Wedding Party
Valerie Croll
Maid of Honor
Valerie and I roomed together in college. She would bring me home on weekends and then she never got rid of me. We have been there for each other through thick and thin. From Jones Soda parties to impromptu shopping trips (she always finds the coolest things). She is my sister and I don't know what I would do without her.
Whitney Croll
Bridesmaid
Whitney is my little Iowa sister. I've cheered her on from middle school volleyball through college cheerleading and now adulthood. We love us some Ludo (I can sing "Good Will Hunting" properly now), swimming, and traveling all over with the fam.
Autumn Hellman
Bridesmaid
Autumn and I met through being bridesmaids at Jen's wedding. We instantly connected over our love of Disney and being teachers and have become great friends.
Jen Hansen
Bridesmaid
Jen and I met teaching in Walnut School District many years ago. She and I bonded over our love of elephants, being midwest transplants, and our love of all things nerdy. She and her husband throw great Christmas parties. You never know who you're going to meet there.
Jeff Hellman
Best Man
Eldest of the Hellman brother crew. One-time Brolympic champion, now the spearhead of the revival of the Hellman 3-mile run and the goto Brudda for beer brewing advice.
Ben Hellman
Groomsman
Third brother of the Hellman crew. A grand competitor by Brolympic standards. A great companion for a Saturday spent smoking tasty meats and throwing a few rounds of disc golf.
Mike Hellman
Groomsman
The fourth and final member of the Hellman brother crew. The current winter Brolympic champion. His adventures in the kitchen are always a delight for hungry competitors. He is also a fellow concert companion and lover of all things Dave Matthews Band.
Scott Sic
Groomsman
A long-time hunting buddy and recent disc golf rival. Numerous fall hours have been spent together waiting in the marsh and walking in the brush. Some successful and others not so much. When spring arrives, the competition begins as who reigns supreme in weekly rounds of disc golf-friendly rivalry.
