Molly & Nate
Wedding Party
Emily Feber
Maid of Honor
Emily and I met our first day of college in Salt Lake City and have basically been best friends ever since. Despite living on opposite coasts since graduating, we have remained close friends- taking an international trip together (almost) every year. From shots of Jager and clubbing at 4am to sipping Sauvignon Blanc and falling asleep at 11 (lets be real, 10:00), our friendship has evolved overtime and I wouldn't change it for the world. We have always been there to celebrate the good times and support each other through the bad, I can't wait for Emily to stand by me on my wedding day. Also- she probably has the most drunken dirt on me so stay tuned for her speech.
Lindsey Schotke
Bridesmaid
Lindsey is my older sister. Lindsey played a pivotal role in my childhood, like teaching me the proper way to cut a Barbie's hair and fun variations of the game hide and go seek where you hide and no one comes to find you. Lindsey has always been a protective older sister, disapproving of literally every guy I ever brought home, until Nate. Looking back now, I can't say I blame her. I'm glad we've finally reached the point in our lives where I have significant other approval and we can take family vacations together.
Kaylee Snyder
Bridesmaid
Kaylee and I met 5 years ago when we worked at the same company in South Carolina. Ironically, we did not like each other at first. It took a solid 6+ months of working together before we actually hung out. It wasn't until Kaylee offered to 5S my TV and internet cords (mfg nerds) that we started to become close. Now, we enjoy a regular schedule of commute calls to vent about our days and laugh about the ridiculousness of our lives. Although she only picks up the phone 1/4 of the time, she has always been there when I have needed her the most. You can probably find her dropping a superstar or wiping out on the dance floor on the night of the wedding.
Natalee Raber
Bridesmaid
Natalee and I had the complete luck of meeting randomly at Rhinegeist 4 years ago. She quickly started adding me to her calendar invites for her all of her social outings (yes, Natalee used to send Calendar invites for everything) and instantly welcomed me into her friend group. We entered each others lives when we were both having a hard time adjusting to new circumstances and bonded over being instant support systems for each other. Natalee is she the most organized person I know (hence the calendar invites) and will probably be the one making sure we stay on schedule on our wedding day.
Sara Baugh
Bridesmaid
Sara is Nate's younger, louder, and more talented sister which is probably why I liked her instantly. I admire the close relationship she and Nate have and the fact that they are brutally honest with each other with no offense ever taken (mostly). If you aren't sure who Sara is on our wedding day, just look for the tallest Bridesmaid.
Rob Adamson
Best Man
I had the pleasure of serving as Rob’s best man in his wedding over 10 years ago and l’m thrilled he’s going to be standing next to me on my big day. Rob and I have been close friends since middle school and we immediately bonded over our love for golf. The only thing I know that makes Rob nervous is a 4-foot left-to right putt, so I know he’ll have no problem standing up and giving a great best man speech at the reception. He may start off with a couple of bad “Rob” jokes as he tries to warm up the crowd, but as this is his chance to give me a hard time I’m sure he’ll knock it out of the park. If you end up in a conversation with somebody you don’t know and that person gives you a 15-minute rambling shot-by-shot breakdown of his latest golf round, then you’ll know you’re talking to Rob.
Doug Tanner
Groomsman
Doug and I grew up a couple miles apart in the thriving metropolis known as Seelyville, IN. In high school, we used to execute the “highest high-five at Terre Haute North” which you’ll probably see sometime during the reception. I’ve always admired Doug’s affection and emotion for his family and friends. He’s got a big heart and I know I can always count on him for support. Don’t be fooled by all his sweet talk though, Doug knows how to have a good time. Doug has saved me thousands of dollars over the years through by sneaking lots of Busch Light onto the golf course. And as far as his putting, nobody (except for maybe Tiger Woods) who I’d trust more than Doug to make a clutch 6-foot putt. You’ll easily know Doug because he’ll probably be the tallest non-Thiemann at our wedding.
Paul Jungers
Groomsman
Paul and I have been buddies for over 2 decades now and he’s been my travel companion on several fun adventures over the years. Whether it’s a drive to Florida or Canada, or golf trips in Arizona and Vegas, it’s impossible not to have a smile on your face when hanging out with Paul. Paul doesn’t take anything too serious and always maintains a positive attitude in any environment or situation, hence one of his many nicknames, “Paul Positive.” Paul can hit 3 golf balls in the water or woods on one hole, forget about it and be convinced he’s going to birdie the next hole. You’ll notice Paul by his sharp suit and red hair and I’m honored that the “best left-handed, red-headed attorney golfer in Vigo County” will be a part of our wedding.
Mark Burdick
Groomsman
Mark and I attended kindergarten together at St. Patrick’s and our families knew each other long before we were born. Affectionally known as the “midge,” Mark is of average height, but he made the unfortunate decision to have a lot of giant friends. I have great admiration for Mark’s patience and grace. As an example, Mark has tackled the monumental task of organizing annual golf trips with our group of friends over the past several years. He’s handled the constant sarcasm, lack of feedback, and Rob’s last-minute curveballs and still managed to still produce some awesome, memorable trips. If you overhear anybody talking about Notre Dame’s 2026 recruiting class at our wedding, I guarantee you’ve found Mark.
Steve Mast
Groomsman
Steve and I became good buddies in middle school. We share mutual affections for parlays, Domino’s, and picking on Rob. Steve is big on playing all sorts of interesting games while hanging out and he and his wife Mereith are well-known for their annual Christmas Olympics, which features most of the elite male athletes mentioned above. If you’re ever lucky enough to be invited to this prestigious event, be sure you practice your drinking and dart throwing. If you see somebody fall asleep sitting up in a chair with a beer in hand towards the end of the reception, that will most likely be Steve. He’s been known to fall asleep mid conversation, but don’t worry, he’ll be ready to party again after a 15 minute cat nap.
Matt Kirleis
Usher
Matt is Molly’s older brother and I’m excited I’ll be calling him my brother-in-law soon. Matt lives in Boston with his wife Katie and son Ethan. While I’ve only been able to hang out with Matt a few times prior to our wedding, I know our relationship will be great as we share a common talent that we both execute very well. That talent involves being experts at picking on our younger sisters. Molly’s told me stories of Matt chasing her around the house as a kid and practicing his wrestling moves on her. I largely credit Molly's tolerance of me picking on her and my sarcasm to Matt. So basically, if it weren't for Matt, we might not be together.
Kyle Crawford
Usher
Kyle and I attended kindergarten together but didn’t become close and start causing trouble together until we reunited in high school. A trip back home to Terre Haute isn’t complete without spending a few hours with “Crawford.” Whether we are winning bets or solving the world’s problems at his bar, Bohannon’s, or making birdies at Hulman Links, there’s never a dull moment when hanging out with Crawford. He may have a reputation for being a bit rough around the edges and using brash language (that’s an understatement), but Crawford’s got a heart of gold and can show empathy while making fun of you at the same time. Crawford isn’t known for his punctuality, so if there is a delay in finding an usher to help you to your seat it’s probably because Crawford is late to the party.
