Miranda & Robert
Wedding Party
Brad Weidner
Best Man
Although they inherited different traits, Robert and Brad have been built in best friends since 1999. Brad’s helped Robert crack out of his shell and Robert’s kept Brad out of trouble. They balance each other out and keep each other honest. We couldn’t be more excited to have Brad celebrate with us as we say “I Do”!
Olivia White
Maid of Honor
From Big and Little to best friends, Miranda and Olivia have been inseparable since 2016. You will find them both running the dance floor on the night of the wedding! Olivia is supportive, hard working, and always there for her friends - whether that be for a night out on the town or to listen to a rant. We are thankful she will be there for us again on our big day!
Sam Weidner
Groomsman
Being the youngest child has its perks - namely eating Skyline and Chick-fil-A as often as you want - but Sam’s run of the Weidner house is coming to an end. Despite him beginning college in the fall (Go Bearcats!), Sam’s maturity and kindness would have you guessing he was older. His infectious laughter and demonstrated dancing skills at the high school pep rally will prove valuable at the reception, and we’re excited he’s playing a role on our big day!
Jenna Wright
Maid of Honor
To describe what a great best friend she is: When Miranda was too scared to ask Rob to semi formal, Jenna stepped in and asked him on Miranda’s behalf. Ever since, the rest is history! Jenna remains Miranda’s go to gal from 2017 to now! She is loving, kind, honest, and bright. We know she will brighten the wedding by being part of it!
Ben Keating
Groomsman
Robert and Ben rushed the same fraternity their freshman year and grew closer after taking roles on Exec and playing pick-up rec sports on campus. Robert spent a few years third wheeling Ben and his girlfriend’s dates, and when Robert and Miranda started dating, the two quickly became their go-to pair for double dates. Ben’s always “living the dream” - we’re excited for him to be living the dream on the dance floor with us on the big day!
Alli Grewe
Bridesmaid
While Alli and Miranda had been friends for several years, their friendship grew much closer when they served on Exec board together and spent the year turning to each other to overcome many obstacles. Alli is loyal, funny, and always there to listen for her friends - all of these traits and many more made us know she had to be there with us while we say “I Do”!
Dylan Bryan
Groomsman
Robert and Dylan met their freshman year at UC and grew closer after a fall break trip together during their third year. Dylan’s warmth and enthusiasm for those around him carries into all his relationships and we’re thankful he’s able to celebrate with us on our big day!
Audrey Doepker
Bridesmaid
Audrey and Miranda met freshman year of college when both joined Pi Phi and were two of the engineers within our pledge class! Audrey’s caring and selfless personality makes her loved by all who know her, and especially us. We are so thankful to have her by our side for the big day!
Matt Dickhaut
Groomsman
Robert and Matt met during their freshman year at UC and got closer their last couple years of school taking classes and working odd jobs together. As a retired trivia host and graduation MC, Matt knows how to work a crowd, and we’re pumped he’s a part of our special day!
Destinee Friedmann
Bridesmaid
Destinee and Miranda became friends freshman year of college and their friendship has continued to grow since then! Destinee knows how to make anyone feel special, keep the energy high in all situations, and pushes her friends to be the best we can be. We are thankful to have her in our lives for this reason, and couldn’t imagine our special day without her!
Russell Rogers
Groomsman
Russell and Robert met at the best Texas Roadhouse in the country (in Miranda’s hometown) and share a love for good home cooking. Russell’s high energy is seen in all that he does between coaching and storytelling, and we’re excited he’s playing a part in our big day!
Gabby Hirlinger
Bridesmaid
Gabby and Miranda met on bid day for their sorority their first year of college and have stayed close over all these years since! Gabby is an encouraging, devoted, sincere, and positive friend that anyone would be lucky to have by their side. We cannot wait to have her be part of our big day!
Spencer Niehaus
Groomsman
Robert and Spencer met in 2nd grade when Robert moved onto the same street as Spencer. When they weren’t playing organized sports together, they spent many summers by the pool and adventuring around the west side of town growing up. Despite going to a different high school, Spencer’s been there for Robert through all the highs and lows since then. His loyalty and wittiness is appreciated by many and we knew we couldn’t say “I Do!” without him by our side!
Julia Herndon
Bridesmaid
Since their days at Russell High School, Miranda and Julia hit it off! From football games to trips to Keeneland, their countless memories continue to grow living in different cities. Julia is a friend we know we can always count on no matter what, who is dependable and thoughtful. Lucky to have her by her side as we say I DO!
Tyler Creel
Groomsman
Robert and Tyler met their freshman year at UC and got closer after a service trip together to Nicaragua. From many late night food runs and Bearcats sporting events together, Tyler’s a loyal and reliable friend, and finds a way to be present for many milestones, regardless of how big or small. He brightens up any room he enters, and we’re thankful he’ll be a part of our special day!
Rachel Kimura
Bridesmaid
Rob and Rachel became friends freshman year of college and he tagged along to many double dates with her and her boyfriend over the years. After we started dating, we all quickly became double date partners. Miranda and Rachel formed their own strong friendship over the years. Rachel is a passionate, witty, and intelligent friend, and we are so excited to have her with us on our big day!
Kingston Akers
Ring Bearer
Born in March of 2020, Kingston is sure to be the best ring bearer ever and the star of the wedding. He is Miranda’s nephew, who is always laughing, always hungry, and always happy to see his aunt and uncle! ❤️
