Matron of Honor: Macy Logan

Allison and Macy are cousins and life long best friends. These two have been sitting at the kids' table together at family events since 1996 and even lived together for a couple of years during college where they watched many hours of HGTV. We're very appreciative that Macy agreed to attend our wedding on her one-year wedding anniversary and can't wait to celebrate together for many years to come!

Maid of Honor: Natalie Noles

Allison and Natalie met at Kare Bear preschool when they were 2 years old and have been best friends ever since. From church events to cheering at ball games, these two were always together. So when Allison moved away to college, they scheduled regular coffee dates back home which they have continued even though they now live in different states.

Bridesmaid: Caroline Powers

Allison and Caroline met during their pharmacy residency in St. Louis as co-residents and coincidently found out they lived in the same apartment complex. As two southern girls new to St. Louis, they quickly hit it off and had many Cracker Barrel dates. Although Caroline moved all the way across the country after residency, Allison still talks her ear off on facetime at least once weekly - usually more.

Bridesmaid: Marlee Wicker

Allison and Marlee are sisters and honestly, couldn't be more opposite, but that's what keeps the family fun. While they may not talk all the time, they always find time to catch up when they're both home - usually at midnight (after Mom has told them to go to bed).

Bridesmaid: Tori Treece

Allison and Tori went to two different high schools in the county and knew of each other back then but became close friends in college where they studied for lots of chemistry and biology exams together and even ended up becoming roommates and sharing lots of fun college memories.

Bridesmaid: Courtney Darst

Courtney is Allison's soon to be sister-in-law, who she met only 2 weeks after Allison and Andrew went on their first date. Allison and Courtney share a love for shopping and organization and can't wait to be sisters for life. Andrew has already requested Courtney teaches Allison how to cook - we'll work on that.

Flower Girl: EllieMae Darst

EllieMae is Andrew's niece and even told Allison she loved her weeks before Andrew did. Allison and EllieMae have been inseparable since the first day they met. We may be biased, but she's going to be the cutest flower girl ever.

Best Man: Alan Darst

Alan is Andrew's older brother and best man. Andrew and Alan have been best friends almost since birth. They've shared countless memories growing up together - from snow football, to boating adventures, to memories at Mizzou. Alan owes Andrew big time as Andrew gets partial credit for introducing him to his wife Courtney - with whom he now shares two wonderful children EllieMae and Clayton - our Flower Girl and Ring Bearer.

Groomsman: Jarod Hahn

Jarod and Andrew first met playing trumpets (and goofing off) in the back of the classroom in 6th grade band class. In the years that followed, they would both quit band but continue their friendship - playing soccer together for several years in high school - and then visiting each other throughout college despite going to different universities a few hours apart.

Groomsman: Jeff Ingram

Jeff and Andrew met and became friends on the volleyball courts at Mizzou. Jeff was a graduate student geologist hailing from all over (Wisconsin, Colorado, Wyoming) who never ceased to entertain Andrew with his goofy stories and endless energy. Jeff and Andrew have stayed busy since Mizzou with volleyball, ski trips, hiking trips, and plenty of golf. If anyone needs a 65-page travel itinerary created - Jeff is your guy.

Groomsman: Jake Wascisin

Jake and Andrew went to the same elementary school, but really became friends after Jake beat Andrew in the 5th grade geography bee. They spent many afternoons/evenings playing pickup soccer in the neighborhood - and continued a variety of intramural sports throughout going to Mizzou together. Andrew always enjoys hanging around Jake, as there's never a dull moment and he's never met a stranger in his life.

Groomsman: Austin Darst

Austin is Andrew's younger, but much taller, brother. Andrew is proud of the fact that Austin followed in his footsteps in pursuing volleyball as a high school and college sport, and now coaches volleyball at the high school the Darst boys attended. Austin missed Andrew so much during college that upon graduation from Mizzou he moved in with Andrew for a few years to get some brotherly quality time.

Groomsman: Zach Rule

Zach and Andrew became friends on the volleyball court freshman year of high school. After playing together throughout high school, they spent lots of quality time together at Mizzou both on and off the volleyball court - and even coached together for a few seasons after Mizzou. Andrew and Zach also affectionately refer to each other as "brothers" - since Andrew's brother (Alan) and Zach's sister (Courtney) were introduced to each other by Zach & Andrew back in 2011 and were then married in 2013.

Ring Bearer: Clayton Darst

Clayton is Andrew's nephew and is sure to be an adorable ring bearer. Clayton's hobbies include laughing incessantly, running into just about everything, and eating everything in sight (especially desserts). Watch out for Clayton at the dessert table!

Usher: Jansen Darst

Jansen is Andrew's cousin from Portageville, Missouri. Jansen and Andrew grew up as best buds and always looked forward to seeing each other - and that has continued through college on various ski trips and such. Like Austin, Jansen missed Andrew so much he lived with Andrew a few years following his graduation from Mizzou.

Usher: Colin Dolan

Colin is Andrew's cousin from Lake St. Louis, Missouri. Colin and Andrew grew up running around the Darst Grandparents backyard and pool finding anything to be competitive at. While Colin has never lived with Andrew - he and his family do live just a few blocks from Andrew's home in historic St. Charles.
