Wedding Party
Haley Schwahn
Maid of Honor
"Steph and I became sisters over 10 years ago now! We have walked and talked and dreamt of the magical day when we found the man of our dreams. So happy Steph and Taylor found each other and I am so honored to be one of the maid of honors!"
Samantha Mannix
Maid of Honor
“Steph is my beautiful big sis. I couldn’t ask for a more amazing, loving, thoughtful sister and best friend! She has been my biggest role model and such an inspiration my whole life. Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to copy everything she did. Whether it was grades, tennis, or clothes, I wanted what she had. Now, Steph has a true love that I can aspire to have one day. I’m counting down the days until I get to witness Steph marry the love of her life. I am beyond thankful that Taylor changed Steph’s whole world. They could not be a more perfect match. I cant wait to welcome Taylor into our crazy family!”

"Steph has been the most amazing big sister I could’ve ever asked for! I’ve always looked up to her because of how motivated she was to do her best no matter what. I’m extremely grateful for how close we’ve gotten over the past few years and wouldn’t change it for the world. Then, once Steph met Taylor I knew it was meant to be. Just how they looked at each other and how well Taylor treats her is truly incredible. Ever since we heard the news of the engagement it’s all I can talk about when people ask me about my family. I’m so so so excited to see my big sister walk down the aisle to marry the love of her life, her one and only. I love them both so much and can’t wait to see what their future holds!!"

"Steph and I met via Facebook (typical millennials) the summer prior to our freshman year at NWMSU. We both studied dietetics and became friends instantly in the first class we had together. Some of my favorite memories with her include organic chem class, food science, and our 2 hour trips in the car to and from Omaha on the weekends during the school year. Our nutrition related friendship grew into a friendship where we could talk about anything and everything and laugh and cry with one another. A common topic of conversation was relationships. I was extremely happy for Steph when she started dating Taylor- she seemed happier than ever and so confident in their love. I’m so excited to see you two finally tie the knot and wish you a happily ever after! Love you!"

"I knew when I first met Steph that she would be my future sister-in-law. She was so different from anyone Taylor had ever dated. She was so genuine, kind, and down-to-earth, and Taylor would light up every time he talked about her. So when he called me to tell me he was going to ask her to marry him, I was beyond excited to have a sister!! And was even more excited to stand by her side as she marries my baby brother! Steph, I’m so glad you’re becoming a Synhorst and I can’t wait for August!!"
Kylie Darlington
Bridesmaid
"Within 5 minutes of meeting Steph for the first time, we became instant friends! We have so many similarities and share a lot of the same passions. We have been through a lot together and have supported each other through the good times and bad. She is one of the most kind-hearted and self-determined people I know! So excited to see what the future holds for you and Taylor, you deserve the best!"
Paul Synhorst
Best Man
"Not only have I been blessed to have my son ask me to be his best man, which I have not yet been able to come up with words to express how much that means to me. I am also blessed to have Steph join our family. When I was told they went back to Montessori days and how they met, I thought that was just too crazy not to mean something. Steph, you just amazed me with all your nutrition knowledge. I am soooo happy for you Tay Man, for the both of you, it is so obvious how much you guys mean to each other. This is a match made in heaven. I am very happy and proud to have you, Steph, as my daughter-in-law. We welcome you into our little circle. I now can say that I know someone who can eat a baked potato plain :)"

"Taylor and I met in sixth grade at Lux and pretty much have been best buds ever since. We have so much in common so it's always been easy to hang out and develop a lifelong friendship. Since day one he's always had my back whenever things got hard and that's why I value his friendship so much. Now Steph on the other hand...she's somethin else. Didn't like her from the beginning. Just kidding she's awesome and perfect for Taylor and I'm so happy for them! Steph and I have similar taste in music so we go back and forth sharing the best workout songs, and you know what they say, people who show you new music are important. I'm excited to be a part of these two (and Jackson's) lives in the future!"

"I’ve known Taylor for many years now but it wasn’t until after high school that our friendship really started to grow. I knew that whenever we’d hang out it’d always be a good time. Taylor has always had my back no matter what. He’s full of interesting facts and I always learn something new every time I see him. Since Stephanie came into the picture a few years ago I can see that she makes him very happy and I’m glad I could be a part of their journey."

"Taylor has been my bro-in-law for a little over a year. However, in the 6 years I've known him, I consider him a brother. The dude is calm, cool and collective. He knows what he wants, and he sticks to his guns. He's smart, handsome and fun to chill with. I'm super happy that he found an awesome girl to be with for the rest of his life. I'm honored to be included in the wedding party, and will be there to support him and Steph any way that I can. I look forward to celebrate with him, with his family and with all of his friends on the big day. I know with him and Steph running the show that it will be a good one. Cheers to your lives together, and the many memories to come."

"Taylor and I became friends in 6th grade and have remained close friends for almost 15 years. We've skated and biked all over Lincoln, been workout buddies, rode motorcycles together, been golf partners, and done so much more. Taylor has grown into an honorable young man that I am proud to call my friend. I consider myself lucky to have him in my life and can't wait to make new memories with him and his better half. I am so happy for Stephanie and him and can't wait to see what they accomplish together."

"Taylor and I's friendship began in the 6th grade at Lux Middle School. From that point on, passion for Xbox games and pyrotechnics allowed our friendship to grow. I became affectionately known as “Keebler” around the Synhorst household, where my bike could often be found near the back door. I have always been the nerd of the friend group, but that doesn’t necessarily make me the smart one. My favorite memories with Taylor include lighting off fireworks under bridges, floating on the dog run creek after a thunderstorm holding on to floating tree branches, and running through the park in the snow wearing only swimming trunks. Today, I reside in Overland Park, KS and works as a civil engineer."
