Parents of the Bride
Susan is from Philadelphia, PA and Barry is from Fairfax, VA. Susan is the middle of 3 daughters. Her older sister is Nancy and her younger sister is Amy. Barry is 1 of 4, Becky, Brian, and Barbara are his siblings. My mom adopted me at 15 months old and until I was 10 it was just us. Barry came along and they married in 2012. They currently live in Reston, Va.

Neal is from Monona, IA and grew up on a farm with eleven other siblings. Deb is from Postville, IA and grew up on a farm with six other siblings. My parents met at a dance hall in Luana, IA in 1986. They eventually got married and moved onto my mothers childhood home on the farm in Postville. They have four children; Amanda, Kristine, Jonathan, and Bryan. They raised and milked cows up until 2010. They remain on the farm today raising crops.
Hanna Horwitz
Maid of Honor
Hanna is my ride or die, my sister from another mister, my best friend! We met in elementary school and have been making trouble ever since. We come as a package deal and I truly couldn't say "I do" without her by my side.
Keefe Williams
Best Man
Keefe and I met back in college, and became roommates. During that time we made a lot of memories going to parties, playing basketball, going to concerts, and lots of other things. Since college we've remained great friends and continue to make memories together from me being in his wedding and watching him become a father. Keefe is my best man because of all the great times we shared and like any good friend he's there when you need him, and there when you don't.
Harleen Singh
Bridesmaid
Harleen is my voice of reason and keeps me grounded. We met in elementary school and I am surprised she has put up with me for so long!
Bryan Horns
Groomsman
Bryan is my little brother. Like many other brothers we played and fought together. He may be smarter and have better hair than me, but at least I got the good looks. Bryan and I have become inseparable over the years and we look after each other. We live together and allow Lily to live with us now as well.
Whitney Ricker
Bridesmaid
Whitney and I met at JMU through our sorority, Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi. We are the ultimate Big and Little duo. JMU got so much better once I met her!
Charlie Hewitt
Groomsman
Charlie and I were coworkers. During that time we became great friends. We would go to the gym together 4-5 days a week pushing each other. We would also spend most weekends together going out to play pool. We've gone on multiple trips together and gone exploring. One of my favorite trips was going to Vegas and seeing the Hoover Damn and the Grand Canyon all in the same trip. Since then we have gone on several Raigbrai rides together and will continue to do so for hopefully many more years.
LeeAnne BugtervanLoon
Bridesmaid
LeeAnne and I met in graduate school at The University of St. Augustine. LeeAnne pushed me and kept me motivated to the very end!
Kory Turner
Groomsman
Kory and I have been friends since we were little kids. We became best friends in high school when several of our classes aligned and we had other extra curricular activities together. We hung out almost all the time. During the winters we would go on snowmobile rides around the area. Now that we're older we go on motorcycle rides, and have taken trips to different parts of the country. (Sturgis, Black Hills, Daytona, Key West, and several more).
Victoria Boyd
Bridesmaid
Victoria is one of the first friends I made on my own in Iowa. She is the best colleague and OT I know. We make a great OT team!
John Matejka
Groomsman
We call him Jr.! Jr. is my boyfriend and if we were both still single then we would be married to each other. We met back in college and also were coworkers for a time. We solidified our friendship at Country Fest in Cadot Wisconsin. Jr. is the buddy that will always make you laugh and put a smile on your face. You'll go grab one beer together to catch up after not seeing each other for some time and end up staying out all night because the time flies when you're with your bestie.
Rylee Stricker
Bridesmaid
Rylee is Cole's wife, a good friend of Jon, and now a good friend of mine. She is super fun, sweet, and ambitious. Rylee made me feel so welcomed to their friend group and Iowa.
Cole Stricker
Groomsman
Cole and I met in my third year of college. It didn't take long for us to become friends. He's a very personable, and determined person. We hung out and went out as most college friends do. Luckily our lives didn't part ways after college. Some most memorable times were simply hanging out on Thursday nights watching football at the bowling alley bar (Kingpin). I got to be a part of his amazing wedding and now I'm happy for him to be in mine.
Emma Williams
Bridesmaid
Emma is Keef's wife and good friend of Jon. Emma just graduated with her Masters in Occupational Therapy. She referred me to Northern Iowa Therapy where I currently work, which was incredibly helpful with my move to Iowa. She has also welcomed me to the friend group with open arms. It truly warmed my heart when she said "I don't know who I pictured would be perfect for Horns, but Lily is
Collin Thompson
Groomsman
Collin and I met in our first year of college at NICC. While at NICC we would spend some weekends going down to Waterloo to party with some other friends who were going to Hawkeye Community College. After our two years at NICC we both liked going down to Hawkeye on the weekends that we decided to continue our education at Hawkeye for another two years. It was at this time we rented a house together along with Keefe (best man) and we became even closer as friends. We both share similar interests in country living and farming. We even work for the same employer today.
Maya Vogelson
Junior Bridesmaid
Maya is my cousin but I see her more as a little sister. My most memorable trip from childhood was going to Vietnam with my Aunt Amy and mom to welcome her into the family. She has a special place in my heart!
Tenley Williams
Flower Girl
Tenley is Keef and Emma's daughter!
Eli Keppler
Ring Bearer
Eli is Jon's nephew!
