Kari & Jared
Wedding Party
Jordan Taylor
Best Man
We played college baseball together one year and ate Velveeta skillets basically every single day. If we weren't at practice, we were probably fishing or playing Star Wars Battlefront. Known him for only 3 years but we made a life long friendship in a short time.
Kori Hillenburg
Maid of Honor
Sister and best friend of the bride. She is not a fan of anything involving wedding planning but puts up with it anyways because she loves me. She did play a part in setting up Jared and I up though and constantly reminds me that I "owe her one". She is one of my most favorite people and I love her to death! So glad she will be standing by me on my big day!
Johnny Lambert
Groomsman
Knew each other in 6th grade as acquaintances...ended up having our grad party for high school combined. We both live in Belton, we eat chipotle and make raps. And Yes ladies, he IS single!
Sarah Siegismund
Bridesmaid
Best friend of the bride since 4th grade. We grew up together and have always been close! My best memories with Sarah include countless softball games, tons of downtown breakfast dates, and getting to live together my last year of college.
Stephen Montisano
Groomsman
We played Junior college ball together. The craziest Hispanic/Italian driver you will meet...This guy has got puns too so you can call that a Win-win.
Catlin Jones
Bridesmaid
Cat and I have known each other literally our whole lives. We can argue like sisters but have always been close! I will forever miss our high school sports memories and getting to compete against one another in college. In October of 2017 I got to stand by Cat on her big day and at that time everyone was telling me to give Jared a chance. I'm glad I did!
Zac Shaw
Groomsman
We also played Junior college ball together. If this guy asks you to go bowling at any point...go ahead and say "NO". You can thank me later.
Joely Gage
Bridesmaid
Joely is one of two future sister-in-laws I will be gaining and also the one who set Jared and I up! She is the sweetest person ever and I'm so glad her and I get to go through the wedding planning process together. I can only imagine the mess I will be on her big day, and am so excited to get to return the favor of being a bridesmaid for her in June! We have already gotten so close and I feel so blessed to be gaining a sister like her. I can't imagine it any other way!
Tyler Perry
Groomsman
I would refer to this kid as my little brother. I am convinced he could go on the Ellen Show because he can actually fart on command. #talent
Kacey Evans
Bridesmaid
Kacey and I met in college playing softball against each other. She is living proof of my excellent match-making skills as I helped to set up her and her now husband, Josh. She has been a great friend to me and I love that we have become close! I look forward to hopefully many future double dates and a lifelong friendship.
Jordan Hillenburg
Groomsman
My future brother in law. He has accepted me in to the family and made me feel extremely welcome. Thankful for our friendship we have developed and excited he has been converted to drinking La Croix
Jaci Gage
Bridesmaid
Sister-in-law 2 of 2 and the funniest person ever. I have no doubt that she will one day be referred to as "The crazy aunt". Jaci is an absolute sweetheart and I love that we have gotten close! I most definitely will cry when she leaves us for college but I look forward to all our future coffee and shopping dates. I'm so happy to be gaining her as a sister!
Mark Montisano
Groomsman
Became close friends in junior college and talked him into rooming with me at Evangel. To this day the only one I know to hit the snooze button 27,723 times per day. And I now hate family force 5...
Jessica Kjeldgaard
Bridesmaid
Jess and I met the summer before college when we played against each other in a softball tournament. We were awkwardly introduced to each other after the game and told we would be future teammates at Drury. During our 4 years there Jess became one of my closest friends and I can’t imagine college or softball without her!
