Courtney & Kyle
Wedding Party
Kristi Bender
Matron of Honor
Kristi is Courtney's cousin and soul sister. Best friends since a young age, their friendship has evolved from barbie dolls and playdates to traveling the world, becoming margarita connoisseurs, and dance floor lovers. Six years ago Courtney stood by Kristi's side at her wedding as her maid of honor and now the time has come for roles to be reversed.
Andra Trakalo
Bridesmaid
Andra and Courtney met playing soccer in high school. Initially, Courtney "disliked" Andra due to the obnoxious sock tape and matching eyeshadow, but thankfully they moved beyond this and quickly bonded over blue pennies. Their friendship has continued and they have been inseparable through all stages of life since.
Kylie Erickson
Bridesmaid
Kylie and Courtney met through Andra in high school and Courtney was quickly welcomed into their friendship. Kylie has been a constant in Courtney's life over the past ten plus years.
Ally Cruikshank
Bridesmaid
Ally and Courtney were neighbors growing up. From their first sleepover, to the trips to Camp Snoopy, neighborhood night games and concert performances, and high school soccer these two have been best friends ever since.
Carly Arhart
Bridesmaid
Carly is Kyle's sister, but Courtney's friend. When you talk about getting a sister in law, it doesn't get much better than this. These two clicked early on and are excited to share more memories in the future.
Gracie Schroeder
Bridesmaid
Gracie is Courtney's brother's Zach's girlfriend... what a mouthful. Simply put, future sister in law. Many memories have been made at hockey rinks over the past few years and Courtney and Gracie are looking forward to the next chapters of life together (whenever hockey ends that is!)
Anina Smith
Honor Attendant
Anina is Courtney's cousin. Their friendship has evolved from childhood playdates to happy hours on the patio.
Livi Bender
Flower Girl
Livi is Courtney's goddaughter and the cutest child alive (but we aren't biased, right?). The sweetest addition to the family and likely will be the cutest one on the big day!
Kevin Sturgeon
Best Man
Kevin is Kyle’s younger, less attractive, and less athletic brother. Kevin is a low maintenance, go with the flow kind of guy who is down to play any sort of yard game at the cabin or hit the golf course. Wherever it is, you can count on Kevin to be hungry and make bets for who has to make him his next meal. On a more serious note, Kevin is Kyle’s go to guy and best friend and he's the perfect one to be standing next to him on the big day.
Zach Driscoll
Groomsman
Zach is Courtney’s younger brother. They grew up as best friends and not much has changed. Over the years, they’re bond has remained strong from soccer fields to hockey rinks. Courtney and Kyle like catching Zach’s hockey games when they can and spending time with Zach and Gracie. They look forward to Zach finishing school and being closer to home!
Cameron Doyle
Groomsman
Cameron is Kyle's cousin and go-to Xbox friend, which Courtney definitely loves. The two grew up together and have shared many memories throughout their lives together. From vacations to Pittsburgh to visits in LA, Cameron is always down for an adventure.
Cale Arhart
Groomsman
Cale is Kyle's brother-in-law. When Cale married Carly, he didn't realize he was signing on for two brothers who would be beyond competitive in everything they do. The boys enjoy hanging at the lake and playing yard games and making bets on who has to make the next drink.
Peter Flock
Groomsman
Peter is Kyle's college friend and former roommate and teammate at NDSU. The two can usually be found talking lacrosse or grabbing a drink... and talking lacrosse. Peter (and Marissa) are always down for a game night or a round of darts.
Luke Thiele
Groomsman
Luke is Kyle’s childhood friend. The two played sports growing up together and have been friends ever since. No matter where life takes them, Luke is always someone that Kyle can count on and wants to be around.
Brock Peer
Usher/Hype Man
Brock is Kyle's friend and roommate from college. Brock, Tyler and Kyle were lucky enough to share a floor in a house that one would have expected to fall down with a stiff wind. They bonded over activities such as throwing furniture off the roof and Youtube yoga videos.
Tyler Miller
Usher/Hype Man
Tyler is Kyle's friend and roommate from college. Tyler, Brock and Kyle really bonded when Brock and Kyle instilled an "open door policy" while living together much to Tyler's distain. He's also single so ladies, if you enjoy yourself some Nascar and Beers feel free to ask for his number.
