Wedding Party

Angelika Sak

Maid of Honor

I can already guess how her speech will start, "Our friendship started in Mrs. Walkers English class when Jessica showed up in a hot pink jumpsuit". The story never gets old and it makes me laugh every time, just like the time with Napoleon Dynamite and the polish sausage. Don't ask questions. Whether its going to brunch, eating sushi at a byob or laughing at dangerous driving conditions, the laughter never stops when we are together. We have been through it all and there for each other through everything. From being my first high school friend to being my maid of honor, I am so happy to have you by my side.

Braxton Briscoe

Best Man

The saying Best friends since birth gets thrown around pretty loosely but between Braxton and myself it’s the truth. Our mothers, Jan and Joy, are twins and have had us together since birth. Braxton and I have done all done all together from the Awesome and Exciting to the ohhh SH*%T we’re in trouble now. No matter if we were tearing through the woods on four wheelers having a grand ole time or getting caught drinking for the first time, Braxton has been a steadfast friend to me through the years. He is someone that I always knew I could count on back then and I can still count on now.

Kimberly Jarosz

Bridesmaid

I will never forget our Sunday cookouts at M1, where we first officially met! Everyone was aggravated with Frankie barking to throw his ball, but I instantly fell in love! After talking about wiener dogs and our obsession over wine, we became the best of friends! Twins as everyone else would say. No one else would drive to Blue Sky at 10:30am for a glass of wine but us. And no one else would get excused from Cooper's Hawk while on a two man bar crawl besides bus. You made my college years the best years of my life and I am truly thankful we are still the best of friends even miles away. Whenever I need two hours of facetime chats, I know exactly who to call!

Brett Thuston

Groomsman

The Relationship between brothers is something that can only truly appreciate if you get to see it in person. Brett and I have unique relationship to the point where we have had some amazing times together but also had some times where we wanted to punch each other in the face. But even in those times where we wanted to knock each other’s teeth out with the nearest object we made sure we were doing it out of love. It would be impossible for me to imagine a life without him in it because I don’t know who I would have passed blamed on for putting holes in the wall, those mysterious beer bottles that our parents found or helping me with distracting our parents while I snuck in past curfew! Yep, life would be hard without Brett. Love you brother, about as much as Bob Marley liked his smoke!

Amanda Rassett

Bridesmaid

Well let's see, I mean, we have known each other for like ever. Telling everyone I used to sleep on your floor until I was 12 (maybe 13) or telling people I had a fake show for our dogs (Simon Show ft. Cody) will never get old. We are so different yet so much alike. I've never met anyone else who hyperventilates when they laugh besides you and I. You are my vent system and I have no idea what I would do without you. I miss you each and every day. I can't wait to see you and your beautiful family on our special day!

Cameron James

Groomsman

Cameron, Cam, Cam Jam, Ram Cam, no matter what the name people call him he is the same person every minute of the day. Cam is the kind of friend that is unwavering in his support towards his family and friends. Many times in college, where we met and played ball together, he helped me in tough times. Cam and I became great friends in college during our Junior year when we decided to move in together because well we played football and liked to drink beer. Well for the next two years, Cam and I went on several adventures that are some of my fondest memories from college. I am thankful that I can count on one of my fellow salukis to stand up there with me and watch me take the plunge!

Anne Gayes

Bridesmaid

Work. Wife. Enough said. You are my ride or die, tea companion, bad and boujee, BBG queen, and life coach. Work is not the same without you but I am thankful I finally learned how to use gchat. From not knowing we went to college together, to Uline, to Adecco, some would say I was following you but I am so thankful life brought us together. I can't wait for you to be by my side on the most important day of my life!

Chris Dolence

Groomsman

What is there to say about Chris that he hasn’t said about himself! Just kidding but I am semiserious about this hilarious funny man from Chicago! I had the pleasure of meeting Chris in Carbondale during our Sophomore year of college and it might be safe to say he was my first true friend from Chicago. You knew Chris hailed from Chicago because of his Obnoxious love for his Cubs and Blackhawks. His love for the Hawks and mine for the Blues led to a slap bet our senior year that after left me with a ruptured ear drum. Chris is the funny man of my friends from college and its never a dull moment when he’s around. And you know you’re in for a wild ride when you start hearing the words “Hey Baby Girl”!

Hannah Schulte

Bridesmaid

Where do I start, I have never met anyone like you and I wouldn't want it any other way. You have made laugh until my stomach hurt. You always know the funniest and realist stuff to say which I can honestly appreciate. No one else has ever told me to eat a bag of d**ks, no one else has ever told me if I didn't take that extra shot I was a pansy. But that just shows you live life to the fullest and you live life likes it's your last...which it is. You keep me on my feet and I am so thankful Luke brought us together!

Mike Wegner

Groomsman

Mike was another fella that I had the pleasure of meeting in 6th grade. I won’t lie at first I was super jealous of him because back in the day Mike could kick flip a 6 stair and on top of that he was super intelligent! After, I got over my jealously of him we became fast friends and started to skate together along with Ryan and Chad. Mike is one of those guys that you want to be friends with because you know that he is always going to put you first and make sure you’re taken care of. He was such a good friend he would let me cheat off him through most of our AP Government class as well as many others. Mike is a close friend and I am thrilled that he is here to spend this big day with me.

Amanda Armfield

Bridesmaid

Cue the music....Panda. Panda. Panda, panda, panda. You were the first person I talked to about saying the L word to Luke, talking about moving to St. Louis and well even about this whole marriage thing!! You would never tell me any secrets but you have always given me the best guidance....and pep talks. Luke and I are so thankful to have you as one of our best friends. But always remember, you were his best friend first but mine second and two is bigger than one so I WIN! Just remember, the wedding starts at noon. The website is wrong. Make sure you are at least an hour early ;)

Ryan King

Groomsman

Ryhno, Ry Guy, Baby Sasquatch the nicknames for this guy is pretty much endless and the same thing could be said about his awesome sense of humor. Ryan and I met back in the Third Grade in Mrs. Krause class where we got lucky enough to get seated next to each other and ever sense than he has kept me laughing. Ryan has many great personality traits other than his great sense of humor and one of those is his easy going personality. Ryan just loves going with flow and just enjoying whatever life bring his way. Which made us great friends sense I am the crazy uptight person. It is safe to say throughout my childhood Ryan was the ying to my yang (HA GAY)! Sorry I had to try embarrass him.

Gabby Thuston

Bridesmaid

Since I have met Gabby over three years ago she has grown into such a beautiful young woman. Not only has she grown physically, she also has grown into a smart and understanding as well. There have been countless times where we have had dinner or lunch and I am just blown away by her maturity. I am beyond excited and thrilled to have this beautiful young lady standing up at the alter with me on our big day!

Chad Kiebler

Groomsman

As we all know Middle School can be a scary time in your life but on the first day of 6th grade I walked into my Level 1 Woods class and was seated next a guy by the name of Chad Benjamin Kiebler. After talking with Chad for one minute I could tell this guy was the most Open minded and positive people I’ve ever met and is someone that I wanted to be around. 15 years later Chad is still an inspiration to be when it comes to being positive and being open to new things. I mean heck have you seen that Big ole red beard on that guy?

Hannah Rassett

Flower Girl

Oh little Miss Hannah. I know you can't read this but I know you are most excited for this day mainly for your pretty dress and sparkly shoes you get to wear. Just don't forget those dance moves I taught you and make sure you bring those moves to the dance floor!!

Tyler Rassett

Ring Bearer

Sending a warning label on this one! He is a STRONG salesman at his young age of 8. Whether it's asking to take a picture, asking him to eat his food or asking him to grab something for you, he will ask you for a dollar and you most likely will give it to him. I can't wait to see how handsome you look on this very special day!

Jack Sauter

Usher

The laid back, always smiling brother of the family is most definitely the Jack-O! Jack is charismatic and is a smooth talker so I couldn’t think of a better job for my brother then for him to help him seat some of our amazing family members and closest friends!

Thomas Thuston

Usher

The wise cracking and witty brother of the family is most certainly Thomas. Thomas has a way about him to get people to laugh and have a good time. Therefore, we thought he was well suited to help seat some of our family members and closest friends on our big day!
