Bride
Bride
Matron of Honor
Jayne and Christi have been friends since High School; lovingly calling each other "bestie" as a nod to one of their shared favorite shows: Big Bang Theory. The two of them share a love of animal memes, 90's and early 2000's pop and hip-hop, morning Starbucks after dropping their children off at school, and Captain and Diets. Their dream is to own some sort of business together someday. For today, they'll see you on the dance floor.
Man of Honor
Sarah's brother. The only one in our wedding party that cried when we asked him to be a part of it. He understood the assignment. He is a teddy bear of a man, both physically and emotionally. Ben is a trivia wiz, a skilled public speaker, and loves Dolly Parton and The Golden Girls almost as much as his 6 children. He is the sole bother out of four siblings and has 5 daughters out of 6 children so his presence in a heavily female wedding party is nothing out of the norm for him.
Bridesmaid
Married to Christi's brother, Sam is adored by both of the brides. She is the best Auntie to their two kids, the most calming presence to counter-act Christi's anxious nature and a big sounding board for the wedding planning process. The brides are honored to have her in their life, and walking down the isle with them.
Bridesman
Christi's brother. The humor in their life and the male figure their son looks up to most in life. Mikey and Christi can often be found arguing over some sort of news event - Christi typically loses and Mikey and Sarah have a shared connection in running and using their hands to build things. They are honored he said "yes" to standing beside them...with a primarily female wedding party.
Bridesmaid
Brides' sister-in-law, married to Sarah's sister. Nicole is the gentlest soul the brides have the pleasure of knowing. Working in end-of-life care and preaching for the ELCA church on the side, Nicole devotes her life to others. And she gives the best hugs - we encourage everyone to try it out during the wedding. You won't regret it. Nicole is a practical voice in a massive family like the brides'. She is often a go-to for advice and the brides are ecstatic to have her walking with them.
Matron of Honor
Aunti Nicki, Sarah's sister and honorary Matron of Honor. Nicki is the fun-loving sister everyone wants around. Her laugh is infectious, her dance moves are unforgettable, and her love of family is fierce. She fights for those she loves - hard. She is the true matriarch of the Behnke siblings. Her signature "Cherry Bombs" yell can be heard near and far. If you want to hear it, we encourage you to attend the after party with her.
Bridesmaid
Christi's cousin - her first "bestie". Bridget and Christi have been close since Bridget was an infant. Christi babysat often and the two of them traveled often together. As they got older, Christi was a safe place for Bridget to land during rough days in college and Christi stood proudly beside Bridget at her own wedding. Now moms, the two of them spend their days dreaming of trips they can't afford and looking for the next excuse to drink fancy champagne together.
Bridesmaid
Bridesmaid
Christi's cousin. Carol is the namesake of Christi's mom, Carol, and is the JOY in the brides' lives. Carol is upbeat, caring, and attentive and is quite possibly the coolest person that the brides know. She is draw-droppingly beautiful and will likely upstage both of the brides but they don't mind...they're just honored to have her there with them.
Bridesmaid
Bridesman
The brides' son. Anderson is shy but incredibly witty, making Christi and Sarah laugh daily. He is thoughtful, respectful and sensitive. When he's not playing football or "cooking" while playing video games, he's usually making fun of Christi for trying to say things like "cooking", in the Gen-Z context. We can't promise a smile as he walks down the isle but we can assure you he WANTS to be there.
