Wedding Party
Bailey Beitel
Maid of Honor
Bailey and I (Paige) were roommates for three years and friends for over a decade. She's my partner in crime, she loves me unconditionally, and she's always been right by my side. She made college-living home. Now that we live apart, we talk every day (and night) to help each other adult together. Also, have you SEEN her Minecraft builds? AMAZING.
Eli Olah
Best Man
Eli might not be "found" family, per se, since he was thrust upon me as a sibling, but he's not too bad. I might go as far as to say he's been a great brother and friend, and the day wouldn't be complete without some of the shenanigans I'm sure he has cooked up. "Ok bud" - Olah, 2022, when told he would have a new sister
Meghan Bjork
Maid of Honor
Meghan and I were roommates for 2 years. Meghan always brings love, fun, and unpredictability to everything (read: chaotic good), which is why I love her. Her book collection rivals public libraries, and she gave me a key to her home so I can visit her cat when she's gone.
Luke Chenevey
Best Man
Man, who knew getting a random roommate as a freshman at college could work out so well? Since moving into BG, Luke has been one of my best, closest friends. We've gone through so much of life together in the past five years, from figuring out how to live on our own, to attending random events all across campus, to now two amazing weddings. "SHOOT. WHAT THE HECK" - Chenevey, 2022, when learning that Paige and I were engaged
Lauren Degener
Officiant
Lauren was Paige's roommate for 2 1/2 years, where she also became close friends (and bickering buddies) with Griffin. She embodies love, leadership, empathy, and fun - all important for the foundation of our marriage. We're so excited for her to share the ceremony with us. Oh, and did you know she's great at wedding planning? And baking cakes? And interior design? And ceremony writing? And emotional support? Yeah, we learned that.
