HarLee & Luke

Saturday, September 14, 2024 • Hudsonville, MI
Seth Brower
Seth Brower - Best man
The man. The myth. The legend. Seth brought Luke and HarLee together. Seth and Luke became friends shortly after high school. Seth and HarLee have been friends since college. The rest is history. Luke and Seth are always causing mischief around Tanis. Mostly Luke breaking things to help keep Seth employed. Anywhere you find these two there is sure to be a Michelob ultra nearby.
Joseph Penny
Joseph Penny - Man of Honor
A lifetime of friendship that stemmed from our parents being friends. From high school heartbreaks to standing by each other’s side on their wedding day. Joey has always had HarLee’s back, while also being the devil on her shoulder. He kept her from getting into a fight with a cheerleader in high school and kept a smile on her face when nursing school continued to knock her down. He may have also been the reason for her first drunken encounter with the bathroom floor. Joey would always remind HarLee that no guy was ever good enough for her. When he finally approved of Luke, HarLee knew there was no turning back.
James Dirksen
James Dirksen - Groomsmen
Also known as Jimmy. What started as a boy dating the oldest sister soon became Luke’s partner in crime. If there is an abandoned building nearby, these two are sure to be there. They may even bring some souvenirs home. Fun fact about these two; they always overestimate their ability to handle spice. Chances are you’ll hear them complaining about their stomachs the next day.
Carla Dirksen
Carla Dirksen - Bridesmaid
They always say not to cry over spilt milk. HarLee’s first time meeting Carla she managed to spill half of her white claw on the cottage floor. Without hesitation, Carla grabbed a beach towel to quickly wipe it up so no one would notice. Soon these two became great friends. As for Luke, figuring out how to be a good big brother didn’t come so quickly. Carla was lucky to be part of Luke’s curious mind. She endured a bottle of nail polish remover being dumped on her head, pushing an art easel down the stairs, and so much more.
LexLee Altonen
LexLee Altonen - Bridesmaid
LexLee was always HarLee’s mini me. Anything HarLee did LexLee was sure to copy. So much so that they met each other’s now husbands at the same time. These two might live far apart, but the distance only makes their love for one another stronger. Through everything these two have always been the best of friends and each other’s strength when the other had nothing left to give.
Anthony Rahl
Anthony Rahl - Groomsman
Growing up him and HarLee were always inseparable. From playing call of duty black ops to practicing cheerleading moves. These two have always been one another’s number one fan. Funny story, Anthony was the first person to announce Luke as “HarLee’s new man” to the family. This was even before she was aware her and Luke would be a couple.
Melissa Rahl
Melissa Rahl - Bridesmaid
Growing up it’s no surprise that HarLee and her did not get along. From shooting an air soft bullet in the others eye to almost breaking the others nose hitting a softball. If there was someone injured, one of these two were probably involved. As they became adults they found a new love for one another, but some would argue that Melissa definitely loves Luke more. From the first time these two met Melissa and Luke were already causing chaos.
Alexa Ouwinga
Alexa Ouwinga - Bridesmaid
If friends at first sight was a thing, it’d be true for these two. Alexa and HarLee met in cosmetology school. Alexa was one of the very few that made HarLee not feel old and out of place. Alexa is the sweetest most kind person you’ll ever run into. Prime example of this was when HarLee asked Alexa to be a bridesmaid her first reaction was to ask HarLee if she’d still be able to do her hair for the big day. Of course I said yes. Our significant others soon learned to never ask questions about what trouble these two were getting into, mostly trying to find the jingle bell rock.
Mike Mastbergen - Groomsman
When Luke was in high school he started his job at Tanis Trucking. What started as just another job quickly turned into his first love. Over the years, Mike and Luke have become more than coworkers. These two are always keeping one another on the right track. You could even say they spend way more time together, or on the phone, than they do with their wives!
