Wedding Party
Abbie
Bride
(Need we say more?)
Joshua
Groom
The one Abbie has deemed a "built in selfie stick" for when they go to Disney
Makayla Lange
Maid of Honor
Miles away, but close at heart, Kayla is more than just the person Abbie turns to for advice and support—she’s a rock through thick and thin. Abbie and Kayla are two "peas in a pod", often scaring Josh with how much they are alike. From planning the bachelorette party to ensuring every detail of the wedding day is flawless, Kayla's been right there, making everything easier and even more special.
Cole Dretzka
Best Man
Having Cole as a best man is one of the greatest honors of this whole experience. He’s not just Josh's sibling—he’s his lifelong partner-in-crime, the sound board, and one of Josh's greatest supporters. Josh and Cole have shared countless adventures, laughs, and challenges over the years, and Cole has always had Josh's back through it all.
Megan Gemperline
Bridesmaid
Although Megan and Abbie have had their fair share of differences growing up, they have truly grown closer together with time. Abbie knowing that she is always able to go to Megan for anything without judgement means the world to her, and she is forever thankful for that. Abbie is beyond excited to have Megan as one of her bridesmaids to share this milestone with.
Nathan Gerth
Groomsman
Having Nathan as a groomsman means so much to Josh. He’s not just family—he’s like a best friend. Always there with advice, laughs, and unforgettable memories. From family gatherings to late-night talks, he’s always had Josh's back. Josh couldn’t imagine this day without him standing by my side, celebrating and supporting him in this next chapter.
Amanda Schuster
Bridesmaid
Amanda is more like a sister to Abbie than a family friend. She helped Abbie pick out her wedding dress, makes delicious food, and is always available for advice. Abbie's mom used to wonder where she get's her "Abitude" from....it's from Amanda. That's what happens when you leave your child in the hands of another strong personality. Fun fact - she's also Cole and Maddy's mama!
Jake Kaschak
Groomsman
It means so much to Josh to have Jake as a groomsman. He’s not just family but he's also like a brother, always there with advice, laughs, and great memories. From spending time up in Crivitz to spending time with family, he’s always had Josh's back. This day couldn't be imaginable without his support and being able to celebrate.
Madelyn Schuster
Flower Child
Maddy is the sassy, red-headed, (almost) 6-year-old and Cole's younger sister. She will stun you with her sweetness, but beware...she'll give you 5 pounds of sass in a 1-pound bag in an instant.
Cole Schuster
Ring Bearer
Cole is the handsome, sweet, 8-year-old and Maddy's older brother. In his free time, you'll find this Lego Expert building the latest gadget or "wow-ing" you with his random bits of knowledge.
Jameson Grulich
Ring Bearer
Jameson is the dapper (almost) 7-year-old full of energy! And...the newest BIG BROTHER to the family! You'll for sure catch him jamming on the dance floor later in the night!
Julie Busch
Officiant
Julie has known Abbie since she was little from being her Cake Decorating Leader in 4-H. After Josh joined the "Fair Family" (if you know, you know), he came to know Julie, as well as sharing the many laughs (and cheesecake) around the table in the Youth Building during those long, hot, days at the fair. Julie's bubbly personality made her the perfect person to add the mixture of silliness and love to this special day.
