Maid of Honor
Cassie & Alicia met in 6th grade at lunch and have been there for one another through all of life's phases now including engaged life. This red head beauty is actually getting married to an awesome guy the following month so be sure to congratulate her as well when you see her. :) - Throughout the last 15 plus years she has been a staple in Cassie's life who has always had Cass's best interests at heart (including Jake) who Alicia quickly became a number one fan of!
Best Man
The closest duo out there to everyone's favorite step brothers Dale & Brennon- Jake and Hunter are more than just brothers they are best friends. Hunter is Jakes best man & Dash's God father & how grateful are we to have him stand by our side on our wedding day.
Matron of Honor
Cassie met Samantha during math class in the 6th grade. Cassie asked her to be her partner & the rest was history after that. The two have literally been inseparable since then - in fact, not even kids & marriage could separate the two. Their little boys are actually only 3 months apart." - talk about double trouble. Samantha has been Cassie's number one cheerleader from the get - getting her through all of life's ups & downs!
Groomsman
These two have been the best of buds since the start of High School & have been truly inseparable since. Not even Will moving to Arizona could break the bond these guys have. Over the years Will has become family to the Hendrickson / Hoaglund clan & when you meet him you will easily see why he's so dearly loved by the family & everyone around him.
Bridesman
Cassie couldn't honestly tell you when she actually met Jaclyn! Jaclyn couldn't tell you when she met Cassie - It's like the two woke up best friends. What the two do know is that Jaclyn went to a rival High School & mutual friends somehow brought the two together. Jaclyn is a wanderlust with a personality as infectious as they come! She will be putting her world travels & teachings of yoga & self health on hold for a few weeks to be with the couple on their big day.
Groomsman
Jakes first and greatest wing man! Trent was there the night that Jake & Cassie met for the first time but we won't embarrass him with that story ;) (love you Trent) These two go way back & have a great friendship. Trent has always been there for us from helping us move homes (twice) to always cheering us on. We can't wait to have him stand with us while we celebrate.
Bridesmaid
Cassie & Terina first met at a WEFest Concert - but that's a long story! Fast forward to that Fall when Cassie met Terina for a second time during a UND visit where the two decided it was absolutely fate that brought them back together! The two now live MILES apart with families to raise but talk every single day! Terina's been Cassie's rock through just about everything since that fateful UND visit.
Groomsman
Jake met Steve working at UPS. Both started around the same time & quickly the two became great friends. We love visiting with Steve, his beautiful wife & precious daughter! He's a blast to hang out with and an incredible friend to Jakob.
Bridesman
Cassie & Toni met in their early twenty's through mutual friends during their Macoluso days! The two eventually bonded over their love of wine, crafting & home décor! Their friendship wasn't immediate but grew when Cassie needed it the most. You can always count on Toni to check in & be there for the big stuff! She has a way of truly making you & your friendship feel valued.
Groomsman
As their tallest groomsman you can't miss him! Cameron is Cassie's "little" brother and part of the reason why the couple chose a venue with high ceilings. All jokes aside Cameron means the world to both the bride & groom and they are so grateful that he'll be standing beside them on their day.
Bridesmaid
Hayley is Jakes sister & over the last four years has become one of Cassie's closest friends! Although the two live entirely opposite lives - on opposite sides of the world- Hayley & Cassie couldn't be closer than they are today! Hayley will be making a special trip home from her services with the Peace Corp in Peru where she promotes community & sexual health in women. We are HONORED she will be making this trip to be there with us.
Mini Best Man
First came love then came DASH! The bride and groom can't wait to share their very special day with their favorite person, son & mini best man Dash Alexander. It's a gamble with a 3 year old of course but we have hunch he'll have a great speech prepared.
Personal Attendant
Brittany is Cassie's cousin & although the two are 4 years apart - they couldn't be more alike! It's hard to believe the two aren't actually sisters! They weren't always close growing up but with time the two got closer boding over their similarities in personality & likes. The two may be in entirely opposite points of their lives but they are 100 percent there for one another through them!
Personal Attendant
Cassie met Amanda while working at Buffalo Wild Wings at the tender & crazy age of 19. At the time Cassie was dating Amanda's cousin but they quickly bonded over much more than who they had in common. She became a best friend almost over night! Amanda is one of the funnest & most down to earth chill gals you will ever meet & always dedicated to her friendships. She's been there for Cassie & a ride or die #TeamJake from day 1. We are honored to have her stand with us on our wedding day.
Personal Attendant
We can thank Amanda's 21st birthday for introducing Lauren to Cassie. It all started out with Cassie's famous (please be my friend line) "You're so pretty let's be friends!" The two hit it off immediately and have been besties ever since. Lauren is one of the bubbliest, sweetest humans out there. She's always the first to approach the new girl & make you feel really good when you're feeling really down. She's been there from day one of Cassie & Jakes relationship & they are so grateful to her for being apart of their special day.
Usher
Jeremy is married to Cassie's cousin Ashley & the two are one of Jake & Cassie's favorites to hang out with! We love getting our families together or getting out on the town for a date night. Jeremy & Jake hit it off quickly in the beginning & have fast become good friends.
Officiant
Woodridge Church in Medina was introduced to us when we moved to Plymouth MN in 2015. Since then it has truly become a favorite place for all of us including Dash who loves their youth center & child care program. We don't get there every Sunday but when we do we feel overwhelming grace & acceptance from Paul & the members of the church. His sermons & their band moves us & (Cassie specifically to tears) every time. We are so grateful to have found Paul & for his teachings & guidance in Christ. We are honored to have him officiating our wedding.
