Wedding Party

Tom Kunzer

Groom

Jocelann Christiansen

Bride

Mike Kapst

Best Man

Mike is Tom’s cousin who is more like a brother to him which is why Tom knew he had to be by his side on our special day. These two have stories on stories on stories from growing up together and now, despite living hundreds of miles away from each other, they still stay close and in touch.

Shelby Johnson

Maid of Honor

Shelby and I actually disliked each other up until high school when we became best friends lol and to this day, neither one of us even knows how we became friends. And now, I can’t imagine my special day without her by my side. ( this pic is from the night Tom and I met :') )

Kyle Brown

Groomsman

Kyle and Tom are lifelong friends. They went to elementary school together and have remained friends despite going to separate high schools, colleges, and now living in different states. Tom’s fondest memory with Kyle is playing AirSoft in his backyard as kids.

Kelly Troxel

Bridesmaid

Kelly and I go wayyyy back. We were in Girl Scouts together for many years and have remained friends since elementary school. She is a lifelong friend who I’ve created so many memories with.

Jon Shelabarger

Groomsman

Jon and Tom have been friends since their freshman year at Simpson. They played (and didn’t play) together on the Simpson baseball team and were roommates for the last 3 years of college. And now, they have a standing coffee date every Friday morning.

Alyssa Stratton

Bridesmaid

Alyssa and I also go way back! 15 years of friendship and we’re still going strong - we don’t see eachother often, but when we do we always just pick up where we left off. Alyssa and I went to grade school together and then she ended up going to Simpson College with Tom. We owe it all to her - she’s the one who introduced us those 4.5 years ago!! (picture provided from Simpson's iconic football house)

Brandon Urias

Groomsman

Brandon and Tom became friends through baseball their freshman year at Simpson. They share an unending love of golf and it’s a running joke that the two roomies (Tom and Brandon) that weren’t girl crazed in college, are now the ones engaged!

Annalise Christiansen

Bridesmaid

Anna is my middle sister. 20 years with this one, and not a single bad memory! Just kidding, we fought like every other sibling (and still do) but as we’ve both gotten older we’ve grown much closer. Best of all, I appreciate having someone to drink with on the holidays lol.

Jonathan Sailstad

Groomsman

Tom and Jonathan became friends while playing baseball at Simpson and they were roommates for a year out of college. Jonathan has always been a person Tom could go to for anything - including sports gambling advice ;)

Aubriann Christiansen

Bridesmaid

Aubri is my youngest sister, the baby of the family. My fav memory is from about 10 years ago, the girls and I were home alone. On this specific night, it was Anna and I pestering Aubri. Aubri got tired of us so she went up to her room and closed the door, however, Anna and I just proceeded to annoyingly knock and pound on her door. Aubri responded back by kicking her door over and over until she kicked too hard and put a nice hole in her door. At that moment it was no longer Anna and I against Aubri; it was us against our parents in order to not get in trouble. Our teamwork kicked in and we attempted to switch out the door with a different one from the basement. Unfortunately, that didn’t work so we opted on explaining to our parents what happened. Which was fine because Aubri is the favorite child and didn’t get in trouble. (typical)

Alec Hensley

Groomsman

Tom and Al became friends through Simpson baseball and were roommates for a year after college. They remain close friends today and bond over their insanely immense love for accounting!

Sarah Kunzer

Bridesmaid

Sarah is my future sister-in-law! I feel so blessed to not only be gaining another sister, but I have also gained another friend! From the moment I met her 4 years ago, she has made me feel so welcomed into the family.
