Wedding Party
Sam Howard
Best Man
Sam's been in my life since college, and I also was privileged to stand at his wedding. We've counted on each other, trusted each other, and grown together. He's a best friend and a constant mentor to me, although he tries to debate the mentor part. I'm inspired by Sam's worth ethic, self belief, and freedom. I love you Sam.
Carey Finchem
Matron of Honor
Rachel's best friend of a decade. Queen of editing important emails and unconditional love. Ask her about reproductive rights or the art of estate sale shopping.
Sam Rivedal
Groomsman
I met Sam on my dorm floor in college. We quickly realized that it was going to be a friendship that carried on past graduation no matter where we both went. He's one of the nicest people I've interacted with, almost to a fault. I'm inspired by his positive attitude, his fearlessness, and his confidence. I love you Sam.
Maddie Howard
Bridesmaid
Rachel's beloved sister-in-law. Queen of advising on floral arrangements and making everything feel joyful. Ask her about fueling your body with compassion or how to hit your center splits.
Paul Howard
Groomsman
I met Paul before I met Rachel, on my first outdoor climbing trip to Devils Lake. He's been a great friend to me and has been nothing but welcoming of me into his life and into his family. I'm inspired by his bravery, his growth, and his sense of independence. I love you Paul.
Alexandra Springer
Bridesmaid
Rachel's wonderful soon-to-be sister-in-law. Queen of recipes everyone will ask for and having your back. Ask her about keeping your kiddos healthy or crocheting literally anything.
Brad Jones
Officiant
Human dad, cat dad, friend. One half of one of the most admirable partnerships we know. His love and care are genuine and unmatched, we are lucky to have him in our lives at all, let alone as our officiant.
