Wedding Party

By almost every metric, Brad is the eldest of Todd's two younger brothers. They grew up together in the church because of their mothers' close friendship and Brad remains one of Todd's most staunch friends. He has been excited for and supportive of Todd and Anna Marie's wedding since day one and is delighted to join them on their special day.

Hannah is Anna Marie’s younger sister. They share a mutual love of books, movies, TV shows, and 4-H! Hannah will graduate from high school and Cleveland Community College this May before exploring what comes next. Anna Marie is proud of the young woman her sister has become and is excited to have Hannah standing up with her on her wedding day.

Jake is the younger of Todd's "brothers." Like his brother Brad, Jake grew up with Todd going to the same church and attending the same youth group functions. He remains an attentive and cheerful friend, and both his kindness and gentleness are qualities to which Todd aspires.

Cheryl invested many hours in both raising and homeschooling Anna Marie and her siblings, creating an environment where learning was fun and always encouraging her kids to try new things. Throughout Anna Marie’s childhood, she drove to countless 4-H events, theater rehearsals, piano and horseback riding lessons, co-op classes, and more to give us as many opportunities as she could! Cheryl remains an active volunteer in 4-H and some of the activities in which her children grew up, with a heart for providing similar opportunities for others. Today, she is one of Anna Marie’s first places to go for advice about navigating life and has been a wonderful supporter as Anna Marie and Todd prepare for their new life together.

Even when hard at work in his career in training in safety at Gastonia Sheet Metal in North Carolina, Sam has always made his family a priority, giving Anna Marie many fond memories of camping trips, holidays, and weekend adventures with Dad. He has been a constant supporter for all his kids, even as they have moved out of the house, helping with multiple moves for college and jobs, offering advice on car troubles, or simply sharing the latest cool recipe he found. Sam enjoys using his talents to help those around him. One recent project is the chuppah canopy that will be a centerpiece at Todd and Anna Marie’s wedding!

Kim has worked as hard as any mother can to raise responsible, kind, and successful children that know above all else that their mother loves them. When Todd was growing up she packed countless lunches, drove to innumerable band and sport functions, and did so many other things, noticed or not, that ensured Todd and his sisters could "just be kids." She remains Todd's most enthusiastic cheerleader, celebrating his wins and coaching him through his difficulties, imparting wisdom as he needs it. Today she is still keeping kids in line by driving busses for the Clarkston school district in southeast Michigan. She is thrilled to see her baby boy get married to such a wonderful lady.
