Wedding Party
Abby Horn
Matron of Honor
I met Abby through my good friend and her now husband Tanner. He stopped going to lunch with me cause I wouldn't stop asking him to propose to her ;) I'm so glad that he finally realized I was right! Abby is the ride or die friend asking why we have to die! She truly is the BEST and I’m so thankful to call her my best friend! She really is my ride or die, with more logic! ;)
Anna Hibbard
Bridesmaid
From our days on Continental (CLR) riding our bikes around at lunch to wine country in SAN FRAN to always searching for the best new workout! Anna is always there for the good and the bad! It may sound like we've known each other forEVER and even though it truly feels that way, its only been a few great years! #funwiththehibbards
Kellee Craddock
Bridesmaid
it was a rocky start with Kellee's bubbly personality, it didn't help that we met at a crossfit gym as workout partners and she was doing great as I died slowly! Thankfully she was nice and bubbly and wanted to be friends! We have been through out lot together in our short friendship and i'm grateful she saw past my bad attitude in the gym. :)
Griffin Santino
Bridesmaid
Griffin is another casualty of my crossfit years! From dinners at Flips, to brunch at the Wedge and falling asleep in strange places ;) We have had some great times together the past few years and been through a lot! I'm thankful for that first dinner at Flips and trip to Cowboys. LOVE this girl!
Jennifer Redmond
Bridesmaid
Sister of the bride! From steeling clothes from her room while she showered before school to watching her raise my amazing and GORGEOUS nephew! Needless to say we have been through a lot together, I mean our entire lives! I couldn't start my marriage without her by my side and I am beyond happy she will be there!
Elizabeth McMillan
Bridesmaid
We were college roommates, sorta! :) We met freshman year of college and have been there for all the big moments and lots of small but memorable ones. She's seen me through a lot of firsts, from spring break crashing freshmen year to Libba's first baby boy, and now my wedding! Cannot wait to have her there for another first! and last! ;)
Megan Dobson
Bridesmaid
Meg and i met through Abby, they went to college together! When Abby moved to Tulsa for a hot minute, Meg and I bonded over many road trips to Stillwater and a few to Tulsa! She took me to my first OSU game in the suites, i'll never be able to go to another game as a normal spectator again. We entered into eachothers lives at the most perfect time!
Kasi Crawford
Bridesmaid
From our first real grown up jobs to many concerts/music festivals to different cities! She took me to Vegas for the first time, where my indecisive behavior nearly drove her insane, but we made it through! She is the best travel buddy because she loves to travel and makes decisions. :) She is the ying to my yang! :)
Jessica Perbeck
Bridesmaid
Sister of the Groom and one of the sweetest and most free spirited person I know! I truly cannot wait to call her my SIL (sister-in-law)!! :)
Brad Crist
Best Man
Ahhh Bradford. I don't know where to start or where to begin with this guy. Brad and I met as children on the Fairway Fins swim team. I have so many memories with this kid. From swimming, our first day of every new grade through senior year, my first traffic ticket at 14 (our first of many encounters with the 50. Sorry Susie.), our first beer (both illegal and legal), breaking my collarbone on his 21st birthday, and bro-trips. Fun Facts: Brad is an avid surfer, snowboarder, amateur magician, competitive yo-yo champion, and travel enthusiast. When we were younger Brad gave his computer over 200K viruses downloading Eminem songs. Seriously though ask him to do some yo-yo tricks if you meet him.
Dalton ballard
Groomsman
Dalton and I met in High School and he's always been a hit at Chateau de Perbeck. Vicki calls him the "handsome devil" and even though he'll never admit it. He is "Marky Mark's" favorite. I can't pinpoint a specific moment that made us best friends but "take the short cut" may be the first most memorable. It was the first day of summer after our junior year. Dalton and I were driving in my car. We came to a fork in the road with a stop sign. Dalton said, "take the short cut." The short cut was to cut through drive way and a yard to another drive way and ultimately the street. I took the short cut and drove my car off a retaining wall. I screamed, "why didn't you tell me about the wall!" and Dalton goes, "I don't know I've never taken it before"! Instant bonding moment.
Danny Mapes
Groomsman
Danny is another guy where I can't begin to narrow down a moment of our friendship to put here. One of my favorites might be one time Danny walked into my house with a case of beer to see my dad. He immediately walked backwards and set the case down out of sight. He then walked back up to my dad and goes, "Hey Mr Perbeck! How are ya!" then shook his hand. Danny arguably has been our friend groups ringleader. He has also kept us together over the years by planning various "bro-trips". He was instrumental in us purchasing tickets to Fyre Fest. Luckily he also was the one that got us to cancel realizing the cluster it would become.
Ross Ringer
Groomsman
Ross AKA Ricky Ross AKA Jim Jones and I met freshman year in Spanish class. I remember he walked in wearing a Hollister polo and had highlights in his hair. I thought to myself, is this guy serious. Turns out the highlights were, "natural due to the sun shinning into holes in his lacrosse helmet." I know that sounds aggressively white, but Ross actually has a pretty good natural tan. Fun Facts: Ross is the Chef of our group, he's especially great a grilling. If you get the chance ask him about grilling at the lake. Also Ross loves cats, big cat guy.
Jonathan Bhamani
Groomsman
Jon and I have known each other since we were in the womb. Our mom's were friends from growing up in the North End. My Great Grandma and his Great Aunt were neighbors attending the same Church. There are countless memories of Halloweens, birthdays, sleep overs, and the finest Italian food Kansas City has to offer. Jon decided to attend The Kansas State University a year after me and I was ecstatic. He joined the same fraternity and we lived across the hall from each other. This allowed us to form the worst beer pong team ever assembled. Beyond getting to see him every day for 3 years, I was proud to see him grow. While he was a student he managed officer positions in the house, always worked a job, and also a member of student government,
Drew Garcia
Groomsman
Known to many as the Albanian cause of his fashion sense and taste in cologne. Drew and I met in college at The Kansas State University. Drew was a grade lower than me, so I did not really know him much or hang out with him in the beginning. However he became my assistant treasurer and we began to get to know each. 8 years later he remains a mentee; but also more than that he has become one of my best friends, coworker, and roommate. Brittany often says she can't believe how "mean" I am to Drew given how close of friends we are. However the late great Stephen Hawking once said, " Men show each other affection through insults and black-holes ain't even that dark bruh. Matthew McConaughey traveled through one of those things and was fine"
John Forbes
Groomsman
Ahh John, my newest friend of the bunch but not the least. Its hard to find like minded people once you get out of school. John and I met while living in the same apartment complex in OKC. Virtually neighbors our two apartments accounted for 14 noise complaints in a year. Needless to say we didn't renew our leases, which provided us the opportunity to become roommates. John and I have a pretty similar dark sense of humor. Not sure what else to say about John here. He has a budding new career in Texas as Jerry Jones blood boy so that is exciting.
Cole Thomas
Groomsman
Cole and I met freshman year of college. He and I were roommates in our fraternity. The first interaction I had with Cole was via text message. We had not actually met yet but he arrived at the fraternity a day earlier than me and was apparently scavenging for the best beds and dressers to put in our room. My first memory of Cole was a text message saying, "hey buddy I looked through all the beds and got you one with minimal pee stains." That's the kind of guy Cole is genuine and ready to put himself on the line for you. He is one of the best guys I've had the pleasure of meeting. I would say my only criticism of this guy would be that his favorite thing to do is watch Sleepless in Seattle and cry. Also he exclusively shops at baby gap.
Aaron Deeds
Groomsman
A-Dawg and I met in college. I'm not sure how or why we became such good friends. He was a Pre-med major so we never really had any classes together. We did take history of rock and roll and golf together. Aaron was a perennial 4.0 student, president of our fraternity, and is now a doctor if you are impressed by those sort of things. However he has put his medical career on hold to pursue his one true love, rapping.Check him out on sound cloud; Dr. A-Dawg the Red. Its sort of like Big Daddy Kane meets the Beastie boys remixed with dying cats.
Ella Hargrove
Flower Girl
The first born daughter of my two best friends from highschool, Nikki and Dustin Hargrove. Thankfully they married and made things easy on me to keep in touch with both of them! :)
Jude Kohurst
Ring Bearer
My nephew Jude, the one i told you all about that my sister is raising to be an amazing, GORGEOUS, young man!
Gia Perbeck
Ring Bearer Assist
The Hound. A full blooded teacup chihuahua Gia is territorial and protective in nature. Living with Michael and Brittany has been hard for Gia as she only speaks Spanish. She enjoys running in circles and aggressively eating her food. Gia loves to be petted and if you stop she will constantly paw or nuzzle into your hand until you start petting her again.
Ann Redmond
Mother of the Bride
First my mother forever my friend! That is my mom! She is my favorite person and my true ride or die. She has been there from the begining helping me become the best version of myself and teaching me to treat others with love and respect. She is someone everyone wants to and can talk to about anything!
David Redmond
Father of the Bride
My dad is a kind and Godly man. He has always been there for me for as long as I can remember. He's moved me more times than anyone should ever move another person and has always been there to pick me up when i've fallen! He truly is the best dad there is.
Vicki Perbeck
Mother of the Groom
Vicki Distefano Perbeck First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Michael. My mom is a passionate person probably derived from her strong Sicilian heritage. She would do anything for her family and always stands for what she believes is right. Most people describe me as passionate and I attribute that to my mom. Its the hot-blooded Italian in us.
Mark Perbeck
Father of the Groom
Ahhh Marky Mark the Patriarch. What can I say about my Pops? He raised me and did a pretty bang up job if I do say so myself. If you disagree, well you can get the bleep out of here. I've always appreciated his hard working mentality and the sacrifices he made to afford me the opportunities I've had and enable me to purse my passions. Kids grow up wanting to be like Michael Jordan or Ryan Lochte. I never looked up to famous people only my pops.
