Best Man
We have been rocking together since diapers! Izay is my baby brother and though he was the cause of a lot of tantrums and whoopings growing up, he has always been my best friend. From walking to school, to coaching him in baseball, to him being the most popular freshman on campus because he was my little brother, he has always been right by my side along with our older sister Tierra, so it was a pretty clear choice to have him right by my side as my Best Man on my wedding day.
Maid of Honor
Seeing as she’s my sister, I’ve known her my whole life and couldn’t imagine having anyone else standing by my side on my wedding day. She is extremely caring, giving and beautiful with those gorgeous curly locks. The queen of stealing my clothes and driving me crazy!

Kelly and I met in college where we were golf teammates at Concordia University in St. Paul, MN. Some of my favorite memories are our "The Bachelor" Monday watch nights and we have went to many concerts together including Dan & Shay and The Plain White Tees. Kelly has the magic touch of winning free concert tickets that I will never be able to figure out!
Bridesmaid
Tori and I met later in life in our 20's when we worked together at Aerotek. The first day we met we bonded over having went to the same college and not having met each other there. Ever since then we were attached at the hip at work and hitting happy hour after hours. Tori and I with our 3 total pups even lived together during 2020-2021 year during the pandemic. We have not been friends for over 5 years and I wouldn't trade her for the world!
Bridesmaid
Mira and I met our first day of college as we were neighbors in our dorm at Concordia St. Paul! We have seen each other grow since freshman in college to full grown adults now. Mira and I have seen each other go through a lot of trials and tribulations through our 20's and we wouldn't of survived with out each other. We always loved hitting up Bread & Chocolate Cafe and having laughs in our dorm rooms in college. We have been friends for over 10 years this year!
Bridesmaid
Juliane is my longest and dearest friend. We met when my family moved into the Newton neighborhood when I was 3 years old. Being right next door to each other we became instant friends. We have been through the sandbox days, ugly middle school years, family loss, college, and adult years all together. We always joke about how we would have never been friends if we had not met as neighbors since we are so different. However, I would not have survived all these years with out my Juli - Buns (my nickname for her) and now could never imagine my life without her. We are truly soul sisters!
Bridesmaid
Kreisha and I met working at Express (clothing store) in college. Although, I enjoyed the job much more than she did (hehe), we bonded over the late nights folding jeans 1.1. We ended up becoming roommates after our time working at Express and lived together for 2 years. People often ask us if we are sisters and our Mom's even have the same first and middle name. Kreisha is my sister from another mister.
Groomsman
Where do I even start with D! The only thing keeping us from being actual brothers is that our moms are first cousins. Even though he always hated that everyone thought I was the older cousin (he got me by two months) we grew into men together. Started off watching Pokemon and Digimon eating fruity pebbles in our draws on Sunday morning and transitioned to leaving the nest to take on the world, this is my brother and I wouldn't want to have this day without him being a part of it.

Matt was a college roommate/teammate turned bestfriend for life! We had lots of battles at practice and on Sundays anytime the Chargers and Broncos clashed. One of the most selfless people I know, he always had my back and really anyone that needed him. From Bdubs the day before a game, having me over for Thanksgiving when I couldn't make it home, getting chocolate wasted in Lincoln, losing all of his disc golf discs ( I always replaced them), to him and Brit (his wife) being the siblings that I just met later in life, Matt is my brother and I am glad to be able to have him share this day with Hailey and I.
Groomsman
Lil Dave! David and I met Freshman year of high school in 4th period PE and were also teammates. From the day that we met we have been tight. His family is my family and vice versa. Our friend group (including Jayna, Caro, and Tracy) were my circle during high school. I can truly say that Dave is my oldest friend and despite us growing up and taking on life in different directions we still remain tight. David is the definition of A1 since day 1. there was no chance I wasn't having him as a part of this day.
Junior Groomsmen
Jayden is our nephew and our favorite young man! We wouldn't want to stand up here without him. Hailey bonded with Jayden over the phone before they even met for the first time. He always asked to talk to her and not his uncle Kerry. We love him to bits!
Personal Attendant
Jayme grew up in the house directly across the street from mine. With Jayme being a few years older she instantly somewhat of an older sister. We have shared lots of laughs and tears together through our always needed chats. Jayme will always be the big sister I never had :)
