Our Wedding

Please use the website link below to book your room as soon as possible so you get the contract rate and are placed in the group reservation. The hotel stay will default for the night of the 20th &amp; 21st, however, you can modify the dates to match your planned stay and still receive the group rate up any time from the 17th-24th. You can also book for only 1 night if you would like. Ammenities: There is a free shuttle service from Little Rock National Airport to the hotel. We recommend you contact the hotel early to make sure of the availability of the shuttle before you travel. Uber and Lyft services are also available from the airport, it is approximately 8 min and $10. I would recommend booking the Uber ahead of time since the service has become more limited due to Covid. If you decide to park a car, the reduced rate is $20 per night at the hotel. Each room will receive one voucher for breakfast for each night of your stay. For each additional person occupying the room the hotel will add a discounted $10 breakfast voucher. So a two person occupancy = $109 per night. Check in time is 4pm and checkout is 12pm. Guests will be allowed to check in early, as rooms become available. You can drop your bags off at the front desk if your room is not ready early. Renting a car for the wedding is not required! Once you arrive at the hotel, the church and reception are both within walking distance. We have also rented a trolley bus that will take guests to the church and the reception. Please see the main page for details on the trolley times &amp; pick up spots.

Registry

We have now registered at two places so Tim can stop getting yelled at by his friends and family. We do not expect any gift, as your presence is gift enough for us, but if you do want to look for something, please see the registry tab at the top of the website. Thank you!

Info & Travel

Our story starts at an Oktoberfest in Little Rock, Arkansas in September of 2018. Tim had just moved to Little Rock from Germany to start his next assignment at the 61st Airlift Squadron. It was his first weekend back in the States when he met up with his good friend Lance Peak at the festival. As they were getting ready to leave, a beautiful brunette walked right up to the both of them. It turns out Lance Peak was friends with a supermodel named Lindsey Blackwelder and had invited her to the Oktoberfest. Tim and Lindsey became friends and started to date shortly thereafter. Just two months later, at the beginning of 2019, Tim was deployed to Afghanistan for 4 months. Despite the challenges of time and distance, the two stayed together and after three years, two deployments, one pandemic, the rest is history.

Our Story

My older sister, and my best friend. She’s extremely organized, hardworking, and a natural caretaker. She has supported me through everything I’ve ever wanted to do, the person I always go to for advice, and who I look up to the most. 

Amy Ganey

My baby sister is one of the most resilient people I know. Tough as nails, but a big softy inside. She’s an amazing mother and sister, with so much patience for her children. I’m always so impressed with her drive and ambition.

Olivia Rector 

Katie and I have a special bond. Even though miles have separated us since high school, we still talk every single day. She’s smart, witty, and a wonderful mother. She’s an amazing friend and has always been my confidant and voice of reason.

Katie Wong

Isla and I met in high school and have had some great adventures throughout our friendship. We have been to California, all throughout the Caribbean, Denver, and South Africa. We have lived together and moved far away from each other, but our close friendship has always remained.

Isla Pauw

Pennie and I met shortly after high school. She is extremely blunt but always has your back! She’s a wild card and a true friend, and there is never a dull moment when Lauren is around.

Lauren Pennie

Its hard not to love Sarah. She’s an extremely genuine person and has been the biggest cheerleader since the beginning of Tim and I’s relationship. She’s someone I know I will be friends with for a long time to come.

Sarah Kelter

One of the most organized people I know. This girl is calm, cool, and collected. She has a creative spirit and is very talented in everything she does. We may not talk as often as we would like, but we have an easy friendship that has withstood time and distance.

Kaitlin Taylor

Lauryn and I’s friendship has always been so easy. We met working at the same restaurant and became fast friends. After we both left Florida years would pass before we were reunited in Denver. Despite the time away from one another, we picked back up as though no time had passed at all. She has always made an effort to stay in touch, which has meant so much to me as our lives have changed and grown.

Lauren Thorp

John is a phenomenal older brother and someone I have always looked up to. He has always tried to take care of me and the rest of my family. I am lucky to have him as a brother.

John Vedra

Dan is one of the smartest guys I have ever known. He has a big heart and has always succeeded at anything he has tried. I understand him more than most, probably because of the many battle royales we had growing up. I am lucky to have him as my brother.

Dan Vedra

Chris is far less successful and attractive than the rest of his friends but that has never stopped him from trying. Joking aside, Chris and I met in college and have been best friends ever since. He is one of the best men I know, and I am forever grateful for our friendship.

Chris Heiserman

Mark and I were in the same pilot training class and have flown C-130Js together in both Germany and Arkansas. More importantly, I am el Padrino (Godfather) to his oldest daughter. He is an amazing friend, father, and a man of God.

Mark Wilson

Chris and I have been friends since high school. He has always made it a point to make sure we can get together whenever I am in town since I moved after college, which means a lot. He is a guy I am still proud to call my friend.

Chris Maness

Erol is probably my craziest friend, but crazy loves company. He has been an extremely loyal and caring friend since we met in Little Rock in 2018. It has been awesome to make a such a great friend who I know will be a friend for a long time to come.

Erol Kelter

Joe is one of the nicest guys you will probably ever meet. We became friends in high school and have stayed friends all these years even as we have lived far apart.

Joe Schreiner

Scott is one of those guys who is really good at everything he does, no matter how difficult. Luckily, he has friends like Chris Heiserman and I to keep him humble by berating him. It seems to be working so far, because he is also one of the most humble guys I know. Booooooo Scott.
