Wedding Party
Trayce Hartman
Groom
Wow, where do I even begin with Trayce? There’s so much I wanna say about him haha! I guess I’m gonna start by saying that he has so many amazing qualities. He is strong, caring, intelligent, hardworking, funny, and very very loving. Trayce has so many hobbies. He loves fishing, photography, cooking, motorcycling, playing video games, writing books, playing the guitar, going on adventures and so many more! But even with all his hobbies and interests, I think his favorite hobby is to spend time with the people he loves and cares for most. Trayce has a huge heart towards his loved ones and animals. He loves his family with all his heart! He loves being around his family, phone calls with his sisters, and family game nights. He loves his parents and respects them very much! He hopes to take over his parent’s legacy in the future. Trayce has such a soft spot for animals! He loves all kinds of animals! He especially loves Sheep, ducks, cows, bunnies, dogs, and tortoises! He even recently thought about adopting a couple emus! Trayce is also a very hard worker! He was in the air force for 6 years, he was a plane technician, and now he’s a hard working farmer! His work ethic is very high! I think God has blessed Trayce with so many amazing qualities and with such a strong heart! God definitely has so many plans for Trayce! -written by Bae Lei Eddleman
Max Barnes
Best Man
Trayce and Max first met at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas while they were both serving in the Air Force. Trayce had been an Aircraft Structural Maintenance Journeyman for a few years at Dyess when Max cross trained from a Hydraulics technician into structural maintenance and joined Trayce’s unit. They became very good friends during they’re time serving together and that friendship has continued even after both chose to separate from the Air Force.
Jesse Henry
Groomsman
Jesse and Trayce’s parents were family friends for years before Jesse and Trayce were ever born. Being almost the same age, they naturally caused a lot of trouble together. Jesse’s family moved overseas for a few years, and Jesse came to visit/stay with Trayce and his family and attended school with Trayce for a semester. Jesse and Trayce also were roomates for over a year until Jesse moved out in preparation for Trayce and Bae Lei’s upcoming marriage.
Jake Settera
Groomsman
Jake married Trayce’s sister, Kellie Jo, and spent a lot of time working on the Hartman family’s farm. Jake and Trayce spent a couple summers building fence, harvesting, hunting, dirt bike riding, and overall becoming friends more than just in-laws. They still share many hobbies, inside jokes, and spend time together fishing, hunting, and at family functions.
Mason Eddleman
Groomsman
Mason is one of Bae Lei’s older brothers and is also good friends with Jake Settera, Trayce’s brother-in-law. Although they were friends before Trayce and Bae Lei started dating, they realized they shared many interests and became closer the more time Trayce spent around the Eddleman family. Now they enjoy going fishing, duck hunting, and having fun together at family functions.
Bae Lei Eddleman
Bride
Bae Lei is the most affectionate, caring, and gorgeous person Trayce has ever met. She always puts her own wants and needs aside just to see other people smile. She is thoughtful, and often makes brownies, cookies, and other sweets for Trayce and her family. Bae Lei is also a very hard working mechanic at her family’s business, Paulsen’s Powersports. Bae Lei is extremely generous with her time and resources; something she must have learned from her family. Bae Lei’s family is comprised of two loving parents; Dustin and Wendy Eddleman. Two older brothers; Dustin Jr. and Mason Eddleman, and one younger sister; Madison Eddleman. Bae Lei’s hobbies are growing the more time she spends with Trayce, but she especially enjoys fishing, hunting, napping, knitting, jet skiing, and she is currently learning how to ride dirt bikes! Bae Lei also loves animals. She has a cat named Remy who has been around since she was very young. Although she once hated rabbits because of a childhood incident, she now adores Trayce’s bunnies, and is currently helping raise some foster bunnies. She also has a deep love for cows or, as she calls them, moo moos. Knowing this, Trayce found a Scottish Highland Cow for her that she has now named Hamish. She also fell in love with Trayce’s dog, Goose. Goose actually helped Trayce build up the courage to talk to Bae Lei in the first place! Even though it has taken some time for her to warm up to her, Bae Lei also loves Trayce’s newest puppy, River.
