Wedding Party
Erin Donahue
Matron of Honor
Erin is the sister of the Bride, wife to Lisa Donahue, and Mama to our sweet Tess and Waverly. From the moment Rachelle knew what a wedding was, she knew that Erin would be the one standing beside her should the day ever come (spoiler alert, it's coming!). The reality is, Erin has been standing by Rachelle's side for 33 years. When she first learned to walk, Erin was there ready to catch her. When Rachelle experienced heartbreak, Erin was there to hand her a tissue and get her out of the house. When Rachelle got her dream job, Erin was there saying, "I knew you would get it!" It is only right that Erin be there when it's time to say, "I do." Erin is truly a one-of-a-kind human. Anyone who has the pleasure of knowing her is a very lucky person. She has a very special way of making you feel heard and loved. She feels like home no matter where you are. Erin is thoughtful, loving, caring, selfless, brilliant, and artistic. In short, she is, and always has been, the perfect role model and sister Rachelle could have ever asked for.
Noah Kaufer
Best Man
Staff Sergeant Noah James Kaufer is the Groom’s younger brother. He and his wife Morgan have recently welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Peyton Jane. Noah is a joy to all and a pain to many, his presence of playfulness and energy has turned many a calm dinner party into a ruckus game night or bonfire. An avid outdoorsman, Noah shares many qualities of the Groom’s grandfather David, who loved hunting, fishing and being out in nature. He also emulates the Groom’s other grandpa, Carl, in his quick wit and need to sing the loudest. Noah is a gentleman through his acts and not a scholar by any means, he is to us, the Best Man.
