Aaron & Ashley
Wedding Party
Aaron Koehler
Groom
As a drag racer by trade, I also work as a Staff Sergeant for the Army. Me and my love are looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together. I am looking forward to celebrating this special day with everyone.
Ashley Krey
Bride
If you’re reading this, I hope you already know who I am. Family first, small town nerd. Lover of books and puppies. Ready to spend this crazy life cruising and racing with the guy they’re calling groom.
James Koehler
Best Man
It's not just a teammate, but also a brother and a big fan for me
Andrea Barker
Maid of Honor
My sister, confidant, and one of my best friends. I wouldn’t be who I am today, without her. We can pick on each other, but no one better come for our sisters. 😉
Tyler Bivens
Groomsman
Tyler and I met back in high school, when he joined the Rockridge dragracing team. He has been a great friend to me, and i consider him a brother. This may be the only time I ever tell him that I love him.
Nikki Barker
Bridesmaid
Seeeester! One of my biggest supporters and always there to back me up. We can pick on each other, but no one better come for our sisters. 😉
Matt Schiess
Groomsman
I met Matt while i was with the 2/123rd out of Milan Illinois where we deployed to Egypt together in 2010. Over the years he has become a great friend and someone who i can call at a moments notice to go racing
Wendy Knepper
Bridesmaid
Only good takeaway from St. Libory…getting a best friend at age 12 that’s still there at age 36. Sister from another mister, and future Golden Girl…duh!
Josh Brower
Groomsman
I met Josh in grade school at Illinois City. When I moved to St. Louis, I was working in the commissary and he randomly came in and I said, "hey, I know you". Since then, we have shared a lot of good memories and he has always helped me when I have had car problems. At 2am, I can call him and he will answer the phone with no questions asked.
Rachael Bivens
Bridesmaid
Not every day you can meet ‘an animal’ and just know you’re meant to be lifelong friends with them. We definitely belong in the same pack!
Lexi Koehler
Groomswoman
Lexi is my niece and she lights up my world.
Alyson Butts
Junior Bridesmaid
Ashley’s niece, aka Baby Girl (or Alyson Marie whenever Andrea says she’s just like her aunts lol).
COL (Ret) Maurice Rochelle
Officiant
On my deployment to Egypt, I had the opportunity to meet COL Maurice Rochelle, a leader I will always admire.
