Tamara & Drew
Wedding Party
Emilie Moore
Matron of Honor
Nothing brings wives together quite like deployment. We both love orange, both have a cat with the same name, both have a beagle plus another dog, and now matching military husbands. It was a match made in best friend heaven.
Kevin Grothaus
Best Man
From kindergarten to senior year to the military to college, this bromance is Tamara's biggest competition at times, but one of the couples biggest supporters. He gets a front row seat.
Tayler Schmidt
Bridesmaid
This girl is always down for late nights crocheting while binging the Handmaid's Tale with wine in hand. I never dreamed of finding a friend whose weirdness matches mine perfectly, but she was friends with the groom first, so should I really be surprised?
Dax Johannsen
Groomsman
Younger, not-so-little brother. From enemies to best friends, they're not afraid to show that brotherly love.
Bekah Vander Stelt
Bridesmaid
You can take the girl out of Arkansas, but you can never take Arkansas out of the girl. Bekah and her hubby have become one of our favorite double date night couples, and it's easy to see why! We also get to share a life group at church. Never a boring Thursday night there!
Micah Partlow
Groomsman
Through the military Micah met and joined the groom and best man to makeup the Three Stooges of Nerds. Yep, they're never living that title down.
Alivia Grothaus
Bridesmaid
Wife of the best man, she may seem like she belongs on the groom's side, but this girl has been one of my truest and most supportive friends. Power couple. Brownie points when she games with the guys.
Austin Hayenga
Groomsman
This friendship is known to withstand working together at POET, late late nights, lots of beer, and Southpark. Those things sealed the deal for moving not one but both of us over the years into what is now our home. How could we ever repay him? Oh, right. Beer.
Lindsey Ruschmann
Bridesmaid
This girl loves me so much she'd help me carry a deep freeze up flights of stairs. I would take on a group of two-year-olds any day with this girl on my side, but while she's been a great coworker, we're a hopeless bowling duo.
Dan Moore
Groomsman
Nothing like bonding over military field training, videogames and D&D. Don't get it? Neither does the bride.
Shandra Goosen
Honor Attendant
Little brother's girlfriend by day, sassy gal pal by night. We love her almost as much as he does.
Jenna Vrueghendil
Honor Attendant
The true life of any party. Everyone needs a Jenna in their lives.
Sarah Ballou
Honorary Bridesmaid
God didn't give me sisters, but He gave me cousins, and that's the same thing. Although distance is hindering this girl from being here on the big day, distance has never hindered the bond we share as built in best friends.
