Our Story

Photos

Elly and I met in college through our sorority (AOII). We were friends for the first couple of years of college, but we really started to develop a close relationship during our junior year when we lived together.  Elly has quite literally been there for me and for Andrew through the best & hardest times of my life. Elly means the absolute world to me and I am so honored to have her next to me on my wedding day.

Jack and I met back in 2016 during my freshmen year at MSU in our fraternity. He and I were then roommates for 3 years before Katelynn and I moved back to St. Louis. He is someone I can count on to always be there when I need something or looking to grab a beer.

Kayla is my oldest sister who has also made me an aunt! She has always been a listening ear for me and always gives me the advice that I need. Kayla is kind, driven, and beautiful. I love her so much!

Sam and I have been lifelong friends dating back to T-Ball. Sam and I have traveled many times with one another and ventured to Europe together after graduating HS in 2016. He and I continue to find ourselves together most weekends on the golf course.

Emily is my (not so) little sister. She and I definitely picked fights with each other growing up, but, that doesn't change how much I love and appreciate her. Looking back, every moment we spent together (driving to school every day, slushy runs, and movie nights) is so special to me.

Austin and I have been friends since T-Ball (you'll hear this a few more times), I can always count on him to be there to move furniture, work at the cabin and go on a float trip at the river with me at any time.

Alyssa is Andrew's sister and my soon-to-be sister-in-law! Alyssa is actually getting married in June of 2023, right before us. Andrew's family is having quite the year! Alyssa welcomed me into the family right away by making me feel included. She is a driven nurse, generous sister, and will make an amazing wife!

Aaron has been a friend since grade school, he and I became very good friends in high school and he continues to be my right-hand man with planning trips/game nights/etc in our friend group who may not be the best at planning.

Jenna is another one of my best friends that I met in college through my sorority (AOII). We lived in the house together which brought plenty of drama but also fun times. We became closer as junior/senior year approached and have remained best friends since then. I am so ecstatic to have a friend like Jenna in my life. She understands and listens to me, hypes me up when I need it, and also ALWAYS makes me laugh.

James lives in Colorado now, but he and I were in the same pledge class at MSU back in 2016 and have been friends ever since. Like Jack, he and I were roommates for a while. James and I travel together often and I never worry about what we will talk about when we see one another.

Melissa is my childhood best friend. We met alllll the way back in kindergarten. We went to Hope Lutheran together from kindergarten-8th grade, separating when going into High School. She has seen me through every stage of my life. My fondest memory with Melissa is going to Shawnee Mission park, bringing our hammocks and snacks, and spending hours catching up. It is so easy to pick up where we left off every time I see her and our relationship is very important to me.

Like many of my groomsmen, Rob has been in my life since grade school. He lives in Tampa, FL but we stay in touch often during the week playing video games. With Rob, there is no shortage of questionable sports takes and debates when he is around!

Lilah K is my niece (daughter of Kayla & Michael). She is spunky, sweet, and smart! I can't think of a more perfect flower girl!

Steve is Andrew’s uncle who will be officiating our wedding! He is a very special person in both of our lives and we are so excited to have him be apart of our wedding.
