THE BRIDESMAIDS

kIMMY kLIPSCH - mAID OF hONOR

Lindsey and Kimmy met in college, and lived together their senior year.  They became pretty inseparable at that point!  Kimmy is the best event planner, champagne popper, and all around find-any-reason-to-celebrate-er.  Her thoughtful and genuine nature is so admirable, and her smile and laughter infectious.  Find her on the dance floor during the wedding - she'll be the one busting a move all night long!

Colleen Kinsey

Colleen is Lindsey's "Big Sister" - formally from her sorority in college, but really in every sense of the role!  They met when Lindsey moved into her dorm freshman year at Missouri State, and have been best friends ever since.  Colleen is smart, quick-witted, and such a loyal friend - not to mention the sense of comfort she gave to Susan (Lindsey's Mom) as she watched after Lindsey while she was away!  Find her when you can't decide what to drink...she's Lindsey's most cultured friend and her taste is impeccable. 

Hollie Brower

Hollie is another one of Lindsey's best girlfriends - and this up-for-anything, fun loving woman is one of the strongest people Lindsey has ever met!  Hollie introduced Lindsey to red lipstick and New York City, and though she's the farthest from her in distance, she'll drop anything for a FaceTime call or check-in text.  She is fun, honest, and cares so deeply about her friends.  Watch really closely during the ceremony - taking bets on whether or not she sheds a tear.

Claire Seibel

Lindsey and Claire first bonded in the Sigma Kappa House over their similar taste in shower music - the John Mayer Continuum Album, of course.  As if that wasn't enough to solidify their friendship, their shared love of all things Christmas brought the two closer together.  Claire is so fun-loving and can tell such great stories.  Lindsey is so lucky to have gotten to know such a great friend like her!  Be careful what you do at the wedding, Claire doesn't forget ANYTHING and loves to bring up the most embarrassing memories you think everyone has forgotten about...
(Claire, no joke, as I'm typing this, Gravity just came on shuffle - get out of here.)

Kristen Young

Kristen is Lindsey's cousin and has known her the longest of those in the bridal party!  From growing up playing together at Grandma and Grandpa's house to now sharing a deep love for wine and Tim McGraw - 27 years of family has turned into friendship.  You can't choose your family...but you CAN choose your bridesmaids...and it's perfect when you can have both by your side!  Kristen is one of the most down to earth people I've ever met, and I'm so proud we're related.  Find Kristen at the wedding when you need a good laugh - she has the best sense of humor and will make you laugh until you cry!

Kimberly Young

Kimberly married into Lindsey's family...thank goodness they didn't scare her off!  Kimberly is Lindsey's cousin Scott's wife, and is one of the sweetest, most considerate, gentle souls Lindsey has known.  Lindsey looks up to Kimberly - she works so hard and is raising one of the most intelligent, tenderhearted little girls EVER (see Ila in the flower girl pictures...).  Lindsey's only known Kimberly for a few years, but feels like she's known her forever!  Try to befriend Kimberly during the reception - she throws the cutest parties, you'll want an invite.

THE GROOMSMEN

Josh Madden - Co-Best Man

Josh is one of Trenton's best friends.  They grew up in the same neighborhood, but their friendship wasn't solidified until high school and college.  Bonding over football, grilling, shooting, poker, KSU, and a multitude of other activities, there was nothing that could break this brotherhood.  They both have each other's backs...and also enjoy the same beverages.  Josh's new bride, Maria, has also become a very close friend of Lindsey and Trent's, and they're in the process of convincing them to move back to Kansas City. ;) You can find Josh sipping on some Macallan's throughout the night - also, ask him to see pictures of his dog, Philly.

Aaron "Peak" Peak - Co-Best Man

Aaron is another one of Trent's best friends.  Having brothers in the same class, Aaron and Trenton quickly became friends as they were both attending baseball games, band concerts, or birthday parties as the "little brothers."  Fast forward several years, and the friendship never went away.  From good friends to best friends and roommates, Aaron and Trenton have had numerous memorable nights - some that they can, and some that they can't talk about.  Regardless, they were fun!  Being a night owl, Peak will be the last one to leave the wedding...look for him during last call!

Jarrod Miller

J-Rod, or "Uncle J" according to Hercules and Macklind, has been one of Trenton's closest friends since they were young.  Like the previous two groomsmen, Jarrod also grew up with Trenton in the Buhler School District and was involved in many of the same activities.  From Scouts, to Buhler Singers, to band, to golf, to KC roommates, Jarrod and Trenton have created a great deal of memories.  Despite being a very responsible pharmacist, Jarrod knows how to have a good time.  Look for him on the dance floor!

pATRICK aLTENHOFEN

Patrick and Trenton quickly became friends shortly after Trenton started work at Saint Luke’s and shared a cube with a very special consultant that reported to Patrick. From happy hours to early morning runs, it did not take long for Trenton and Patrick to realize they had a lot in common and become really close friends. It also helps that Patrick has an awesome wife and kids that are fun to hang out with! Look for Patrick as he stands at least 2 feet taller than anyone else around him! How’s the weather up there, Pat?!

bRANDON sTRINGER

Brandon is Trenton’s older and only brother. Growing up, Brandon has always been a terrific example for Trenton to look up to. The friendly competition drove Trenton to accomplish many things solely because his older brother had done them too. Now each of them have chosen their own paths, but the respect and brotherly love is still present as they each now have their own families. You can find Brandon playing with some surgery simulator in his spare time. So if you slip and fall on the dance floor, find Bandon and he will stitch you back up!

JOsh pearson

Josh is Lindsey's younger and only brother. From the moment Trenton was introduced to Lindsey’s family, Trenton and Josh have bonded over their love for movies and a dark sense of humor. From quoting the Hangover to shooting off fireworks, they have already had many great times. So if you are looking for the right movie quote to describe your feeling for the night, hit Josh up!

FLOWER GIRLS

Ila (left) is Lindsey's second cousin, and will be 4 at the time of Lindsey and Trent's wedding!  She loves her Mommy and Daddy, her Bubba (her dog), her pretties (bracelets), Moana and Elsa.  She loves to dance and wear dresses - which made her the perfect candidate for Trent & Lindsey's flower girl entourage...not to mention she's as CUTE as can be!

Gracelynn (right) is Trent's Goddaughter and second cousin.  She'll be 5 when the wedding rolls around - and has many opinions about her dress, Lindsey's dress, the wedding colors...you name it!  Gracelynn loves Trolls and she wants to be a dentist when she grows up.  She's been practicing her flower girl duties since last December!

The Ring Bearers

Graham (left) is Trenton's nephew...he'll be 2 for the wedding!  He loves donuts, his sock monkey, his new brother or sister (due soon before the wedding!), and the fan section at Home Depot.  Lindsey and Graham enjoy naps together - and Graham likes when Trenton puts him up high on his shoulders!

Kasyn (right) is Trenton's Godson.  Kasyn will be 3 by November!  He is talking up a storm - he loves to FaceTime LIndsey and Trent without parental supervision! A few of Kasyn's favorite things are Thomas the Tank Engine, Paw Patrol, and KState Sports (which may or may not be influenced by Dad and Godfather Trent...)  Kasyn's parents, Kyle and Maggie, have been close friends of Trenton's since high school, and Trent is so glad this little man is his Godson!
