Lizzy Carlson - Maid of Honor
Lizzy has been my best friend since we were one and has been a good friend of Otto's since high school. It is truly to Liz that we owe the credit for Otto and me getting together in the first place! Liz has been by my side my whole life, and most of my fondest memories include her. It has been an honor to have her in my life, and I can't think of anyone better to play this role on our special day.
Kjersten - Bridesmaid
Kjersten is my little sister, and a light in my life and the life of anyone who meets her. She has been one of my biggest blessings, and I will always be grateful to have her as my sister. Kjersten is funny, smart, talented, and just generally great. I couldn't imagine my wedding without her being a part of it.
Opal - Bridesmaid
Opal is Ottos baby sister, and I am so excidet to soon get to call her my little sister as well. Opal is an amazing young lady, who I genunally love spending time with. I am so excited to be able to have every one of my sisters be with Otto and I on our wedding day.
Ava - Bridesmaid
Ava is Lizzie’s little sister, and I’ve proudly claimed her as my bonus little sister. She’s a smart, sassy, and beautiful young woman, and I’m immensely proud of her. Tavi and Ava know each other from performing in the color guard together in high school, and I’ll never get over how incredible it is that the family I grew up with formed such genuine friendships with the family I’m about to join. I'm so excited to have Ava join Otto and I on our wedding day!
Tavi - Bridesmaid
Tavi is Otto's "little" sister, and a real goofball. My favorite part about Tavi is how she is so unapologetically herself. She is so smart, funny, kind and welcoming to the people around her. I admire Tavi for how deeply she loves everyone and everything around her, whether that be her friends, family or pets. No matter how goofy she sound when she says "I wuv you", I don't question that she means it. I am so excited to have Tavi as a sister in law, and it is going to be so much fun to have her as a bridesmaid.
Duncan - Groomsmen
I met Duncan my Freshman year of college at the climbing wall on campus. Duncan could make friends with a rock, and "rock" is a perfect description of my social ability... so of course we hit it off immediately. Our friendship has only grown since then. Audrey and I can always count on Duncan to provide us with the next unexpected and completely hairbrained scheme. It only makes sense for him to be a part of the beginning of this one.
Owen Payfer - Groomsmen
Audrey claims Owen because she's been friends with him longer, but Lizzy beat him in an arm wrestling contest for the maid of honor position.
Owen Heuschele - Groomsmen
Owen is my cousin and has been one of my best friends my entire life. Since we turned 16, we've grown even closer, and our relationship has often been compared to "Pinky and the Brain". We take turns being Pinky and Brain.
I'm stoked to have you there on our special day.
Jovian - Groomsmen
Jovian is my cousin, and I loved getting to grow up with him. He's spent the last few years in the Navy and I am very happy to have him back... even if it means I have to share my bedroom for a while. Jovian is a joy to have around and I am really looking forward to have him join Audrey and I at our wedding.
Mel - Ring Bearer
Mel is Lizzys little boy, and is going to be the most handsom ring bearer in the world. He'll be just over a year and a half old by July, and, after some discussion, he promised me he would learn to walk by then.
