Wedding Party
Dylan Erwin
Groom
I asked, she said yes.
Haygn Snowden
Bride
He asked, I said yes.
Brian Erwin
Best Man
In my own words (Dylan Erwin), Brian is the best brother in the whole wide world. Before going to college, Brian was my number one roommate for 15 years. Although he is single and ready to mingle, he will be starting his career in the United States Coast Guard as the professional floor cleaner of the ship. Because Brian is my only brother and because he's kinda cool, I wanted him to be my best man. After all he has had to put up with me for his whole life.
Christen Smith
Matron of Honor
Christen and I were co-workers, we clicked from day one. We took our lunches together every chance we got. We started to hangout more and more outside of work. Christen enjoys torturing her kids with healthy meals, painting furniture in her kitchen, buying her dog pillows and picking up junk on the side of the road. I am so excited to have Christen stand by my side on my wedding day.
Nathan Ice
Groomsman
Nathan and I met at our church's youth group when I was in middle school. Nathan is probably one of the best musicians I have ever met. Not only can Nathan play a diverse amount of instruments, he can play them at the same time. Some of our greatest times together consist of Mountain Dew, guitars, and our voices. I am very excited and honored to have this man standing with me on my wedding day. Plus if I suck at picking the music, he can save the day.
Kalee Bekemeier
Bridesmaid
Kalee is my younger sister. I never thought I would have a sister to stand by my side on my wedding but then my family grew in size May of 2012. Kalee has been a blessing to me since we first met. Kalee's favorite things include softball, her jeep, and dogs. Kalee wants to become a dental hygienist after high school. I am so excited to have her standing with me when I say "I do".
Jonathan Kirkland
Groomsman
Between playing late night video games until 2 in the morning or watching scary movies all night, Jonathan aka JK has been my best roommate while at college. I first met JK the night I came to college and went to my room. As my first roommate other than my brother, JK and I had no idea what to think of each other. For the first few months we barley talked to each other because we thought the other person was weird. Eventually, however, we bonded over Community the TV show. Ever since then, we have been roommates at college and when JK becomes a famous movie star, he's going to take me with him to receive his Academy Award for best actor.
Emily Mielke
Bridesmaid
Emily and I have been friends since the summer that we spent picking weeds together in landscaping. We really enjoyed people watching and avoiding our boss at all costs. I had no idea then that my landscaping partner would turn out to be one of my best friends. Emily enjoys game night, yelling at her cat, chasing her dog, and dreaming about painting her new home.
Beau Cartwright
Groomsman
Beau and I met in the summer of 16 at the College of the Ozarks Dairy. From the moment I saw this beautiful man I knew we needed to be friends. Not to long into the summer, we bonded over building fences in 102 degree weather and dehydration. Ever since then, its hard to describe the relationship between Beau and I. Many people at the college would describe our relationship as weird or awkward. However, our old supervisor Ryan described our relationship as Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear because we are always want to have fun and awesome ideas.
Karley Wade
Bridesmaid
Karley has been my friend since Elementary school. We became classmates, teammates, co-workers, and roommates over the years. No matter how long we are apart we always pick right back up where we left off. I am so thankful for Karley and all of our early morning tournaments, late night essay writing, mid-day Netflix binge and so many other memories. Karley loves taking pictures of her dogs, holding her new nephew, and rolling her eyes at her twin sister.
David Paul
Groomsman
I met David my first day at college and we have been friends ever since. For the first semester of our college careers, David and I got to bond over dirty dishes and cleaning floors in the schools cafeteria. After leaving at the end of semester, we had the wonderful opportunity to bond in hundred degree weather while we cut grass and laid irrigation pipe for the college's landscaping department. Now we just creep up on each other and see how can shake the other person the best regardless where we are or who is around.
Jackson Bekemeier
Bouncer
Jackson is my step-brother and he has been a huge blessing in my life. Jackson aspires to play disc golf for the rest of his life. He plans to single handedly add disk golf to the olympic game's agenda. Then he plans to bring home the gold. Gold coins that is. As he will be the official Olympic Disc Golf team's water boy. After retiring as a professional disc golf water boy, he will most likely move to a country club and build new disc golf courses all over the world. So he can continue to give out bottled water to the athletes.
Austin Gauer
Bouncer
Austin is my youngest brother. I fell in love with the turd as soon as my mom let me hold him for the first time. Austin always makes my day brighter. He plays football, and runs track. He enjoys breaking world records on every video game he plays, giving puppy dog eyes at every dog he sees, and creating pyramids built of empty water bottles in his room.
