Wedding Party
Meredith Macri
Maid of Honor
Meredith and I have been friends since our preschool dance class. From there throughout elementary, middle, high school, college to now she has been a constant source of love and laughter in my life. Its rare to have someone that you have truly shared a lifelong friendship and I am so blessed that we are still such a big part of each other's lives. After 20 years, it was only natural she would be my Maid of Honor.
Michael Nichols
Best Man
Mike has known me since birth and has been a role-model for me since then as well. I have always looked up to him and I know that I can always go to him when I need help or advice. Half of my music taste is his from him playing Blink-182 and Reliant-K (the other half is from Rachel). There's no one I'd rather have as my Best Man.
Emma Leiker
Bridesmaid
Emma has been one of my closest friends since high school. She is one of the most selfless people you will ever meet and loves her friends fiercely. I have always admired her confidence and humor. You can find her DIYing the coolest projects and finding ways to make all our friends loved and included.
Tommy Zakrzewski
Groomsman
Tommy has always been there for me and I have been so blessed to have a brother that I can also call a friend. He has always been there with a word of comfort or dry humor when things seem to be going wrong or I am stressed. You could say he has a lifetime of knowledge. I loved sharing my last two years of college with him and getting to see him and Brian grow closer.
Sammie VanNorstrand
Bridesmaid
My earliest memory of Sammie is at a sleepover in my basement during middle school. We had dressed up in silly costumes and were watching our celebrity crush on the Jay Leno show. I remember feeling like I had found someone who "got" me and I could be totally myself around. Sammie is incredibly strong, smart, and hilarious and I have been so lucky to share so much of my life with her.
Landon Baird
Groomsman
Landon is my oldest friend, since we had stepbrothers moment in first grade. Landon is caring, always sees the best in people, and makes it easy to feel like you are part of the group. His laughter is contagious and I know I can always count on him. I am so grateful to have called him my friend for so many years.
Mary Margaret Duncan
Bridesmaid
Mary Margaret has been one of my closest friends since freshman year of high school. I have always looked up to her faith and class and we have shared a love of afternoon tea and all things British. We studied abroad in Rome together which are some of my favorite memories as we explored every monday.
Reese Leiker
Groomsman
I met Reese in middle school, and the rest is history. He has been a constant friend that has always looked out for me and supported me through everything. He is the ultimate hype man and is always there when you need him. I am so blessed to have a friend that I can trust with anything and that calls me higher each day.
Colleen Knot
Bridesmaid
Colleen is the friend I never knew I needed. We became friends when she moved out to Denver to be closer to her now husband Reilley, one of Brian and I's high school friends. Colleen (Collin) is intentional with her friendships and constantly seeks to build people up and encourage them to be the best version of themselves. I constantly look up to her in her faith and depth of her love.
Kyle Gershon
Groomsman
Kyle can make you laugh no matter how bad you feel. He is a beautiful singer, and I love when I can hear him sing in the shower from my room. He has been a constant in my life since middle school and is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet and always makes sure you have a good time.
Rachel Moore
Bridesmaid
What to say about Rachel Moore. There is too much to fit here - she is kind, hilarious, genuine and one of the best friends you could ever ask for. I have been more than blessed to have walked with her through college and to call her a friend for so many years. She has always been there for a laugh, prayer or advice and she is a part of several of my favorite memories. She also loves shrimp.
Jack Rueschhoff
Groomsman
Jack and Zoe were originally friends as they met at Cabrini, but jack was one of my best friends from day one. He is one of the funniest people I’ve ever met and it is a treat to hear him tell one of his many stories. More than his humor I admire Jack for his devout faith and fierce loyalty to his friends. He is so great about encouraging my growth in the spiritual life without it feeling awkward and I know that I can count on Jack for anything.
Leah Petrie
Bridesmaid
Leah and I have been friends since our freshman year of college and then I hit the jackpot as we've been roommates ever since. She is caring, authentic, and genuinely one of the funniest people I have ever met. I have always felt I can be myself around her. I have been so lucky to have someone in my life that can both bring the party energy and comfort me when I'm down.
Waylon Duncan
Groomsman
I met Waylon through our friend Mary Margaret when he moved out here for a summer to be closer to her. At first I was wary of this man who looked straight out of 1950's England and was one of the top 5 most intelligent people I have ever met. He quickly became a staple in our group and I consistently seek him out for advice both for life and fish.
Amy Hardesty
Bridesmaid
Amy and I have been roommates since college and I have always looked up to her for how classy she is and her passion. She has been my travel buddy both visiting me in Europe and travelling with me to Indiana which shows the lengths she will go to for a friend. I have been so lucky to share my life with her for so many years.
Reilley Knott
Groomsman
Reilley and I met all the way back in high school- he and Zoe had already been friends but he was one of the ones who really made me feel at home. I have always admired Reilley for his drive and kindness. He truly makes everyone feel welcome and ensures no one is left out. We have also bonded over video games as Awe try to keep up in our spare time.
