Ricki & Michael
Wedding Party
Angela Bergstedt
Matron of Honor
Angi and I met in a frantic search for a random roommate for our freshmen year at IUPUI. After messaging for a few hours, not only did we determine that we would in fact be roommates, but also because of our shared interests and beliefs, we would be best friends. over the last a five years, we have shared our wildest dreams, went on the most fantastic adventures and loved like sisters. Angi's parents accepted me into their tribe and my parents did the same. They both admitted that we were each what type of friend for college that they prayed for for their daughters. Ang, thank you for being apart of our journey and loving through the hard times and the good ones.
Devan Buis
Best Man
Devan and I met many years ago. What started as a simple friendship turned into a brotherly bond that cannot be broken. We have shared lots of laughs and tears together. Any time we can get together and hang out we are there. Whether it be shooting guns or even just running to town for supplies we are always excited. I know that no matter what Devan will always have my back and will always be there in any time of need.
Mallori Sinnet
Bridesmaid
Mallori and myself are sisters by chance and friends by choice. When I was seven my parents told me I was going to be a big. sister. I was hoping and praying for a little brother, but God knew I needed a sister though because he knew I needed a friend with a bond deeper than the trials life may throw at us. Mallori is the opposite of her big sister, she is quiet and reserved but that has never been an issue because we always managed to share our secrets and late nights watching Netflix together. Over the years we have gotten close and it is my wish that we may continue to grow closer. To my baby sister, I'm so glad you are apart of my big day.
Matthew White
Groomsman
Matthew is my brother and my best friend. Like any brothers growing up we had our ups and downs but we always ended up loving each other in the end. Between both of us working all the time and living life we don't always get to spend as much time as we would like together. Throughout our lives we have both been through tough situations but we are always there to pick the other up.
Hannah Trader
Bridesmaid
Hannah and myself met on our first day of our very first nursing school lab experience. Then, we were brand new and thought the four years in school would never come to an end. But now, we have completed this journey and are ready to see what the future holds for each of us as RNs. As mentioned previously, Hannah, Hana, Kelsey, and myself all joined together and became inseparable through the years. Though we all are the best of friends, Hannah and myself are the most similar. If I need a new recipe to try, or if I want to discuss how sassy we can be with our men, she is my go to girl. Thank you Hannah for being apart of our incredible day.
Caleb Winnings
Groomsman
Caleb and I met through my brother matthew. Caleb is into the same awesome stuff that I am interested in. From playing paintball together to riding motorcycles whenever we can. We are always down to hang out and sit around the fire conversating on whatever happens to be the topic of the day. Caleb has grown to become one of those amazing people that I am honored to consider my family. Whether it's Caleb, his brother Ethan, or his parents Amy and Gene they are all considered family and would do anything in their power to help any person they knew out with anything in return. I am honored to have Caleb as a groomsman in my wedding and to share my amazing day with.
Miecho Campbell
Bridesmaid
Miecho and I met in the summer of 1996 when I was born. She is my cousin, but more like the big sister I never knew I had. Wherever Miecho went, I had to go as well. I looked up to her and still do as we continue to make more memories together. In the early years I was her little cousin that had to tag along. As time goes on we still grow closer, but I no longer am the young one who just wants to go, but we are truly best friends who share our secrets and hopes. Miecho and I are two peas in a pod and I pray in my future my children have cousins because they are the friends that never go away. Miecho, thank you for being apart of our day, you are so loved!
David Powell
Groomsman
David and I met through Mark and Dawn Hayden. At first we didn't get along at all. But as time went on we became more than just friends. We became "Framily". We both enjoy riding our motorcycles and playing darts while of course throwing back a few beers and shots.
Hana Reed
Bridesmaid
Hana and I met in nursing school in 2017. Shortly after the induction ceremony, Hana, Hannah, Kelsey and myself met and became very close. Ever since then, we made sure to sign up for the same clinical roation and never separated if we didn't have to. Together we survived nursing school with texts between us during lectures, lunches on campus, and endless trips to Kilroys on Wednesday nights. Each of us are very different in our personalities. Even so, Hana is calm and collected and the one to see the simplistic side of things. When things are messy I can always count on Hana to make me laugh with her wonderful sense of humor.
Austin Anglea
Groomsman
Austin and I met through Ricki's best friend Angela. As soon as we met I knew he was gonna be one awesome guy. He and Angela came to our house for a Friendsgiving celebration. As soon as he got there it was to the back of the property with our beers to light the bonfire. Since then we have both learned that we like the same stuff and enjoy hanging out. Even though we don't get to hang out a whole lot because we are always working I know that I have a friend and a brother in him.
Baylee Hunter
Bridesmaid
Baylee came into our lives when Devan, our best man introduced us to his girlfriend. Instantly Baylee and I clicked over our love of dogs, and country music. Every time Baylee and I get together it is guaranteed to be a good time because no matter what the situation, between the two of us we can turn it into a party. When I first met Baylee I instantly knew I loved her spirit, free and selfless. Together we bring out the good times, I love to laugh with Baylee, but with that being true, we have had our fair share of serious talks seeking advice from each other as well. I could not think of anyone better for Devan and I am so glad that they both became apart of our lives and a part of our wedding.
Mark Hayden
Groomsman
Mark and I met 8 years ago. Neither of us would have thought that we would become such close friends in the future. I have worked for Mark many times and still continue to. I consider Mark to be a friend and a father figure in my life. I know that I can always go to him for guidance and knowledge whenever I may need it. Even though we can both get on each other's nerves and drive each other crazy, I know at the end of the day we can hug it out and be the awesome friends that we are.
Kelsey Norris
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and I met at nursing school orientation, we happened to sit together. Because our nerves were so high, we found comfort in having someone to talk to during these first steps of the rest of our lives at Indiana University School of Nursing. We later met Hannah and Hana, but Kelsey was truly the first friend I made in nursing school. Kelsey is the friend that will tell you exactly how things are and I appreciate that in friend. What I love about Kelsey is she is highly motivated and being around that energy you're obligated to keep going as well. Thank you Kels for being an amazing friend and being a part of this day
Dylan Murphy
Groomsman
Dylan and I met through Ricki. They are the best of friends and have been since they were little. Ever since I have met Dylan he has always been super awesome. We can sit down and talk about anything and we also like the same stuff as well. When I met Dylan I knew immediately that I had another brother and could go to him for and about anything.
