Tanya & Daniel
Wedding Party
Kayla Hartman
Maid of Honor
Tanya's eldest sister. We lived together for about four years/she took care of me for four years haha my hero and role model in more ways than I can count. She is the person I always want to tell first, including our engagement. She lives in Florida with her special someone, Mikey, and their son Jeter.
Kevin Craig
Best Man
My older brother. That's all I have to say about that.
Ashley Vistine
Bridesmaid
Tanya's second oldest sister. We spent most of our teenage life connected at the hip and voluntarily sharing a room. Peircings, eyeliner and seeing our favorite bands was most of high school for us. She lives in Illinois with her husband, Dan, and their three children Daniel, Athena and AJ.
Mike Mocarski
Groomsman
Mike, A.K.A Mouse, introduced me to Homebrewing days after turning 21. We've had countless nights of "research" in his parents basement talking about our dream of opening our own brewery while eating frozen pizza or his mom's homemade Chicken and Wild Rice Soup. Fast forward seven years, the days of late night brewing in the garage have passed but whenever Mouse and I are together, the "research" continues.
Mercedez Kelly
Bridesmaid
Tanya's long-time best friend. We met in the school library in 8th grade over a bag of hot Cheetos. We have been through just about everything together. Family dramas, boy troubles, sports, getting our drivers licenses, graduating, working at Walmart right after HS. She lives in Illinois with her daughter Ziaya.
Mark Pratt
Groomsman
Mark and I have been friends since third grade. When we first met way back in the day we thought it was so cool that our names are reversed. His being Mark Daniel and mine Daniel Mark. All throughout grade school we remained good friends causing shenanigans in every class we had together. After High School we took our shenanigans to college and eventually lived together our senior year at John Carrol. Mark has been my longest friend and always will be.
Eugene Hartman
Bridesdude
Tanya's younger brother. We were the closest in age growing up which means I'd play hot wheels with him if he would play Barbie's with me. Everyone always thought we were twins and still do sometimes. I've always admired him for being able to teach himself anything he put his mind to. A lot of random stuff like bagpipes, making vape juice, juggling, making models, unicycling....ect. He lives in Illinois taking care of our parents farm.
Jeff Klausener
Groomsman
And then there was Jeff. Jeff was one of the first people I meat after moving to Illinois and oh boy has it been a wild ride. Working together at The Beer Cellar slaying tips, having bottles shares on the Goofy Roof, or making Mead in our kitchens. Jeff, thanks for everything this far.
Jessica Vistine
Bridesmaid
Tanya's youngest sister. We were THE WIERDEST kids ever. I could be my craziest self around her with not only no judgment but a freak being weird right along side me. We liked to have 80's style yoga, record our own show/music videos, and fry up ham and roast beef at two in the morning. She lives in Illinois with her husband Devin and their two children Violet and Vincent.
Brian Hagen
Groomsman
Brian and I met through Column, our former employer. A few days after moving to Illinois he invited me to his Luau Party. I accepted and that's how I met Tanya. -Danny He is also a long time(pushing 11 years), close friend of mine! We have many memories of super sleepovers in high school, road trips to Miami, and countless laughs. -Tanya
Diane and John Vistine
Parents of the Bride
I love my parents more than I can even describe. They have always been there for me and are the most generous people I know. I want my marriage to be everything theirs is. Loving, supportive, gracious, understanding, unconditional. I love how welcoming they are of Danny and immediately accepted him as family. They live in Illinois/Florida with their three puppies Indie, Franklin, and Ellie Mae.
Colleen and John Craig
Parents of the Groom
My parents have always wanted nothing but the best for my brother and I. Their love and support throughout my life is the reason I am the man I turned out to be. When I first introduced Tanya to my parents, my mom told me, "she's perfect for you. She's smart, beautiful, and funny." They have accepted Tanya into our family like the daughter they never had.
Nicasio Hartman
Officiant
Tanya's youngest brother. My baby brother who is basically my soul sister. I think out of all my siblings we have the most in common. I'll always be protective of him and always be proud of how kind, smart, talented and funny he is. He lives in Illinois where he attends The American Academy of Art in downtown Chicago. Danny and I both immediately agreed he would be perfect as our officiant.
