Wedding Party
Austin Volmert
Best Man
Gifted to me through the stork delivery service in 1994, before Amazon Prime was the cool way to get deliveries. We’ve been best bros (literally) ever since, and will be lifelong fishing partners. We’ve been through a lot together in life, from wearing matching outfits to becoming strikingly similar, handsome old men. Austin is now a husband, father, dog father, fishing YouTuber, and a professional instant sleeper. Be sure to attend his once in a lifetime roast of me on May 4, 2024.
Kailey Rooks
Matron of Honor
It's hard to believe that Kailey has been a huge part of my life for nearly a decade! She's the best momma to my nephews and has managed to put up with my brother...along with our entire family! Growing up with only brothers, I was so happy to gain a sister. We have supported each other through many stages of life and I'm incredibly thankful my brother chose her! I had the honor of standing by her when they got married, now the tables have turned and she'll be standing by me!
Ryan Meyer
Groomsman
Ryan was the first friend I made when I attended St. Gertrude’s in 1st grade. I’m not sure if I decided to become friends with him because he had the same first name as me, or if I felt sorry that I was slightly faster than he was. He did the right thing and decided to be a lifelong friend. There’s rarely a dull moment when we’re together, and I’m sure the wedding day will be no different! P.S. You cannot spill your beer on Regan on the wedding day, even if it’s an accident.
Jessica Albertson
Bridesmaid
Jessica has been in our family long enough that it feels like she always has been! She's been with my cousin, Lance, for nearly half of my life. She's always been someone I could look up to and is one of the sweetest and most selfless people I know! Through all that life has thrown us, she's always there for me and I love knowing that she'll be there for me on our big day!
Scott Spreckelmeyer
Groomsman
Scott was the kid who lived just up the hill from me since we were youngsters. I didn’t discover his existence until freshman year of high school where we had morning study hall together. Not much studying was done, just chatting and cracking jokes. We have absolutely the most random and unplanned adventures. Oftentimes we would spend an entire day hitting up all the thrift stores in town and driving through trailer parks. He will be a star on the dance floor, with his dangerous elbow throwing dance moves.
Margaret Volmert
Bridesmaid
When I met Ryan's family for the first time, as expected, I was nervous! Margaret became someone I knew I could lean on as I was getting to know the family, I'm sure she knew I would need the support! Over time, she's become a very close friend I know I can count on, whether it's just to chat or someone to give the Volmert brothers grief with. I'm excited to gain her as a sister (in-law), and that we'll get to go through life together!
Nathan Sickmann
Groomsman
Nathan is another member of the 1st grade friendship crew. Classmates would give him trouble for his height, but I could see past the short shadow and saw a cool dude! Nathan was the guy with the hot tub in high school. Hot tub time was by far one of our most popular hang out activities through the high school years. We have spent a lot of hours in the hot tub with friends, made a lot of laughs, and watched Nathan slowly doze off in the hot tub……about 100 times.
Ava Albertson
Bridesmaid
I was the only girl in our Albertson clan until Miss Ava Jo came along. It has been incredible watching her grow into the beautiful & spunky young lady she is. Although, I will say, she has grown up WAY too fast! When thinking about our wedding party, I knew I wanted Ava to have an important role. Nothing else seemed near as fitting as having her as a Bridesmaid, and I'm honored that our wedding will be the first one she gets to have that title!
Blake Haberberger
Groomsman
Blake the snake was my neighbor when I moved into the Meadowlake subdivision. We were constantly hanging out at each other's house before our driving years. We would play video games, sports outside, bum around watching TV, or who knows what. I spent so much time with him that I can still recite his old landline number and tell you his favorite childhood lunch was a PB&J sandwich, about 4 microwaved mini corn dogs, and a Mountain Dew.
Jessica Monroig
Bridesmaid
The first time I met Jessica was at Sickmann's wedding. I had no idea that she would become a true unfiltered friend, but I've been so thankful for the friendship we have. We can go weeks or months without talking, and pick back up like we talk every single day. Asking her to be a bridesmaid was quite eventful, one of the many hilarious stories we have together! Cheers to the many memories to come!! PS. I promise to bring mini towels to dampen our sweat, so you don't have to use toilet paper :)
Bryce Monroig
Groomsman
Bryce, aka A10SwampDonkey, is another fantastic member of the 1st grade friendship crew. It’s like I have a trend going or something. Bryce is a hilarious guy. He has incredibly fast and witty responses for literally everything. I think he got his practice from making up excuses for things he got in trouble for during grade school. If you don’t believe me, try for yourself. Out of everyone I know, I think Bryce is the one who loves playing Call of Duty Zombies the most. If it was humanly possible, he would probably play for 24+ hours straight. He also hates pruning in Nathan’s hot tub, and hates losing to Nathan in ping-pong. Mention Bone Collectors or Michael Waddell to him, and he will salivate.
Peyton Rooks
Ring Bearer
Peyton is the first boy to make me Auntie Re and the little boy who will forever hold a very special place in my heart! He's one of the most kind-hearted, loving, and also quick-witted boys you'll ever meet. He will roast you and give you the biggest hug all in a matter of minutes. It's such an honor to watch him grow into a wonderful kid. He will be a very handsome Ring Bearer!
Brantley Rooks
Ring Security
Brantley is the kid who can make you laugh until you're red in the face and crying. He's also the one who can drive you up the wall because of his stubbornness (we all "wonder" who he gets that from!). He loves anything competitive, but be warned, he refuses to lose! He's sure to provide tons of entertainment, and we know he will be the perfect Ring Security!
Hunter Rooks
Ring Security
Hunter Harmon, do not let his tiny stature and quiet voice fool you! This kid will keep you on your toes and put you in your place so quickly! He's had his two brothers to learn from, but he's become a perfect little mix of his own. If you mention anything tractors or trucks related, you'll be his instant best friend! We are excited for him to be on our Ring Security team!
Oliver Volmert
Ring Security
Oliver is the cutest little guy I know! I may be a little bit biased, but you know I’m right. He’s full of words, smiles, and laughter. He’s growing too darn fast if you ask me. Sometimes he’s shy around new people, but when he warms up to you he’s go-go-go. Some of his favorite things include anything with water, dad’s boat, running around outside saying unintelligible words, reading books, zooming around the house, wearing sunglasses, and eating zucchini bread. The only way you’ll get the ring from this ferocious ring security member is trading him three loaves of zucchini bread, or his fishing pole.
Linley Albertson
Flower Girl
If you ask anyone in our family to tell you about Linley, every person will chuckle a little as they come up with the best words to describe her. Is she a girly girl? Yes. Is she a tomboy? Yes. She's shy to most people, but once she warms up to you, she's quite the spitfire! We are so excited that Linley agreed to be our Flower Girl before she even knew what that was! As I told her, she's the only one allowed to look cuter than me and trust me, she will!
Rylee Rooks
Usher/Brother of Bride
More than likely neither of my brothers will read these, but I couldn't leave out talking about them! Rylee and I have a typical brother/sister relationship. Growing up, we bickered quite a bit, but luckily we grew out of that phase (mostly, I think). He will always help someone in need, and he works so hard to support his family and give his boys an amazing life. Watching him become a Dad & husband has been one of my favorite things to witness as his sister. I can honestly say I'm incredibly proud of the man he's become!
Adison Rooks
Usher/Brother of Bride
Again, I'm sure my brothers won't read these, but if either of them will, it will be Adison. He's always been the quiet one of the bunch but also has the best sense of humor and a loving heart. He ROCKS being an Uncle and loves those boys SO much. He is always someone I can rely on when in need (even if he doesn’t quite know what he’s signing up for). He's grown a tremendous amount in the last couple of years and I can't wait to see where life takes him!
Louie Gregoire
Officiant
Anyone who knows Louie knows he has one of the biggest hearts, and is one of the most honorable men. He's known me (Regan) most of my life but became a much bigger part when we lost my PaPa, someone we all admired and were not ready to lose. Deciding who would marry us was not easy to think about. But when Louie was brought up as an option, I felt a sense of peace. We know he will not only do a wonderful job but will be the perfect person to fill PaPa's shoes.
