Loren & Chris
Wedding Party
Mary Catherine
Maid of Honor
She is the girl who is always there - to listen, to laugh, to cry, to tell me I’m crazy, to pig out on Mac + Cheese, to pick out my outfits, and to encourage me when I’m down. I know that I could not do life or this big day without her standing right by my side.
Derek
Best Man
Choosing your best man is one of the really cool parts of this whole process. My whole life there has never been a question as to who the best man in my life is. My dad is the life of the party, the rock everyone leans on and THE best man for the job.
Lily
Maiden of Honor
She’s my little sister, but Lily is so much more than that. She has become one of my very close friends. I’m so thankful for her love and support (and sassiness). An eight-year age gap’s got nothing on this relationship!
Matthew
Groomsman
Matthew is my little brother and the ladies man of the crew. We've been close our whole lives and I can't wait to have my little brother by my side for the biggest day of my life.
Kate
Bridesmaid
She’s the sister of the groom - but best friend of the bride! I am so thankful to have Kate to stand by me. Kate is smart, generous, and the most talented person I know. She has become one of my very best friends, and I cannot imagine doing this without her.
Wes
Groomsman
Wes has been my best friend since high school. He's my go-to when I'm feeling adventurous and brings me back down to earth when the world gets crazy. Wes is family and always will be.
Caroline
Bridesmaid
Much debate went into whose side she’d stand on. A best friend to the bride + groom - Caroline is one special lady to both of us. Although Chris has known her for longer, my life would not be the same without her. Caroline is a do-er, a shake-er, and a get it done-er. She keeps us grounded, and I don’t know what we’d do without her. I am so glad I have her to stand by my side.
Kyle
Groomsman
Kyle and I met my first week in college and I had the privilege of introducing him to my best friend Caroline. Caroline and I always talked about how much fun our lives would be once we settled down with someone we cared about. Kyle enjoys every ounce of life and does everything he can to make sure everyone else does too. Our wedding wouldn't be a party without him.
Kingsley
Bridesmaid
Kingsley makes my life so much more fun + full - in school, in Peru, or through texts! We’ve bonded through student teaching, Cashew cuddles, Zika, Jeffree Star videos, Starbucks + Planet Fitness. I can’t imagine doing this day without her.
Dustin
Groomsman
I met Dustin this last year in Chicago and he has been a total blessing. I didn't know anyone in Chicago and we quickly became friends. We started a Taco Tuesday tradition with a few of the guys where we sit down for tacos and watch stand up while we decompress from the last week. He's kept me sane up there and it's started a friendship that will last a lifetime.
Megan
Bridesmaid
Megan is a perfect example of an A+ friend. She’s my go-to, down-for-anything gal - being lazy watching Hallmark movies, wandering aimlessly through Marshall’s, or having long life convos that last for hours. I’m so thankful for my friend + couldn’t do this without her.
Daniel
Groomsman
Dan has always been my guy who pushes my spontaneity. He decided on a whim to fly out and crash on my dorm floor in Yellowstone one summer in college. He spent the last half of the summer hiding out in the dorm and going on adventures with me and my friends there. Ever since, he is always encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone and enjoy the little things.
Lindsey
Bridesmaid
She was my grandbig in Phi Mu - but thank God our friendship didn’t end when college did! Lindsey is someone I know that I can always rely on. She is the best advice giver, a great listener, and an expert on making me feel special. I can’t imagine my life or my wedding without her.
Cody
Groomsman
When I met Cody, I noticed how everyone gravitates towards him. After knowing him for a few years, I learned that he would do anything for his friends and the people who are important to him. Cody is an incredible friend and always keeps me laughing.
Emma
Bridesmaid
Emma has one of the sweetest, most gentle spirits of most anyone I know. She is an encourager, a prayer warrior, and an incredible friend. Emma has been there through some of the hardest, darkest days, so it only seems right that she is there on my biggest, brightest day.
Nate
Groomsman
I met Nate freshman year in college and convinced him to move in with me and Wes the next year. Nate grew up quicker than the rest of us but never passes up an opportunity to spend some quality time with me. Nate'll be at the center of the dance floor all night right next to me.
Anna
Bridesmaid
Anna is an incredible friend and always keeps me laughing. She is full of wisdom, advice, and love - she has so much to give. I am so thankful to have her in my life, and I can’t wait to have her by my side through this journey.
Lee
Groomsman
Lee and I were on a boat together during a fraternity white water rafting trip when our raft guide coined our nicknames Maverick and Goose. He claims it was because my ego writes checks my body can't cash but over the years we've figured out that it stuck because we are always finding ways to support each other.
Jamie
Bridesmaid
Jamie is my big + there was no better match for me. Jamie is one of the smartest + funniest people I know. She is such an inspiration to me + has always stood behind me in every decision I’ve made. I’m excited to have her stand beside me as I make the biggest decision yet!
Noah
Groomsman
I met Noah my freshman year in college and over the years have become closer and closer. Now I'm proud to say that I'm an honorary uncle to his giant German Shepherd son. Noah is an all around genuine guy and always makes the extra effort to make both Loren and I feel loved and appreciated.
Aisley
Flower Girl
She’ll be the life of the party at the wedding - the cute little blonde stealing the show in the middle of the dance floor! Being Ais’s aunt has been one of the best jobs I’ve ever had, and I am so thankful that she accepted the job of being our flower girl.
Austin
Groomsman
He’s the brother of the bride, father of the flower girl, and friend to the groom. I am so thankful for Austin’s support and his blessing for me to marry his sister. It’s obvious how important he is to Loren, and it means the world to have all four of our siblings standing by our side for this big day.
