Rebekah & Todd
Wedding Party
Brent "Grom" Kinsey
Best Man
My right hand man, best friend, and only brother for 30+ years. Have a full drink and an open mind when he gets a hold of the mic.
Adam "Big Guy" Rodenberg
Groomsman
A hard worker, a gentle giant, a stand up gent, and a great guy to have a bourbon and talk sports with.
Sean "Baumer" Baum
Groomsman
Baumer and I met in high school while working at Baskin Robbins in Daytona Beach, FL, and were inseparable until I moved to KC. Still the best job I've ever had!
Mark "The Jabberwocky" Jabaly
Groomsman
My oldest friend in the wedding party! We grew a block from each other, went to school together forever, and I would constantly raid his parent's kitchen.
Ariel "AP" Peralta
Groomsman
My first friend in KC! AP and I moved to KC within months of each other, lived in the same building downtown, worked together at the Royals, and were roommates before Reb pulled me out of the "Adult Frat House".
Matthew "Matty" Koehler
Junior Groomsman
Matty is the elder statesman of the nieces and nephews and more mature at 13 than I was at 20. A fantastic lacrosse player, a top tier boy scout, a wealth of knowledge, and tied with his Oma for most talkative.
Bobby "BTB" Taylor
Usher
"Evenin!" Arguably the funniest person in the wedding party, Big Time Bobby Taylor is a fantastic camera guy (I hope he doesn't read that), a mediocre roommate, and a must call anytime you visit Chicago.
Jonathan "Shitburger" Pope
Usher
This social butterfly gave me my start on the TV side of things in KC. He's a truly good hearted dude, the life of the party, and a damn good camera operator.
Eric "Master Gardener" Zornes
Usher
EZ was the manager of the softball team that brought Reb and I together. A sneaky good athlete, a fantastic all around TV mind, and he really fills out a hot dog costume nicely.
Robert "Titi" DeCorah
Usher
One of my oldest friends in the wedding party, Titi and I grew up going to school and surfing together in DB. He finally settled in KC a few years ago, feverish ratted his way into sports TV, and met his wife at our weekly pick up softball game.
Nolan "The Pirate" Woodford
Officiant
Nolan, along with AP, moved to KC about the same time as I did, and was one of my first friends in town. We've worked together most of our adult lives, and there's not a more suitable person to marry the two of us.
Sam & Seth Bleish, Ben Koehler
Ring Bearer
These 3 guys have truly shown the Shea family what boy life is all about. They are always on the go and wrestling someone or each other. Along with always finding new ways to make us laugh, these guys are always down to play catch, swim, water slide, or any adventure to keep us feeling young... and usually out of shape.
Erin Koehler
Matron of Honor
My shortest, older sister who has been able to fit under my chin since I was in 5th grade. She is single-handedly to blame for my Starbucks and Target addictions, and now that I am older... my love of good wine, German beer, and all things cheese. Erin is my partner in the "Neanderthal Forehead Club" in the Shea fam.
Katy Bleish
Bridesmaid
Katy is my oldest sister, and I can still remember crying all night after we dropped her off at Mizzou when I was just in kindergarten. I've always said she was like a really "cool mom" growing up. From slumber parties in her apartments to traveling to her lake house for weekend trips, KT has taken care of me for as long as I can remember.
Rachel Shea
Bridesmaid
Rachel is my sister closest to me in age, and the one I have spent the most time living with. From growing up together and fighting over clothes to being roommates living on the Plaza fighting over who is taking the trash out, Rachel and I have been through it all! There is never a shortage of fun when I hang out with her, and we can spend hours talking about everything in life like the best of friends.
Abby Bleish
Bridesmaid
Abby is my oldest niece and was born two weeks after I graduated high school. I have watched her grow up and couldn't be more proud of the young woman she has become. She does just about everything you could think of from soccer to cheer to piano to track and much more. Abby is so down to earth and has a great head on her shoulders, and I can't wait to see all the great things she achieves.
Lauren Kinsey
Bridesmaid
Lauren is my future sister in law and the wife of Todd's brother. We quickly became fast friends on my first visit to Florida, and we bonded over the joys and trials of dating a Kinsey boy. From blasting "Reggae Shark" on repeat in the car to setting world speed land records on our bikes, we already have so many memories and stories that it makes me can't wait to see what the future holds for all of us!
Shelley Kinsey
Bridesmaid
Shelley is the little sister of Todd and the youngest sibling in the Kinsey clan. I am excited to be able to call her my sister and give her some more female support to combat Todd and Brent's constant shenanigans. I love her outlook on life and adventurous spirit. You have to admire someone willing to move across the country to pursue their passion.. especially if that passion is in Kansas :)
Elizabeth, Evy, and Charlotte
Flower Girl
Our 3 youngest nieces! Elizabeth is Katy's youngest. Evy and Charlotte belong to Erin. These girls are full of spunk and energy, and they give their Uncle Todd a real workout whenever we see them. They have been asking to be our flower girls for several years now, and I know they will do a great job.
