Little did we know, our wedding party was established on a random, rainy Sunday in April of 2023. We met for a pretty standard Sunday run (ie we all wanted to run "easy" and no one could agree on the pace or distance). What happened next was silly and playful and anything but a standard issue run - risks were taken, pastries were eaten, and a little tough love was doled out along the way. We hope to carry this spirit of openminded playfulness into our marriage and friendships for the rest of our lives; and so, we think this squad is the perfect crew to help us keep this sentiment front and center on our wedding day.
Charlie Card-Childers - Flower Boy
He's handsome. He has great hair. He is captivated by creatures of the sea. He really loves his sister and that's all you need to know!
Annie Magnusson - Bridal Emotional Support
Annie has more experience with weddings than any of us. She attended approximately 26 bachelorette parties in Scottsdale last year. She helps Olivia keep her bridal cynicism in check and even gave up her Taylor Swift tickets to be here with us. Wow we feel so supported already!
Sally - Illegitimate Daughter of the Bride
This is Sally. She’s been looking for a dad for the last 11 years. She’s very excited for Noah’s official adoption of her. That is what we’re celebrating this weekend right?
Mike Wodtke - Attendant to Sally
This guy really loves dogs, bagels, cookies and Taylor Swift. Fun Fact: Mike also skipped the Taylor Swift concert to fulfill his duties in our wedding. We are so grateful.
Harrie, Steve, and Beast Beast - In Absentia
Regrettably, our other three children are unable to attend. They offer no excuses or apologies just a request that someone please keep the food bowl full while we are distracted over the weekend.
