Marcus & Abigail
Wedding Party
Cole Fischer
Best Man
Marcus met Cole early in college, and from that point on, it was game over—in the best way possible. These two have been inseparable ever since, bonding over dumb jokes, late-night casino runs, sports debates that get way too intense, and video game marathons that blur into sunrise. Over the years, they've supported each other in every facet of life, from career moves and travel planning to kitchen experiments and cheering each other on through whatever life throws their way. Whether they're being weird, competitive, or philosophical at 2am for no reason, Marcus and Cole bring out the best in each other. He’s more than a best friend—he’s a brother, and life simply wouldn't be the same without him.
Elizabeth Foutch
Maid of Honor
Elizabeth Foutch, the youngest of the four Foutch siblings, is without a doubt Abigail’s best friend and greatest inspiration. Only 15 months younger, Elizabeth and Abigail grew up doing everything together, from painting each other’s nails to performing made up dances in front of the family —these two are thick as thieves who’ve shared a lifetime of laughter and dreams. Fresh off the heels of graduating Physician Assistant school (we are VERY proud), Elizabeth embodies everything Abigail admires: she’s ambitious with an unshakeable sense of what she wants and approaches life with a competitive spirit that makes her good at practically everything she does. What makes Elizabeth truly special isn’t just her incredible accomplishments—it’s how she’s managed to be Abigail’s role model while simultaneously being her biggest cheerleader. Abigail couldn’t have imagined growing up without a younger sister who consistently inspires her to reach higher, dream bigger, and never settle for less than she deserves. Elizabeth has shown her that the most powerful combination is strength wrapped in love, and that the best friendships really do start at home.
Maggie Guenter
Bridesmaid
Maggie is the definition of a chosen family -a courageous soul with one of the kindest hearts you’ll ever encounter. Her bright light has a magnetic quality that draws people in and Abigail was lucky enough to become of her closest confidantes. From countless college sleepovers filled with karaoke sessions, to trips all over the country, Maggie has been Abigail’s constant companion through many adventures and decisions. Eventually becoming Abigail’s home away from home, and in return, Maggie became a sister Abigail chose for herself. With her unwavering support, infectious joy, and the kind of friendship that makes ordinary moments feel extraordinary, Maggie has shown Abigail what it means to always have someone in your corner, no matter what life brings.
Ashley Wilson
Bridesmaid
Ashley met Abigail at St. Cloud State and what started as teammates quickly became something deeper: a truly supportive, inspiring friendship built on mutual respect, encouragement, and unwavering loyalty. Ashley encouraged Abigail early in their freshman year to pursue Marcus, proving she has an incredible instinct for seeing what’s truly meant to be. From running marathons side-by-side to sharing life goals, health tips, and the occasional “tough love” pep talk when it’s needed most, Ashley and Abigail are the ultimate accountability buddies who push each other to be their best selves. Ashley’s genuine care and wisdom have been a constant source of strength for Abigail, whether celebrating victories or navigating challenges. Their friendship is the kind that makes you believe in soulmates—not just in romance, but in friendship—and both Abigail and Marcus are grateful to have Ashley’s bright spirit and loving heart by their side on this special day.
Emmalee Welk
Bridesmaid
Emmalee may be the newest addition to Abigail’s inner circle, but the connection they’ve formed speaks volumes. As Marcus’s sister and Abigail’s soon-to-be sister-in-law, Emmalee brings a quiet strength and fierce determination that perfectly complements her thoughtful nature. A fellow book lover, Emmalee and Abigail have discovered they share not only a passion for literature but also an appreciation for life’s gentler moments—something that has led to many conversations about their dreams for the future. Emmalee’s thoughtfulness shines through in everything she does, from her devotion to her beloved cat to the genuine care she shows for those around her. While she may be the polar opposite of her brother in many ways, Emmalee offers Abigail something beautiful: a kindred spirit who understands her softer sides and a new sister who feels like she was always meant to be part of the family. Their friendship is just beginning to bloom, but Abigail already knows that gaining Emmalee as a sister is one of the most wonderful gifts this marriage will bring.
Courtney Gastecki
Bridesmaid
Courtney is the kind of friend who makes life feel effortless and beautiful all at once. Whether she and Abigail are diving into their latest crafting project, grabbing a salad at Crisp & Green, or simply sitting together in comfortable silence, their time is always filled with genuine laughter, deep comfort, and pure joy. Courtney possesses a rare gift of being both incredibly calming and endlessly uplifting—her grounding presence and heart of gold have been a constant source of peace in Abigail’s life. Courtney is the ultimate companion for any mood or moment, someone who understands without needing explanations and loves without conditions. In a world that often feels chaotic and demanding, Courtney represents something precious: the kind of friendship that feels like coming home. Her ability to find joy in simple moments and create magic out of ordinary days has shown Abigail the true meaning of unconditional friendship, and having her stand by her side on this special day feels like the most natural thing in the world.
Brad Nordick
Groomsman
Brad and Marcus go way back—like, elementary school back. These two grew up side by side, spending just about every day after school at Brad’s house playing whatever sport they could fit in the backyard. When they weren’t playing with sports balls, they were fishing—a lot. From biking to the river and casting lines all night to countless early mornings on the lake, Brad became Marcus’s lifelong fishing partner and brother in all things outdoors. They even worked summers together for Brad’s dad’s construction company, learning the meaning of hard work, loyalty, and how to laugh through just about anything. Brad’s not just a friend—he’s family, and the kind of rock-steady presence everyone hopes for in life.
Dillon Boe
Groomsman
Dillon has been one of Marcus’s best friends since way back—think endless backyard games, sleepovers that turned into marathons of laughter, and spontaneous moments that somehow always became lifelong memories. Dillon is the life of the party and the definition of “down for whatever.” Whether it’s belting out their favorite oldies songs, trying to help Marcus (desperately) break 120 in golf, or laying on the roof watching stars, he brings energy, joy, and a big heart to every moment. These two have also logged serious hours in intense, late-night pinochle battles—equal parts strategy, smack talk, and snacks. He’s family—the brother Marcus never had, and the one who makes life a whole lot more fun.
Caleb Dachtler
Groomsman
Marcus met Caleb junior year of college, and from that moment on, Caleb became a constant—one of those rare people who shows up for every adventure and every deep, late-night life talk. He didn’t just become a close friend; he also helped connect Marcus to an entire crew of now-close friends, opening up a whole new chapter of friendships and memories. From cross-country road trips to snow-covered mountain runs, Timberwolves games to daily mischief around Minneapolis, Caleb is always down and always present. He’s the friend you call when you need advice, a laugh, or just someone to go full send into life with. A rock, a ride-or-die, and the kind of guy who makes the everyday unforgettable.
Jake Foutch
Groomsman
Jake is Abby’s brother—but soon, he’ll officially be Marcus’s first brother, too. From the very beginning, Jake has been incredibly supportive of Abby and Marcus’s relationship, welcoming Marcus into the family with open arms (and cold beers). For the past eight years, he’s made Marcus feel like one of his own—whether they’re out fishing, tackling a project, or just hanging out and enjoying the moment. Outdoorsy, genuine, and always down for a good time, Jake isn’t just future family—he’s already there.
