Our Story

Details

Sister of the BrideAlthough it may be 'expected' that the bride picks her sister as her MOH, I would have picked Haley no matter what. Growing up, we would have probably both described each other as annoying. But looking back, I'd change that&nbsp;to best friend. Haley is hilarious, caring and an old soul at heart. She has been by my side through everything life has thrown our way and I can't wait her to be by my side when I&nbsp;marry the man of my dreams.

Haley Weidner

Friend of the GroomParker and Payton met in&nbsp;8th grade at youth group. Then Payton moved to Bureau Valley and they have been best friends ever since. In high school, they were known for being inseprable and many of Payton and Regan's first few "dates" included Parker. Parker is humble, caring,&nbsp;always fun to be around and is known for being kind of good at sports. Regan has also known Parker since kindergarten. We couldn't imagine getting married without Parker!

Parker Neuhalfen

Friend of the BrideJulia and I met our freshman year of high school and I&nbsp;have loved her ever since. We bonded during our long "bike/runs" when she would bike next to me on the canal while I&nbsp;did my long run. Julia is beautiful inside and out and is one of the sweetest gals you'll ever meet. She has been a part of mine and Payton's life since day one {literally} and I can't wait&nbsp;for her to be by my side on&nbsp;the&nbsp;day.&nbsp;

Julia Edlefson

Brother of the Groom&nbsp;Ben is Payton's little brother, which isn't hard to tell considering everyone mistake's them for each other. Ben is known for his impressions, his love for candy, sports, being the largest Shipp brother, and for being very kind-hearted. Payton and Ben had your typical brother relationship growing up&nbsp;which has since turned into a friendship.&nbsp;

Ben Shipp

Brother of the Groom

Kody is Payton's older brother. Kody enjoys working on his house, sports, and spending time with family. He is known for his determination/stubborness, sense of humor, his ability to eat an impressive amount of food,&nbsp;and willingness to drop anything to help his family. Kody is newly married to his wife, Baily. We look forward to many double dates for the years to come!

Friend of the BrideVal and I also met our freshman year of high school and our frienship really kicked of sophomore year. Some of my favorite memories with her include her basement, her mom's chex-mix, and Florida.&nbsp;Val is incredibly fun to be around, is always down to have a good time, and will&nbsp;always be there for you when you need her no matter what. I could not imagine getting married without this girl standing by my side.&nbsp;

Valerie Reuter

Friend of the Bride&nbsp;

Brianna and I&nbsp;met at our first semester at UWP in PD1. I remember exchanging numbers with her in Ullsvik and the rest is history. We spent countless nights talking non-stop&nbsp;for hours over dinner at Bridgeway and sometimes I&nbsp;swear we are the same person. Brianna is caring, hard working, and so fun to be around. I'm so excited to her her standing by my side on the big day!

Friend of the BrideIrini&nbsp;and I&nbsp;also met our freshman year of high school. Irini is literally one of the funniest and hard working people I&nbsp;know. Her energy is contagious and she will always keep you smiling & laughing. From camping in her back yard, attempting to snowmobile, head massages and now&nbsp;to the the big day. I can't wait to go through this experience with her by my side!

Irini Petros

Friend of the GroomAlex and Payton met freshman year of high school. Alex is known for his impressive knowledge of history, his love and knowledge of sports,&nbsp;his caring personality, and being the loudest one in the room. You can find Alex and Payton playing Fortnite together on a regular basis and if they aren't you expect that Alex will be calling or texting Payton asking him to play Fortnite. In all seriousness, Alex is a great friend and we can't wait to have him be a part of the big day!

Alex Johnson

Friend of the Groom&nbsp;Trevin and Payton met Payton's freshman year and became friends when Payton was introduced to the "Sexy Six". Trevin is smart, kind, determined, and hard working. Many of Payton and Regan's memories include the night's spent at his house playing games, hot-tubbing,&nbsp;and&nbsp;bonfires (with the cows). If you are with Payton and Trevin, you'll&nbsp;most likely be interrupting an intense conversation about something to do with agriculture. We are so excited Trevin is going to be a part of our day!

Trevin Kennedy

Friend/Future Sister-in-Law of the Bride

Baily is newly married&nbsp;to Payton's older brother, Kody, and we met the first time I went over to Payton's house. She has been a&nbsp;part of the Shipp family for 9 years. Baily is fun, quirky, always up for anything (even tracking a deer)&nbsp;and&nbsp;always well-prepared.&nbsp;Some of my favorite memories with Baily include straws, a wagon, and thunder coats. I'm so excited to have Baily by my side on the big day & for her to become my sister (in-law)!

Baily Beaber

Mya Shipp

Brother of the Bride

Devan and Regan had the typical brother/sister relationship growing. Regan thought Devan was mean and Devan (probably) though Regan was annoying. That is no longer the case.Devan and Payton also had the typical older brother/sister's boyfriend relationship. But, we are hoping he will be warmed up to Payton by the&nbsp;time the wedding rolls around (kidding!).&nbsp; Devan is known for being&nbsp;fun, free-spirited,&nbsp;hard working and for also never showing up to events. Devan has also been serving in the National Guard since he was 17.&nbsp;

***Devan will no longer be in attendance at the wedding as he will be ourseas serving our country. We will be thinking and praying for you Devan!&nbsp;

Devan Maertens

Brother of the BrideGrowing up, Colten was the nice brother and (unlike Devan) he has always been very welcoming to Payton. Colten is known for being riduculously smart, creative, artistic, caring, and for taking the penny off of the rock. Colten has a bachelor's degree in Molecular and Cellular Biolgy AND a master's degree in Theology. Currently, he is a teacher and lives in Chicago with his awesome wife, Andie.&nbsp;

Colten Maertens
