Jenna & Josh
Wedding Party
Lauren Hollister
Matron of Honor
Jenna’s best friend! Lauren and I met at Evangelical Free Church in 2012 and despite our *many* personality differences (she’s quiet—y'all know the majority of the time I am NOT!), we stayed intentional and quickly grew to be best friends. Lauren is a giver & her intuition is always spot on. She is a friend that anyone would love to have. Lauren & I share the love of Jesus, coffee and deep conversations. Lauren is a teacher in Columbus, NE.
Ian Grahek
Bridesman
Jenna’s cousin and best friend! Ian has been there since day 1 and has been my biggest fan in literally everything I do. Ian is a mechanical engineer in Colorado.
Gina Ardiana
Bridesmaid
Jenna’s favorite drinking buddy! *Coffee or wine.. If I ever had a hard day, Gina is the first one to answer the phone no matter what time of day. I initially met Gina because I became a client of hers (she's an amazing esthetician!!!) then we were both in our friend's wedding together! We quickly bonded over coffee and wine and became close friends. She is an animal lover & has the gentlest soul. Gina is an esthetician in Hastings.
Sara Mann
Bridesmaid
One of Jenna’s best friends! Sara quickly became one of her closest friends when she started working in Hastings. Sara could be described by many as a “free spirit!” I have had some of the best times of my life with this girl. She is one hell of a friend and nobody would ever question her love for her friends and family. Sara is a detective in Hastings.
Jennica Pohlmeier
Bridesmaid
Jenna’s best *low-maintenance* friend! Jennica & I have gone months (maybe even a full year..?) without talking & pick right back up where we left off. Jennica is quick to give an opinion that you may not want to hear and she is quick to help any animal that she can. She has a heart of gold. Jennica and I met through work. We have been friends and been called each other’s names ever since. She volunteers nearly all of her free time at a local animal shelter and is a 911 dispatcher in Hastings.

Dakotah Kiehl
Bridesmaid
Jenna’s college best friend! Kotah is thee most independent, caring soul I know. She is the only person I've ever met who has gone to Disney World to spend a day by herself and go on rides alone!! She taught me probably one of the simplest lessons of life and that was to enjoy independence and your time being by yourself! Kotah & I met through cheerleading at Tabor College together and quickly became close friends. We stayed in touch over the years and we always pick up right where we left off! Kotah lives in Boston and is in law school.

Emily Ostdiek
Best Groomswoman
We met on our first day at the Police Department. We definitely did not know what to think of each other at first! She has been one of those friends you only wish you could find. She would definitely hide a body with you!
Robert Brooks
Groomsman
Robert was my first sergeant at the Police Department and we gained a strong respect for each other. We get along so well probably because we both like being fair and we do not like drama! Despite all the crap we give each other.. Robert is one of my best friends.
Dani

I have been friends with Peter for years. He is and always has been the life of the party! He is always willing to help when you need it. We have had many interesting experiences and a few crazy ones over the years! Peter is the friend that will drag you out and make sure you are included even if you don't feel like it.
Spencer Sydow
Groomsman

Jenna’s favorite travel partner! Ronne & I met in high school. I can always count on this girl to make me laugh in the worst situations.
