I love beer, probably more than I should 🤦‍♀️. I am Amber’s cousin so I’ve known her all her life 😂 We always joke that god couldn’t handle us as sisters so he made us cousins. Never a dull moment with us.

Kaylynn Nowack
Kaylynn Nowack - Bridesmaid
Hi, I am Kaylyn. I am a loan coordinator at a mortgage company that helps veterans buy homes. In my free time you can catch me getting lost in a good book, binge watching Marvel movies and listening to true crime podcasts. I also enjoy singing Disney songs with my son, who happens to be Amber and Michael’s handsome nephew. After the first time I met Amber, I knew I wanted to be friends with her. I pretty much said we were going to be about 3 years ago, and she has been my go to/ ride or die since. I am lucky that Michael took so long to put a ring on it because I might not have gotten to be a part of their big day. I am so sorry excited for the both of them and I cannot wait to celebrate their love!

I enjoy venturing to new local places for a cold beer or iced coffee, watching horror movies and baking sweet treats. I’ve known Amber and Mike together for close to seven years! Amber and I first connected through work, but slowly our relationship grew as we realized we aligned on many of our goals and aspirations. Mike’s just the added bonus. I’m thankful to be part of their big day and so incredibly excited to see their life together unfold in the years to come. #PoochieGang

Hello! My name is Matt, and I work as a pipefitter. I am also a proud father of four boys. When I'm not working, I enjoy lifting weights, playing video games, and attending my boys' sports games. I met Mike many years ago when we were both on the JROTC Drill team with weapons back in high school. Through our shared experiences of early morning practices and weekend hangouts while travelling with the team, we became close friends. Since then, we try to hang out when we can, and if we can't, we make sure to catch up by playing games every so often. I am delighted to be a part of Mike and Amber's wedding, and I look forward to celebrating their special day with them.
Tristin Chernis
Tristin Chernis - Groomsmen
Heyo, My name is Trisin. I enjoy videogames and raising my daughter Amelia with my partner Ali. I was lucky enough to meet this wierdo named Michael as a fellow trainee around 6 years ago at Cerner. He was walking around with a 12-gallon water bottle and a vape the size of a backpack and I knew it was meant to be. When I drove home, and he was following me the entire time I thought “he either lives close or followed me 35 minutes here.” I asked and he said with a straight face “Oh, I didn’t notice you!” Regardless of the hows and whys I’m happy we got tow work together. As they have gotten to watch Amelia grow up. It has truly been an honor.

Jason Crow
Jason Crow - Groomsmen
Hello, I’m Jason Crow, software engineer working for Bentley Systems, which I’m sure you’re not familiar with unless you’re a bridge engineer 😉. I’m from Lee’s Summit, went to high school with Mike at Lee’s Summit West. We were basically acquaintances then; it wasn’t until after we graduated, in a rather ill-conceived side quest through a pyramid scheme known as Quixstar, that we became good friends. Don’t worry though, we found plenty of slightly less cringy activities to bond over, mostly gaming and lifting weights. There was even a time, believe it or not, when I was more buff than Mike, which these days is just hard to imagine. I’d had a lot of good memories with Mike over the years, Zerg rushes in Star Craft 2 is a fond one that comes to mind. Mike is a legend. I’m thankful for having him as a good friend all these years. I’m incredibly happy for him and Amber and very excited to witness them tie the knot. I wish them the very best, they certainly deserve it!"
