I am beyond excited to marry my best friend and can’t imagine doing anything else in my life without her by my side.
Sarah Ritter
Maid of Honor
Sarah is Stacy’s twin sister! Older by just a hair at 6 minutes. Sarah is the ying to Stacy’s yang. Growing up Stacy was always the instigator of all the grand schemes forcing poor Sarah to follow along which usually resulting in us getting in trouble 😂 Life on the farm however would of been boring without each other! Sarah currently lives in sunny California with her dog Bentley.
Malachi McGinnis
Best Man
Malachi is the grooms closest friend since they were 14. They bonded over playing football, pumping iron and video games growing up. Malachi moved back to the area 2 1/2 years ago where they were able to reconnect again as adults and pick up where they left off as kids.

Groomsman
Ben is Mason’s cousin on his moms side and is a very intelligent and super fun person to be around. The past several years the two of them have grown closer as Ben has joined Mason and his family for several memorable Peters holiday experiences. Also, if he ever try’s to tell you he’s not a good golfer, he’s lying. 😂
Sarah Goyette
Bridesmaid
Sarah Goyette is one of Stacy’s best friends from childhood. We have been friends since end of 2nd grade and have been there for each others highs and lows and everything in between. Sarah’s current obsession (besides her two kiddos) is making sourdough bread from scratch and her chickens 🐓
Christopher Pilarski
Groomsman
Mason and CJ met in 2018 at Gabbys in Winona. They bonded over their love of old school video games and have been close friends ever since.

And now it comes full circle with CJ as a groomsman in our wedding.

Groomsman
Mason and Joey also met at the same time as CJ at Gabbys in Winona. Mason walked in and started talking to Joeys group of friends. He looked over at Joey who was drinking from a drink with a pink straw and an umbrella in it and Mason laughed and automatically said to him, “we are going to be friends,” and they have ever since. Him and his wife also joins our video game nights and always has a smile on his face.
Danielle Borst
Bridesmaid
Danielle (or Dani as everyone calls her) is Stacy’s other best friend from childhood. Having been friends since before kindergarten and growing up right down the road from each other there isn’t a thing in life we haven’t experienced together! Dani is a talented interior designer and an amazing momma to 3 of the most adorable girls. Her oldest daughter Ryelle is our flower girl 🌸

Naomi Voigts
Junior Bridesmaid
Naomi is Stacy’s youngest niece. At 10 years old Naomi is a quiet gentle soul with a great love of animals and nature. She loves coming up to go swimming in our pool and spending time with Aunt Stacy and Uncle Mason. I’m so proud of her sweet spirit and kind nature and who she is growing up to be. 💕
Alice Ritter
Mother of the Bride
The woman who made part of this possible (since I wouldn’t even be here without her 😂) My whole life I have always looked up to my mom. I don’t know anyone who has ever worked harder, done more, given more and has been a better example of what a Godly woman should be like. Mom is currently retired from the farm for the last 4 years and enjoys spending time outside and in her gardens.
R.I.P. David Ritter
Father of the Bride
Dad, I never thought that I wouldn’t have you there with me on my wedding day. I never thought you wouldn’t be walking me down the aisle or having my first dance with me. As difficult as this day will be without you there I know you are smiling down and watching from Heaven. 🤍💍
Maria Peters
Mother of the Groom
Maria is the mother of the groom. As the oldest child and being the only son, mom and I have always had a close relationship. Mom has always been there for me since day one, and has seen me through the good times and bad times and has stood by me and loved me no matter what. She always found ways to make my childhood feel special and I have some of the best memories because of her. I know mom has been just as excited as me for this day to come and I know that tears will be shed from both of us as I start this new chapter in my life.
Alan (Al) Peters
Father of the Groom
Where do I even begin. As my dad’s only son, he passed down his love and knowledge of many great things, but specifically his love of rock music from the 80s and many “educational stories.” I have a million great memories from my childhood thanks to my dad as well. Anything from snowmobiling trips in Hurley, trips to WI Dells, visiting the races with dad and my Grandpa, to bring out on the boat on the chain of lakes blasting Kenny Chesney and Kid Rock music and many many more memories that would take up the rest of the space in this page so we will leave it here.
Ryelle Borst
Flower Girl
Ryelle is Stacy’s best friend Danielle Borst’s 4 year old daughter. As Dani’s first born, Ryelle is a smart and fiercely independent sweet little girl who only knows me as Auntie Stacy. I’m so excited for her to be part of our special day 💐
Macklan McGinnis
Ring Bearer
Macklan is Mason and Stacy’s friends Malcahi and Kelsey McGinnis almost 3 year old son who is a sweet boy who loves all things cars and trucks. His favorite song is wheels on the bus and he is the best big brother to his baby brother Zeke 💕 we are so excited for him to be part of our special day!
Seth Jahr
Usher
Seth is Stacy’s oldest nephew at 19. Seth tends to be on the quite side but has the best dry sense of humor out there. Seth is following in his late dads footsteps by working in construction.
Aaron Voigts
Usher
Aaron is Stacy’s youngest nephew at 16. While he doesn’t typically tend to be the talkative type if you get him talking about farming or hunting it’s a safe bet you will have a lot in common. Aaron has been a hard worker from a young age growing up working on the farm with his mom and dad and will most likely follow in their footsteps someday carrying on our family legacy of farming.
Haley Jahr
Honor Attendant
Haley is Stacy’s oldest niece. Haley is 22 and just started working as a nail artist and is just as talented as her mom is at it. Haley and Stacy have always had a special bond and have always been more like sisters than aunt/niece. I’m beyond proud of the beautiful woman she is becoming.
Dominique Budde
Honor Attendant
Dominque is Stacy’s friend and business partner. We went to high school together and reconnected in 2020. Dominique loves many things including her love of antiques, anything vintage (specifically 50s-70s), bargain hunting with Stacy, hiking, traveling and so much more. Stacy and Dominique have spent countless days laughing til our cheeks hurt. Im excited to have her be part of our special day!
Kelsey McGinnis
Officiant
Kelsey is a good friend of both Stacy and Mason. She is married to Malachi McGinnis who is masons best friend from childhood. Kelsey is a stay at home momma to the two cutest boys ever 💕 she also is a talented singer and artist. We couldn’t think of anyone we would rather have marry us and count ourselves lucky that she agreed to it!
