Maclaine & Andrew
Wedding Party
Julia Oseguera
Maid of Honor
As Maclaine’s sister and best friend, Julia has been her ride or die since day one. Well really since Mac’s conception. J knew she’d have a sister and get to have a travel buddy for all her endeavors. Julia has always been the one to support, love, and motivate Mac. Favorite memory: if I had to pick one, it’s sharing in J’s deep talent for exquisite cuisine.
Calen Noah
Best Man
Andrew's younger brother and biggest supporter since 1998. Cal, an avid hunter and outdoorsman, is always up for an adventure. He's a model of chivalry, strong work ethic. Though he often gives Andrew a hard time, he's an incredibly loyal and faithful brother and friend. Favorite Memory: Two Words: Mud Fight.
Autumn Noah
Bridesmaid
Autumn is the gift I (Maclaine) never expected to receive. Her sisterhood and friendship to me is irreplaceable and Autumn has taught me so much already. She is confident in who she is and my favorite catch phrase partner among the Noah’s (sorry fam). Favorite memory: getting to thrift together in almost every city we go to !!
Grant Whitty
Groomsman
Grant and Andrew met at FOCUS' New Staff Training. Andrew was blessed to have Grant as a roommate and they've been best mates ever since! Grant has been a fierce and loyal friend through the many ups and downs of the last 4 years. He is a fellow Iowan, a lover of hiking and outdoor activities, and serves as a FOCUS missionary at the University of Oregon with his beautiful bride, Dixie. Favorite Memory: Taking a weekend away from NST to hike in the Black Hills.
Annie Targosz
Bridesmaid
Annie was my little sister my entire childhood. As my soulmate cousin, she really inspired me to be more creative, and be exactly who I am. We would host open mic comedy at McNellis White Elephant parties, swap clothes, play with American girl dolls, and try to beat each other in Mario Kart. I also got to be Annie's confirmation sponsor and see her come to know Christ. I love this girl. Favorite memory: Hilton Head Island beach days. Collecting seashells and journaling all about it.
Andy Reiner
Groomsman
A long-time friend and fellow Johnnie, Andy is possibly the greatest dancer Andrew has met (be sure to spot him tearing it up on the dance floor). Andy and Andrew began their friendship at FOCUS' SLS Conference in Dallas. Through a shared faith, a love of singing, and both being a couple of goofballs, their friendship has only grown and strengthened since their time at St. John's. Andy is currently in his pre-seminary year at St. Paul's Seminary in Minnesota. Favorite Memory: Hiking and exploring in the Black Hills when Andy came out to visit Andrew in Spearfish.
Sara Billman
Bridesmaid
Sara taught me exactly how God loves me and how to pray. She changed my life forever when she came to Indiana University as a missionary my senior year. We had a very rocky and honest start to our friendship, but it established a standard of honesty and vulnerability that came so quickly to the two of us. I thank God for Sara and what she's brought to my life. Please pray for her future marriage as well! We get to be engaged at the same time which is a true joy. Favorite memory: walking along the beach in Oregon when I first met Tyler, Sara's fiancé. Also, visiting SB right when covid was beginning in Colorado Springs.
Isaac Rillo
Groomsman
It all started when Isaac and Andrew were sitting next to each other on the Link (the bus that drove between St. John's and the College of St. Benedict), discussing their experiences while studying abroad. Through their time in theology classes, Bible study, and as FOCUS missionaries, Isaac and Andrew's walk of friendship has spanned many shared chapters of life. Isaac is finishing his Master's degree at Boston College and is married to his incredible bride, Kate. Favorite Memory: Quoting the fight scene between Gandalf and Saruman from "Lord of the Rings." It never gets old!
Kelsey Mainelli
Bridesmaid
Sweet Kelsey. The woman who inspired me to join FOCUS, and thus find my future husband, Andrew Noah. This girl is a BOLD woman, ready to redefine "love" as I knew it. We met my junior year at Indiana University and were both in sororities. Kelsey called me to be a saint and it is the hardest and most joyful thing I've ever said yes to. Watching her long distance relationship with her now husband, Tony, I knew how God could work through long-distance. It was part of my lasting hope when I knew Andrew and I would be long distance. I love this woman, her husband, and her cutie kiddos. Favorite memory: winning the St. Paul's lip sync battle, or Nick's bar. Sink the biz. That is all.
Benjamin Acosta
Groomsman
Andrew and Ben were teammates during Andrew's first year as a FOCUS missionary at Black Hills State University in Spearfish, SD. After discovering that they both had Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati as a Confirmation saint, loved hiking, and jamming out to music, Andrew and Ben became fast friends. Though a bit unpredictable at times, Ben has a been a consistent friend, brother, and mentor to Andrew over the years. He is now serving as a FOCUS missionary in Colorado Springs. Favorite Memory: Singing 'From Now On' from "The Greatest Showman" outside the University of Mary Library.
Courtney Roach
Bridesmaid
Courtney Maeve is the closest replica I’ve found of myself and this beautiful journey of finding Mac by finding this friend is all thanks to Kelsey (one of my other bridesmaids). She was at IUPUI while I was at IU, and we became FOCUS missionaries in the same class. Court is a light and complete joy to talk to, dance with, and encounter. She’s the most charming woman I’ve met and she is a faithful sister to my little heart. Favorite memory: drinking wine in Nashville, IN in the fall. Hands down.
Parker Schlenker
Groomsman
First-year missionary, Andrew, met first-year college student, Parker, during the Fall of 2018. Andrew had the joy and privilege of walking with Parker in his journey of faith throughout his first two years at Black Hills State University. Parker has joined Andrew on two mission trips to Ecuador, went through RCIA with Andrew as both his teacher and sponsor, and has become one of Andrew's closest friends. Parker is now a Senior at BHSU. Favorite Memory: Celebrating Mass at the top of the Andes Mountains.
