Wedding Party
Mikayla Souman
Matron of Honor
Mikayla is one of Brittany’s oldest friends - friends from the womb, as they say. Mikayla and Brittany have many memories together, from interesting childhood games they made up to high school classes, movie nights, and sleepovers together to traveling to Latvia and the Netherlands. They haven’t lived in the same town for most of their adult lives, but still keep in touch and are the best of friends. Mikayla is a faithful friend who is intentional about keeping in touch, even while living thousands of miles away in the Netherlands.
Alyssa Holste
Matron of Honor
Alyssa is Brittany’s sister. Alyssa and Brittany share many family memories together, and there’s no one who can make Brittany laugh quite as hard as Alyssa does. From making goofy childhood music videos together, having carnivals in their bedroom, and living in Arizona together as adults, Alyssa and Brittany have had some fun times together. Alyssa has a contagious energy that brightens everyone’s day.
Danae Brown
Maid of Honor
Danae is Brittany’s youngest sister. Being a little farther apart in age, Danae and Brittany became much closer as adults. They lived in Arizona for a bit together and really bonded over the struggles of adulthood, like not wanting a java chip smoothie from the Human Bean, but your sister ordered one for you anyway. Danae and Brittany always have great, deep conversations that Brittany will always be thankful for. Danae is always there to listen when you need to talk.
Emily Honer
Bridesmaid
Emily is one of Brittany’s closest friends. Growing up in the church together, Emily and Brittany have gotten the opportunity to serve together in a variety of ways - cooking Wednesday night dinners at the church, going on a mission trip to Latvia, helping with women’s events, and leading a high school girl’s bible study together. Emily is a friend who always encourages Brittany in her walk with Christ and Brittany is grateful for her wisdom.
Kathryn Toombs
Bridesmaid
Kathryn is one of Brittany’s dear friend since middle school. Kathryn and Brittany share many fun memories from high school together - struggling through chemistry class, but having fun while doing it, making videos for history class, and enjoying good movies during sleepovers. Kathryn and Brittany also had a blast traveling around Europe a few years ago, and they’ve lived together as roomates the last few years, something Brittany will always cherish.
Stephanie Martin
Bridesmaid
Stephanie is one of Brittany’s most adventurous friends. Stephanie and Brittany ran cross country together in high school and continue to run everytime they’re in town together. Stephanie is always down to adventure and do something fun - from traveling Europe together, exploring California beaches, and running a 36 hour relay together. Stephanie is a loyal friend and Brittany cherishes every time they get to hang out.
Taylee Martin
Bridesmaid
Taylee is one of Brittany’s oldest friends. Taylee and Brittany grew up just down the street from each other and had a fantastic childhood hanging out together - creating chalk towns and scootering around to each one, making funny videos all summer long, and enjoying movie nights with their families. Taylee has a great sense of humor and her and Brittany can’t help but laugh when they’re together.
Zoey Barton
Bridesmaid
Zoey is a dear friend of Brittany and also one of her smartest friends. Brittany loves meeting for coffee with Zoey in the morning and discussing their latest business ideas or how to be better managers. Zoey played a big part in Aaron and Brittany’s relationship by encouraging Aaron to ask Brittany out again. Without Zoey, we may not be where we are today. Zoey’s a wise and supportive friend.
Matt Vidican
Best Man
Aaron and Matt met in middle school. They became close friends in high school through sports + other extracurricular activities. Even though they’ve lived in different places most of their adult lives, they’ve stayed in touch through late night video game chats about life, love, and the pursuit of being the best at Civilization (5 or 6). Matt is someone who pursues excellence and never gives up on his dreams.
Hunter Schultz
Groomsman
Aaron and Hunter have known each other since elementary school. They grew closer as friends through the escapades of middle school + high school sports. Hunter was always the reliably intelligent friend, with great advice to offer. Hunter + Aaron also keep in contact through video game chats.
Josh Kieffer
Groomsman
Aaron + Josh met in elementary school, but grew in their friendship through middle school + high school sports. Josh was always the quiet yet intimidating friend of the group. He’s confident, yet humble, and he never shies away when backing down in the post.
Calvin Eggenberger
Groomsman
Aaron + Calvin met in grad school where they suffered long hours of both endless studying and ruthless video game competition. Calvin is inspiring as he does all he can to be an incredible friend and a hardworking husband/father.
Jordan Brown
Groomsman
Aaron met Jordan when he moved to Oregon and they connected over their love of playing basketball and board games. Jordan wanted to make sure Aaron felt welcomed his first year in Oregon, so he invited him to his family’s Thanksgiving + Christmas. This worked out because Aaron got to meet all of Brittany’s family lowkey before they were dating. They all just thought he was Jordan’s friend… and he was… he just also wanted to be friends with Brittany. Jordan helped Aaron get connected with friends when he first moved to Oregon.
Chris Detloff
Groomsman
It’s no surprise to those who know him, but Chris was the first person Aaron met when he moved to Oregon. He’s welcoming + friendly and immediately invited Aaron to a Halloween party that Brittany was hosting. Chris was one of the primary reasons that Aaron’s transition to Oregon was both calming and exciting.
Corey Barton
Groomsman
Aaron met Corey quickly after moving to Oregon, and they both connected over the love of outdoors. They both enjoy their new yearly traditions of exploring/camping in national parks together, including the 5:30am peaceful cup of coffee enjoyed by the fire. Corey is honest and hardworking, especially when it comes to Aaron requiring a flat tire fix.
Charlie Holste
Flower Girl
Charlie is Brittany’s niece and the cutest one year old around! She loves her cat, reading books, and spending time with her family.
Tatum Martin
Ring Bearer
Tatum is Taylee’s son and the cutest two year old around! Tatum loves animals and hanging with his friend Charlie (aka the flower girl).
