Alexis & Samuel
Wedding Party
Ashley Steer
Matron of Honor
Ashley is the beautiful sister I never had growing up. Whether it is having an hour long conversation just about cinnamon rolls or lefse day or sitting in the living room with drinks in our hands complaining about how big of a pain Jamison is, I'm glad I can have her by my side on our special day!
Alex Sele
Best Man
Alex has been my friend since we were kids. We were close in high school and have become even closer since. We have done quite a bit of fishing together, including Maple Lake, where we ended up losing our anchor (long story). No matter what path life leads us down, I know we will always have each other's backs.
Tyanna Ovens
Bridesmaid
Tyanna is my older cousin but I have always looked at her like an older sister. She is one of the only ones I can talk to about my crazy family because she completely understands. I was honored when she asked me to be a part of her big day and I was blessed when she agreed to be a part of mine!
Jamison Steer
Groomsman
Jamison is a fun guy to be around. He would always come to hang out with Shaun and I at APT 302 or the three of us would go out and stalk our other friends around town as they were heading to a party. I look forward to having him as another brother.
Jenny Lee
Bridesmaid
Jenny has always been like an aunt to me. We have been on so many crazy adventures together, from the countless days of too much drinking in Mexico and Punta Cana, to all of the random trips to St. Cloud or Duluth just to go to Shopko. I am excited to do our special dance on the dance floor.
Colin Gibbons
Groomsman
Colin: holder of many titles, including long lost cousin, Mexican father of the groom, and Dominican father of the bride. We have so many memories made with him throughout the years that we like to look back on and laugh about, including our trips to Mexico and the Dominican and sharing our 21st birthdays. We are blessed that we can share another special day with him.
Kara Eken
Bridesmaid
Kara was so quick to welcome me to the family. Going on the ghost tour at Nopeming Sanatorium was so much fun and I look forward to more adventures in the future.
Cale Eken
Groomsman
Cale is my older cousin. We weren't too terribly close but we still have some good memories together, from hunting to the lady in the red dress to me walking in on him singing.
Amber Eken
Bridesmaid
Amber is beyond sweet. I enjoyed the time we went to Acres of Terror with Sam screaming "Michael!" as we were going through the pitch dark school and when we stayed at Lynette's place and Sam tried to scare us down in the creepy basement.
Adam Eken
Groomsman
My one and only brother. We have many great memories together, mostly of me picking on him and all the times of scaring him. My favorite time that I scared him is when I snuck into the house when he was home alone and he didn't think I was around. I hid down in the basement and I started knocking on the wall, which freaked him out. I was forced to confess to him later.
Carissa Murphy
Bridesmaid
Carissa "Murph" has been my friend for years (going on 9 years). We never really got off on the right foot, but our shared love of food and music is what brought us together.
Kai Habedank
Groomsman
Kai has been my friend for many years and was my go-to baseball partner. We share many memories, even though they are not all great memories (hitting him in the face with a baseball), but I enjoyed our fishing trip up to Lake Winnipeg.
David Peroni
Honorary Groomsman
I remember Lexie telling me about how sweet and amazing her cousin David was and I always just brushed it off. That was until I met him and then I knew why. You can tell he has a big heart and he is so down to earth. He is willing to give his shirt off his back for anyone.
Shaun Hoffart
Usher
Shaun and I went to Northland together and we were roommates our second year. Shaun will always be the crazy roommate to remember. There were many many late nights of drinking with friends and going out pranking others. I still don't think he will ever forgive me for driving past his car accident.
Joe Cossette
Usher
Joe is my uncle and a great guy. We do not get to see each other very often, but when we do, it is like we just picked up from where we left off. We share a similar passion for our Minnesota Vikings and we stand by them no matter what. SKOL!
Chad Frazee
Usher
Chad is married to my cousin Jocelyn. He is a great guy to talk to, whether it is about which beer I should try next or if its talking about the latest Vikings game, whether we won or loss. We look forward to more Kubb championships in the future.
Nicole Hokenson
Personal Attendant
I have always considered Nicole one of my aunts. She is funny and so much fun to hang out with. I have enjoyed all the memories we have together, especially all of the concerts and all of the late nights spent at Jenny's. Nicole is so beyond organized and always eager to help that I knew she had to be my go-to on our special day!
