Wedding Party

Our Party People

Brooklyn Mayerle (my bigger, younger sister)
Brooklyn Mayerle (my bigger, younger sister) - Maid of Honour
Janae's sistaaaa and biggest helper with the planning and setup of the wedding. She also decorated the whole proposal and helped plan it, so we wouldn't be here today without her. Not sure who will be better on the dance floor between her and Timmy...dance battle? (in all humility, we all know Nathan and I are the best dancers). She's also the most phenomenal singer but she's shy, so cheer her on to sing a number at our wedding pls.
Daelynn Larson
Daelynn Larson - Bridesmaid
Janae's cousin and built in best friend for liferrrs. The most legendary all nighters and sleepovers happened with this girl, but don't get any ideas in sharing that fun with her now--she's married, and fun fact: I was just her bridesmaid not even a year ago for her own wedding. "My My how the turn tables". LET THERE BE LIGHT, am I right?
Taryn Visser
Taryn Visser - Bridesmaid
Also Janae's cousin, born not even one month apart--so yes, we did spend our whole lives together. Always visiting each other from 8 hours away. Thankfully, we absolutely do not share the same taste in men and never have, despite liking a lot of the same things growing up so we're off the hook with this wedding (no objections needed).
Erin Gold
Erin Gold - Bridesmaid
Lifelong friend with Janae. We met at Living Waters Camp when we were very young (like 9 or 10), and the rest is history. Erin is one of the sweetest girls you'll ever meet, but she might blow you away if you ever stay with her in a tiny two-person tent...if you know what I mean (this was years ago, please don't be embarrassed Erin, love ya heaps).
Eva Portales (li'l frenchie fryyyy)
Eva Portales (li'l frenchie fryyyy) - Bridesmaid
Janae was Eva's staff member at YWAM in Sydney, Australia (so they had a similar adventure as me and Nathan). She is from South of France and she was there for the whooole Nathan and Janae story. Ask her how her name is pronounced because, despite being my bestest French fraaaand, I pronounced her name wrong for the first month of knowing her. chyuck chyuck chyuck
Tim Wilchowy (Lil Timmmy)
Tim Wilchowy (Lil Timmmy) - Best Man
Nathans oldest brother, and close companion. Through tears, fights, and countless underwear ripping wedgies... we've been through it all. With shared interest in hockey, golf, and twerking our relationship only got tighter. Be sure to watch out for this stud tearing up the d-floor.
Caleb Wilchowy
Caleb Wilchowy - Best Man
Nathan's second oldest brother, the man the myth the legend Caleb Wilchowy. Caleb will hit you with a dance move, bake you some sourdough, and show no mercy on Mario Kart... truly a package deal. There's not many people that will make swimming in ladies tights look so cool, but here's your guy. Watch out for this feisty animal as he is Nathan's co-best man.
Jon Rilling
Jon Rilling - Groomsman
Jonathan is my brother from another mother. He is a talented athlete, Godly man, and a dude who can pull off red tighty whities like no other. This man has traveled the world with me and someone I consider one of my closest friends. There is no Jonathan without Nathan!!
Chase Penner
Chase Penner - Groomsman
The peaches to my cobbler, Chase is our most eligible bachelor. From fishing to getting kicked out of sports game, this feisty man will wiggle his way into your heart. If you see him without a Tim's in his hands you know there's a problem. Chase will steal your heart on the dance floor and isn't afraid to recreate the famous dirty dancing dance move.
Matt Dirks
Matt Dirks - Groomsmen
In life it's said you shouldn't meet your heroes.... and in 2013 Matt Dirks met me. Matt Dirks has been chasing my tail since I met him. Over the years Matt has become a great friend to me, despite subbing me out in basketball games. All jokes aside, Matt is one of my closest companions and is not afraid to shred a dance move.
