Wedding Party
Tatum Holdvogt
Matron of Honor
Cousin of the Bride - Tatum has been a faithful friend with a serving heart that I have been so thankful for, and consider her a true blessing in my life. I have so many fond memories of us that I cherish. My true partner in crime! I am so excited to have her stand up as my matron of honor on my wedding day!
Garett Rousu
Best Man
Garett and I have been friends for a few years. He is a great person to have by your side! Garett is a classy guy with a chill side to him. Not much razzes him, unless of course he misses his daily dose of the gym! In all honesty, Garett and I have had some great moments together talking about a life. You'd think with me being older I would have better advice giving abilities, but he out shines me in that category! I'm looking forward to the many more conversations and pointers to come as I journey through this new stage of life.
Ashley Kester
Bridesmaid
Cousin of the Bride - My very first sister! Ashley & I have grown up together, and have so so so many memories and experiences that we share together. Ashley is a sweet soul, and always has a way of making you feel loved. She's been my lifelong friend, and always will be.
Jake Averbeck
Groomsman
Jake Avberbeck - "The Man, The Myth, The Legend." I would never advise anyone to try to compete with Jake in video games, hunting, fishing or gambling - it's how he got his nickname! Jake has always been a role model in my life where I would think of him as an older brother. Jake has a very calm demeanor about him, and I'm going to be leaning on you to keep me composed on my big day!
Megan Dennis
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride - Megan is my true spirit sister. We have way too much in common, and it's as if we never parted ways whenever we get together again! One of my very first and best college friends - I am forever grateful for all that we've experienced together. She has a heart of gold, and I'm just so very blessed by her friendship.
Ketin Mickow
Groomsman
Ketin and I go way back -- I mean way back! We have known each other since grade school. There is so much history between us. He is a great person to have in my life! Ketin has an awesome work ethic, and there is no telling him no. This was evident when he pursued and accomplished his dream of becoming a firefighter. You truly inspire me to put forth the same work ethic into all areas of my life. I'm so thankful for our friendship!
Cathy Reynolds
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride - I consider Cathy the little sister I never had - we are strangely very similar in personality traits and life circumstances - and I consider it a blessing! A constant source of joy for me. If your wondering who the in the world is laughing hysterically -- at everything -- it's likely Cathy. And I wouldn't want it any other way! Thank you for being a true friend.
Joshua LaPlante
Groomsman
Brother of Bride - Joshua is commonly referred to as "the life of the party" by those around him, and himself! Always laughing & smiling - he can be such a goofball! Joshua is probably one of the most disciplined people I know, and I've always admired his drive to be his absolute best. We've had many adventures through the past 29 years of his life -- and he's always willing and forthcoming to tell of my most embarrassing moments. I will be careful to keep the microphone away from him ;) love you, Joshua!
Allison Trogstad
Honor Attendant
Friend of Bride - Allison and I have been friends since pre-school! She is genuinely the most spontaneous and thoughtful person I know. She has been a dear friend and source of joy for me for so many years, and I admire her organizational and go with the flow attitude - she'll be perfect for this role to get me through the day seamlessly!
Jayme LaPlante
Groomsman
Brother of the Bride - Jayme is a gentle giant, and my baby brother. He was the cutest baby ever!! I remember being upset he wasn't a "sister" but that very quickly faded -- I loved taking care of him. Being 7 years a part in age, it took me awhile to figure out that he actually had a personality - ha! Jayme is a tag along, go with the flow, type of person - and I have always appreciated that about him. He's so easy to please. I'm pretty sure I've bribed him with food on more than one occassion - I know the way to his heart ;) Love you, Jayme!
Hannah Mesick
Honor Attendant
Friend of the Bride - Hannah and I met in 7th grade when she moved to Chatfield. Our athletic interests are what initally bonded us, but through high school & beyond, our friendship was rooted more deeply as we bonded over life experiences and remained intentional through the distance. I always looked forward to my visits in Wisconsin, Texas, or Nashville! She can always make me laugh by just being her lovely self, and has a heart of gold.
Juan Menchaca
Usher
Juan, you have always been one of my idols. Growing up I always admired how you took on life's challenges. As your younger brother, you have always been a father figure to me whom I hope to one day resemble. You are the hardest working person I know in anything that you put your mind to. You have always challenged me and helped shape me into the person I am today!
Genaro Menchaca
Usher
Genaro, watching you as I was growing up as a child I honestly thought you were the greastest athlete that had ever been! I remember always telling my friends how great of an athlete you are and how someday i would become as good as you are. One of my favorite times in my life was playing softball with you. You don't know how much that meant to me after watching you play my whole life. As much as it pains me to say, I'm glad that I'm still chasing you in becoming as good as you are!
