The Wedding Party...

A Heying Wedding, Wedding Party

Matron of Honor

ANGELA HASKOVEC, Sister of the Bride

Angie is not only one of my matrons of honor, but she is also my oldest sister and one of my closest best friends. She has been one of my role models since I was a little girl. Angie is super mom. She is the best juggler of tasks I have ever known. From grandaughter to mother; sister to wedding planner; every title Ang has held she goes above and beyond every expectation of her.  She is the most caring genuine person you will ever meet. Her kindness and positive attitude radiate through gentle embrace and beautiful smile. I honestly would not have been able to plan our wedding without her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being my and now, Aaron’s biggest cheerleader and motivator. 

MEGAN ABBAS, Sister of the Bride

 Megan is my older sister and Matron of honor. Megan is one of the smartest women I know. She’s incredibly brave and even more selfless; she got that from our mother. Megan is constantly worried about everyone else but herself and she does it so effortlessly it’s inspiring. Every time I need advice she’s one of the very first people I call. I know she will be completely honest with me have my best interest in mind. It means the world to me to have Megan’s approval in life; I value her opinion so much. Megan has always been a shoulder to lean on and a voice of reason in my life and for that I will forever be grateful. 

Bridesmaids

TRACY WINTER, Friend of the Bride

When I think of what I would want in a best friend it would be someone whom I could talk to about anything, one who shares similar interests with myself, a genuine, kind-hearted, honest and loyal person. That leads me to my next bridesmaid, Tracy. Tracy and I went to different schools and are from different towns but we were destined to cross paths in life and I honestly don’t know who I would be as a person without her. She has taught me so much about myself and how a friendship should be. She’s absolutely stunning in every way possible. She’s very rapidly grown into one of the closest people in both Aaron and my life. Aaron adores her and that means so much to me. We've only been friends for six years but Tracy has grown into family to me. I love her to death and can’t wait to watch our lives unfold. 

ARICA SIGLIN, Friend of the Bride

Arica and I have known each other the longest out of all my bridesmaids besides my sisters. She has always been someone who completely understands me as a person. Most the time she knows me better than myself. I’m pretty sure my parents would adopt Arica if she would let them. Arica has such a vivacious personality. I remember being so envious of her sense of humor as a little girl, she was always the funniest! Arica is so talented. She’s extremely smart and such a hard worker. If Arica sets her mind to something, she will accomplish it, I love that about her! Her and I have always and will always be the best of friends!

JENNA ROTHS, Friend of the Bride

I have known Jenna since I was a little girl. Growing up Arica, Jenna, and I were inseparable. We did everything together. I can’t speak for Arica but I think she would agree with me and say Jenna’s mom, Linda, always had the best stash of food a kid could ask for! We have so many great memories together as little kids all the way up to today. I’ve always thought it would be so great to have kids around the same time in life so they could grow up together like we did, who knows what the future holds with that but one thing I do know is that I am extremely lucky to have such an amazing person as one of my closest friends. 

MEGAN GLEASON, Friend of the Bride

Megan is the nicest person I have ever met, hands down. I don’t think she has an ounce of mean in her petite little body. Megan and I have gotten extremely close over the last five years. She and her fiancé, Clinton, Aaron and I love to get together and hang out. We always have such a blast together. Thanks to Meg and I, Clint and Aaron have also grown into great friends. J  In fact, the four of us dream one day of having a place at the river and the other couple owning the boat and raising our families together. They really are two of the most loyal overwhelmingly fun people we have in our life.

KELLI MEIRICK,  Friend of the Bride

Kelli lived in New Hampton when she was little and later moved to Ahwatukee, AZ. I don’t get to see Kelli as much I would like but when we get together it’s like we’ve never skipped a beat. She has one of the most incredible families I have ever met. Kelli has such a dynamite personality and she’s insanely thoughtful. I’ve always admired her beauty and her ability to light up a room. Kelli is one of those people that everyone wants to know and I have the pleasure of calling her my bridesmaid and friend. 

Flowergirls

FLYNN HEYING, Niece of the Groom

Flynn is Aaron’s niece, Lucas’ little girl. Flynn has the personality of a teenager rolled into a 2 and half year olds body. She is extremely smart and pretty darn cute as well! She’s always reliable for a good laugh and a great big hug! She loves playing with her dollies, dance parties, movie marathons, and telling stories. Flynn is a hit where ever she goes.

ISABELLE HASKOVEC, Couple's Godchild

Isabelle is my niece, she’s Angie’s daughter and probably the most active almost three year old you will ever meet. She is obsessed with the movie frozen and the song, “Let It Go!” She has Angelina Jolie’s lips with crystal clear blue eyes and the prettiest long brown hair. I had the pleasure of spending 8 months taking care of Isabelle at their home in Chandler, AZ after I graduated from Iowa. I’m so glad I was able to be there to watch her change from a 6 pound baby into a healthy, happy, Winnie the Pooh and Minnie too-loving little girl! 

Personal Attendant

EMILY HEYING, Sister of the Groom

Emily is Aaron’s sister and my soon to be sister-in-law. I couldn't think of anyone better to be my personal attendant. Emily currently resides in Oklahoma with her boyfriend, Henry, so we don’t get to spend as much time with them as we’d like. Emily has an enormous heart. She thinks of everyone before herself and is always extending a helping hand. Emily is one hell of a cook. She can replicate just about anything you ask her to in the kitchen. Emily will do anything for her family. She loves so unconditionally that no matter how much her brothers still terrorize her she loves them just the same. I’m so appreciative of the support she’s given Aaron and I over the last five years of our relationship!

Best Man

LUCAS HEYING, Brother of the Groom

Lucas is my one and only brother. Lucas has been my best friend since I can remember. We have had many great laughs however we have had just as many battles of who is the roughest and toughest of the two of us. Lucas has always been there for me and probably now more than ever, he is my hunting partner, MaeLyn and I’s helper around the house, a pain in the a**, and the best brother a person could ask for. I’m honored to have him at my side as thee best man!     

Groomsmen

TRENT LETCHENBERG, Friend of the Groom

Trent and I became friends my sophomore year in high school. I met Trent through Bryan Dungey, as the years went on we became very close. The more Trent and I spent time together the more gray hairs I think my parents were producing. Trent has been nothing less than a great friend since the beginning, he has always been a helping hand when I needed one, a shoulder to lean on and an outrageously great time even if your not looking for one. Trent is an amazing friend to not only me but MaeLyn and my family as well. We are honored to have him be a part of lives.

MARK "BUZZ" KOBLISKA, Friend of the Groom

Buzz and I were “country” neighbors growing up. We became very close friends in high school, there were many nights spent hanging out at the “little house” or tearing through the neighborhood. If you are ever looking for someone to do some James Bond driving he’s the one. We have had many great times together and continue to have more as we are finally starting to grow up. Maelyn and my wedding would not be the same if Buzz wasn’t a part of if.

NATE "GEERTY" GEERTS, Friend of the Groom

Geerty and I met when I moved to New Hampton in the sixth grade. I was looking for a friend and he and I gravitated towards each other As the years went on, we spent about all our time together all through high school. We made lots of great memories and continue to make more as time allows us to do so. I want to thank Nathan for his service to this country. He currently lives with his wife in Richmond Hill, GA. We’ve been through a lot together and I feel honored to have him stand up for me my wedding.

BRIAN "LLOYD" DUNGEY, Friend of the Groom

“Lloyd” and I have been really close since the start of freshmen year in high school. Bryan and I have had some great times through the years, from the Dungey family vacations to Okoboji, the occasional road trip and just being us. Bryan is always good for a laugh whether with him or about him, he is what a person would want when thinking about what a friend is. I am honored to have him be a part of my big day.    

CLINT BALTES, Friend of the Groom

Clint and I haven’t known each other all that long but I feel like we have been friends forever. Clint and I met in the summer of 2010 when his family invited MaeLyn and I to Prarie. MaeLyn and Clint have been friends since they were little kids. After being around Clint and his family I know why she thinks so highly of them. Clint has been extremely supportive of Maelyn and I and always looking for a way to make my life easier. Maelyn and I are honored to have him as a friend and a part of our special day.   

VALLIE "ITTY BITTY/LIL FELLA"  STONE, Friend of the Groom

“Itty bitty/Lil fella” and I have been friends since my early years in high school. I met Vallie during wrestling practice and our friendship has grown from there.  After high school Vallie and I spent a lot of time together, we worked together, I worked and he watched, majority rest of our relationship was spent with a cold one in hand and a smile on our face. I’m honored to have him be a part of our wedding.

Ushers

JEFF and STEVE LENTZ, Friends of the Groom

Jeff and Steve Lentz are like brothers to me, I have known them since I was a little boy. We’ve hunted together every since my Joanne allowed me to hang out with them.  You usually don’t get one without the other and I’ve always admired their brotherhood. Over the last couple years Jeff and Steve and Lucas and I have gotten closer, we’ve spent a lot of time in the woods prepping for the hunting season and finishing the days off with a Lake Made beer fishing tourney. I’m blessed to have these guys in my life and be a part of the day.

GABRIEL HASKOVEC, Couple's Nephew

Gabriel is Angie and Jarrett’s oldest son. He is 9 years old and dreams of becoming a professional baseball or football player some day. Gabriel knows he has to work very hard to achieve his dreams and honestly, he has enough skill right now as a 9 year old that I could see it happening. Gabriel loves Aaron and looks up to him. Aaron was able to come to Arizona with me for a while when I babysat the kids for Ang and Jarrett and he got really close with all of them. The kids love playing catch or wrestling with Aaron.

MICHAEL HASKOVEC, Couple's Godchild

Michael is Angie and Jarrett’s son as well he is 8 year old. Michael is the class clown. You can always rely on him for a good laugh and he is one of the most selfless kids I have ever met. He always thinks of himself last and for an 8 year old that is pretty impressive. He is the best big brother to Isabelle and she adores Michael. I’m pretty sure his name was one of the first words she learned. He is one of our ushers!
