Ari Clasquin
Maid of Honor
I have known Ari (aka SB) since we were 5 and in Kindergarten. We grew up playing soccer together, going through high school and college together, and being basically the same person / best friends forever. Ari is my person, we are SBs. She is the most loyal, dependable, caring, and badass person I know. I am so excited to have her by my side on the big day!
Angie Mast
Bridesmaid
Angie is my twin, we are #ash&ang, and we are always on the same page. We met in college at CSU and after college, we became Kerri and Misty on the grass and sand volleyball courts across Denver. She is my biggest cheerleader and she pushes me to be the best in both my personal life and in my career. She is such a #bossbabe. I am so excited to celebrate this day with Angie by my side!
Lynette Leucke
Bridesmaid
Lynette and I met at our first job after college with the FDIC. We were both in the same rotational program and we ended up traveling and spending a year together becoming best friends. We became #besties when we lived in Schaumburg, IL where we did the Insanity workout, drank wine, ate cheddar rice crisps, and shared everything with each other. Lynette is the reason I am marrying my best friend and my forever future as it was her wedding that introduced us! I am so thankful for Lynette and can't wait to have her by my side when I say, "I Do!" Cheers (clink^clink)
Natalie Prescott
Bridesmaid
Natalie is my amazing sister-in-law and I couldn't have been more lucky to gain her as a sister! She is the best mom to my nephew Sawyer, she is a great wife, and she is just an overall awesome and wonderful person who I truly enjoy being around. Her first introduction to me was as my teammate in Taboo at family game night and that was where I learned she is competitive bad ass that I knew would fit right into the Searle family. I am so thankful for Natalie and am so happy to have her by my side as I say, "I Do!"
Olena Boichenko
Bridesmaid
Olena is my best friend from Connecticut. We started at Synchrony within 2 weeks of each other and sat in a small file room together until they had room for us so we bonded very quickly. Olena is brilliant, driven, bold, and hilarious, I admire so much about her and am so grateful for her friendship in CT. I am honored to have her stand by my side on the big day!
Sterling Bradshaw
Best Man
Sterling and I are products of Putnam County. We shared many good times in High School and our friendship grew stronger over time. He has always been someone that I have felt comfortable being myself around and talk through life situations. I was lucky enough to have him join me in KC to spend more time together watching the Chiefs, golfing, or playing board games. He and his wife Ashley were also nice enough to let me reside in their basement during the 60-day interim period between house closings that allowed Ashlyn and I to get our dream home. Outside of always making me laugh, I know he would be there for anything Ashlyn and I need.
Chris Ramirez
Groomsman
Chris and I were teammates at Willam Jewell College. We are the result of the Jewell living policy as we spent 3-years of dorm life together. He persistently walked into my room, demanded I call him King Rambo, and slowly I just gave in. We soon became best friends through our remaining years in college. He and his wife are two people I hold dear in my heart and we have so many great memories from before and after having Ashlyn in my life. Living the good life in California, Ashlyn and I do our best to see Chris, Amanda, & Roman as often as possible.
Danny Burns
Groomsman
Any free weekend I had in college, I would drive to wherever Danny was going to be. I have always looked up to him for the passionate way he played the sport of football but never dreamt we would become the best of friends. He has always known how to make me laugh and we have always made great memories together. Although we live further apart now, to this day when he and his wife Tracey make it to KC, the best of times are to be had.
Chris Welder
Groomsman
Chris and I share a passion for the Chiefs, BBQ, and golfing. Usually when he makes it to KC for a weekend, we do all three. He is the reason I check the Iowa Hawkeyes scores on Saturday. And even though we live miles away and both have our career goals, we have remained close friends. Ashlyn and I look forward to the weekends that bring him and his wife Emily into town.
Daniel Webster
Groomsman
Daniel is wise beyond his years and will always make time to listen. Knowing Daniel in college gave me a background in his strong character, and our friendship strengthened after the playing on the field together. As a frugal traveler, I took advantage of his driveway to avoid paying for parking during my monthly travel to see Ashlyn. It was never a question, and he often volunteered to drive me to save the Uber bill. And as fate may have it, during the process of house shopping, we became neighbors and now we enjoy watching the Chiefs, playing golf, and eating Valentine Beef steaks.
Kyle Hodges
Groomsman
Although his style as Fantasy Commissioner does not sit well with me, he is truly the best friend, always only a phone call away. We didn't take advantage of living in the same city for the first couple of years, but once he moved north of the river, we've spent many nights in Kyle and his wife Cassie’s backyard playing bags, darts, and card games. Kyle is also a valuable resource for any DIY project and the best golf partner!
Sawyer Searle
Ring Bearer
Sawyer is Ashlyn's 3-year old nephew. He is the cutest kid who has a curiosity about him that makes him simply brilliant. We can't wait for Sawyer to walk down the aisle as our Ring Bearer.
Rylan Clark
Ring Bearer
Rylan is Nathan's 8-year old nephew. He is a ball of energy who loves cowboys, transformers, and he used to say he liked the Broncos to appease Ashlyn but really he liked his Uncle's team all along. Go Chiefs. We can't wait for Rylan to be our Ring Bearer on the big day.
Fallon Clark
Flower Girl
Fallon is Nathan's 3-year old neice. She is a giggler who loves to sing and loves Disney princesses, especially Moana. She is a real-life princess and we can't wait for her to make our day magical as our Flower GIrl.
Alex Boichenko
Flower Girl
Alex is Ashlyn's 8-year old best friend. Ashlyn's best friend from Synchrony Financial, Olena, is Alex's mom and we all hung out for 4 years when I lived in Connecticut. Alex and I share a love for Disney, coloring, and singing. Alex is an absolutely beautiful girl, inside and out, and I am so excited for her to be my Flower Girl.
Tristan Searle
Usher
Tristan is Ashlyn's 22-year old brother. Tristan is the sweetest, most generous, and thoughtful guy around. He is passionate about everything he does in life and I am so blessed to have him as a little brother. We are so excited to have him help us celebrate our big day!
Kolton Foreman
Usher
Kolton is Nathan's 17-year old nephew. Kolton loves his truck, Madden, and shares my love of the Chiefs. He is such a respectful, strong, and determined young man and I am proud to be his uncle. We are so excited to have Kolton help celebrate our big day!
WIll Ogorek
Officiant
Will and I found first love in weight lifting. And that got us through a lot of years. Luckily we both met wonderful women around the same time. Will is someone I have always admired, and has been a very important person in my life. The best thing that's ever happened to Will is Carlie. We have since traded in night clubs for back yard BBQ’s and listening to Carlie and Ashlyn sing Disney. Nonetheless, our friendship continues to strengthen with each stage of life.
Brendon Searle
Pianist
Brendon is Ashlyn's brother and the talented pianist that will be playing at the ceremony. Brendon is one of the bravest, most resilient, and smartest people I know. He studied piano growing up, attending conservatories, and studied it at UNC. We are so lucky to have such a talented family member help us celebrate the moment when we say, "I Do!"
Carlos Rodriguez
Trumpet Player
Carlos is Ashlyn's best guy friend from the FDIC and will be playing a song for the Bride and Groom during the reception. We have traveled the United States, learned how to surf and rappelled down waterfalls in Puerto Rico, and brunched through DC together. He is an extremely talented musician and we are so excited to have him help celebrate our big day!
