Courtney & Kyle
Wedding Party
Jennifer Malle
Maid of Honor
Jen and Courtney met at Missouri Southern State University in 2014..."We loved Microbiology so much, we took it twice!" Not exactly, but needless to say, we became the best of friends! No matter when, Jen is the greatest listener to my endless blabber, we laugh, we cry, we love to shop, and were always down for a homemade dinner and Mario Kart...but who knows, a home improvement project is always on the table! Courtney was a bridesmaid when Jen married Brandon Malle in 2017 they live in Kansas with their two corgis, Einstein and Suki! Ask Jen how she celebrated her 30th!
Ryan Decker
Best Man
Ryan and Kyle grew up at the hip, only being two years apart! They got to explore life together from an early age and grew up challenging each other over the years. Racing go carts, playing sports and theme parks were always on the schedule! Kyle was Ryan's best man when he married Jennifer in April of 2021. Ryan and Jennifer are Realtors in Greenville, SC and dog parents to two beautiful pups, Piper and Josie!
Anna Beck
Bridesmaid
Anna and Courtney also met in Microbiology at Missouri Southern! Anna and Jen frequented Courtneys house many evenings to "study" some, of course, but really just best friends with an excuse to hang out all the time! Anna and Courtney have the greatest memories of dubsmash, late night chats, painting Annas dining room, grieving over cakes with funny icing phrases, and finding a reason to celebrate anything! Anna moved frequently as a travel nurse after college, but no matter where, she has always been 1 phone call and a few hours travel away! Courtney was a bridesmaid when Anna married Jon Beck in 2019. They live in Lee Summit, Missouri with their 2 little girls, Lydia and Katie, Casey and Maggie, their energetic German Shorthaired Pointers! Jon and Anna just welcomed their THIRD German Shorthaired Pointer to the family, Tuco!
Derek Ware
Groomsman
Derek and Kyle have been best friends ever since being strapped into go carts at an early age. Their dad's, Mike and Dan, were the true inspiration behind going fast and spent a number of years in Saint Louis, MO becoming lifelong friends. Derek recently moved out to Palm Springs, California to continue going fast as a Instructor at BMW Performance Center. We got the chance to visit him earlier this year!
Stephanie Lung
Bridesmaid
Stephanie and Courtney became bonus sisters in 2017 when their parents got married! It was so cool finally getting a sister and only 6 months apart in age! Stephanie and Courtney first bonded on a long weekend trip to Las Vegas with their soon to be parents! We connect over our love for plants, gardening, painting and crafts! Courtney was a bridesmaid when Stephanie married Caleb exactly 5 months earlier in May! They live in Saint Louis with their cat, Diamond, chickens and honey bees! Congratulations to The Lungs!
Weston Kohl
Groomsman
Weston is Kyle's younger brother that holds it down at the farm. Both of them have been able to enjoy farm life and connect through their love of sports, video games and Aussies. Weston is going into 8th grade and is looking forward to this next football season and fishing as much as possible. Watch out for his dance moves!
