Elisa & Toby
Wedding Party
Kristen Smith
Matron of Honor
Kristen and Elisa have been friends and making mischief from preschool on through high school, college, and beyond. We have seen each other through thick and thin - the highs of falling in love, career successes, having children, and the lows of losses and heartbreaks. Elisa cannot imagine anyone else standing with her on this most special of days.
Paul Zeig
Best Man
Paul has had a significant place as a close friend of the Redman Family, first as a law partner of Jim's in Red Wing, and later as a pillar of support after Jim's death. Paul and Toby had heard of one another for years, and bonded first over shared friendship with Jim and later found a special comradeship of their own.
Samuel Redman
Brother of the Bride
Sam will be standing in for his Dad as he walks the bride down the aisle. Sam is not just a brother, but a best friend and confidante. He is the only person Elisa would want to share in this moment with her besides her Dad.
Stuart Loecker
Host/Usher
Stuart has such a special place in Elisa's life, and now he and Toby have become fast friends. Toby always knows that Stuart is there as Elisa's protector when Toby can't be there.
Michael Johnson
Host/Usher
Mike has been a stalwart friend of Elisa's since their University days, and Toby has found a true brother-in-arms in him, which is reciprocated in full!
Olivia and Beatrice Smith
Flower Girls
Olivia and Beatrice are special young ladies in Elisa's life. They are Kristen's twin girls and know Elisa as "Auntie E".
Owen Redman
Ring Bearer
Owen is Elisa's nephew and the apple of her eye, and Toby has a motorcycle so is Owen's hero!
Sasha Mackin
Reader
Sasha has been a treasured friend of Elisa's since the first week of high school at St. Paul Central. They met in English class, so it is fitting that she is reading a Shakespearean sonnet. Sasha's friendship has been a touchstone in Elisa's life with her sense of humor, loyalty, and wisdom.
Linda Maynard Jacobs
Reader
Linda is Elisa's aunt and godmother, and has always been an unending source of unconditional love that she has now extended to include Toby.
Stephanie Johnson
Personal Attendant
After 15 years, Stephanie is one of Elisa's "newest" friends. Always a source of unending support and positivity, Elisa and Steph share a love of "Outlander" and red wine!
Molly Kaatz
Personal Attendant
Molly and Elisa's friendship goes back to a 1997 study abroad in London. She is everyone's Den Mother and has welcomed Toby into the "London Crew's" friendship circle with open arms.
