Katelynn Gerdes
Katelynn Gerdes - Bride
Katelynn is as genuine as a person can get. No matter what kind of environment she is in, she is always herself. Katelynn is the kindest, sweetest, caring, and the most relatable person there is. She and her soon to be husband thrive in the football community. Nebraska Football runs deep in their relationship, as well as Katelynn's favorite NFL team being the Chiefs and Conner's the Broncos set a foundation for this relationship. Some of Katelynn's hobbies are hanging out with Conner, painting/drawing, reading, and of course indulging herself into football on the weekends. Katelynn has a competitive spark and Conner matches the same energy, which brings a new meaning to an authentic relationship. All in all, this relationship is so full of respect, care, healthy communication, and so much love to give one another. These two are such a perfect fit for each other and each others lives. These two are very happy and excited for their future together.
Reagan O'Connor
Reagan O'Connor - Best Man
Reagan and Conner first met in their freshman year of high school and weren't quite fond of each other to say the least. Later on in their high school days Reagan just needed someone to talk to and listen to him and Conner answered the phone and was there for him. Every day since that day Reagan and Conner have been nothing short of brothers. Reagan and Conner have grown so much together in their own and ways and there is still a great journey these two wait in their own paths. Reagan has already introduced a beautiful baby girl, Aria Kay into the world and is doing big career changes in his life. And these two always back one another up no matter what, and it'll be that way forever. PS: You'll be out for the count if you "try" to keep up with Reagan tonight.
Madison Gerdes
Madison Gerdes - Maid of Honor
Maddi is Katelynn's first best friend. Conveniently born just weeks after the bride, these cousins grew up attached at the hip just a couple miles down from one another. The pair walked side by side helping each other deal with their crazy siblings, their crazy plethora of high school activities, their crazy college roommates, and now this crazy life. From creating cheesy dances or cheer routines, to now helping each other plan their futures and Katelynn's wedding, these two together are unstoppable.
Easton Nelson
Easton Nelson - Groomsman
Easton and Conner roughly first met in the seventh grade playing on the middle school basketball team together. Which to them feels like yesterday but also ages ago at the same time. Even though this brotherhood is unbreakable, these two have faced a little adversity. Through the rough storm these two came out stronger and closer than ever. Easton and Conner have basically done it all in their friendship. Ranging from playing sports together, to yelling at the tv and headset playing Call of Duty, and to all the way to finding the right persons that fit in their lives perfectly. Easton and Conner no matter what always have each other's back and that means the world to them. These brother's love and respect for each other is something great and it's gonna be that way for years and years to come. Easton and Conner's journey might be different but they still have great ambitions to make their lives great and fulfilling. No matter what the journey in either of their paths, these two still find time to be closer than ever.
Alexis Gerdes
Alexis Gerdes - Bridesmaid
Katelynn's little sister, her Irish twin, her arch nemesis, Alexis, Lexi, Louie, Lucifer. Lexi is one with many titles/names. The only thing that does not change is the sisterly bond and the love they have for one another (even if giving each other affection was used to punish each other for fighting ). Lexi loves her cat and rat more than life itself and enjoys taking them on car rides/ walks. The key to conversation with Lexi is simple: music or her pets.
Brielle Bussinger
Brielle Bussinger - Bridesmaid
Brielle is a fun loving, travel junkie, sports fanatic, and the true definition of a busy body. When she isn’t being a full time student or college athlete, Brielle is hard at work. Any chance she gets, Brielle is soaking up the sun, and is guaranteed to bring the fun along with her. This sweetheart has a special place in her heart reserved for her family, especially her cousins, where she proudly holds the title “youngest of the many Gerdes girls” while sporting her dad’s last name.
Luke Audette
Luke Audette - Groomsman
Luke and Conner have a very special kind of bond and friendship. These two brothers met each other way back when they were kids in Conner's grandmother's daycare. They found each other then and never looked back. At such a young age these two went from teaching each other to ride a bike to going to Chuck-E-Cheese together. They once lost contact when Luke had to move away from Nebraska but their mothers found each other on Facebook and these two rekindled and now these two have one of the best bonds of brotherhood. With Luke working away and also plays hockey and Conner in the military they still make time to talk and occasionally hang out. These two are a great pair of brothers going from past, present, and future and these two are bound to do great things in their own lives and together.
