Kari & Trey
Wedding Party
Beth Peterson
Maid of Honor
We met over food, we work with food, and we live for food. She is the kale to my smoothie, the veggie burger to my bun, and of course the cheese to my wine! Beth is a wonderful mom of 3 (well 5 if you count Stella and Clyde the fur babies) and a talented beauty. She is my forever friend, my person. We've stood with each other through many life events and I can't wait for her to stand with me on another major life event, my wedding day! Love you to the moon and back XOXO
Christine Whitemarsh
Bridesmaid
Christine and I met while I was working with Kenmore during our agency meetings. When you meet a person and you know right at that moment they are going to be in your life forever, you truly feel blessed. She is kind and sincere, brilliant and sweet, loving and gracious. She's the kind of woman who will drop anything for you while going out of her way to make you feel loved. I'm so honored to have her a part of our wedding and I cannot wait to have you standing by my side even though you are a Packers fan! Love you!! XOXO
Michelle Goodmanson
Bridesmaid
Knowing each other from high school, Michelle and I have seen and done it all! From dance battles at the Paladrome to five hour primping sessions to belly laughs till we literally cried at Disney, Michelle has been an incredible friend in my life. She has been the one person who constantly reminded me that love awaits. She also has been the one person who has believed in me and my journey. I love her so much and I'm so honored to have her a part of our very special day!
Brooke Daitchman
Bridesmaid
Brooke and I have known each other since we were 19! Although we might be on crutches if we tried to bust a move on the dance floor today, at least I have great memories of the fun times we had when we were young. Not only is she the best at selling real estate in Chicago, but she is the best at making me feel loved and excited for my future with Trey. She's also great at reminding me not to mix Tequila with wine. No, sorry I got that wrong, she said it's perfectly fine to mix Tequila with wine and we all know how that turned out!
Hanna Miller
Junior Bridesmaid
Not only is she the most amazing teenager I've ever met, she happens to be the daughter of Trey. The first time I saw Hanna, I met an old soul who was stunning in her beauty. She was kind and very welcoming of my presence which was so reminiscent of her personality. We've been stuck at the hip ever since and I couldn't be more grateful for her friendship and trust in my life. Truly an honor to have her stand by our sides the day we exchange our vows. Hanna Liz, you rock and thanks for loving all the crazy smoothies we make every morning! XOXO
Steven Rodriguez
Bridesman
One of my dearest friends that I absolutely love has graciously accepted my offer to stand by my side on this blessed day. Steven and I have been through years of laughing, crying, and Sunday Target shopping sprees (usually followed by tacos and margaritas!). Today we still laugh and cry together and eat tacos so nothing really has changed! Steven has such a loving, caring soul that I could not imagine my wedding day without him. I love you to pieces Spider...you are a total class act! XOXO
Ellie Miller
Flower Girl
Sister, Aunt, and sweet darling Ellie will be not only our flower girl, but she will be given the honor of carrying Kari's fathers American Flag down the aisle. We are so blessed to have her be a part of our special day and we should have hired her as our wedding planner because this girl knows how to organize an event! Look out world, Miss Ellie is in the house and she's going to be the belle of the ball! Love you to pieces XOXO
Amanda Carpenter
Officiant
She was there the day we met and she's been a part of our lives ever since. Amanda is a brilliant and beautiful friend who is a writer, speaker, and advocate. Her ministry experience is from her time of working at Soul City Church in the West Loop of Chicago. We are beyond honored to have Manda as our officiant and we cannot wait for everyone to hear her words of wisdom and blessings on our wedding day. WE LOVE YOU! XOXO
