Wedding Party
Sierra Bloos

Sophia Schroeder
Best Woman
Sophia is Ryan's best friend since high school! Ryan and Sophia have been best pals since their Ravenna times together. They were in Speech and One Act together. They were the duo to be friends forever. Fun fact: Sophia was Selena's elementary school best friend before she moved to Ravenna and found Ryan! Sophia can be known as the one who "bridged" them together!
Kaia Johnson
Bridesmaid
Kaia is Ryan's little sister and is a joy to everyone around her! Kaia is currently studying music education at UNK in Kearney. Kaia has always been around for her brother and sister-in-law when times got hard. We are excited to have her in the line up of bridesmaids.
DeVere Larington
Groomsman
DeVere has been a longtime friend of Ryan. DeVere was in the UNK Marching Band with Ryan all throughout college. DeVere has been a consistent friend that Ryan would visit with during his time at Gothenburg as a band director. DeVere lived only 10 minutes away in Cozad which lead to many, MANY calls about their lives as band directors. As they shared a passion for music on stage, DeVere is proudly next to Ryan on his big day as well.
Natalie Bloos
Bridesmaid
Natalie is Selena's aunt. She lives in North Carolina and has been a huge influence on Selena's life and upbringing. As she would say, Selena is her "mini-me"! She is a great person to look for in a time of need. Whether that is for a hug, a cry, a gossip session, or a shot of tequila - Natalie is your woman!
Jacob Obrecht
Groomsman
Jacob aka "Obie" is the life of the party. Jacob has been a consistent friend of Ryan's since college at UNK. They were in UNK's drumline together. Jacob has always been the friend that can put a smile on anybody's face. He will be there for you when you need a hand and make all the hard times lively. No matter what, if he is around, it will be a good day.
Sadie Morrison (Uhing)
Bridesmaid
Sadie has been a long time friend since college for both, Ryan and Selena. Sadie was a part of UNK's music department with Ryan. Sadie was one of the first friends of Ryan that Selena met and they instantly hit it off. Sadie has always been supportive of the relationship and a great confidant of both!
Connor Morrison
Groomsman
Connor is Ryan's long-term boyfriend (joking, obvi... maybe). The dude that can be the life of the party, but be there for anybody if the party is going south. He is the sense of "consistent" in Ryan and Selena's life. You know exactly what you're getting when Connor is around! Connor was in UNK's drumline with Ryan and has spent many times with Ryan, laughing about their professors and shenanigans. Also: he is married to Sadie which makes this a 2 for 1 deal! We are super excited to have this Con-man joining us!
Hannah Johnson
Bridesmaid
Hannah is Ryan's youngest sister. Hannah is the sarcastic, witty, and unhinged friend that you always need around. Hannah is the type of person who will always be honest with you and be there when you need her. She is currently studying at UNL (University of Nebraska-Lincoln). As Selena has always been a family-first type of person, she prides in having all the sisters in the line up!
Greg Stoner
Groomsman
Greg is a great friend of Ryan. Greg has always been there for Ryan even in the UNK days. They have been in multiple musical events together - playing side by side on the trumpet. It only made sense that Greg would be in the line up!
Brooklyn Elwood
Bridesmaid
Brooklyn is one of Selena's closest friends. Selena and Brooklyn became friends when they were hired as English teachers at Gothenburg Public School. It became known to the students- wherever Selena was, Brooklyn was somewhere close!
Seth Johnson
Groomsman
Seth is Ryan's older brother. Seth has always been in Ryan's life for the sick and the healthy times. Seth has always been a phone call away for Ryan. Throughout their childhood and into adulthood, they're brothers at the end of the day. It is a proud day to be Ryan's brother!
