Lydia Rex, Matron of Honor
Lydia is the older sister of the bride. Hannah and Lydia are only two years apart in age and were inseparable throughout their growing up years. They pretty much lived in dress-up clothes and played make-believe together until their teen years (and we still both have our American Girl dolls. Shhh.) Hannah has always looked up to Lydia as an example of awesomeness and godliness, and as a source of support and good big sisterly advice.
Faith Neumann, Maid of Honor
Faith is Hannah's baby sister. Even though there is a 13 year age difference between the two of them, Faith is one of Hannah's closest friends and confidants, and her biggest fan! Faith is the sweetest, most helpful and caring little girl you'll ever meet, and enjoys hanging out with Hannah's "grown up" friends. Hannah and Faith love baking, going on adventures, and creating art together.
Brooke Boriack, Bridesmaid
Brooke is Hannah's oldest friend. Er... not in age, in years that the two have known each other. Hannah and Brooke both went through their tomboy phases together, and spent hours together as kids building forts in the woods and playing spies. Now, they bond over their mutual loves: tea, good books, historical figures, travel, and adventure. Brooke is insanely smart and her wise, logical mind is the perfect balance to Hannah's very sanguine one.
Marissa Watkins, Bridesmaid
Marissa (Missy) and Hannah should have their own TV show. Adventurous and mischievous, these two can nearly always be counted on to do something outrageous/slightly dangerous/silly when they are paired together. Missy and Hannah spent 6 months as roommates while in a missions training program in Texas. During this time, they created many...er... memorable moments. Missy also taught Hannah to tolerate country music (there maaaay be a texas line dance at the wedding as a result of this...).
Amy Sheppherd, Bridesmaid
Amy has been Hannah's roommate for the past year and a half, and a very special friend and import piece of Hannah and Andrew's relationship. Amy and Andrew make up their own self-proclaimed "A-team" and Hannah and Andrew have decided that Amy is their honorary "first kid". Amy, Andrew, and Hannah can be found having "family dinners" together, watching action movies and eating Ben&Jerrys, or hanging out at cool local eateries.
Eric Theisen, Best Man
Eric is my older brother, he's married to Alyssa and has 4 beautiful children. He works as a children's pastor at West Wood and the head of transportation at Blake schools. Eric has been such a wonderful influence on my life from the way he raises his kids and leads his family to he's extraordinary faith. Eric has always been the one to expose me to new things like sushi, cigars and cool indie music and always has something funny to say.

Chris Hughs, Groomsman
Chris is my brother-in-law and is married to my sister Amber (obviously) and they live in Texas and have 3 beautiful kids and one on the way. Chris and I became good friends when he was living at my parents house with me while my sister was at college. Chris is loud, funny and a little bit annoying so he fit into the family perfectly and he feels like a second brother.
Ben Aurich, Groomsman
Ben Aurich, Groomsman
Ben has been a good friend for mine for most of my life but it wasn't until we became roommates that he became one of my closest friends. Ben just recently was accepted in to Moody (WOO HOO!!!) and is going for his pastorate. Ben and I have some fund memories of sitting out on the porch drinking coffee or smoking cigars and talking deep level theology and how wonderful it would be to be married.
Elijah Neumann, Groomsman
Elijah is Hannah's oldest younger brother... Yeah that makes sense. Elijah is going to Northwestern for design and is at the top of he class, but would you expect anything less from him? Elijah and I were also roommates, co-workers and became close friends, I'm excited to call him my brother-in-law.
