Courtney & Jaren Williams
Wedding Party
Natalie Elwanger
Maid of Honor
Natalie is so much more than my maid of honor, she is my rock. We met in 2017 working at Subway together, and in 2020 when I got sent home from college, we became roommates. We shared our apartment for almost two years, and have continued to grow closer even 1200 miles away. We balance each other out in so many ways, and I can't imagine life without her. Natalie is the life of the party!
Darian Daniels
Bridesmaid
Darian and I have known each other since birth, she is my cousin and built in best friend. We have been partners in crime as long as we can remember and we wouldn't have it any other way. I had the honor of standing by her side on her big day earlier this year, and I couldn't imagine my wedding without her in it! Cradle to grave.
Allison Balbuena
Bridesmaid
Ally and I have been friends since we were 12 years old. By the time we got to high school we were inseparable. There wasn't a single school dance I didn't bring her to, and even though she was homeschooled, I think we got her into my school yearbook every year. Ally is now a wife and an amazing mama to her two sweet girls, I am so blessed to have such a great role model!
Lene Riggers
Bridesmaid
Lene an I met in college at CWU, living in a suite with 6 other girls. She has an absolutely magnetic personality, and it took all of an hour for her to become my absolute best friend. We can go months without talking and then spend the entire day on FaceTime and pick up right where we left off. Lene is now a great mama and she is living her best like in Alaska!
Madison Arndt
Bridesmaid
Madi is my big sister and I've been tormenting her since the day I was born. If you know, you know. All jokes aside, Madi and I have an awesome relationship as adults. Madi is built in motivation for me, she is such an overachiever. After 4 years serving our country in the military, she is becoming a physicians assistant at UW Tacoma. I loved being a part of Madi's wedding, and I'm so glad she will be by my side as well!
Caleb Williams
Best Man
Caleb is Jaren's brother and best man. They have such a strong bond as brothers, and Caleb is always there when we need him. Caleb is the best dad to Macklin and Bailey, and he is also getting married in 2024! We are so lucky to have him.
Michael Heiner Jr
Groomsman
Michael was our mutual friend before we ever had even spoken to each other. When we started dating, we realized we were both friends with Michael and started hanging out all together. Michael and Courtney met as kids, and got closer in high school, and Michael and Jaren have been friends since elementary school. Jaren and Michael went to school together, grew up playing baseball together, and walked together at graduation.
Wyatt Dial
Groomsman
Wyatt and Jaren went to college together at U of I, and became very close. Wyatt is a ranch hand in central Oregon, and Jaren enjoys visiting him and getting to experience the ranch life. Something so special to us is that Wyatt gave us Newt, which was a hard decision and ended up being the biggest blessing!
Randy Hauck
Groomsman
We met Randy in Laramie, and he has quickly become very important to us. We were in the same bowling league our first year in Wyoming, and quickly became close friends. Randy is our biggest fan here in Laramie, and was always asking Jaren when he was going to pop the question. He also loves being a taste tester for Courtney's sourdough business.
Newt Williams
Best Boy
Newt is our big baby, we love him so much. He has been a part of our family since 2022, and he brings us so much joy!!
Macklin Williams
Ring Bearer
Mack is the kid that made us auntie and uncle. He is the absolute kindest kid you will ever meet, even when he was a toddler he was the sweetest boy. Mack was born just after auntie and uncle started dating, and it's crazy to see him all grown up and going to school!
Addison Trautman
Flower Girl
Addi is Courtney's cousin, and she is the sweetest thing! She is the first person to run up and give me a hug when I'm in town visiting. Addi is the smartest little girl, and I love getting to watch her grow up! She is so excited to be a flower girl twice in one year- she did a great job at Darian's wedding!!
Bailey Williams
Flower Girl
Bailey Rae is our spunky sassy little niece. She is so much fun. We've never met someone who can fall asleep so quickly and in the most random places, she always keeps us laughing. She and Mack are the cutest pair!
