The woman, the myth, the legend: Shannon Hanson. She’s basically Chuck Norris’ female counterpart, and a certified bada$$. We're also all convinced she acquired Billy Mays' soul back in 2009 when he passed, though it was sad to lose him, he lives on in Shannon.

Officiant
One of our closest friends who is always down for an adventure. Him and Rachel are our go to cat sitters and adventure buddies. When deciding what we wanted our wedding to be like, we knew immediately that he was the best person to give the honor of officiating. Will has always been a trusted friend, and a gem of a person.

One of our sisters from another mister. (Tasha is Isaac's Partner) She has been one of our best friends since before we were together and has been one of our biggest cheerleaders. We enjoy baking and cooking meals together, and taking adventurous vacations!
Wedding Council
Nothing beats the time Isaac and Marriah got drunk and ran barefoot through dried up corn fields... Then Marriah getting way to confident and trying to jump on a hay-bail and deciding wayyy too late that it wasn't a good idea. Isaac is our fun loving best friend who somehow manages to intentionally capture the worst pictures of us, all in good humor of course. Isaac is such and amazing and bright person in our lives!
Wedding Council
Steph is Shannon’s little sister. Shannon called Steph the instant her and Marriah got together so she was the first to know about us! A spitfire of energy and enthusiasm. Steph is based out in LA where she works at a record label (Who would have thunk both of us would end up with degrees in the arts). She is our go to gossip girl, and an amazing confidant.
Wedding Council
Shannon’s childhood best friend going on 26 years. Accident prone but truly knows how to be the life of the party. Maggie and Shannon, despite being hundreds of miles away the last 10 years, have kept a tight knit friendship.

Marriah first met Nikki when she was hired at Go Ape. Nikki quickly became one of our best friends originally bonding over how odd the experience of being a transplant in Nebraska is, and how the corn must have gotten in these people’s brains because “they cray cray”. Though she moved back east, we all still share lots of funny animal pictures and love laughing at the darnedest things our work staff say!
Flower Child
Cora is Marriah’s little sister. At the time of the wedding she will be 9 years old. Once she heard we were engaged the first words out of her mouth were “Can I be the flower girl?” And of course the answer was “yes!”. Cora is the life of the party, even at her young age she owns the limelight.
