Wedding Party
Rachel VanReenen
Maid of Honor
Cousin to the Bride. Always up for a road-trip or a concert!
Tom Pavick
Best Man
Friend, spiritual mentor, and fellow co-leader of church small groups, with additional interests in orthogonal gourmet cooking. Tom is a high-tech land surveyor who every commuter in Duluth, MN loves. Why? He is often the one in charge of large road construction projects that will shut down major intersections for months at a time.
Debbie M.
Matron of Honor
Neighbor and friend of the bride for many years! She is always ready to crochet, watch a Jane Austen movie, or bake with the bride!
Matt Robbins
Groomsman
In 2nd grade, the groom got on the wrong bus on the first day at a new school. Matt was the first person who talked to Ryan. They have been friends ever since! Matt is well known for having a profoundly thick beard and is the only groomsman who lives on the east coast!
Jemma Hutchens
Bridesmaid
Best Friend of the Bride from College. Introduced Joy to Ryan at her wedding!
Michael Hutchens
Groomsman
Michael is the groom's cousin. Michael and his wife Jemma are the reason why the future bride and groom met. It was at Michael and Jemma's wedding that Joy yelled at Ryan and he has been smitten ever since.
Kristi Johnson
Bridesmaid
Lifetime friend of the bride. The two have had many adventures together even with miles between them!
Bradley Hetland
Groomsman
Ryan spent nearly every weekend in elementary school at Brad's house. Bradley's family had a camcorder, toy guns, a 4-wheeler, fireworks, and action figures. Rumor has it that there are hours of footage of Ryan and Brad making home videos. Actually, totally not a rumor. They exist.
Hannah Smith
Bridesmaid
Cousin to the bride. Has been with the bride during many shenanigans!
Josh Roudebush
Groomsman
An unlikely acquaintance who became a friend, who became family through marriage and also a fellow brother in Christ. (He also thinks he has a great sense of humor. TBD)
Samantha Stec
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the bride. Always the first to join the bride in a Disney sing-a-long!
Jesse Schmidt
Groomsman
A good friend and spiritual accountability partner of the groom. Jesse is a machinist who refurbishes WWII airplanes for a living and spends his summers racing dirt bikes.
