has been there a lot through Evan and Alix's relationship, and we are very grateful to have him as a friend. Fun fact about Jesse: he rages when he loses in NHL
Patrick Larson
Groomsman
Patrick has been one of Evan's closest friends since freshman year of high school when they met. We played baseball together all the way through. We spent many nights around a campfire with the boys, and many Sundays watching the Vikings. We have seen a lot together and Patrick has always been there when I needed him. I'm grateful for all the memories we have and Alix and I are honored to have him as a part of our lives. Fun fact about Patrick:
Tom Gutzmann
Groomsman
Tom and Evan met in 8th grade at St. Agnes, and they became friends over talking about cars and country music. We also played baseball together through high school. Tom is one of America's legendary rednecks and Evan seems to have followed in his footsteps considering he now works on a farm. Tom was always there to be the voice of reason in any scenario, and he cares deeply for his friends. I am a very lucky guy to have him in my corner. Fun fact about Tom: He and his wife just had a baby!
Tyler Heykoop
Groomsman
Tyler and Evan met in 2023, and they became great friends by bonding over things like the office, Star Wars, and cars. He really loves his Toyota Landcruiser, and he and Evan enjoy comparing and contrasting Evan's Jeep vs. his Toyota.

Fun fact: Tyler can tell you anything and everything about Lord of the Rings.
Wyatt Rauschnott
Groomsman
Wyatt lived across the hall from Evan freshman year of college, and he, Drew, and Evan became very close friends that year. We made lots of great memories in the dorm and the house we lived in. If you enjoy the outdoors, Wyatt is your guy. Like Evan, Wyatt was an aviation major, so they will often be heard discussing pilot things. He has always been a great friend to Evan and we are grateful he is part of our big day. Fun fact about Wyatt:
William Patton
Usher
Will met Evan and Alix in choir at UND in 2019. He is also a past president of the UND Varsity Gentlemen, and I had the honor of being his Vice President. Will is always fun to hang out with. He loves to sing, and you will often hear him randomly performing a Rascal Flatts song unwarranted. Will is a wonderful friend of both Evan and Alix and we're glad he's part of our big day. Fun fact about Will: Despite being an airline scheduler, he loves not scheduling what he is going to do on vacation until the last minute.
Jared Masloski

Fun fact about Jared: He knows a lot of people from Sheboygan
Alex Hlavinka

Alex is one of the strongest men that I have in my life, and I am honored to call him my brother. Fun fact about Alex: He is a volunteer firefighter
Andrew Most
Usher
Evan has been Andrew's older brother since Andrew was born. Evan and Andrew were very close growing up, and Evan is proud of the man his little brother is becoming. Andrew will usually leave you laughing pretty hard. He is a star in three different sports, but his favorite is football. He is a great kid and even better brother, and Alix and I are grateful to be his family. Fun fact about Andrew: You may mistake him for Evan on the wedding day as they bear shocking resemblance.
