Wedding Party
Mary Klein
Maid of Honor
Mar - I'm not crying, you're crying. My baby sis and my biggest motivator, helper, healer and absolute best hugger. Let me just tell everybody that this day would not be possible without this girl. It goes without saying that even though I told mom to put her back when she was born, that I could not live without her. Always asking her for advice, venting about life, and complaining about work. It has been the best years sharing a last name with you! Love you, MK :)
Alexandra Brown
Bridesmaid
Alexandra - The third Klein sister (or so most people thought growing up). My sister from another mister. We have gone through every stage of life together - the excitement as we got ready for high school dances, the tears of heartbreak and sadness of our long distance colleges, to nostalgia... thinking we were going to marry those high school boys ;) don't mistake her for the bride (me) because we really do look alike!
Shelby Larson
Bridesmaid
Shelbs - Someone I legit could not go a single day without talking to :') we had a strong bond since our nerdy middle school days but nothing can compare to our friendship now! From random middle of the week coffee dates (those dang healthcare work schedules lol) to Avril Lavigne concerts to double date game nights at our house - this is really my go-to-gal! Couldn't and wouldn't want to do life without her!
Kelsey Alexander
Bridesmaid
Kels (doughnut emoji) - Her and I should win and award for "The Quickest & Strongest Friendship Ever Formed." We met in college at Kato in September of 2013. Well, she decided she was going to be moving back home to PA in December of that same year... well, 4 months is all it took during her time at Kato and we created a forever friendship! We've traveled back and forth to each other's hometowns, to the Grand Canyon, to Vegas... Look at us - 12 years strong despite living 12+ hours away from each other! <3
Brittany Kemmerer
Bridesmaid
Britty Titty - My college bestie and the best blonde-brunette duo! Even though she lives in Sioux Falls our friendship has never wavered. We always find a way to tear up the town and laugh until our bellies hurt :') This woman has the most infectious energy and laugh that can make you smile every second you are with her. To know her is to love her. Everyone make sure to ask her about the Komodo dragon!
Nicole Dockendorf
Bridesmaid
Nikki Elizabeth - Jacob's little sister and my new sis-in-law! From the moment we met, I began to force a friendship on her and now... she's my go-to buddy for pampering ourselves :) we've shared many laughs together and nights we can't remember (sorry Nicole, I'm definitely the culprit). Also, I know she doesn't love the middle name we share (Elizabeth) but for a short period of time we get to share same initials - Nicole & Natalie Elizabeth Dockendorf (NED)! So happy to call her my new sister!
Matthew Dockendorf
Best Man
Where do I even start? He’s my older brother who I have looked up to my entire life. I wouldn't be who I am without him! He has shown me the ropes when it comes to just about anything. He picked me to be his best man at his wedding and it was never a question of who would be the best man at my wedding! I think I even cried more at his own wedding, than he did. I love you, brother!
Ryan Spah
Groomsman
RSpah - you could consider us two peas in a pod. You usually don't invite one of us, without inviting the other. I met Ryan 25+ years ago and the rest is history. We have played sports together from little tykes and continue to play softball to this day. If there is any public evidence of what our friendship means to me, you should have seen me crying giving my Best Man speech at this wedding. This man loves to party, but you won't catch him on the dance floor!
Jake Miller
Groomsman
I first met Jake when we went to daycare together. We reconnected in High School when he asked me if I could give him a ride home from football practice. Following this, there weren't many days in the summer he didn't sleepover. These sleepovers consisted of trips to Walgreens in his Swaggin' Wagon for candy and knee hockey in my parents basement. Although he no longer lives in MN, I can always count on him for a weekly call to catch up!
Tanner Hofdahl
Groomsman
Tanman1411 - My gaming partner on Fortnite and Call of Duty. I first met him in middle school, when we played traveling baseball together. Our bonding really took off when he joined me for trips to the Uptown bars on the weekends. Golfing, watching MLB, late nights hanging out in your garage or gaming until you fall asleep with the controller in hand, the memories are endless!
Justin Clavelle
Groomsman
JC - Although he was a neighbor growing up, our friendship took off at Saint John's University. If there are a few things I can count on him for, it is our endless love for Duke Basketball, March Madness, College Football Saturdays and the TV Show Prison Break. Him and I had a pact to get married if weren’t taken by age 30… thanks Natalie!
Ian Ward
Groomsman
For anyone who knows Ian, he is one of the nicest individuals you will meet. I met Ian when he was my brother's sophomore roommate at Saint John's University. To this day, we bond when it comes to just about anything, including our love for music and sports. Whenever there is a big day of sports, I can always count on him to show up with two frozen pizzas and some beer. Sometimes, we even sneak in a Dairy Queen run!
