Best Man
Even though he's my older brother, I taught him everything he knows about fishing. I could always count on him to be there when I needed him. -Brent
Matron of Honor
My parents said I poked her in the eye when we were only a few months old... I guess that's how you make a life long friend. -Addy
Groomsman
He is the middle cousin that was known for always being good at night games, eventually evolving into the "Lock Ness Welder". LV 100 for elusiveness. He was also on the wrestling team in high school and I would always take him down. -Brent
Bridesmaid
We met when she was assigned my little in our college sorority. This means that she is stuck with me for life, but she's okay with it! Now, she's living her best life in Portland and which gives us a good excuse to visit the west coast. -Addy
Groomsman
Jeff is the oldest of the Louis boys but would always include us by bring us with to the Excel Energy Center to watch professional lacrosse with a handful of his friends. We could always rely on him to test out the durability of our water bottles on trail in the Badlands. Now he has calmed down, become an upstanding citizen and raising two kids. -Brent
Bridesmaid
We met thanks to a high school physics project. She hated me because I screwed up hours of work during the final run. I never got the hint and eventually she gave up and accepted I that wasn't going anywhere -Addy
Groomsman
On our family trips, you would often find him roaming with the buffalo. Addy's first experience with my cousin was getting her Blazer stuck after trying to plow through a snow covered trash can he had thrown into the driveway the night before. -Brent
Bridesmaid
Alex was fresh out of homeschool and what a sight we were. She always wore her Happy Bunny sweatshirt and I always wore my Hersey t-shirt. Attached at the hip, until I insulted her drawing of a tree. This causing a 6 year rift in our friendship that I'll never let her live that down. Now, she's my person when I need someone to talk to on long (and short) drives. -Addy
Groomsman
We got him to join our group and leave the preppy kids' click at some point in grade school. He was featured on the Shark Week track for the "Luke and Brent Experience" album, is co-founder of the "Wave Watchers Coalition" and is an expert at NFL madden on playstation. -Brent
Bridesmaid
I met her the first day of OTA school. She is unbelievably hard working, she says she only graduated because of me, but truthfully, I would have had a very hard time in school without her as my class partner. I knew we were going to get along well because we both loved coffee. She knew we were going to get along well because "we both had messy hair buns". We've been inseparable ever since. -Addy
Groomsman
I don't remember how we met, we have just always been friends. He was a great partner for the 6th grade Lewis and Clark project and always had the best airsoft gear but never hit the target. We have a lot of good memories camping and fishing and I still hold a 0-2 record in Halo. -Brent
Bridesmaid
I think fate played a huge role in our friendship. She had no where else to live, so I swooped her up to live with Maren and me. She kept me alive, I made her go out and do things and talk to people. One time, I convinced her run a 5k and she swears to never do that again. She is one of the kindest human beings I know. -Addy
Junior Groomsman
Being the only boy, he let it slip that he thought our Christmas gatherings were boring. He was happy to finally have another guy around. Brent has taken it upon himself to help Dane train for wrestling which often times leads to almost breaking antiques or each other at family events. -Addy He's my golf buddy, he's my dude and my go to for shenanigans. -Brent
Junior Bridesmaid
Isabel graduated from High School this past spring and attending the University of Minnesota-Duluth! We are so proud of her and know that she will succeed in whatever she puts her mind too. I might have to sign her up for Grandma's Marathon while she's up there! -Addy
Junior Bridesmaids
I am just in awe of this lady's talent. She still leaves me speechless at every performance, weather it be violin or dance. If we are lucky, we will catch her out on the dance floor, showing off her amazing skills! -Addy
Emotional Support Person
We shared a locker for a brief time in highschool before my only child syndrome kicked in and I kicked her out because I didn't like to share. Somehow, that didn't deter her and we have remained close even when we lived on opposite sides of the the state. She is the type of person that would fight someone for looking at you funny. Unbelievably loyal and truly selfless. -Addy
Usher
Another school friend that has just always been there. To this day has the best options for snacking and can often be found either, skiing in jeans, rooftop sunbathing, playing yard games or in 2nd place in Mario Kart. -Brent
Usher
One might refer to him as "Skip." and I swear he can recite all of Kanye West's lyrics. He is the only member of the wedding party with his own holiday, National Scream at Nav Day celebrated February 8th. -Brent
Officiant
The woman in charge. Fun Fact; Kim's father was the doctor and Addy's grandfather was the pharmacist in Lester Prairie, MN and worked together as partners for many years! Kim will forever be our surrogate mom. She made sure we had everything we needed to survive college. Kim has always looked out for our best interests and we wouldn't be where we are today without her. We are so thankful she is presiding over our ceremony.
