Wedding Party
Sarah Anderson
Bride
Sarah has always been labeled as “daddy’s princess”, and yes, the stubbornness and never afraid to speak her mind has been deeply rooted in her personality - it’s all part of her charm. She can be a challenge when she’s passionate about something, and you best believe you’re right if telling her she may be wrong, because everything she does is driven by heart.. and sass. She listens, she learns, and she lifts others up, even when the weight she carries herself is heavy. For those who know her personally, you know she loves fiercely and deeply. It’s this same mix of strength and softness that makes her and Travis such a powerful force. They both believe in loving loudly, speaking up when something is wrong, and in having each other’s back every step of the way.
Travis Reiter
Groom
Travis is stubborn and loyal in equal measure. He notices the little details, lives for the small moments, and will sacrifice his own comfort just to see someone he loves smile. He wears his heart on his sleeve, not that he’d ever admit it, and has always wanted to find the person who can match his depth. That’s exactly what he found in Sarah. They’re cut from the same cloth: devoted, driven, and determined to show up for their people without hesitation. Together, they provide an oasis away from the demands and chaos of their day to day lives.
Shane Anderson
Father of the Bride
He’s the steady heart in the background of my story as the quiet strength, the constant guidance, the voice reminding me I’m capable of anything. My forever hero, and now the proud father watching his daughter step into her own forever.
Shawn Reiter
Father of the Groom
He’s always expected the best from Travis, helping shape his resilience and determination along the way. In true fatherly fashion, he’s one of his biggest supporters especially when it comes to his son’s happiness. We’re grateful to celebrate this day with him.
Sophie Kircher
Mother of the Bride
She raised me to stand on my own two feet, and she loves seeing me happy. Welcomed Travis into the family fold with open arms, but who hasn’t?! I’m thankful she’s here to celebrate this moment with us.
Sylvia Reiter
Mother of the Groom
Her love and guidance helped shape the man he is today - thoughtful, kind, and full of heart. She’s thrilled to stand by him as he steps into this new chapter of his life.
Jacquie Petersen
Maid of Honor
What began with her being Melissa’s best friend soon became one of Sarah’s greatest gifts and over 25 years later, she’s still here! They’ve spent the last 18 of those years choosing each other as friends through every high, low, move, and milestone. Fun, caring, and loyal to her core, Jacquie is the kind of friend who always shows up and always brings the joy. It means the world to have her standing beside the bride for this moment that’s been a long time coming!
Pabst
Honorary Groomsmen
Pabst Kennedy is part Blue Heeler, part fetch enthusiast. You’ll find him begging for treats in Travis & Sarah’s home.
Everett Lambert
Officiant
He’s the life of the party and the steady friend who shows up when it matters most. Loud, loyal, and full of emotion (a true Cancer through and through), he brings laughter to every moment and heart to every memory. The kind of friend who reminds you that joy should be celebrated loudly and love should be felt deeply. We couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without him leading the way.
Myla Krininger
The Matchmaker
She’s the friend who unknowingly held both halves of this love story. Having known Travis since school and later working alongside Sarah, never realizing the universe had plans for all three of us. Travis introduced her to his childhood Best Friend a the man who became her husband, Kris, and she returned the favor by introducing us. Now we get to follow in their footsteps. She’s Fun, stubborn, and a delightful amount of chaos — she’s also one of the most sincere and loyal hearts you’ll ever meet! We’re forever grateful she saw the spark and made sure we didn’t miss it!
