Wedding Party
Sarah Gora
Bride
Sarah, my soon-to-be wife, professional sass master, and the only person who can roast me and melt my heart in the same sentence. She’s got a PhD in eye rolls, a black belt in sarcasm, and somehow still the biggest, warmest heart I’ve ever known. She keeps me laughing, keeps me humble, and let’s be real, keeps me alive most days. I don’t know how I got lucky enough to be marrying her, but I’m not asking questions. Forever with Sarah is going to be full of love, laughter, and me pretending I’m in charge. I love you forever plus forever baby! ❤️
Saydee Juedes
Bride
She’s my soon-to-be wife, my favorite human, and the reason I believe in soulmates. Saydee is wildly smart, deeply loving, and somehow knows exactly how to love me, even when I’m being a whole handful (which is often). She’s got a heart of gold, a mind like a whip, and just the right amount of sass to keep life interesting. She makes me laugh, feel seen, feel safe, and damn, she looks good doing it. I still can’t believe I get to marry her. Total upgrade. No notes.
Corey Jorsch
Best Man
Meet Corey, my son, my best man, and one of the kindest souls I know. He’s not only loving and thoughtful, but also endlessly supportive, the kind of person who lights up any room with his warmth and humor. A devoted cat dad and an incredible human being, he brings joy to everyone he meets. We couldn't be prouder to have him by our side today, not just as my son, but as the amazing man he's become.
Megan Wiese
Maid of Honor
Megan is truly one of a kind! She is the kind of person who always brings light into every room she walks into. She has been there through all the ups and downs and never judges, just listens. She loves just cruising around blasting the music and is always up for the totally random adventure! We are so lucky to have her to celebrate our special day with us!!
Emily Ertl
Matron of Honor
Meet the bride's ride-or-die, protein shake drinking, gym-crushing best friend. She's the definition of loyalty with a side of sass, and she could probably lift you and your emotional baggage. Whether it's burpees or bridesmaid duties, she handles everything like a total badass. She's been by the bride's side through hard times, glow-ups, and leg day; and now she's leading the charge down the aisle as the ultimate hype woman,
Sydney Jorsch
Bridesmaid
Some people marry into a family and quietly blend in. Not Sydney. She came in with creativity, kindness, and a Pinterest board for everything. From DIY decor to emotional support during family meltdowns, she's the ultimate combo of talent and heart. Saydee and Sarah didn't just get a daughter in-law, they scored a bonus best friend and daughter who's amazing, hilarious, and possibly too good at creating charcuterie boards!
Melissa Lawrence
Bridesmaid
Melissa. She’s been in the bride’s life forever and has never sugarcoated a single thing, and that’s exactly why we love her. Equal parts sass and wisdom, Melissa is the friend who tells it like it is, whether it’s about questionable fashion choices or questionable life choices. She’s loyal, hilarious, and always ready with a reality check or an "apple juice" or "poor man's margarita" (usually both). The bride wouldn’t walk down the aisle without her.
Rayne Albrent
Bridesmaid
Saydee's little cousin, but more like a little sister! From the very beginning she's had a special place in my heart, not just family by blood, but bonded by love, laughter, and a lifetime of memories! Watching her grow into the amazing woman she is today has been an absolute blessing! She loves all of her animals and also the random trips to the casino to blow money lol! We're so happy that she gets to be a part of our "I do" day!!
Ashley White
Bridesmaid
She may be a newer friend, but she showed up like a Mastermind, fierce, fearless, and ready to take on the world (or at least the dance floor). Ashley is strong, loyal, and a total badass with a heart of gold and a playlist full of Taylor Swift. Whether she's dishing out real talk or leading a singalong to "Cruel Summer," she’s the kind of friend you meet once and keep forever. The bride knew she found her people the moment they bonded over lyrics and workouts.
Cassie Pecquex
Bridesmaid
Cassie is Saydee's childhood best friend and has been by my side through every season of life. From scraped knees and sleepovers to heartbreaks and big dreams. She's been there for it all. Sweet, caring, and one of the most loyal souls I know, she has always shown up for me without question. She is more than just a friend, she's family, a constant light in my life and someone I'll be forever grateful for! We are blessed to have her be a part of our special day!!
Katie Pontious
Bridesmaid
My Irish twin, Katie. Just months apart, but closer than most can understand. She's loving, loyal, and always unapologetically herself. Fiercely protective, wildly funny, and the kind of person who shows up when it matters most. We've grown up side by side, argued like sisters do, and laughed through every season of life. She's my built in best friend, my go-to for everything, and truly one of the strongest hearts I know. Life wouldn't be the same without her by my side, chaos and all!
Jess Pontious
Bridesmaid
Technically a sister-in-law, but honestly, she’s just a sister with better style and sharper one-liners. Jess is the perfect mix of down-to-earth, wildly fun, and, let’s not forget, the perfect lesbian we all aspire to be. She brings the vibes, keeps it real, and makes everything better just by showing up. She’s fun as absolute shit, full of heart, and the brides wouldn’t dream of doing this day without her.
Angie Phillip
Bridesmaid
She’s the calm in the chaos, the ride-or-die who's been there through every twist, turn, and late-night cry session (usually with a cat in her lap). Angie is laid-back, loyal, and the kind of best friend who grounds you just by being there. She’s seen it all, said nothing when it wasn’t needed, and showed up every single time. She’s also a proud cat mom, so if you see fur on her dress, it’s basically a badge of honor. We couldn’t imagine this day, or life, without her!
Mallory Christianson
Bridesmaid
Mallory (Maldawg) is one of my best friends. The perfect mix of sweet, caring, and total badass. She's the one who'll hype you up, hold you down, and handle life like a queen with a wild heart. Always there with love, laughter, and a fierce kind of loyalty that never wavers. She brings calm in the chaos and fire when it's needed most! Life's just better with her in it, ride or die, no doubt about it! So excited to celebrate our day with her in it!
Kelly Wokatsch
Bridesmaid
Meet my sister, Kelly! Decades apart and ten times the protector. Fiercely badass with a heart of gold, she's the one who's always got my back, no questions asked. Loving, caring, and unapologetically bold, she shows up in every season of life ready to lift me up, champion of my dreams, and kick any obstacle aside. Growing up under her watch meant never facing the world alone, she's my hero, my guide, and the family's resident legend!
Tory Sorenson
Bridesmaid
Tory is one of the real ones! She has not been in my life long, but she showed up like she's always belonged. Smart, loyal, and an absolute badass, the kind of friend who just gets it. She's had my back from the jump, no questions asked, and her energy, honesty, and heart are everything! Some people take years to earn trust, she earned it with her actions. Grateful that her and her little bun in the oven get to be a part of our day!
Sara Barttelt
Officiant
She's not just a best friend, she’s the bride’s birthday twin, hype woman, and now, wedding officiant (because of course she does everything). Sara is strong in every sense, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and she brings that same power and heart into every role she plays. Whether she’s crushing workouts or crushing her speech, she’s a total badass who lifts everyone around her, literally and figuratively. There’s no one more perfect to help kick off this next chapter… and probably lead a post-wedding HIIT class, too!
Ray Burns
Usher
Our best guy friend, Ray! The one who'll roast you without hesitation but give you the shirt off his back five seconds later. Honest to a fault, loyal to the core, and always good for a laugh (usually at your expense). He's the friend who keeps it real, shows up big, and somehow balances sarcasm with heart. Proud to have him standing by us as an usher - wouldn't be the same without him in the chaos!
Stella
Miniature Bride
Our miniature bride, Stella! Our sweet, sassy little niece who’s already stealing hearts (and probably the spotlight). She’s full of love, attitude, and just the right amount of spoiled. With her big personality and even bigger smile, she’s got us all wrapped around her finger. She’s been practicing for this moment like it’s a runway, and trust me, she’s ready to shine. We couldn’t imagine this day without her sparkle and sass!
Brantley
Ring Bearer
Saydee's little cousin, Brantley! Our ring bearer and the tiniest ball of sass you'll ever meet. He's smart, sharp-tongued, and somehow already mastered the art of a love-hate relationship (mostly love...with a side of attitude). He keeps us laughing, keeps us on our toes, and deep down has the biggest heart. Wouldn't trust anyone else to carry the rings......or steal the spotlight!
Melanie Knoepke
Personal Attendant
She’s the boss in real life and at this wedding, and honestly, thank God for that. Melanie is the friend who gets things done, keeps everyone sane, and somehow makes multitasking look effortless. She’s sharp, supportive, and always five steps ahead (with a checklist in one hand and a mimosa in the other). Whether she’s handling last-minute chaos or hyping up the bride, she does it all with brains, grace, and just the right amount of sass. Basically, the bride’s secret weapon in heels. We are so thankful she's by our side on this special day!
