Ben & Kristi
Wedding Party
Kelli Brennan
Maid of Honor
Sista, Sista--life in general is better with you in it. Thanks for being my confidant, best fran for 21 years and for dealing with my panic phone calls about the more ridiculous things in this life.
Adam Hook
Best Man
New phone, who dis? Hook mostly enjoys eating chili with the seniors at Wendy's during the week and will spend his weekends meal prepping with Uncrustables and Easy Mac. He's a crowd pleaser--always getting everyone riled up with his semi-inappropriate jokes. We met in college, and he was always the best influence on me.
Mieke Tackett
Bridesmaid
If you've met Mieke, you probably love her... I sure do! Forever thankful to be marrying Ben just so that she can be my sista. The other day, Mieke told me that she could potentially collect over 800 packets of seeds for me--and for real how does she even know how to speak such a beautiful love language?
Dustin Graber
Groomsman
Dustin's best shirt reads "Busche Latte" and he told me the other day that he bought a bunch of "Busch Swag." Don't let this fool you though, he's a supreme court justice.
Alli Gilroy
Bridesmaid
6 years ago, we decided to do something ridiculous and start school to be a physician assistant... and THANK GOD for Alli for always being there through the adventures (like Costa Rica and multiple Caribbean Islands) and the tears.
Lake Clark
Groomsman
I've known Lake since middle school basketball, and we roomed together freshman year of college. We've done our fair share of stupid things, and all I can say is TRASH CAN PLEASE, TRASH CAN PLEASE.
Emily Brick
Bridesmaid
Emily is the person I would call if I ever needed to hide a dead body...or if I wanted to get McDonalds at midnight... I mean, we all need an Emily.
Zac Hollis
Groomsman
Zac is the only guy I know that dreams of waking up at 5am just to go cut down trees with his chainsaw.
Meghan Sayles
Bridesmaid
I decided Meghan and I would be friends freshman year of high school when she looked at me from across the room and crossed her eyes and stuck her tongue out... I was like "yeah she's weird enough to be my friend." Now our conversations are like this "Hey Meghan, do you wanna take a 5 hour road trip in 2 days?" and she says "Yep, what do you want me to bring?" And let me tell ya, that's a glorious friend.
Ryan McLaughlin
Groomsman
Ryan teaches me anything I need to know to stay up to date on rap culture. We've spent the last year living together and working together after being friends since elementary school. Now we play volleyball and Ryan DOES NOT set the ball but only hits.
Sam Mimms
Best Man
We had four awesome years of living together, cramming at 3am for school, and doing all kinds of stupid stuff we shouldn’t have done. Sam has never been one to turn down last minute trips or late night beers. Now Sam is the number one garbage sales truck man in the world. From Kristi: The first time I met Sam, he said "hmm, where is my SWEATER VEST??" and from then on I decided I loved Sam Mimms.
