Hey, I'm Bridgette, Michayla's Maid of Honor. I am a sophomore at RCTC (Rochester Community and Technical College). I am majoring in Equestrian Science. I met Michayla on my first day of my sophomore year at Concordia Academy high school. She invited me to sit by her at lunch and we were instantly joined at the hip. Michayla seemed very interested in learning about me and my faith. She helped me become stronger in my faith. She instantly took me under her wing and showed me around school. We've been best friends ever since but feels like we have known each other forever. Michayla is like a sister to me and even though sisters fight alot, we've only ever had two fights and they didn't last for too long.
Nate Krause - Best Man
Hey I'm Nate, one of Jon's best friends and coincidentally, Jon's Best Man. Jon and I first met at a church function 8 years ago and the rest as they say is a blur. For 2 years Jon and I were roommates in college at North Central University. While we were best friends before college our love for Netflix and Taco Bell made us grow that much closer. In July 2015 I moved to California to pursue further education within the field of music at Fullerton College. After college I would love to either attend a 4-year university in California or travel abroad and study in London or Germany. You will find me circling the food table and rocking the blue suspenders and bluebow tie at the wedding.
Anna Krueger - Bridesmaid
Hello, I am Anna, one of Michayla's bridesmaids. I am a senior at Concordia Seward NE, studying Psychology and Behavioral Science. I will be graduating May 7th 2016. From there I am wanting to go into an accelerated nursing school. I met Michayla in high school and we hit it off while studying for psychology! She has the spunk and character that makes you smile and laugh until you can't feel your face. Her kindness and gentleness drew me into a friendship that I know will last a life time. Michayla encouraged me during a time in my life when I really needed a like-minded friend. Her faith in Christ and her confidence in Him radiated from her heart as it still does to this day. Whether we are studying for a test, going for coffee, shopping, or just chatting about life, I know that I can count on my beloved friend to encourage me and help me stand up for myself. Jon would be crazy not to marry her! I love you forever, Cookie!!!
Rick Sindt - Groomsman
Hello, I am Rick and Jon's older brother. I currently reside in Chicago, IL. Vocationally, I am a practicing studio artist, the Studio Coordinator at The Arts of Life--an arts collective for adults with disabilities, a Program Manager at Comfort Station--a multi-disciplinary art space in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago, and on staff with Pitchfork Music Festival. I spent most of my childhood sitting in the captain's chair of a conversion van to the right of Jon and will either be found sitting or standing somewhere to the right of Jon, during the wedding.
Anna Porch - Bridesmaid
Hey I am Anna, a bridesmaid of Michayla's. I am a junior at Covenant College in GA. I am double majoring in Biology (Pre-PT) and Psychology. I would love to get an internship in Miami or Chattanooga in the summer of 2016. I met Michayla, second semester of freshman year at Concordia Academy. We sat across from each other in computer class, and since we are both tall, you can bet our feet touched. I will tell you that they touched a lot and every time we would jump up and say "oh, sorry!" And THAT was the beginning of a long friendship! We both played basketball and when we started to get to know each other and she really helped me get accustomed with America. My family is a missionary family and I spent all of my life over in Africa. So the new culture was a shock so having a friendly face made the transition that much better. Much love!
Cory Berg - Groomsman
Hey everyone. I am Corwyn, but as cousins growing up Jon knew me best as Cory, which has stuck. We grew up together in our younger years when Jon's mom did daycare for my family. As we grew up, we also grew apart. But with our love of video games, we currently enjoy any time we have, to play Xbox together; whether in person or in different states. I am an Army Veteran of 7 years. Now, I am making my home in Tampa, Florida, working at a security firm.
