Wedding Party
Jenny Hallett
Maid of Honor
For those of you who haven't heard me brag about my big sis, this is Jenny. I have known her literally my whole life and even came into the world 6 weeks early because I "just couldn't wait to meet her." We have always supported each other through life. Jen has been my biggest cheerleader & strongest ally.
Lanie Wagner
Bridesmaid
Lanie and I have known each other since grade school. We grew up down to the street from each other and eventually learned the best ways to convince our parents to let us hang out. Our friendship has been full of antics including cheetos, swimming, scooters and so much more. She is a ride or die that is down for any shenanigans.
Mandri Randeniya
Bridesmaid
Mandri and I knew each other all of high school but became inseparable in our senior year. We bonded over brunch, orchestra, and coffee. We still debate if Starbucks or Dutch Bros. is better (the correct answer is Dutch Bros.). She regularly questions my decision to live in the Midwest and I brag about the fact that I don’t have to drive through L. A. traffic. Two sides of the same sassy and overly studious coin.
Lauren Gracia
Bridesmaid
Lauren and I met in high school when she smacked my butt in the orchestra locker room. It was an automatic friendship. We would regularly laugh through classes, concerts, and orchestra trips. We laugh about any and everything to this day.
Alissa Hargett
Bridesmaid
Alissa and I met the first week of living in the dorms. We happened to be neighbors and have frequently wished we had been randomly matched as roommates. We filled our years of college with going to football games, late night study sessions (where we often laughed more than studied), and road trips. We will both always stop to pet a dog and love to listen to Banners and AJR together.
Bailey Briscoe
Bridesmaid
Bailey and I met sophomore year of college in the Industrial Design program at Iowa State. We both spent more time in the armory than we did at our homes and would get through all nighters of sanding and painting together. The more we learned about one another the closer we got. I have now seen all of the Lord of the Rings movies thanks to her and I have introduced her to Dutch Bros. coffee. Safe to say we definitely enable each other's Harry Potter obsessions and our love of doggos.
Stephanie Gauthier
Bridal Attaché & Flower Goddess
Stephanie has been a soul sister of mine since we became friends in high school. She always knows how to put a smile on my face whether it is with ADHD antics or musical sing alongs. We have continued these on regular Facetimes over the course of the last few years.
Mike Braida
Best Man
Mike has been my best friend since early elementary school. Growing up we lived just down the street from each other and hung out every day after school. We got into many shenanigans and love playing sports such as tennis, golf, and pickleball together. We both went to Iowa State for college and then moved Kansas City shortly after. We are both very competitive especially when it comes to pickleball.
Ben Thomas
Groomsman
I met Ben at my internship with Principal Financial Group in Des Moines where we worked for 8 months there. We became good friends, and both went to Iowa State where we majored in Finance. After graduation we both moved to Kansas City and love golfing on the weekends and watching sporting events.
Regan Kilzer
Groomsman
Regan is a close friend of both Nikki and I's. Nikki and Regan both majored in Industrial Design at Iowa State and we were always together as they worked on school projects in my dorm, apartment, or the industrial design building. We have been on many long crazy road trips together driving to Denver, Las Vegas, and Phoenix twice.
Ryan Muehlfelder
Groomsman
I met Ryan through Mike, the best man, as they both work at Honeywell together. Ryan and I lived across the street from each other last year and are avid cyclists. We ride a lot during the spring, summer, and fall around the Overland Park area and looking to train for his Ironman this year as well as train for us to do a century bike ride over 100 miles.
Brody Stogdil
Groomsman
Brody and I were in the same fraternity, Chi Phi, at Iowa State and had many great memories growing the fraternity during our time there. We then both moved to Kansas City after college where Nikki and I go on double dates with him and his wife Bergndi, watch sporting events, and go golfing/disc golfing.
David Hallett
Ring Bearer
Literally my favorite dude ever (sorry Kyle). But really he is my and Kyle's nephew and he already thinks Kyle is cooler than me.
