Our Wedding

Ben and Paige met in 2020. Both worked for the Police Department and out of sheer luck, both were assigned at the same station. Though they had seen one another several times at work, they never spoke. It wasn't until a group of people from Ben's unit had a get together at a bar and grill and Paige got the invite, that the two finally talked to one another. Paige has always said that it wasn't what Ben said or talked about that caught her attention, it was what he didn't say. He was nothing but positive and outgoing--zero drama. Ben says what caught his attention was Paige's beauty, her absolute compassion, her ability to "fit in" wherever she goes, and her contagious smile. A few weeks later, the same group had a get together and agreed to meet at a restaurant. Ben and Paige both got there early and sat down to talk. The group texted and had a change in the meeting location and instead of leaving, Ben looked at Paige and asked if MAYBE she wanted to stay there and get to know one another. The two sat there for hours and learned about each other. Months later, after being in a relationship, Ben thought it was time for Paige to meet his two BEAUTIFUL children, Mallory and Emmory. Nervous, of course, Paige was extremely excited to meet them. Those two girls, as well as Ben, have become Paige's whole world. December of 2022, Ben asked Paige to marry him in front of her entire family and she of course, said yes. The love these two have for one another is beautiful. They are one another's support system, best friends, and confidants. The two can't wait to start the rest of their lives together!

Danielle "Dee" Brock is the big sister of Paige. Growing up, Paige looked at EVERYTHING Dee did and wanted to be so much like her. Paige admired her bravery to venture out and begin her career as a first responder, even moving to Kansas City to live with Dee while Dee was a Paramedic with KCFD. When Dee moved back to St. Charles, Paige decided to stay behind and follow in her big sisters foot steps.... sort of. Dee was and still is one of Paige's biggest supporters as Paige began her career in Law Enforcement. Always having her back and pushing her to be the best she can be, asking Dee to be her Maid of Honor was an easy choice.

As everyone knows, Megan is Paige's identical twin sister. The two grew up sharing everything while trying their best to create their own separate personalities. No matter how hard they tried, the two were identical physically, emotionally and mentally. Paige deeply admires Megans unbelievable brilliance (seriously, she is crazy smart). Paige loves to watch Megan raise the most beautiful daughter, Lucille Paige Michaelree. Watching Megan go through the emotions of being a mom made Paige prepared to be a step-mother to two beautiful girls. Having Megan next to her on her big day will make everything absolutely perfect.

Chelsea and Paige met at the Police Academy in 2019. Paige, being the shy and quiet one at the time wasn't sure what to think of the outgoing and spunky Chelsea. It didn't take but two days before the two knew they would be friends for the long hall. Through the ups and downs of the academy as well as the ups and downs outside of it, the two remained hip to hip. Paige has always admired how Chelsea speaks her mind, fears nothing, and pursues what ever makes her happy. Chelsea brought Paige out of her shell and showed her what it was like to be fearless and pursue her goals. Unbreakable friendship.

Rachael and Paige met in 2014 when Paige just moved to Kansas City. Both were bartenders in the same neighborhood and grew to become the best of friends. Eventually, Paige quit where she was working and began to work with Rachael learning how to REALLY bartend (no, seriously...Paige learned her skills from Rach.) Rachael, surely concerned, supported Paige in every challenge she faced and every wild goal she wanted to accomplish. As one of her biggest cheerleaders, it was no question that Paige have Rachael by her side on her big day.

Oh where to begin with this one. Paige and Cassie were unfortunately brought together by tragedy. However, Paige is a firm believer in the fact that people are brought into your life when you need them the most, whether you know it at the time or not. It did not take long for the two to become close and eventually be glued at the hip. The two support one another, encourage one another, and lift one another up when they are down. Paige always talks about how much she admires Cassie's strength and unwavering bravery. These two were meant to become friends and Paige knew immediately that this friendship would last a lifetime. 

Cassie Muhlbauer

Mallory, who is the oldest of Bens two daughters, is Paige's favorite future Broadway star. The two bond over their love for theatrics! This sweet girl brings a smile to Paige's face every day. Watching her dance and sing across the stage is something Paige looks forward to every chance she gets! 

Emmory, the youngest, is the firey wild child. This spunky girl keeps Paige on her toes at all times. Emmy is the comedic relief in the household for sure. Emmy is also Paige's favorite snuggle buddy. The two love to relax on the couch together, eating ice cream and watching weird shark movies!

The love that Paige has for both of these beautiful young ladies is something to admire. Though they were born before Paige and Ben met, Paige knew in her heart that she wanted these girls by her side when she says "I do." Paige's biggest passion is letting these two know that her Promise to their father is also a promise to them.

Jeremy and Ben met in 2008 while working for Clay County Sheriffs Office. Since then, Jeremy has been like a brother...a much, much older brother to Ben. Jeremy has helped Ben with everything from moving and house projects, to finishing Jameson Whiskey at the house. "I owe him more than I could ever repay"-Ben

Justin and Ben met in 6th grade (yeah, like two decades ago). From riding the bus together to school, to being Ben's vice president in the FFA, as well as fighting fires together and being roommates on several occasions, Justin has been a brother to Ben since childhood. 

Justin Jones

Jake and Ben have known one another for since 2017. The two met while working Metro Patrol Division. Ben and Jake grew up very similar, even going to the same college in Warrensburg at different times. Jake, being just as much of a Southern man as Ben, the two make a great team on patrol. 

Jacob Emig

Chris is the older brother of James "Jim" Muhlbauer, one of Ben's dearest friends. Ben was so excited to ask Jim to stand along his side on his wedding day, unfortunately, the world lost Jim far too soon. Chris was proud to stand in Jim's place on the big day and Ben can't be more thankful. 

Christopher Muhlbauer

Preston and Ben have been childhood friends since the 6th grade also. Ben sees Preston as a great role model and looks to him for guidance, especially music! Preston lives further away than Ben would like, but growing up as neighbors, this friendship never changed. 

Preston Snavely

Greg, or how the grandchildren refer to him as "Fuzzy Papa" is Ben's dad! Greg gave Ben his sense of service, value of hard work, and has always encouraged Ben to push himself to be the best he could be. Greg is kind, loving, extremely generous, and always there for the family. Ben as always stated that he would not be the man today if it were not for the values his father instilled in him (and Paige is VERY thankful for that!)

Ben and Ryan met in the 7th grade. Ryan, along with Justin and Preston have been in Ben's life the longest. The two fought fires together, shot trap competitively and Ryan even took Ben flying before they could drive cars! They played a lot of flying simulator games and more. The two loved exploring the miles and miles of trails behind Ryans house while four wheeling. Ben is thrilled to have another person he considers a brother by his side on the big day!

Ryan Knauer

Ayden is the son of James "Jim" Muhlbauer and is the spitting image of his father. Ben has enjoyed taking Ayden hunting and spending time doing things with him that would make Jim proud. Having Ayden stand beside him on the wedding day feels as though Jim is there with us. 

Ayden Muhlbauer

Lucille "Lucy" is Paige's niece! She is the favorite of the family for sure, being spoiled by her Aunt Dee and her Grandparents!  Lucille loves her Aunts and Uncles and is super excited to be the flower girl in her "Aunt Pay Pay's" wedding!!
