2 1/2 weeks to go! Time really does fly by! Eric and I thought we would introduce you to our wedding party. Some are long time friends/family and some new, but they have been by our side when we've needed it most and enjoyed many laughs, hopefully many more yet to come.
~The girls~ by AngieMaid of Honor: Jenna LoefflerJenna and I have been friends since the second grade. There have been so many slumber parties, getting ready for
Jr high & high school dances, and nights out on the town in college that we have some great memories to look back on. She's been like a sister to me. She is also getting married this summer and so we have been having a lot of fun planning our weddings together. She lives in Fullerton, NE.
Maid of Honor: Jenny ToweyJenny and I went to grade school together, but really started hanging out in high school. She too has been like a sister to me. Hanging out in the summers and going on some road trips, we have some awesome memories to
reminisce about. She will always be my wife (per a high school psychology class) :) She lives in Omaha, NE.
Bridesmaid: Michelle (Kolm) BarndsMichelle and I also went to grade school together. We really didn't hang out a lot till college when we became roommates. We were roommates in Lincoln for 3 years and we had a blast. She was the best roommate and friend! I'm so happy she can be apart of our wedding as she just had her first baby girl this past Thursday! She and her husband Matt lives in
Olathe, KS.
Bridesmaid: Becky HuppBecky and I were in the same business/accounting classes at
UNL. We made it through the many classes together, no matter how crazy the professor, and have been friends ever since. She lives in Denver, CO.
Bridesmaid: Lyndee (Krepcik) KochLyndee and I also met in a class at
UNL. We are so much alike, so we hit it off right away. We had so much fun just hanging out and going to the football games to watch her husband play. She and her husband, Brandon and little boy, Tristan live in
Gothenburg, NE.
Flower Girl: Addison ChapmanAddison is the daughter of Tony (Eric's cousin) and Kerry Chapman of Grand Island, NE. She is the big sister of Olivia and Ella and loves Hannah Montana. She is going to be so cute and we are excited to have her as one of our flower girls.
Flower Girl: Londyn ChapmanLondyn is the daughter of Tyler (Eric's cousin) and Latisha Chapman of Wichita, KS. She is enjoying her newly decorated "Minnie Mouse" room and loves been the big sister of Sydney. She is going to be adorable and we can't wait to have her as our other flower girl.
~The boys~ by EricBest man: Aaron AllgoodAaron's been my brother for as long as I can remember. Through every game of basement basektball, to round of golf, to, yes all those fights, there's no one else I'd rather have next to me on June 6. Aaron lives in Lincoln, and attends UNL.
Groomsman: Conrad SaltzgaberDon't worry about trying to pronounce his last name, I just call him "C." A hall mate in the dorms at Nebraska-Kearney freshman year, and later a roommate in the house, C and I have had some times, as the saying goes. The first to give me the nickname Spoon, Conrad lives with his wife Ashley in Lincoln.
Groomsman: Tyler ChapmanEasily the "Ty Webb" of the family (that's a Caddyshack reference, if you didn't know), Ty is my cousin. Forever linked to the day in the snow at York Country Club (Ty shot 35, I shot 49), we each qualified for the State Golf Tourney in 1998. (Instantly, Ty feels older, as if changing diapers didn't do that already!) Ty and Tish live in Wichita with their two girls, the afore mentioned Londyn, and Sydney.
Groomsman: Adam Wegner"Wags" was "C's" roommate freshman year, and then "keeper of the house." He and his folks were kind enough to give me a place to live my last two years of college. I also gotta give him props; it was him that let me sit in on his radio show for the college station, peaked my interest in radio, and here I am today! Adam still resides in "the house" (though a nice remodeling project is ongoing) in Kearney.
Groomsman: Tim GarmanThe mayor of Courtland (no, really he is!), Tim is quickly surpassing Aaron as the guy I've played the most golf with. Like any good freindship, I don't really remember why we started playing, we just did. Tim has also been a color man for basketball for just about every game I've done in Belleville, and has been a frequent "commenter" on both this and my sports blog. Tim lives with his wife Kerri in Courtland, KS.
Ring Bearer: Mason JohnsonCory (my cousin) and Leslie's oldest boy, Mason gets the honor of walking up with Addison and Londyn. He likes the movie "Cars," loves playing with older sister Taylor and younger brother Clayton, and was the recipent of a football thrown to him by Nebraska DB's coach Marvin Sanders at this years spring game! They live in Gretna, NE.
