Jordan & Mason
Wedding Party
Nicole Welles
Matron of Honor
Nicole has been my best friend for almost as long as I can remember. The first day of Kindergarten, we just clicked, spending the first day together in school and after school as well. Here we are, 20+ years later going through life's most amazing moments together. Nicole and I have seen it all for each other; through family moves, doing school sports together, first boyfriends, first cars, high school dances, graduation, college, and even becoming roommates following college. We saw each other become single dog moms, made incredible memories with the assistance of our favorite local bars, and eventually realized we make much better best friends than we do roommates. But no matter if it was Fond du Lac, Omro or Oshkosh, we were always there for each other.
Buck Dumanch
Best Man
Buck met Mason through their Fiancé's long time friendship. They both share a mutual love and interest for cars, memes and their pets which truly bonded them. Buck has been a supportive role in Mason's life since being introduced. They're friendship truly runs off of sharing memes but they are also there for each other even for the serious parts of life. It doesn't get much more serious than committing the rest of your life to someone! Mason is grateful to have Buck beside him as his best man on his big day.
Sarah Dumanch
Bridesmaid
Sarah and I have been friends since our middle school era. Sarah is a friend that I can always count on to be there for her in a pinch. Sarah and I are not only good at having a good laugh and time, but they are also very good at getting our nails done and especially shopping. Between our friendship and animals, Sarah is always there for her whenever she reaches out. Sarah is one of the very few friends that she knows if she call, Sarah will answer. The soon-to-be Portz duo is very close with Sarah and her husband. They love enjoying cars together, grabbing a drink, grilling out, and making memories together. We are so thankful for both Sarah and her husband for their reliable friendship and we are thankful to be spending our big day with them.
Kevin Wilson
Groomsman
Kevin has been in Mason's life for 11 or so years. Kevin's relationship quickly inherited Mason as their tagalong. Mason and Kevin quickly bonded over their mutual love for video games and music. At one point, the duo even formed a band after Kevin started to teach Mason how to play bass guitar. Still to this day, the two of them like to still jam out to music, play guitars, grill out, play darts and reminisce on their favorite memories together.
Krista Wood
Bridesmaid
Krista is a friend from the middle school era. Krista can be counted on to rollerblade around town, play video games with, or take over the dance floor at any bar we walk into. Krista is the only friend who can make me feel like I am a carefree soul in a 26 year old body. In life, we always want to be our genuine and authentic self, especially with our friends. Krista is a friend who genuinely brings out the best quality in a person. Our friendship has been filled with endless giggles and endless adventures. Their friendship has withstood moves to Australia, Chicago and beyond. We have always made a point to see each other regardless of the space between them & that's true friendship.
Chris Welles
Groomsman
Chris was also introduced to Mason through their fiancé's long term friendship. Mason, being more on the shy side, truly enjoys hanging out with Chris and being around Chris because Chris really brings Mason out of his shell. Chris is easily described as the "life of the party" and we mean that in the best way possible. Although Chris and Mason don't see each other as often as they would like to, seemingly time doesn't stop between the two. They can always pick up right where they left off and they are always guaranteed to have a good time when they are together.
Johnathan Strehlow
Ring Bearer
Johnathan is the bride's second cousin. This role is particularly special to the couple as Johnathan's Dad was the ring bearer in the Bride's parents wedding.
Lydia Strehlow
Flower Girl
Lydia is the second cousin of the Bride.
Heather Kelbach
Bridal Assistant
Heather is one of Mason's closest cousins that I have bonded with since the start of our relationship and truly one of my closest friends. We talk almost everyday, sometimes I drag Mason out of the house JUST because I miss Heather. I want nothing more than to have her be apart of our wedding just as much as she is apart of our relationship.
