Graham Wiese - Best Man
Graham cracker. Drew and Graham met 15 years ago during their freshman year of high school after Drew admired his Jim Halpert-esque hair from afar. Actually that's not true. Oddly enough, they had swim lessons together when they were four and reconnected years later. The ultimate wingman - Graham was there the night he met Kelsi and has been there ever since. Lover of 80s music and baking, you'll never meet a better dude.
Cassidy Cunningham - Matron of Honor
Our friendship blossomed over eating take out Chinese and watching My 600 Lb. Life. Quite the oxymoron. Sweet tea connoisseur. Lives in the same state as scorpions so obviously a little crazy.
Keith Himebaugh - Groomsman
Drew's oldest homie. Drew and Keith's friendship began all the way back in first grade. The two created their own holiday "National Lax Bro Day" when they were 16 and spent way too many hours listening to bad rap music carpooling together to and from their many hangouts.
Mel Derocher - Maid of Honor
Fellow nurse. Fellow Riley lover. Makes a good breakfast pizza. Only likes gross, sweet wine.
Alyssa Kurth - Bridesmaid
Big beer gal. Layla's most loyal customer. Makes a mean batch of guacamole. I am convinced she never sleeps. Drew and I were with Alyssa and her boyfriend when the blues won the Stanley cup so I mean, you’re welcome. Obvious good luck charms.
Brett Gallagher - Groomsman
OMG. Old Man Gallagher. Brett and Drew met during freshman football and between that and Joan Hereford's Honors Physical Science class, they became instant BFFs. Lover of "Always Sunny" and OG hater of Drew's emo music.
Jess Pikul - Bridesmaid
You will never meet anyone more kind. I dare you to try. Her baseline text is "I'm running late!" Hates parabens & sulfates.
Alex Bullard - Groomsman
Bullard? Geoff? Alex? He's a man of many names and one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet. Drew's personal music and restaurant hype man. I had to say something nice about him at the risk of a negative Yelp review of our wedding.
Kenny Champion - Groomsman
By far the coolest name of any of Drew's friends. A former coworker of Drew's at the infamous SLU Ride transportation service where Selena Gomez once waved to them and they will chase that same high forever. Kenny's perfect night consists of a Chili's triple dipper followed by thrashing innocent souls in Mario Party.
Marissa Hopkins - Bridesmaid
Kelsi's emo friend. Marissa introduced herself freshman year of HS by pointing to Kelsi's Walmart backpack and saying "I have the same one!" Also asked Kelsi to be her BFF by drawing a picture that said "Best friends? Chyeah!" & never will she live that down.
John Korducki - Groomsman
Drew's roommate for two years (basically three) during college until he went off to medical school. Shaka Smart heckler. Gulf Shores Pink Pony fanatic. Their beds were close enough to each other that they could have held hands. They didn't. But they could have.
Danielle Cooper - Bridesmaid
A proud Slytherin. Kelsi & Danielle won 2nd place w/ a double headed sweater in an Ugly Christmas Sweater contest at Ballpark Village and that will forever remain on their resumes. Hates all good food (i.e. sushi).
Kory Noeth - Groomsman
Brother of the bride. Always good for a solid meme to wake up to the morning after a night shift. Luckily I passed his background check and he's allowing me to marry his sister.
Jordan Noeth - Bridesmaid
Kelsi's sister-in-law. Historian of The Office. Had two children for the sole purpose of ensuring Kelsi and Drew had a ring bearer and a flower girl.
Claire Heinlein - Bridesmaid
Kelsi's future sister-in-law. Avid Tito's drinker. Future ear doctor. Only watches Food Network.
Henry Noeth - Ring Bearer
Brandy Moerschell - Bridesmaid
Straight up quirky. Star Wars fiend. Kelsi & Brandy got separated during class in college for being troublemakers.
Railynn Noeth - Flower Girl
Ruthie Heinlein - Best Puppy
