Sam & Josh Tie the Knot
Meet Our Wedding Party
Nancy Koeppe
Mother of the Bride
Who has taught me to be a strong, independent woman who doesn't take cr*p from anyone? It's mom. She is powerful and wise and gives amazing advice. Also with a tender, loving side, she has taught me balance. She's a blast to spend time with and puts life in perspective.
Kim Koeppe
Father of the Bride
If anyone can make me cry laughing, it's Pops. He has THE BEST dad jokes on earth. He is the sweetest, most loving, kind person I know. He has taught me how to see the light in the dark and not take life too seriously. Roll with the punches and embrace it!
Becky Duncan
Mother of the Groom
She is hands down the best person I know. I truly cannot put in words how lucky I am to call her mom.
Rick Duncan
Father of the Groom
I have never been one to idolize celebrities or sports stars. My dad has always been my hero and i would be happy to be half the man he is.
Emily Koeppe
Maid of Honor
Emily is my favorite (and only) sister! She is also one of the strongest women I know. She is 2 years and 11 months older than me, but we love challenging others to guess who is older. Emily is a magnet for fun. She is also who I go to when I need a brutally honest opinion on my outfits. And laughs with me at the best dad jokes!
Elizabeth Kennard
Bridesmaid
The original 'Beebers." Liz may as well be my sister too. Unique as they come. She's funny, witty, animal loving, and has the heart of a unicorn. Liz gives stellar advice and is loyal to boot. She also gets the same misunderstanding looks I get when she's trying to be sarcastic.
Ellen Colesanti
Bridesmaid
AKA bestie pants. Ellen and I met during college and immediately clicked. We couldn't count all of our crazy adventures if you paid us to. Well...depends how much you paid us.
Heather Sahlin
Bridesmaid
Heather and I have been friends since we met when we were knee-high playing soccer together. Our friendship very well may have crossed many lifetimes. Heather is one of the most creative, caring, selfless humans I knows.
Jennifer Malas
Bridesmaid
Jenae! Jenny is my and Emily's un-biological sister. With such a kind heart and sweet spirit, every hangout is a treat. I would spend all day every day kayaking and camping with Jenny if I could.
Kim Sykes
Bridesmaid
Kim and I met in grad school and hit it off right away. Kim's sense of humor is one of a kind and can make my day in seconds. Smart, thoughtful, and clever, Kim inspires me every time we hang out.
Amanda Crenshaw
Bridesmaid
I am not only fortunate to have met Josh, but also his wonderful sister, Mandy. Mandy is funny, loving, and an amazing mother of 3. Her love and commitment to family is unparalleled.
Adam Duncan
Best Man
My little bro. He is not so little anymore! It is still hard not to picture him as a 5 year old version of himself... buck teeth, bucket hat, beer belly, and a patch over one eye (i kid you not). I knew he would always be my best man.
Robert Warnick
Groomsman
Who knew the rec spec sporting kid claiming to be my future neighbor would end up being the friend of a lifetime. It wouldn't matter if it had been two hours or two years since I had last seen Rob, the conversation would pick right back up from where we left it.
Andrew Crawford
Groomsman
Andy was my first roommate other than siblings. He ended up feeling more like a brother than a friend. I still have shirts I stole from him back in those days!
David Huff
Groomsman
He goes by "Chicken" and as long as I am around it's going to stay that way! He is a better friend than I could ever ask for. The truth is he actually saved my life... but it didn't take long at all before I repaid the favor.
Robert Idol
Groomsman
Where to start with this one!? A quote come to mind... "Good friends stop you from doing stupid stuff. Best friends do that stupid stuff with you." EDJ
