So we finally have our whole wedding party in place! I have to appologize about the pictures I can't believe I don't have a single picture of John and his brother Chris! So...here they are.
Best Man - Chris Cannon, Johns Brother
When John and I started thinking about who we wanted to stand up for us it was a no brainer that Johns brother Chris was going to be the "Best Man". We are so fortunate to be so close to family here in Cedar Rapids. It is great to be able to get together so frequently for Sunday afternoon dinners with everyone.
Groomsmen - Johnse Bushlack, friend of Johns and who introduced us. (Yes this is the husband of my Bridesmaid Lauren!)
Johnse and John have been friends since they were kids. When I came up to visit Johnse and Lauren 3 years ago they were the ones to introduce John and I together. We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends here in Cedar Rapids. We love going on vacation with them and have had some great times over the years!
Groomsmen - Paul Koenig, fellow firefighter and also kind of how I know John....
The reaon I say that he is also the reason I know John is because we actually met on Paul's bachelor party! Paul is a very good friend of both John and I. I have gotten to know his wife Carly very well over the years and we love getting together with their family! Paul and John have also done a lot of remodeling projects over the years...including our entire house!
Groomsmen - Steve Mast, fellow firefighter and maybe the funniest person I know
Steve and his wife Jill are very good friends of John and I. We try to get together with them as well as the Koenigs as much as we can (tough with their schedules). Steve is probably the funniest person I know and constantly has you laughing. Jill and I have become good friends over the years and just recently finished up the "Citizens Fire Academy" together. Steve has also worked on many remodeing projects with John and Paul including our entire house!
So there you have it! The Wedding Party is official! :-) I feel so blessed to have every one of these people in our life! Stay tuned for updates on wedding stuff. We are going to try to use this blog to keep everyone up to date!
