Wedding Party
Kristin Himmelspach
Maid of Honor
Kristin is the younger sister of Tara. She’s the sister most like myself which causes us to be the best of friends and the worst enemies all at the same time. However there’s nothing we can’t solve with a White Claw and a little Fireball. Kristin will be the one getting funky on the dance floor all night. Fun fact: when Kristin was born I called her the wrong name for a month hoping that we wouldn’t be able to keep her—-I guess I’m glad we did!
Ashley Hieb
Matron of Honor
Ashley is the older sister of Tara. Ashley is definitely the mother of the clan. She’s been my second mom my entire life. She can be fun when she becomes “Tequila Ashley” so watch out. She also blessed me with my two favorite humans on this planet, Mason and Lily, so I guess she’s alright.
Erica Scherr
Bridesmaid
Erica is a cousin of Tara. We’ve been close friends since we were little kids. We knew how to party then and we definitely know how to party now. Erica’s always down for a costume theme whether it’s Harry Potter, Macho Man Randy Savage, or Willie Nelson. She will definitely be cuttin’ a rug on the dance floor all night.
Kristy Seiler
Bridesmaid
Kristy is the childhood bff of Tara. We’ve been best friends since elementary school. We have the friendship of not needing to talk everyday, but being able to pick up right where we left off. We literally spent pretty much every day together growing up. I think we saw each other’s parents than our own some weeks. We’ve been lucky enough to even be able to plan weddings at the same time— which was helpful when one of us needed to vent!
Andrea Aldinger
Bridesmaid
Andrea is a friend of the Tara. Andrea and I met during volleyball a few years ago and immediately became instant besties. Andrea refers to me as her “meanest friend” which I don’t disagree with in the least. Anytime we hang out it’s full of laughs, ridiculousness, and probably too much beer.
Lily Hieb
Flower Girl
Lily is the niece of Tara and Zack. Don’t let the sweet smile fool you.. this little girl is a ball of sassiness. Lily loves puppies, Frozen, food, and bossing her brother around. She will probably be the one running and screaming down the aisle, but looking adorable doing it!
Chris Herrmann
Best Man
Chris is Zack’s older brother. These two are the epitome of “Beavis and Butthead.” No matter where we are these two are NOT appropriate in the least bit. We’re happy to have him and his family around to veg out at Hu Hot with and devour Red Lobster “shrimp parade” as the boys like to call it.
Tim Fode
Groomsman
Tim is the red-headed childhood friend of Zack. He is also known as “Uncle Tim” to our four legged children. He enjoys playing World of Warcraft with Zack and watching Law and Order: SVU with Tara.
Josh Hoffman
Groomsman
Josh “Hoff” is a friend of Zack’s from high school. They worked together as nurses at Sanford. “Their friendship was forged in the fires of Jack Daniels and Hoff also loves lawn care”—Zack
Keenan Schuler
Groomsman
Keenan is a childhood friend of Zack’s. These two spent their time at the skate park and Brenda’s snack drawer growing up. Keenan’s was the place to go for Gushers and Capri Sun. Keenan’s house was Zack’s second home growing up, even when they were causing trouble.
Eric Hieb
Groomsman
Eric is the brother-in-law of Tara. Eric is happy to finally have another “son” in the Himmelspach clan. Eric and Zack enjoy spending their time making fun of the Himmelspach daughters and hanging out with Terry.
Mason Hieb
Ring Bearer
Mason is the nephew of Tara and Zack. Mason is still not sold on the thought of Zack being his uncle, but we’re working on it. Mason’s favorite things consist of dinosaurs, Pokémon, and McDonalds. So if you’re wanting to talk T-rex he’s your guy.
Ethan Herrmann
Ring Bearer
Ethan is the nephew of Zack and Tara. Ethan loves Lightning McQueen, anything Cars, and riding in the Buick. It’s joked Ethan is the clone of Zack—but much cuter!
