Victoria & Joshua
Wedding Party
Emily Mudd
Maid of Honor
Emily and I met at the ripe age of 9, and have been inseparable since. From literally growing up together, going through our wild teenage years, to now growing into mature young women, she’s been there every step of the way. She’s definitely the fashionable one of the group and always brings the vibes to every event. I’ve never once imagined my wedding day without her being a part of it. I know that she will be my best friend until the end.
Jessica Nation
Bridesmaid
Jessica, my sweet big sister. My partner in crime from the very beginning. We’ve definitely had a roller coaster of a childhood together, but I wouldn’t have wanted to do it with anyone else. Jessica has taught me so many things in life, but what I admire the most is her genuine and kind heart, and the kind of parent I aspire to be someday.
Sara Phillips
Bridesmaid
Sara is the perfect example of a work friend who becomes family. I was nervous to be in a new work environment but she quickly showed me how welcoming and weird she was. I knew right away this would be a lifelong friendship. She’s the friend you call when you need advice, a laugh, or someone to binge-watch all of Netflix comedy specials. I’m blessed to have such an amazing friend.
Conner Bauman
Best Man
The Best Man. Conner and I go way back- we met in middle school and bonded in high school over the essentials: Wing Wednesdays and Imo’s. Since then, he’s been a loyal friend and a professional at giving me a hard time. Whether we’re out on the river, in a game, or just hanging out, he’s always been someone I can count on- and someone who never misses a chance to roast me. I couldn’t imagine this day without him by my side.
Benton Frala
Groomsman
Benton and I met in nursing school and became good friends when we started working together during the COVID days; nothing bonds two people like working side by side in the ICU during a global pandemic. He’s a damn good nurse, a next-level cook (his smoked meats and BBQ are unreal), and he never turns down a good beer —especially if we brewed it ourselves. Whether brewing, grilling, or catching up, he’s been one of the most dependable, kind, and down-to-earth friends I’ve got.
Toby Hilkemeyer
Groomsman
Toby and I technically met back in elementary school but we didn’t become close until high school, where we nearly died a couple of times flying down a road in his Camaro. We’ve spent many hours gaming, cruising, and talking about cars (well, he talks about them, I mostly nod). Through every high and low, he’s always had my back, and I’m proud to call him a friend.
