Kara & Ryan
Wedding Party
Madeline Banashak
Maid of Honor
Madeline, loves to adventure and travel. She's always looking for the next horizon on foreign peaks and has always been one of our greatest friends. About a decade ago she introduced Kara and myself, and the rest has been history. Ask her about where she has been, and where she is going next.
Justin Hylen
Best Man
Our leisure sport King. I've known Justin for most of my life and he continues to be the primary organizer of my social life. As the Best Man for his wedding, I am happy to have him on board for mine. Justin is a man with many hobbies and questions.
Brandon Gee
Groomsman
Gee and I go back, about as far as I can remember. He's always been there for me, through thick and thin. He is friendly, good natured, and a natural conversationalist. He enjoys a solid dad-joke and stays a busy man with a multitude of projects.
Shanae Hover
Bridesmaid
Shanae has grown up along side Kara, and has the same easy going smile as all the Hover's. She's friendly beyond belief and onboard for most anything. We are so excited that she can join us on our wedding day and appreciate her friendship greatly.
Fawn Hylen
Bridesmaid
We've known Fawn for a long time, she loves crafting, sewing, and being in on the action. She's friendly, helpful, and made a lot of this wedding come together. She's a dedicated friend and always friendly. We're so happy to have her and so grateful for her time and effort.
Andy Lake
Groomsman
A man of class. I've known him since Highschool, we both share a deep appreciation of history, and a good beer. As a new father, he is staying busy. I appreciate his time in our wedding endeavor, and his friendship even more.
Sam Santamaria
Groomsman
Supportive, fun, and charismatic. Sam's been in my life, and onboard for adventures, for a long time. He's a dedicated family man who's always down for a beer and good conversation. He can build you a website and make you genuinely smile.
Cassie Cruzen
Bridesmaid
Our families grew up together, but we didn't connect until 3rd grade when she came up to me on the playground and asked me if my name was Ann. I thought she was nuts, but we have been friends ever since! Cassie is the kind of friend that you can go any length of time without seeing or talking to and pick up exactly where you left off. I am so happy she is able to stand with us on our big day and am so grateful for our friendship.
