River is the brother of the bride and has been her best friend since he was born. River brings creativity, laughter, and companionship of the best kind to Autumn's life. For conversation, I suggest turning towards your inner child and reflect on your favorite childhood cartoons!
Trenton Wilson Dean - Best Man
Trenton is one of the grooms first and longest friends from elementary school. Growing up they've shared similar interests often competing along side and against eachother through those interests. Trent has long served as a great motivation and best of friends to the groom.
Cameron Ray Kniffen-Frost - Matron of Honor
Cameron is Autumn's platonic life partner in this life. Known since they were 5 years old, Cameron never ceases to bring intellect, perspective, and whimsy in the bride's experiences. For conversation, make sure to ask Cameron for fun and thoughtful animal facts!
Brent McPherson - Best Man
Brent is the older brother of the groom. They grew up together with Brent being "older" enough to show the groom how to just barely not get into too much trouble. More seriously, growing up the groom always saw Brent as a role model and someone who's there when you don't even know you need him.
Mackenzie Ilene Khoury - Matron of Honor
As the bride's "person," and her other half of "the dynamic duo," Mac has also been around for a long while. For 23 years, Autumn doesn't know what she would have done without someone to teach her self defense, the possibility of crying with laughter, and just how far grit can take you. If you're brave enough to approach this matron of honor, she will gush about her pups and share how proud she is to be hunting dog mom.
Jerry Holloman - Groomsman
Jerry and the groom played soccer together in high-school. But they really became close the summer break after the grooms graduation and has been a constant ever since.
Katrina Bridgett Marshall - Maid of Honor
Katrina entered Autumn's life one day in their lonely 12th year on this planet when they both found themselves without a bus seat partner. The peanut butter to her Jelly, the bride is proud to have someone with a strong moral compass, a giant compassionate heart, and enough sass to charm the lot of us. If you're lucky enough to meet her acquaintance, she's a passionate cat mom and will talk about books until you politely make an excuse to go pee.
Kyle Lemanski - Groomsmen
Kyle has been a friend of the Groom since middleschool through soccer and band. They spent many summer breaks playing airsoft in the backyard and entertaining many of the grooms "bad" ideas.
Cara O'Brien - Bridesmaid
Cara is another oldie, but a goodie. Since 6th grade, Cara has been lighting up Autumn's life by showing her the true meaning of growth, how introspection is served best with a touch of humor, and how it's perfectly acceptable to spend hours of silence at a party playing chess and call it actual quality time. If you make eye contact with her soul, don't panic! Ask her what her favorite pokemon is, and she'll be so glad to hear all about yours.
Caleb Herbert - Groomsman
Caleb has been one the grooms close friends since elementary school. Living just a couple miles down the road, they grew up together spending summer nights playing video games and having fires.
Kera Stitt - Bridesmaid
Kera has actually known the bride the longest being her older cousin, and mother of the flower girls. Autumn remembers how fun baby sitting was with Kera in charge and is proud to have such a cool older cousin to look up too. Kera is charismatic, witty, and just lights up rooms with her smile. Kera is a busy mother of 5, and would enjoy nothing else but to talk about them... and maybe some other adult things too.
Owen Ross - Groomsman
Owen was on the FSAE team with the Groom through their college years and is one of four original CC Drivers. They became closer after the covid Saturdays of golf and sagebrush.
Laura Meisel (McPherson) - Bridesmaid
Laura entered Autumn's life about 4 years ago when they both fell in love with a McPherson man. Being a future sister-in-law of the bride, Laura has been an excellent confidant, motivator to take more positive perspectives, and fellow comrade in navigating integration into our in-laws wonderful family. Laura is probably one of the easiest people in the world to talk too, so if you just say hello she'll find a way to get conversation out of you no matter how awkward you are.
Adam Delbeke - Groomsman
Adam also was on the FSAE team with the Groom through their college years and is one of four original CC Drivers. They became closer after the covid Saturdays of golf and sagebrush.
Shannon Cook - Bridesmaid
Shannon is the sister of the groom, mother of the ring barer, and wife of groomsmen Alex, and has also been one of the biggest perks to this marriage. The bride has always wanted a sister and now she gets the pleasure of having a brilliant, beautiful, and hardworking person in her life. Shannon will accept small offerings of carrots upon approaching for discussion, and would love to hear about the latest shows you're binging.
Alex Cook - Groomsman
Brother in law to the groom. Always bring humor and fun to family gatherings. Fathering Logan, a potential ring bearer, as Gavins favorite nephew.
Shelby Ameye - Bridesmaid
Also an older cousin of the bride, Shelby has the honor of being Autumn's first friend. With only 3 weeks of life on this planet more than the bride, they practically grew up as perhaps more than just cousins and friends, but more like sisters. Shelby is a great role model for ambition, going with the flow, and getting the most out of life. Catch Shelby on the dance floor to get to know her more.
Sam Van Portfliet - Groomsman
Sam was also on the FSAE team with the Groom through their college years and is one of four original CC Drivers. They became closer after the covid Saturdays of golf and sagebrush.
Adalyn, Lennon, Heidi - Flower Girls
Adalyn, Lennon, and Heidi are the adorable sisters of each other, and daughters of the bridesmaid Kera. They're inquisitive, loving, and little beams of sunlight in the bride's life. Autumn is happy to call Heidi her goddaughter, and the whole gang such a charming and softening joy in her heart.
