Marlena & Patrick
Wedding Party
Lydia Burke
Maid of Honor
Marlena's best friend and soul sister! Lydia and Marlena met in Spain during college, and a year after moving back to the states, they ventured to Kansas City together. Many apartments, moves across the country, and distance between, but still best friends 10 years later. Hasta siempre, mi amor.
Scott "Bill" Wong
Best Man
Scott, AKA Bill, is one of Patrick's best friends. Roommates for 6 years in KC and weekends full of golf, Chiefs football and NHL/Rory video games, where Patrick tends to dominate consistently on all pillars.
Ela Van Eperen
Bridesmaid
Ela is Marlena's big sister and the one who introduced her to a love for theatre and singing. As sisters, we couldn't be more different, but I wouldn't have it any other way. She's been a role model, an amazing mother to my four nieces and nephews, and a superwoman who I admire in life.
Thomas Kershisnik
Groomsman
Tom is another one of Patrick's closest friends. They met on day 1 at Creighton and lived together, along with Bill, for 6 years in KC after college. Golf trips, ski trips, whiskey tasting and smoking BBQ are a few things they excel at together.
Nora Johnson
Bridesmaid
Nora is Marlena's younger sister who is more like a twin or mini-me than a sister with 7 years difference! It's been so fun seeing Nora and my relationship grow over the past few years, and I admire who she's becoming, how independent she is, and the fact that she finally enjoys drinking red wine. It's about time, Nora!
Nate Scearcy
Groomsman
Nate and Patrick are also friends from Creighton. They were highly rated Biology lab partners, frisbee teammates and in the same fraternity. Over the past few years, Nate and Patrick's friendship has grown around playing golf, craft beer drinking and a friendly KC vs STL rivalry. (Pictured: Not Nate, but his son)
Josh Higgins
Officiant
We are so honored to have our friend, Josh, officiate our wedding. He is one of the most genuine, caring and thoughtful people we know, not to mention, one of our best friends. We can't wait to experience this day and have Josh conduct our ceremony!
