Wedding Party
As you read these it'll be pretty obvious that Carrie wrote little diddies about the girls, and Drew wrote the ones for the boys - not sure why we're even pointing that out.
Robyn Riedel
Maid of Honor
Robyn and I have been best friends since 6th grade - and what a crucial time in my life that was! We met at Liberty-Benton Junior High shortly after my first big move from small town Buda, Illinois to the big city of Findlay, Ohio (haha). The Jr. High years are such an important time in a girls life and I couldn't have asked for a better friend to share that with. It sill amazes me that we've kept in touch through my move to Indiana after 8th grade and her move across the country to California after graduating High School. Even though we won't get to do a lot of the traditional Bride/Maid of Honor things, I couldn't imagine anyone else standing next to me on my big day (other than the groom of course).
Erik LaRoe
Best Man
Not given the title "the best man" for nothing. Erik and I have been great friends for several years now. He has spent his college years at Purdue but have always remained close. Throughout the years we have endured many adventures which could make his speech very interesting. . . We will see.
Laura Pratt
Bridesmaid
The first stage in my life would have been so boring with out my little cousin Laura Lou Elizabeth! Laura and I spent so much time together when we were little and have so many hilarious memories together. She has grown into such a beautiful girl with a great heart and I'm so proud to call her my cousin!
Danielle Bowman
Bridesmaid
Danielle and I lived together for three years while at Huntington University and anyone who's ever lived with her will tell you that she is the best roomie ever! We saw each other at our best and we saw each other at our worst but we managed to have a pretty darn good time throughout it all.
Lauren Schrodi
Bridesmaid
Lauren and I met through our significant others. Actually, we went to High School together for one semester but that's another story for another day. This girl is a ton of fun and I wouldn't survive a night in the woods without her helpful advice. :) I have a feeling that when Drew and I are old and wrinkley her and Erik will be sitting right next to us - maybe we'll even be playing a game of Dominoes!
Cassi McKinney
Bridesmaid
Cassi is Drew's sister - and soon she'll be my sister too!! Brothers are great, especially mine, but I think at some point in every girls life she wishes she had a sister. Lucky for me, I'm getting one, and two precious nieces along with her!
John Patrick Felts
Groomsmen
John and I became friends in high school mainly because we were involved in several activities togehter and we were locker buddies which led to random talks seven times a day. Since then we have remained best friends and we also play in a band together, where he is best known for keepin the rhythm.
Peter Matthew Till
Groomsmen
Pete is not only there for a good laugh but has always been there for me when needed. We receive a lot of weird looks when we are together but we have come to terms with that. Carrie and I are proud to have him in our wedding.
Michael Overmyer
Groomsmen
We have had some great times together, we even had to spend the night in his jeep stuck in the mud when we could not get anyone to pull us out (I told him not to try and drive through that specific mud hole). We always have and always will be there pushing the limits with one of the nicest guys I know.
Isaac Horwedel
Groomsmen
Isaac will soon be my brother in law and I could not be more excited about it. He is a great person so I plan to take out a pen and paper because I can learn a lot from this man.
