Kelli & Justin
The Wedding Party
Kelli Zorn
Bride
Hi! It's me. Here to share a bit about the wonderful man and women walking down the aisle with me.
Justin Hogle
Groom
Hi, it's Justin. You've heard from Kelli for most of the wedding website, but wanted to share a little about the great guys walking down with me.
Aileen Everitte
Maid of Honor
To me, she's "Wife" Aileen and I first met in our sophomore year at MSU and officially became roommates and close friends in our senior year. She's the gal who gets all the credit for getting my butt out the door for my first official date with Justin. Many years, visits (Aileen is an Interior Designer living in Chicago!), and adventures later, she's still one of my favorite people and best friends in the world.
Brandon Hogle
Best Man
Brandon is my brother of 29 years. Although at first glance he might seem like the quietest guy in the room, he is one of the most intelligent and hilarious people I know. He's the type guy who you will always have a good time with....which makes me nervous for the bachelor party! I'm so proud of him, and I'm so honored to have him as my best man in our wedding.
Anna Jane Riehl
Maid of Honor
To me, she's "Anna Bae" Anna Jane and I met shortly after Justin and I moved to Austin, Texas in July 2016. Some might say, "we met at work". Anna Jane and I consider ourselves to be trauma bonded. We survived the worst job of our working lives (so far, everyone cross your fingers!), and emerged as best friends. She's the one who goes to the movies with me on good days and on bad.
Erick Hayes
Groomsman
Erick and I have been friends since our Freshman/Sophmore year of high school. We've always been good friends, but what really brought us close is our love of hunting. We never got the chance to go when we were younger, so we've done everything we could as adults to become knowledgeable hunters. I also need to give a brief shoutout to his girlfriend Katie, for putting up with all our goofiness, and our amazing ability to track mud all over their apartment ("Do you smell dirt?"). Erick is truly one of my best friends, and I'm so happy to have him part of our special day.
Rylee Takahashi
Bridesmaid
My "little froggy" (aka, Ry) Rylee and I first met back in my dance days. I was a sophomore in high school, and I want to say Ry was about 6 or 7 years old and just getting started as a "mini". Her mom (and my dance momma), Wendy, reached out asking if I would spend some time working with Rylee via private lessons. These days, I describe her as my little sister. Rylee is a SENIOR at Chapman University with a double major in Dance and Public Relations and Advertising, with a minor in virtual and augmented reality.
Alex Zabinski
Groomsman
Alex and I have known each other since 8th grade, but we really became best friends after we both graduated college. As we both "really" grew up, we realized we shared a lot of the same thinking, goals, and aspirations. Alex is the kind of guy that you can rely on in any situation to be there for you, and is always willing to go the extra mile. I'm so grateful that we've become so close over the years, and to have him apart of our wedding.
Christopher Zorn
Bridesman
My brother...but we all knew that. Three years apart and forever butting heads, he's one of the ones who knows me best. Officially a Senior Airman in the U.S. Air Force, this guy has bounced around the last few years. Very grateful that he's currently stationed in Nevada near my parents and able to be part of our wedding.
Michael Fossbakk
Groomsman
Fuzzy (his nickname) is one of my closest and oldest friends. We originally met in 6th grade, but we became truly best friends starting in 8th/9th grade. We bonded over our love for video games, and I spent all my time over at his house playing games and getting to know him and his family. Eventually, I became good family friends with the Fossbakk's, which continues still to this day. I always knew that Fuzzy would stand with me in my wedding, and I'm so happy that it has finally become a reality.
