Holly's niece Bailey Reiling will be the flower girl, which will be the fulfillment of her ultimate life goal.
The ring bearer will the one of Holly's nephews (Brady or Brant Reiling)--whichever of the boys protests the least.
Holly's Attendants:
| Stephanie Gehring - From Adel, Iowa. Steph will be the matron of honor. Stephanie and Holly have known each other since they were very young and went to school together in Manson. Steph and her husband Brad live in Adel, where she has her own graphic design business. They have a daughter, Amber, who was born in November, 2001. |
|
| Karen Kaufman - (as written by Karen) - Karen is Holly's older, and most favorite, sister. Karen resides in Garner, Iowa. She is the County Attorney of Hancock County and recently won her very first murder trial. She will be following up her summer campaign of fairs and city celebrations with her starring role as the oldest living bridesmaid. She is deeply saddened that she was unable to be the first to fulfill her niece Bailey's lifelong goal of being a flower girl, but glad that Bailey will be well-rehearsed (and probably able to drive herself to the ceremony) in the event her services are needed at a later date. |
|
| Tammy Reiling - (as written by Karen) - Tammy Reiling is Holly's middle, and only blond, sister. Her smile has been referred to as dorky. (See picture at right.) Tammy is a new associate for Coldwell Banker and is available to meet all of your real estate needs. She also is the Assistant Manager at The Cellar restaurant in Fort Dodge. Tammy is married to Doug, and is the mother of the very lovely Bailey, Brady and Brant, some of whom may elect to participate in the wedding. As the only Kaufman to procreate, Tammy is Holly's mother's favorite child. The Reilings live with their dog Shiloh in Manson in their newly expanded home, which is expertly designed in a Lynette Jennings manner. |
