Wedding Party
Madison Johnson
Maid of Honor
Madi Shae is Krista’s cousin. They grew up alongside each other attending the other’s school dances and sporting events, and spent their summers together at the cabin. While adulthood has shown to distance relationships, the strength of Krista and Madi’s bond has grown fiercer.
Anthony Nienaber
Best Man
Anthony is Adam’s younger brother. There was never a question of whether Anthony would be Adam’s Best Man. From picking rocks in their childhood together to attending the Houston Rodeo together, there’s no one else Adam would want at his side.
Monica Nienaber
Bridesmaid
Monica is Adam’s younger sister. Krista and Monica have a lot in common. They’re both the youngest sister in their families and they have both grown up having to fight two older brothers. Adam and Monica have always had a strong bond as most brothers are protective over their younger sisters. Monica is graduating with a degree in psychology to better understand how she managed to survive in a household with Adam and Anthony.
Stuart Dolan
Groomsman
Stuart is Adam’s close friend from Houston. The two of them have a strong bond over golf, Michelob Ultras, and losing their golf balls to the marsh. They have a strong love for the Houston Rodeo, but an even stronger love for the Cookoff Competition.
Erin Maruska
Bridesmaid
Erin is Krista’s sister in-law. They share a decade’s worth of four-wheeling, mudding, shooting, and raising hell. When Erin first joined the family, Krista was overjoyed to finally have a sister to look up to. Krista and Erin share their love for out-shooting the boys then making a big meal to sit around and share their stories.
Andrew Maruska
Groomsman
Andrew is Krista’s eldest brother. Andrew has long been Krista’s mentor, but more than that, he has been the family’s dare devil and life of the party. When Krista and Adam lived out of state, Andrew made sure to prioritize reminding them of the simple things in life: mudding (with a jacked up golf cart), a thick cigar, and country music.
Courtney Nelson
Bridesmaid
Courtney is Krista’s sister in-law. They share a common (fanatical) interest in Harry Potter. So much so, that they traveled to Harry Potter World in Orlando, Florida together. When Courtney joined the family, Krista was shocked that her grandmother’s prayers of Zach becoming a priest didn’t come to fruition. As time went by, that shock faded and joy filled its place.
Zachary Maruska
Groomsman
Zach is Krista’s older brother. As the middle child, Zach grew up not wanting a younger sister. Alas, Krista wouldn’t unstick from the bottom of his shoe and they have since grown to be very close in their adulthood. Zach is the wise one of the family and always provides the best cleaning solutions (which is why he has the honor of being in the wedding party).
Reese Maruska
Flower Girl
Reese is Krista’s super cool niece. She is an avid lover of all things mystical and has a colorful imagination.
Tripp Maruska
Ring Bearer
Tripp is Krista’s awesome nephew. He follows his father’s footsteps closely with being the family’s dare devil and life of the party. He intends to reprimand those who aren’t dancing at the reception, so stay on your toes.
