Dalton & Olivia
Wedding Party
Sam Rice
Bridesman
Sam, the middle child, is undoubtedly the sweetest of the 3 Rice children. He's a golf pro, currently living in Des Moines, IA with his wife Sydney. We're trying to convince them to wise up and move South so if you're a local- feel free to invite Sam to your favorite course for a round of golf... in return, you'll likely end the round a better golfer than you started!
Hunter Shaull
Groomswoman
Hunter is the middle Shaull child and currently lives in Minneapolis, MN. She's pursuing a career in Prosthetics/ Orthotics with the intent to both design and construct the best possible products for her patients. Once she finishes school in MN she's heading to Des Moines for residency!
Mitchell Rice
Bridesman
Mitch is the youngest and wisest of the Rice children. He can often be found in the front row of a St. Cloud State Huskies hockey game, grabbing a beer with a B-list celebrity (that he's somehow best friends with) or driving to North Dakota to visit his A-list girlfriend Alex. He'll probably be famous one day so make sure to introduce yourself!
Brynn Shaull
Groomswoman
Brynn is the youngest of the Shaull kids and her free spirit is infectious. She currently resides in Des Moines, IA where she works as an X-ray technologist.

Logan Wiltse
Usher
Logan is Dalton’s friend from childhood, high school, and college. If you need a good laugh, Logan is the guy to call!
Dave Herbert
Officiant
Dave is a family friend of the couple who’s known them since the very beginning of their relationship. From trips to Cabo to Friendsgiving and countless football tailgates, he’s the steadfast man we can always count on to calm the crowd, pay the bill and make us laugh no matter the circumstance. We love Dave and can’t wait for everyone to see him in prime time!
Welke Kids
Reader / Pup Patrol / Ring Bearer / Flower Girl
Annika, Ryker, Aksel, Maverick, and Arbor (from oldest to youngest) are the amazing children of Karl and Lori Welke. The Welke family is Olivia and Dalton's local family in Charlotte. Karl is a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon at Atrium Health, where Olivia works for her residency training- they even accepted job offers at the same time! Lori Welke is Clint Shaull's (Dalton's father) stepsister. We are so grateful for the Welke's love and endless hospitality!
