Samora & McKenzee
Bridal Party
Maddie Lambert
Maid of Honor
Maddie has been one of McKenzee’s closest friends since high school. Maddie knew Samora from their friend group and encouraged McKenzee to act on her hugeeee crush for him. She's a super supportive friend and the type of person who would drop anything to be there for you. Maddie and McKenzee have been through a lot together and as McKenzee was one of the Maids of Honor at her wedding, Maddie is now returning the favor! How to find Maddie? On the dance floor, or debating with Samora on Harry Potter Trivia.
Sami Stewart
Bridesmaid
Sami and McKenzee met when they were placed in the athletic dorms together at Wichita State University. They bonded over tv shows, sarcasm, and McKenzee asking her to crack her back/ help her into bed because the calf cramps from running stadiums were no joke. She's a true, loyal friend who is the best listener and cheerleader. Best place to find Sami? By the dessert table, eating cake! Chocolate, of course.
Lucia Talavera
Bridesmaid
Lucia and McKenzee met at Wichita State and started out as work out buddies. They became close friends through endless hours of studying for Industrial Engineering classes and were positive influences on each other as they grew through college. Lucia is energetic, optimistic and fun and she brings so much light into other people's lives. Where to find Lucia? Listen for her amazing laughs and "Woooooo's!" while she tears it up on the dance floor.
Alejandra Villalobos
Bridesmaid
Ale and McKenzee became friends through Sami and grew closer as they pushed through IE classes together. Ale has been there for many moments in McKenzee's life with her supportive and caring nature. Their studying sessions and movie nights were always filled with giggles and singing. Ale has become a part of the family as she's spent several holidays with the May/Kroeschell's and will be missed greatly when she moves back to Colombia. Best place to find Ale? Next to the DJ, requesting Danza Kuduro!
Carley Larson
Bridesmaid
Carley and McKenzee met at Wichita State through Industrial Engineering classes. As they studied their buns off, they realized how similar they were and grew closer over the last few years of college through long talks, workouts and lots of laughs. Carley has a great character, and she tells it to you like it is. She's funny, smart, and caring with an adventurous spirit.
Jacob Klitzke
Bridesman
Jacob and McKenzee met in college through an engineering scholarship program at Wichita State. They bonded over tv shows, movies, and similar music tastes. Jacob introduced the squad to the Wichita Chili Fest, which has become a group tradition to attend. Though he will never admit that McKenzee's favorite movies are the best, he is a true friend that is sincere, honest and witty. In case you're wondering, you can find him either leading the conga line or debating with Bill Kroeschell (Bride's dad) over the most ridiculous topic you can think of. If you have any IT questions, Jacob's number is 1-800-DidYouTryTurningItOnAndOffAgain?
Charis
Junior Bridesmaid
Charis and McKenzee are cousins on the Riebe side! Charis is fun, kind, and charismatic with some serious skills in track & field. She is all-state 100 meter hurdles and 4x400 qualifier! Samora and McKenzee are very excited she could join us on our day!
Lindzee
Junior Bridesmaid
Lindzee is McKenzee’s cousin on the Kroeschell side of the family. Lindz is strong, compassionate and supportive and has been there through many phases of McKenzee’s life.... including the massive snowstorm in Minnesota that shut down the highways #AnotherOneBitesTheDust. She’s got a great taste in music with an impressive memory, storing more lyrics than you can think of. It’s been exciting to watch her grown up as McKenzee has also grown up beside her. We are both excited that Lu will be joining us as we say “I do!”
