Cousin of the Bride. Growing up Shalaine and I always had fun playing dress-up with our Mom's old bridesmaids gowns! We were always close as our families would hike, camp, and go on trips together. One of my favorite memories is when Shalaine, Kaitlin, and I would all share the sleeper couch on Disney trips.

Lucy - Flower Girl
Bride's "Sister". As I have no human siblings I have always been extra close with our family dogs. My parents adopted Lucy when she was 3 months old. Now she is 11, but is still always up for an adventure and snacks! If you see her at the wedding she might give you "puppy eyes" to get an extra treat! As she has a big job, she can have some extra snacks! :)
Cali - Ring Bearer
Bride and Groom's fur baby. Cali is our 5 year old, Shepherd Blue Heeler Mix who has wild hair days just like her Mom. Cali keeps us active and likes to wake us up as soon as the sun is up! Cali provides us so much joy and makes us smile every day. If you see her at the wedding, just know she may try to steal a kiss or two!
Ted Pechacek - Officiant
Uncle of the Bride.
Growing up Uncle Ted was always a lot of fun and now we enjoy playing golf together. He played the violin at my parent's wedding back in 1991. I then played the piano at his wedding in 2012. Now, Peter and I are so honored to be having him as our officiant for our wedding!
