Get to know a few of our family and friends who will be by our side on our special day!
Susie Asprec
Maid of Honor
Susie is my sister closest in age to me! Although two and a half years apart, we are often referred to as "twins." Susie's the kind of person who packs for a trip two weeks beforehand and always seems to have a plan. She is also without a doubt one of my favorite people on this planet.
Danelie Hefer
Bridesmaid
Danelie and I met in the Philippines & have been #BFF's since we were 12! Despite our friendship being mostly
long-distance, we've stayed close. I'm so grateful to have a friend who's been there from the awkward middle school days until now. Fun fact: We jumped out of a plane together.
Mercy Asprec
Bridesmaid
Mercy and I are exactly seven years apart (born on the same day at the same hospital). Mercy has a contagious spirit & truly cares about those around her. She's also a baller playing sports year round and pours her heart into the people & things she loves!
Alysa Runhaar
Bridesmaid
Fun fact: Alysa and I played on the same indoor soccer team the year I met Sam and I didn't know they were siblings for the longest time. I also thought she was really cool and bought the same sneakers she had. Alysa's also has the sweetest soul!
Ava Runhaar
Bridesmaid
Ava is the youngest in the Runhaar family with a big personality (and a lot of sass)! We both get unnecessarily excited over coffee from Dunkin. Ava recently started college here in Grand Rapids, and it's been such a joy having her closer by.
Zac Runhaar
Best Man
Zac is my only brother and has been there since day one. I'm thankful for all the moments we've shared from our childhood and sports, and I'm excited for many more to come! Zac's also quite the Formula One enthusiast, so if that's your thing, he's the guy to talk to.
Daniel Guarizo
Groomsman
I met Daniel in the laundry room during our first year of college. He asked me two questions: first, "How do you use the washing machine?" and second, "Do you play soccer?" We have been playing soccer ever since and have been housemates for the last two years.
Gabe Domingo
Groomsman
I met Gabe during my second year of college. His high-energy presence brings excitement and drama into my life. Over the past five years, I've discovered that Gabe is the ultimate person to buy gifts for, as his reaction is equivalent to a kid on Christmas.

Joel Baker
Groomsman
Joel and I first bonded on the soccer field during our freshman year of college, and he has been our rec team's goalkeeper ever since! Joel is also the only person I know who would dare to double major in both chemical engineering and religion.

Groomsman
It's hard to find Austin not smiling. He's got some serious curls, but be warned, it's a sight to see with them straightened. I've enjoyed many late night card games and food runs with Austin when we used to live together. He also occasionally says some of the most iconic one-liners.
Hannah Asprec
Jr Bridesmaid
Hannah is 9 years old and full of so much personality (like actually though). We share the same middle name, Joy, which is so fitting as she brings so much laughter and character into the room.
Zach Farrell
Honorary Groomsman
Zach, better known to me as Farrell, was my first college roommate! I managed to turn him into a Borussia Dortmund fan, and he's experienced all the highs and lows of supporting BVB.
Farrell will not be able to stand, as he and his wife are expecting their first baby girl around the same time as our wedding!
Katie Asprec
Jr Bridesmaid
Katie is quite literally the opposite of Hannah. She has the most gentle and quiet soul. She may be the youngest sister in the family, but also one of the most thoughtful 8 year olds you'll ever meet.
