Wedding Party
Sarah Forrer
Maid of Honor
Sarah is Leah's older sister and best friend. She may put up a thick front, but don't let her fool you, shes a preschool teacher and has the sweetest soul you'll meet. We've shared plenty of nights doing spontaneous ideas she came up with last minute, and they are always a blast. If I ever tell you a crazy story, just know I was with my sister! Sarah blossoms my personality and has always made sure it's okay to be myself. I am thankful to have her by my side to balance me out, just like she has done our whole lives. Also, she loves to have fun! So be sure to find her on the dance floor during the reception if you're up to boogie!
Austin Soriano
Best Man
Austin is one of Nathan's older brothers and has been around since the beginning of Leah and Nathan's relationship. Austin has always been someone to make any situation funnier and has made Leah feel welcome in the family. He is the type of person to make light in all situations by telling a joke or funny story. He has always dreamed of being my best-man at my wedding and getting an opportunity to tell embarrassing stories, and now that moment has come. I am happy to have Austin as my best-man, and am thankful he has been by my side and will continue to be.
Mattie Ritz
Bridesmaid
Mattie is Leah's future sister-in-law, but also one of her dearest friends. I first met Mattie when I was in third grade and she came over to our house to swim with my brother John. I remember being nervous because my third grade self thought she was so cool and I wanted to be just like her. Little did I know she would be here to see me grow up and turn into who I am now. I used to ask her to play barbies, and now I get the honor to ask her to be at my wedding. Mattie is one of the most loyal and pure hearted people I know, and I couldn't be happier to have her standing by my side. PS, if you ask her if she wants to do karaoke there is a 10/10 chance she'll say yes!
John Forrer
Groomsman
John is Leah's older brother and has been in my life for the past 6 years. He has always looked out for his little sister and has been someone who has given great advice through the years. John is a very competitive person and is always looking to have fun. He was the first person to hit the court and play tennis with me, and he also got me to play magic with him and his friends. He still continues to invite me to bars even after a crazy night at mojos. I'm excited for all the fun things we will do in the future and I'm lucky to have you be apart of our wedding.
Kourtney Parrett
Bridesmaid
Kourtney is Nathan's sister and my future sister-in-law. The first time I met Kourtney was a family Christmas gathering. Although she didn't know me, she went out of her way to hand pick a gift for me. This moment resonates with me because she went out of her way to make me feel so welcomed. She has such a nurturing personality and puts effort into every single thing she does. She is the craft queen and never hesitates to offer help or find solutions when I need them. I love eating good food with her while a show is playing in the background and we talk about life. I can always count on Kourtney for anything and everything, and I am so lucky to have her by my side and soon be my sister!
Dave Parrett
Groomsman
Dave is married to my oldest sister Kourtney. Dave has been around for many years and Leah and I could not imagine having a good time without him. He is one of my go to's when I am looking to have a good time, or to chill out and shoot a game of pool. Dave is one of the funniest people I know and makes every interaction more enjoyable, even when he kicks my ass in pool. Thanks for all the fun events you have brought me too and I couldn't be more glad to have you apart of my wedding, it wouldn't be as fun without you.
Phoebe Stottlemire
Bridesmaid
Phoebe is Leah's close friend and old co-worker. I first met Phoebe when I was in second grade through my sister Sarah. They were best friends and still are to this day! Phoebe would have sleepovers with Sarah at our house literally every weekend. Some of my most memorable moments with Phoebe include making a horror film about a ghost named Steve, screaming in the freezer together at North Star Steakhouse, and her throwing me a "prom" on our sibling vacation in South Carolina because mine was cancelled. She has always considered my feelings and has been there for me as long as I can remember. There is no doubt she can read my thoughts purely from my facial expressions and know exactly how I feel. I am so thankful to have her by my side on our special day.
Liam Grant
Groomsman
Liam is Nathans best-friend of 3 years now, and has grown an amazing friendship full of memories and laughs. Liam is someone that is practically one of my brothers and is my main man to chill out and play some video games and drink some beer with. He is the nerdy guy out of the group and is the king of movie references. Liam is truly the best friend someone could ask for and I couldn't be more appreciative of all the bar hopping, video game all nighters, late night food eating, and movie watching we do. I am excited to have you by my side for the wedding.
Hailee Gower
Bridesmaid
Hailee is Leah's best friend and "righthand-girl". I first met Hailee through band at school, and by the time we got to high school we were inseparable. After four years of getting me through high school, she continued to push me to choose a career that I truly wanted. If it wasn't for Hailee and her underlying support, I would not be where I am today. It's safe to say she knows a part of me some have never met, and I am thankful for her huge heart, cheeky humor, and ability to find something funny in every situation! I'm glad to have someone in my life where if I were to trip and fall, without hesitation you would fall bigger to make me feel less embarrassed. You do not find someone like that every day! I am so thrilled to have you with me on our big day!
Kyle Dutcher
Groomsman
Kyle is my oldest brother and has helped me out a bunch. He has encouraged me to continue and push towards my goals and support me. He loves to tease Leah and make her feel welcomed into the family. Kyle was the first person to open his doors and let me live with him. Overall he is a person that loves to help as much as he can and is a super caring brother. He has always had my back when ever I needed it and I couldn't be more appreciative. I am glad to have you as my brother and I am so excited to have you by my side for the wedding.
Caitlin Moore
Bridesmaid
Caitlin is Nathan's sister and my future sister-in-law. I did not meet Caitlin until about a year after Nathan and I got together, but when I found out she was moving to Kansas I was so excited. Caitlin has always looked out and cared for me like I was her real sister, and I will forever be grateful for that. Without hesitation, she jumps in to help me with what I need before I can express that I need a hand. She is very thoughtful of others and those around her, and has spent countless hours listening to me ramble on about random things. A memory I will never forget is when we spent seven hours shopping for a singular dress, and we had a blast doing it! I'm delighted to have you there for our special day and am so excited to be your sister!
Tanner Moore
Groomsman
Tanner has been in my life for a little while now and is married to my sister Caitlin. Ever since I met Tanner he has been someone who will go out of his way to help you when you need it, he has always been there to help you move things, pick up things with his truck, go out for a drink, or need some good anime recommendations. I am glad you moved here from Mississippi and I am glad to have you apart of the family and have two amazing nieces from you and Caitlin. I am excited to have you as one of my groomsmen.
