Our Story

It’s no surprise that my little sister is standing by my side as one of my Maids of Honor. My sisters have been my built-in best friends since day one, always bringing laughter, love, and a little bit of sass into my life. She knows me better than anyone, and I couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her cheering me on. She’s not just my sister... she’s my confidant, my partner-in-crime, and now, my Maid of Honor.

Some bonds are immediate and unbreakable. For Jordan and me, that bond was forged from the moment we were born just three weeks apart. Growing up more like brothers than cousins,  we have shared countless adventures, mischief (mostly legal), and milestones. Jordan has been a constant positive force in my life from day (twenty) one, which makes him one of the only people who could ever fill the role of best man.

Jordan Renner

The baby sister of the family, but don’t be fooled... she’s got the biggest personality of us all. She’s sassy, hilarious, and never afraid to keep things real. More importantly, she’s my biggest cheerleader and hype woman, always reminding me to have fun and soak in the moment. With her by my side, I know there will be nonstop laughs, dancing, and a whole lot of positive energy.

Before we even met Allen, it seemed like everyone in Jared's military unit was already telling him, “You’ve got to meet this sergeant Kruckel guy.” Sure enough, once they finally connected on the volleyball court, Allen lived up to the hype. We immediately loved he had a fiery competitive spirit, patience as a friend, and an extraordinary taste in anime, and he’s been a standout presence ever since. We are excited to have Allen be the voice of our wedding!

Allen Kruckel

Growing up as neighbors, Haley and I shared countless memories like scooter rides, sleepovers, and all the little moments that turned into a lifelong friendship. She’s more than a best friend; she’s family. Having her stand with me as Maid of Honor feels so natural, because she’s been part of every chapter of my life leading up to this one.

Haley Daniels

Myself and Will have been friends since my early days as a young Airman, first connecting on the basketball court. Will has a great heart with a constant smile and a knack for bringing people together. He is truly a friend I can always count on and I am blessed to have him here.

Priscilla and I grew up together. Since middle school we have been there for each others greatest days and held each others hands on the worst. She is someone I admire and love like a sister. Could not go through this next chapter in my life without her there turning the pages.

Naweed and I first crossed paths in Maryland during our early 20s.. a time filled with late nights, loud laughs, and even louder grunts at the gym. Between lifting sessions, gaming marathons, and twilight Wawa runs, we've been through a lot of life. Naweed is an explorer to the max who gives 110% to his circle and I'm excited to have him by my side.

Naweed Hashimi

Where do I start? Alex and I became instant friends at 3 in the morning the only two crazy people at our apartment gym. We spend our young adult lives at Cold Storage the best way we could. She taught me how to live life with less regret adding so much fun and the best memories. Now as we have stepped into our more mature adult years I am loving these adventures even more. Although we are not a hallway away anymore, when we do get together I feel like time hasn't passed at all. I am so excited to have her be there on our special day. 

Alex Judge

Steven is the kind of friend who lifts his people up and has since we met (for the second time) in 2019. We bond over being very progress-focused individuals, gaming, and hoops. Whether it’s offering solid advice, helping with whatever needs doing, or turning a normal night into something memorable, he’s been a reliable part of the crew for years. I'm grateful to have Steven standing beside me on the big day.

Cendy and I grew up together. She is my older cousin also the mother of Isabel, my goddaughter. I remember meeting her for the first time when we picked them up from the airport, and that day became the day that bonded us forever. She took great care of us cousins as she was an oldest leading the way in a world we knew so little about. I am so thankful to have had the chance to have her in my life and I am honored to have her as a bridesmaid.

I met Andrew over 11 years ago while studying Farsi at the Defense Language Institute. From long study sessions and listening to "What is Love?" over and over to having military assignments on opposite sides of the country, we've kept our friendship strong. Andrew’s supportiveness has made him a constant presence through every chapter since.

Andrew Grace

Yani is bold, brave, and always ready to have a good time. We grew close after I met my fiancé, and now I can’t imagine life without her friendship. She understands firsthand the challenges, and the strength, it takes to be part of military life. Our hour long phone calls and daily videos and messages shared on social media keeps me going. Through it all, she’s been nothing but supportive, fun, and inspiring, and I feel so lucky to have her standing with me on this day.

Yani Torres

Jay and I crossed paths in a sauna, and after one perfectly timed unsolicited Pokémon reference, I was convinced we'd be friends. While I nearly passed out from dehydration that day, it was worth it... because I crawled out with Jay as a friend for life. Jay’s quick wit and easygoing nature make him someone I'm lucky to have by my side.

Jay Williams

Amy and I have become close friends (soon to be family) from the time I started dating Jared. In the past couple years I not only gained a significant other but also a whole family that loves so deeply. Amy has been the ultimate party starter, hype woman, and greatest friend a girl could ever ask for. Yes, I cant wait to spend my life with Jared my future husband, but I am almost more excited about gaining a sister/cousin like Amy. So happy to have her by my side on our special day.

Amy Renner

Tyler is my brother, while we've had our fair share of ups and downs growing up, our bond has only grown stronger over the years. He has been there for me, from teaching me how to ride a bike to traveling abroad with me to our family's homeland in Austria. I'm proud to call him my brother, and even more proud to have him standing as a groomsman on such an important day.

Tyler Novack

James is my cousin. Growing up together, we found endless ways to keep ourselves entertained: swimming, movies, volleyball, and pretty much anything that promised fun (and sometimes trouble!). From childhood to adulthood James has been there for me through all my phases in life. He has taught me to have a thicker skin, and shared so many adventures along the way. I know if I needed him he would hop on a plane and be there in a heart beat. I can't wait to have him by my side when I say "I do".

James Ayala

I met Tyler playing kickball in D.C., as an adult, and what started as a casual league turned into a great friendship. Tyler brings the same A1 energy and humor to life that he does to the field, and was an easy choice to stand by me on the big day.

Wedding Party

Q + A

We are excited to share that our preferred hotel for wedding guests is Origin Kansas City Riverfront. Not only is it a stylish and comfortable place to stay, but the area also holds a special meaning for Beca, the bride, as she spent her single "dog mom" life here, making it the perfect spot to gather our closest friends and family. Convenience is another reason we chose Origin. The hotel sits right between the airport and our wedding venue, making travel stress-free whether you’re just arriving in town or heading to celebrate with us. Its riverfront location also offers a unique Kansas City experience, blending modern amenities with easy access to our city’s vibrant culture, dining, and entertainment. By staying here, you’ll not only be close to everything you need but will also be part of the heart of our wedding weekend. We can’t wait to celebrate with you at this special place!

For you who prefer to be right in the heart of Kansas City, Hotel Phillips is a wonderful option. This historic boutique hotel combines classic charm with modern comfort, making it a memorable stay while keeping you close to the city’s downtown energy and nightlife. Hotel Phillips is located even closer to our wedding venue, so it’s perfect for those who want to minimize travel on the big day. Beyond convenience, you’ll also enjoy being steps away from some of Kansas City’s best dining, nightlife, and cultural attractions, which is great if you’d like to make a weekend of it.

If you’d like to stay as close as possible to the celebration, AC Hotel Kansas City Plaza is the perfect choice.
