Bridal Party Descriptions by Hannah
Groom’s Party Descriptions by Ben
Sam Crippen - Best Man
Sam and I met in college when we found our mutual love of watching soccer games instead of paying attention to lectures. We’ve made a ton of memories going on trips, playing soccer and board games, and questioning life’s important questions like: is there a single food that lime doesn’t improve? I can't imagine how much different my life would be had we never met, and I'm really glad I don't have to.
Heidi Engleman - Matron of Honor
My sweet, sweet sister! Heidi is so deeply thoughtful and observant. In Kindergarten, she chose needlework over number counting daily so she could sit by the teachers and keep an ear out for the 🚨HOT GOSS🚨! Her organizational skills are also unmatched, perfect for party planning. Who better to have as a MOH?? She is my rock, my best friend, and my informant on all things TEA🍵😉!
Caleb Howard - Best Man
I met Caleb through Sam after joining their soccer team. We didn't really get to know each other until a few years later when I found out just how much Caleb and I have in common. We both love soccer, golf, and board games and play them all together (even though he usually wins). Caleb is an extremely passionate and caring person, and I'm so glad I get to call him a friend and best man.
Emma Moran - Maid of Honor
An independent, world traveled queen!! This is my bestie since grade school y’all, and for good reason! This woman is steadfast in her beliefs and powerful beyond imagination! From fairy queens🧚♀️ flying to a magic kingdom on the swing set, to holding hair back in a frat house lawn🫢, this girlie has seen me through it all! I’m excited for you all to meet this party’s party animal 🐆💃
Hugo Van't Veer - Groomsman
Hugo and I met in college while trying to exploit the experiments in econ class and struggling to understand what Vlookup means. We've gone on lots of trips, watched lots of soccer games, and sliced hundreds of golf balls into the woods together. Hugo is one of the kindest people I've ever met and I wouldn't be where I am today without his friendship.
Ally Wall - Bridesmaid
This groovy lady is so cool, I had a friend crush on her throughout college 🤭. Though it took until our senior year for us to start hanging out, we became fast friends. This woman is so intentional, so authentic and an absolute ball!! She’s wonderful company, full of great conversation, and got some serious 🪩boogie🪩 in her, you won’t get enough of her at the wedding!
Logan Williams - Groomsman
Logan is my older brother. He taught me a lot of important things growing up, like the value of hard work, standing up for what you believe in, how to sneak into the basement to play Xbox (and how to get caught doing it), and that you can buy as many Hi-chews as you want on amazon. I'm proud to have him as a brother and role model.
Lexi Weekly - Bridesmaid
Oh Lexi girl! What a wonderful friend! She is sweet as pie, totally laid back, and super chill🧊…. until you really get to know her. Her sass and her fire🔥 had us all biting back laughter during nursing school lectures. She stands up for what she believes in and does not waver. While she provided me plenty of comedic relief during college, she also provided much needed support. Another person you will be so genuinely delighted to meet.
Devon Williams - Groomsman
Devon is my little brother and one of the kindest, smartest people I know. He can recite the entire Harry Potter movie franchise word for word, is extremely confident, and is so dedicated to being the best at the things he does. He might be younger than me, but I've learned more from him than he will ever learn from me.
Andi Bethard - Bridesmaid
Ah Andi! This is Lexi’s girl y’all, and boy, if they aren’t complete opposites. If Lexi’s an avocado 🥑, Andi’s a coconut🥥. When I first met Andi, I was nervous to even make eye contact, she seemed so intimidating. But now I’ve had the treat of getting know her gentle caring side, and discover that she is often the voice of reason between the two. If her beauty and ✨mild✨ rbf, don’t scare ya off, go congratulate these lovely ladies, they’re getting hitched right after us!!!! 🥳👰♀️
Asher Ginnodo - Groomsman
I met Asher through Hannah's bridesmaid Ally, and got to know him when they took us camping in Idaho last year. Asher is a passionate person who loves the outdoors, builds things, and makes amazing drinks. He is kind, funny, and a great person to be around. I haven't known Asher for long, but I know he is a person that I want to be in my life for a long time.
Natalie Stephenson - Bridesmaid
Nat is a gem! 💎 She came into our lives more recently when Ben’s brother, Logan, found a girl worth bringing home to mom. And bringing her around is my favorite thing he’s done, by far. She is uplifting, intelligent, kind, and can absolutely throw down on the dance floor! Lace up your shoes and order an espresso martini; you’re gonna need it to keep up with this beauty queen 👑
Lindsey Heslop - Officiant
Knowing Lindsey is delightful! She served as our youth pastor in high school and my personal small group leader. Her husband, Cole, lead Ben’s small group and performed his baptism. The two of them have been wonderful role models for us as individuals, and as a young couple navigating life. Lindsey now serves as a pastor in a church she founded and is admirable as ever. She always has been an amazing role model, and we are honored to have her as our officiant.🤍💕
Maya Yuhas - Flower Girl
Miss Maya! My (not so baby) baby cousin! This fairy princess is so full of life and imagination, she is a hoot to be around! 🧚♀️✨ She is super outgoing and will play with anyone willing to act the part of “big sister fairy” in her game. She also is a wonderful older sister to her little brother Lincoln. This lovely little lady is going to rock at her role as flower girl!! 🌸🌼💐
Flynn Miller - Ring Bearer
Flynn is Ben's youngest cousin. He is extremely sweet and smart, and we're excited to have him be a part of our wedding.
Arlo Darlo - Good Boy
We rescued Arlo last year and he is the goodest boy ever! (Except for when he’s not). He’s a mama’s boy who loves snuggles, stuffies, play dates, and snacks. Through a lot of hard work and impulse control, he has earned himself a wedding invitation. He will be thrilled to meet everyone and will soak up all of the attention and pets. Note: please do not feed the wildlife 🚯
