Ashley Hohensee & Patrick Russell's Wedding Website

Kayce and I met freshman year of highschool. We were immediate friends and have been partners in crime ever since. We were roommates in college and were often accused of taking the roommate thing a little too far by constantly wearing matching outfits. We have spent many hours together watching our favorite shows Grey's Anatomy, Golden Girls, Jeopardy and Southpark. Kayce is "My Person". The Meredith to my Christina and best friend. I am so excited to have her by my side on my big day!

Maria Lueders

Matron of Honor

Maria was the first friendly face I met my first day of highschool. We had health class together and became friends immediately. She was a soccer player and I was a dancer, but what started out as an unlikely friendship has turned into one of my most cherished. There wasn't a weekend Maria and I didn't hang out and try to prank Kayce and her car. While Maria lives in a different state distance does not keep us apart. We have the most random group chat that keeps us involved in each others lives. As my longest standing friend I am so grateful she is able to stand with me on my big day! You're the B-Fri to my EST-End

Andrea Daly

Bridesmaid

Andrea and I met at work. Through our mutual distaste for our boss we became great friends! We have spent many nights at Wild West two-stepping our hearts out. When she moved to North Carolina we kept in contact and made plans to see each other often. Thankfully, a couple years later she was relocated back to Texas and while we don't two-step much anymore we still find time to drink wine and have dance parties. I am so thankful to have my Lady Gaga dance partner back in Texas and a part of my big day!

Ashley Stanuga

Bridesmaid

Ashley and I also met through our jobs. Again, with mutual distaste for our managers we became the best of friends! Ashley is everything you hope for in a friend. She always asks how you are doing and sends you encouraging words when you need them most. I am so lucky to have worked with such great girls that have turned into life long friends. While Ashley and I no longer work together our friendship continues to grow year after year. I am so happy to have Ashley Squared back together in Dallas!

Lia D'Agostino

Bridesmaid

Lia was one of the first girls I met when I moved to Dallas. She was so welcoming of me into her group of girlfriends. She makes you feel like you have been friends forever even if you've just met. Lia is always down for a good theme party or random activity like goat yoga. I am so thankful for our friendship and look forward to making more memories and becoming even better friends.

Steph Cruz

Bridesmaid

I met Steph through one of Patrick's oldest friends Conner. While we have only known each other for a short time we have an instant connection. Steph never lets me down when it comes to talking about fashion, makeup and rose wine. Every time we are together the laughs are endless. I am so thankful to have her in my life and excited for her to be standing with me on my big day!

Tim Fiola

Best Man

I met Tim my sophomore year at St. Anthony's on the track team. Tim brought me into the friend group and it was like I've known him my whole life. We have been best friends ever since. Whether it's Yankees games, bonfires at Gilgo beach, country concerts, St. Patricks Day trips to Dallas, or spring break road trips to visit Steve I can always count on Tim to have my back and be there. I couldn't imagine having anyone else standing next to me on my big day and help me say I do.

Steve Moss

Groomsman

I also met Steve at St. Anthonys and we became instant friends. Steve is the funniest guy in the room and you'd never know it until you met him. Just like Tim, Steve would give you the shirt off of his back in an instant. I have so many memories of Steve between Yankees games, road trips, endless summer nights, it's hard to narrow it down to the most memorable. What I do know is that he needs to be up there next to me on my big day. It wouldn't be the same without him!

Conner Nelson

Groomsman

I met Conner as a pledge brother through Lambda Chi Alpha at Oklahoma State. We lived together in our fraternity house for 2 years. We were close friends throughout college and became even closer when we decided to become roommates again in Dallas. Conner and I have been through it all. We lived together for four more years and continue to hang out regularly. I couldn't have this day without him by my side.

James Turcott

Groomsman

James, my fellow New York transplant to Texas. While we didn't know each other back home, James was introduced to me through 6 degrees of separation. Through our passion of New York sports teams we immediately became friends. James then quickly became my roommate and HUUUGE OSU fan. While we no longer live together we still find time to passionately discuss all things New York with our Texas friends.

Adam London

Groomsman

Adam is a part of our Michigan group that I met through Ryan. He quickly became one of my good friends and is the life of the party. Adam and I have spent many nights at Eastwoods alone drinking $4 pitchers of beer and watching sports. Whether we are playing Xbox, Switch or board games Adam is always down for a hangout.

Ryan Williamson

Groomsman

Ryan moved from Michigan a few years ago. Again, through 6 degrees of separation he has become a lifelong friend. He is always down for a party whether it's tossing bags, playing golf or singing terrible country karaoke. I'm looking forward to our reception rendition of "Should've Been A Cowboy".

Christian Nelson

Groomsman

Christian is Conner's younger brother and over the years has basically become mine as well. Whether we are bonding over sports betting, xbox, or ordering postmates at 3am, Christian is always the life of the party. For the biggest event I've thrown yet, I knew for sure that I needed Christian by my side celebrating with me. I can't wait to make more memories we won't remember!

Graycen Sanchez

Flower Girl

Gray is my youngest niece. She is Kira's youngest daughter and the biggest spitfire of them all. She loves unicorns, facetime and playing guitar. She has so much energy and is such a performer. She will be sure to steal the show!

Rhett Lueders

Ring Bearer

Rhett is Maria's son and the reason I decided I would have children some day. I was not a big fan of kids until I held Rhett and my heart melted. He is the sweetest little boy with the cutest smile. Seeing him walk down the aisle is sure to steal all of your hearts!

Kira Sanchez

Ashley's Sister

Kira is my oldest sister. She married a military man and moved from Texas when I was 10. While we are many years apart in age and don't get to spend as much time together as we would like; we always have the best time when she visits. Whether she is braiding my hair or I'm doing her makeup we always find a way to bond and make the most of our time together. I am so excited to be celebrating this time with her and I'm looking forward to the many more memories we are sure to make!

Amber Hohensee

Ashley's Sister

Amber is my second oldest sister. We have spent many years singing car karaoke into a hairbrush. She took me to one of my first concerts (N*sync), she shares my Taylor Swift obsession and once stood on a bar in Mexico and yelled "tequila!" with me. She has been there for all of life's major events and I'm so grateful we will spending the most important one yet together!

Brianne Russell

Patrick's Sister

Brianne is Patrick's oldest sister. While I was nervous at first to meet her, wondering if she would like me or not we clicked instantly. She will always tell it like it is and help plan anything. She has taken me in as her own sister and I look forward to creating many more memories with her. I am so excited to add another sister to the bunch!

Lauren Russell

Patrick's Sister

Lauren is Patrick's middle sister. She is currently a freshman at Nova Southeastern in Florida. Lauren is the kindest, most soft spoken soul I have ever met. I have always been the youngest sibling so I am excited to now add two younger sisters to the crew!

Emily Russell

Patrick's Sister

Emily is Patrick's youngest sister. She is an avid horseback rider and the brains of the bunch. Much like myself she is full of sass, wit and a Harry Styles fan. I can't wait to spend more time together and to continue making memories!

Quinn Hansen

Quinn and I have become close friends over the past few years. We met while working at HPE and became instant friends, so much so that Quinn followed me to my new job! Quinn is the type of guy when you call him at 3am to help you he just says yes without asking any questions. We bonded over the military, video games, and of course good beer. I've only known Quinn since 2019 but it feels like I've known him my whole life and I couldn't imagine him not being apart of our day!

Keith Helt

Keith and I were also pledge brothers at Lambda Chi Alpha. We lived together in the frat house for 2 years and roomed together for another. Keith and I have endless memories from Stillwater and beyond. While I don't have enough time to tell those tales, I will share one. The first time I introduced Keith to my parents he took out a Red Sox hat and my dad almost killed him. You can only imagine what this Yankee fans family thought! Keith currently works at Oklahoma State University so we don't get to see each other as often as we'd like but I knew this day wouldn't be the same without him there!

John Hohensee

John is Ashley's oldest brother. While I am still getting to know him we always have a great time together. We both enjoy whiskey and cokes, cigars and video games. I am so excited to no longer be the only boy and finally get a brother to help me deal with all these sisters.
