Wedding Party

Rebekah Grace Wolney

Maid of Honor

My maid of Honor. My best friend. My rock and my inspiration. We cannot not say enough about the value that this woman brings to our lives. We have known her for almost nine years and she has always remained our number one supporter both individually and as a couple. Bekah is my fellow "mama bear" and we are honored to have her be the God Mother to our first born, Vena Noel.

Jared Maurer

Best Man

Funny thing about this ginger is he was friends with Taylor before I even knew who she was. I’ve known Jared since high school. He is the one responsible for introducing Taylor and I to a lot of the friends we have today. He may live in Texas now but no amount of distance will end the friendship we have.

Nicole Dewitte

Bridesmaid

We admire Nicki for so many reasons. Like Taylor, she likes to "call it as she sees it", which has only made our friendships stronger these past six years. Nicki is one hell of a mother and one who lives that life unapologetically. We appreciate that in this crazy world, Nicki loves us the same when she’s around us, as she does if we don’t answer our phones for 4 days. We can always confide in her without fear of judgement but not without a little laughter when needed. Without a doubt one of those friends who will be there, no questions asked, if you need them. The feeling’s mutual (:

Noah WIck

Best Man

“Rusty” is Jared’s cousin and Vena’s god father. Taylor and I met Rusty just before we started dating. We spent just about every day and night hanging out at his and Nicks house. He took an adventure to Colorado for a couple years but like his baby mama (Nicole) we are glad he came home.

Faith Wozniak Smith

Bridesmaid

Faith is my sister from another mister. You know those friends who no matter the amount of time between interactions or the phsical distance, they will always love you the same? That's Faith. Her love is truly unconditional, and unwavering. We might not always answer our phones, but you better believe if we need someone to have our backs, we will be there every time.

Trevor Pearson

Groomsman

Trevor has been like a brother to me since 5th grade. We’ve done a lot of growing up together since then. He is another friend that has moved around a lot but no matter the distance we find the time to touch base. I couldn’t be happier for him and Lindsey as Taylor and I watched them tie the knot. I’m just waiting for the day I get the phone call telling me that they are expecting a little Pearson. I love you buddy but I’m on Lindsey’s side for this one.

Vicki Wiess

Bridesmaid

MAH GURLLL VICKI. I love this human. What I think makes her such a great friend is the fact that she always has such great intentions. She's conscious of her actions becuase she truly wants others to be happy and to enjoy themselves at every opportunity. Vicki reminds me to not take life so seriously, in the best way. To take in a sunset every once in a while and to treasure those around you. I certainly am not letting this one go (;

Jacob Hansen

Groomsman

The one and only MFJH. This guy is one of a kind he’s friends with everybody and has a passion for cars just like I do. If I wasn’t home in high school chances are, I was at Jakes. Taylor and I visited him in Duluth on many occasions. We haven’t made it out to his mountain retreat in Colorado yet but its on our list of destinations to explore. Jake inspires me with his sense of adventure and willingness to learn how to do things himself.

Samantha Greengo

Bridesmaid

It's been so wonderful to have a friend like Sami these last eight years. She's the right amount of conviction and grit, sprinkled with the perfect measure of humility and selflessness. I have always appreciated having such a strong-willed woman in my corner. As Capricorns Sami and I can create quite the flame when we disagree, but throughout our friendship, we have always been able to forgive and in turn, build our friendship stronger.

Travis Kipp

Groomsman

Samantha Pauly

Bridesmaid

SAMMA JAMMAAA! Cliché as it is, I don’t even know where to start. If I started from the beginning I would still be in diapers! Sam and I grew up across the street from each other for almost 20 years. As my favorite babysitter she helped me open my first restaurant called “The Yankee”, and even helped me throw my Nana a wedding party on her big day. From our countless trampoline sleepovers and our daily trips to SA for snacks, to creating our own families and standing by each other’s sides as we marry our people. Sam was the first friend to become a sister and I will forever be grateful for all that she has taught me and all the love that she continues to give us. Can’t wait to join you in the wifey club!

Donovan Herby

Groomsman

Alex Lamker

Bridesmaid

Alex has got to be the person I laugh the most with (besides Jonathan, of course), but also the friend that challenges me intellectually, creatively, and emotionally. She's the friend to ask the tough questions, to make me think and to always want more for myself. I know that when Alex tells me something whether I like it or not, it’s the truth, and that in a friend is priceless. We have cultivated some of our favorite memories with Alex, because there is never a dull moment. Her passion and complex mind make her a one of a kind friend that we are so honored to have stand with us on our day!

Ross Gaffney

Groomsman

Alyssa Johnston

Bridesmaid

Mrs. Johnston!! It feels so good to type that! Alyssa is a newlywed and my most full of life friend. She's always smiling and making the best of what she is given and I have respected her for that for a long time. Her kind heart is warmly welcomed in our group of friends. She's the type to keep the peace and to go out of her way to show a friend that she cares. We are so lucky to have her support as a couple and know there are many exciting memories to share as married women!
